What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

Operational costs driven by the conflict in the Middle East have caused diesel prices to rise sharply, with the national average on-highway price reaching $6.53 per gallon on September 21, an increase of nearly 70% year over year. In response, President Donald Trump issued an executive order providing lower diesel prices for truckers and farmers in Mississippi. The conflict has been cited as a primary driver of these increased fuel costs.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The rising fuel costs are increasing operational expenses for firms and agriculture. These wider cost pressures are reported to be putting strain on companies' ability to create job and training opportunities. Furthermore, increased diesel prices are contributing to broader inflationary pressures.
