US inflation rises in March as Iran war impact reaches consumers

  • US inflation rises to 3.3 per cent in March, driven by fuel costs.
  • Oil prices surge over 30 per cent amid Iran conflict, lifting transport and goods prices.
  • Rate cut hopes fade as inflation pressures persist and uncertainty grows.

The latest US inflation data is starting to reflect the ripple effects of the Iran war, with consumer prices rising 3.3 per cent in March, adding fresh pressure on households and complicating the outlook for interest rates. The spike, largely driven by surging oil prices, is now feeding into everyday costs, from fuel to flights.

Figures from the US Department of Labor show that prices rose sharply over the month, marking the biggest increase in nearly four years. The jump comes as global crude prices climbed more than 30 per cent during the conflict, pushing petrol costs above £3.20 per gallon ($4) for the first time in over three years.
