From the Strait of Hormuz to the electricity bill: how can the conflict in Iran affect consumers?

Oil recorded a rise for three consecutive days, while natural gas reached its highest value since January 2023. Simultaneously, electricity also became more expensive in the Iberian market. These three energy markets are rising at the same time, generating concern among consumers. The situation arises in a context of international tension related to Iran, which raises questions about the potential impact of a conflict in the region on consumer prices. The new episode of the "Economia dia a dia" podcast, hosted by Juliana Simões and published by Expresso, addresses the reasons behind these increases and what they could mean for European consumers.
