U.S. Gasoline Prices Surge Most in Nearly 60 Years as March CPI Jumps on Iran Conflict • April 10, 2026 — The March Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.9% month-over-month — the sharpest increase since 2022 — pushing the annual rate to 3.3% from 2.4%. • Energy prices drove nearly all of the monthly gain, jumping 10.9% (largest since 2005). Gasoline alone soared 21.2%, marking the biggest one-month increase since the series began in 1967. Gasoline accounted for about three-quarters of the overall CPI rise. • The national average gasoline price has climbed to around $4.11–$4.14 per gallon (up over $1 in recent weeks), fueled by the U.S.-Iran conflict and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz that pushed crude oil above $109–$111 per barrel. • The Trump administration has called the spike temporary amid ceasefire talks, but analysts say relief at the pump could take weeks or months even if tensions ease, with some areas potentially seeing $5+ prices if issues persist. • Energy stocks in focus: Higher crude and refining margins are boosting interest in names like ExxonMobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), Marathon Petroleum (MPC), and select refiners and producers positioned to benefit from elevated prices.

Izvestia is the first Russian media outlet to report on the situation on Kharg Island, Iran's main oil export hub, following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between Tehran and Washington. Kharg Island is partially closed to the public—strict security regulations are in place, and photography is permitted only in designated areas. The island has a small population of between 500,000 and 1,000,000. "We, as journalists, may be the first to reach here by sea after the ceasefire," said correspondent Nasser Ashkeri. According to a local resident, he hasn't heard any airstrikes since the ceasefire was announced. He's tired of the bombing and wants calm to return to the region, but not at any cost. "At any cost—no, it has to be fair. If they start bombing us again—no. America has to leave this region," the resident replies. The island's military significance is underscored by its natural features—its rocky coastline makes it difficult for enemy forces to land, and military forces are stationed on the island. The journalist emphasized that Iran was able to resist US and Israeli pressure without outside assistance, demonstrating its regional importance. The correspondent added that oil tankers are currently awaiting loading in the island's waters, making it the economic and geopolitical center of the region. More than 80% of all oil shipments originate from this island. On the night of April 8, Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Despite this, reports of drone violations of Iranian airspace and strikes on Lebanon were already being reported yesterday. Media outlets also reported that Iran would withdraw from the ceasefire if Israel continued to violate the ceasefire with its attacks on Lebanon. Izvestia examines what the US-Iran ceasefire means for the region and the global economy. More IZ RU news in MAX
