What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Olivier Gervais, director of modelling and forecasting at Scotiabank, reported that record diesel price spikes are creating inflation pressure. This pressure is driven by a structural product shortage, rather than a standard crude oil supply issue. The war in Iran has severely disrupted maritime shipping and transit through the Strait of Hormuz, creating a bottleneck for oil and refined products.

Gervais stated that diesel amplifies the inflationary impulse in both Canada and the United States. The sharp increase in oil and diesel prices is poised to drive up costs for virtually all goods and services, particularly food and housing.
