Oil is now over $92, up 67% so far in 2026. The price can easily break above $100 next week. The U.S. economy was already teetering on the brink of official stagflation before the oil shock. This will likely push it over the edge. Too bad we already tapped the SPR to help Biden.

Pain at the pump is an understatement. With crude at $117, national average gas prices are heading toward $5.00+ immediately. This isn't just a spike; it’s an energy crisis that will redefine the 2026 economic landscape in weeks.
