Is the Middle East crisis about to hit our energy bills?

Amid the escalating Middle East conflict, Iran’s near-closure of the Persian Gulf is rattling global markets. The disruption has sent oil prices soaring and sparked global concern over oil supply, which has had a spill-over effect on equity and gilt markets.

In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to the Standard’s business editor, Jonathan Prynn, to discuss the impact of these events on markets – and our wallets. The two discuss how quickly bills will rise, how costly this could be for Brits, and which sectors will be rocked by the continuing conflict in the Middle East.
