Americans are experiencing a sharp rise in gas prices this week, with the national average gasoline price posting its largest weekly jump since the early days of the Russia-Ukraine war. If fuel prices continue to climb as the U.S.-Israeli Operation Epic Fury intensifies against Iran, the fallout for consumer sentiment may weigh on the broader economy and affect voting polls in the near term. The surge in gasoline and diesel prices at pumps nationwide doesn't appear to be a concern for President Trump (at least not yet). "I don't have…

India’s largest private refiner, Reliance Industries, is sounding the market for buying Russian crude, an anonymous source told Bloomberg on Friday, after the United States on Thursday issued a temporary one-month license to India allowing it to purchase Russia-origin crude loaded on vessels before or on March 5.  Even before the waiver was issued, India was considering returning to buying Russian crude amassed in floating storage in Asia as the war in Iran and Tehran’s retaliatory strikes in the region have severely disrupted…

Brent tops $90 as the Strait of Hormuz closure halts Gulf oil flows and Iraq and Kuwait begin cutting output, fueling fears of a sharper price surge. Friday, March 06, 2026 When a US President declares that there would be no deal with Iran except for ‘unconditional surrender’, the oil markets rally. Hence, there should be nothing surprising about ICE Brent jumping above $90 per barrel for the first time since April 2024, as the closure of Strait of Hormuz continues, with zero crude oil movement out of the Persian Gulf.

The United States produces more crude oil than any country in history, pumping more than 13.5 million barrels per day. On paper, that suggests a high level of energy security. But energy security for different states depends on infrastructure and access. For the 39 million residents of California, independence is largely geographic fiction. If the Strait of Hormuz remains constrained, attention will focus on Asia’s large crude importers. Yet a close look at U.S. pipeline maps and refinery configurations shows that California is uniquely exposed…
