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.
