Efectul conflictului SUA - Iran în benzinăriile din România / Barilul de peste 100 de dolari poate să declanșeze un nou val de inflație

Brent crude oil prices have surpassed $100 per barrel due to escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran, impacting maritime transport in the Strait of Hormuz. In Romania, fuel prices are already high, with gasoline averaging 9.77 lei per liter and diesel exceeding 10 lei. The increase in oil prices does not directly translate to fuel prices at the pump, as various factors influence costs. However, sustained high oil prices could lead to increased production costs for fuels, affecting consumers. The situation remains uncertain, with potential impacts on inflation and transportation costs if oil prices remain elevated.
