Oil Surpasses $100 as Iran Conflict Escalates

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take

At the pump, expect a painful jolt as this conflict-driven jump in crude prices rolls into retail gas costs.

💡 Why it matters

This oil price surge could reignite inflation fears and delay expected interest rate cuts, squeezing household budgets across Canada.

Brent crude rose 2.1% above $100 per barrel for the first time since July 2026, following renewed US-Iran attacks in the Gulf and Houthi strikes on Saudi cities. The Guardian reports the milestone was triggered by escalating Middle East war fears disrupting global supply.
