Oil prices have surged after renewed fighting involving Iran and restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Germany is already feeling the impact, with energy prices more than 10% higher than a year ago and petroleum products driving up import costs. The energy shock is adding pressure on German households, manufacturers and businesses already struggling with weak growth and global competition. Across Europe, prolonged high energy prices could weaken economic recovery, keep inflation elevated and make it harder for the European Central Bank to cut interest rates. #IranConflict #OilPrices #GermanyEconomy #Europe #EnergyCrisis #StraitOfHormuz #Inflation #ECB Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
