US-Iran tensions flared up again on Monday, pushing oil prices higher by over 2% for both main crude contracts.

This came after a US attack on Iranian rocket launchers in the Strait of Hormuz, which has been closed due to hostilities between the two nations.

The Iran war has hindered the Fed's efforts to battle inflation, with energy costs contributing significantly to the current 3.7% rate.

Federal Reserve boss Kevin Warsh hinted at a potential interest rate hike in his speech at the Jackson Hole symposium of central bankers and economists.
