Strait of Hormuz closure could drive up costs beyond the gas pump, experts warn

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is causing global crude oil prices to surge, with potential ripple effects on various industries beyond just gasoline prices, including agricultural transport and port logistics. While the US imports a relatively small amount of oil from the Strait, it is still affected by the global market. Price decreases after the conflict may occur, but a full recovery to pre-war levels could take several months.
