Iranian conflict risks lifting crude oil—and thus gas—prices, potentially reversing the deflationary trend and widening transportation and goods costs. A sustained energy shock could raise inflation expectations and strain American budgets ahead of the midterms; for context, a $10 rise in crude could add about 24 cents to a gallon of gas.
