What happened

Well supportedReported by 18 independent outlets

Brent crude spiked nearly 7.5% to exceed $108 a barrel following Iranian forces striking 10 ships in the Strait of Hormuz and Houthi rebels seizing the Port of Mocha in Yemen. The Producer Price Index rose 5.4% year-over-year in August, which was hotter than expected. The crisis in the Strait of Hormuz has also led to proposals to halt strikes on energy infrastructure.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The sharp rise in energy costs is contributing to elevated fuel-driven inflation and causing Treasury yields to jump. For nations like Singapore, the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz resulted in $8.1 billion in additional gross fossil fuel costs over six months, despite solar investments providing some savings.

The US-Iran conflict is increasing energy prices and prompting negotiations aimed at easing shipping restrictions through the Strait of Hormuz.
