Show Notes
Oil prices surge past $100 per barrel for the first time since 2022, driven by the war in Iran and disruptions in Middle East oil production and shipping. Brent crude reached $107.97, with U.S. crude up 36% and Brent climbing 28% last week. The spike has caused stock futures to drop and raised concerns about inflation and consumer spending worldwide. Iran, Israel, and the U.S. have attacked oil facilities, further fueling supply worries. Energy Secretary Chris Wright predicts U.S. gas prices will soon fall under $3 per gallon, but analysts warn that staying above $100 could overwhelm the global economy.
