Event details
AP reported that higher gasoline and electricity costs tied to the Iran-war energy shock pushed U.S. consumer inflation above 4%, with the story framing household and business costs as a domestic consequence of the Hormuz and oil-price pressure already tracked on infinitenews.
Context
This turns the energy crisis from a tanker-and-Brent story into a U.S. cost-of-living input. The watchpoint is whether oil and power costs keep the CPI pressure alive long enough to affect Fed expectations, consumer demand, or political tolerance for prolonged strikes.
