Here are the latest economic events in the Middle East war on Friday:
(The Center Square) – President Donald Trump said Friday he is considering a temporary suspension of shipping regulations that govern energy, agricultural and other cargoes moved between U.S. ports as prices for crude oil, gasoline and diesel fuel continued to push higher on the 13th day of the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.
Oil prices stayed over $100 per barrel Friday while stock markets slid, with no end in sight to disruption in crude supplies as war rages on in the Middle East.
(The Center Square) – The ongoing U.S.-Israeli military offensive against Iran is causing drivers in Washington state – already paying some of the highest gas prices in the nation – to shell out even more of their hard-earned money for fuel. That’s not going to change any time soon, according to one expert.
The war in the Middle East has largely paralysed the Gulf region's crucial oil industry, which has been hit by attacks and an export blockade.
Only 77 ships have so far crossed the Strait of Hormuz in March as the Mideast war disrupts one of the world's most vital shipping routes, a maritime data firm reported Friday.
President Donald Trump said in an interview aired Friday that American forces would strike Iranian targets "very hard" in the coming days, signaling an intensification of the US-Israeli campaign as the war in the Middle East approaches its third week.
