— U.S. diesel prices reached a record high today, climbing to an average of $5.85 per gallon as the six-month war with Iran continues to disrupt global fuel supplies, AP reports.The surge is raising transportation and delivery costs across the economy, with some businesses already passing the additional expense on to customers through higher fees. Food and other consumer goods could also become more expensive as freight costs rise.
Brent crude has meanwhile climbed above $95 a barrel, compared with roughly $70 before the war began.
