From Washington: President Donald Trump commented on the recent surge in oil prices, stating that they likely won't decrease until after the U.S. midterm elections. The increase in oil prices is attributed to the Iran war. On Wednesday, oil prices jumped over 3%, causing international Brent crude to exceed $100 for the first time since July.
This increase is a result of the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran. Further details about the situation and its impact on oil prices are available from the source.
The current situation with oil prices and the Iran war is ongoing, with more information available for those seeking additional context and updates.
