Escaladarea conflictului dintre SUA și Iran împinge prețul petrolului spre 91 de dolari

Oil prices have surged due to escalating tensions between the US and Iran, particularly affecting the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude rose nearly 3% to around $91 per barrel, while WTI approached $85. The situation has led to reduced maritime traffic in the region, with the US reinstating a naval blockade on Iranian ports. This uncertainty is impacting global oil supply and prices, influencing fuel costs in the US and Europe. Analysts warn that prolonged tensions could keep energy prices high, complicating central banks' efforts to control inflation.
