The spike is attributed to escalating oil costs following diplomatic tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping chokepoint for global energy supplies. Negotiation stalls regarding the strait's reopening have intensified market volatility, pushing fuel costs substantially higher compared to the previous year, affecting consumers and businesses nationwide.
