Gas Prices May Not Drop $4.04 — that's Current average gas price per gallon. Here's what happened: • Energy Secretary Chris Wright said gas prices may not drop below $3 a gallon until next year due to the U.S. war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. • The war has caused gas prices to soar to about $4.04 per gallon on average, according to AAA, since it began on February 28. • The Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping channel, carries about a fifth of the world's oil and has been largely locked up by Tehran. • Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that 'under $3 a gallon is pretty tremendous in inflation-adjusted terms' and that the U.S. will get back to that price point after the conflict is resolved. Market impact: 🛢️ Oil: -2.5% (late last week) "I don't know, that could happen later this year, that might not happen until next year, but prices have likely peaked" — Chris Wright, U.S. Energy Secretary Why this matters: → The ongoing war between the U.S. and Iran continues to impact energy markets and gas prices. → The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted global oil supplies, contributing to higher gas prices. → A resolution to the conflict could lead to lower energy prices and a decrease in gas prices. What to watch next: → How U.S. markets react at the open → Any new diplomatic or policy signals → Rotation into safe-haven assets Source: CNBC Follow @wealthclaude for daily market intelligence.
