油价上升已传导至消费端。英国汽油价格自7月初以来上升5便士每升,达到约1.56英镑 1;柴油价格为1.72英镑每升 1。美国汽油价格突破每加仑4美元,高于一个月前的3.92美元 1。天然气价格同样承压,英国天然气基准价格约150便士每热量单位,远高于6月底的98便士 1。

Brent crude oil surged above $100 per barrel for the first time since May on Thursday, with prices climbing more than 6 percent 1. The sharp increase reflects escalating tensions in the Middle East, where U.S. military operations against Iran began on February 28 1, and Houthi militants have intensified attacks on oil tankers in the Red Sea, threatening global energy transport routes 1.
The price spike has cascaded through consumer markets worldwide. In the United Kingdom, petrol prices have risen 5 pence per liter since early July to approximately 1.56 pounds per liter, while diesel reached 1.72 pounds per liter 1. Across the Atlantic, U.S. gasoline prices exceeded $4 per gallon, up from $3.92 a month earlier 1.
Natural gas has also felt the pressure. British gas prices near 150 pence per thermal unit, substantially higher than the 98 pence recorded at the end of June 1. These energy cost increases are contributing to broader inflationary pressures, with the U.K. reporting inflation of 2.6 percent year-on-year through June and the United States at 3.5 percent 1.
Diplomatic efforts appear stalled. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Iranian leadership is "not ready to reach an agreement" 1, signaling continued tension as geopolitical risks continue to drive commodity markets upward.
