A regional conflict in the Middle East, linked to the war between the US and Iran, has disrupted global oil production, refining, and shipping. This instability has driven up oil prices, with Brent crude reaching approximately $107 a barrel amid a stalemate over the Strait of Hormuz. Economists warn that the inflation resulting from the conflict is likely to slow consumer spending in the coming quarter.
