AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Middle East Energy Risk: Iran rejected President Trump’s idea of declaring the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory, saying the waterway “will remain Iranian” and can only be opened or closed under Iran’s command, as U.S. forces keep a major Middle East presence and officials warn the standoff could keep pressure on oil and fuel prices. Market Watch (Gas Prices): GasBuddy reports show patchy but generally easing U.S. retail fuel pricing in the week ending Aug. 8, with local lows like E85 at $2.19 in St. Joseph County, premium at $3.89 in Rockwall County, and diesel at $4.79 in Denver County—while national averages remain sensitive to refinery conditions and Middle East shipping disruptions. U.S.-Iran Economic Warfare: Trump and Treasury plans point to tighter sanctions and economic pressure on Iran, with analysts linking the escalation to potential further swings in crude and gasoline costs.
