Participants at the Semafor World Economy conference were warned by energy expert Wright that high energy prices will continue to rise until significant maritime traffic can pass through a key navigable route. He predicted that oil prices will reach a "peak level" in the coming weeks, considering that they directly influence pump costs. Brent crude has risen by about 40% since the beginning of the war, approaching 100 dollars per barrel. Although Wright previously mentioned a possible decrease in gasoline prices, he and President Donald Trump warned that they will remain high for a long time. Trump imposed a naval blockade on Iran, aimed at limiting its oil exports, threatening to destroy Iranian ships that would violate the blockade. This complicated situation could have a significant impact on global energy markets.
