Oil prices surged past $107 a barrel after President Trump rejected an Iranian peace proposal and indicated plans to resume US strikes post-November midterms, heightening concerns about prolonged inflation. Brent crude rose 2.6% and WTI 2.7%, pushing gasoline prices to $4.48 a gallon, well above pre-war levels. The conflict risks sustaining high energy costs, which are a major driver of inflation, affecting broader sectors and prompting market declines and rising Treasury yields. With dwindling US reserves and geopolitical tensions escalating, energy supply fears persist, especially as winter approaches and Europe faces low gas inventories.
