On March 22, a Wall Street Journal analysis indicated that escalating oil prices influence a wide range of daily goods, including clothing, cosmetics, medicines, and household items, often affecting consumers faster than expected, as oil serves as a critical energy input beyond just fuel. Earlier on March 21, the publication reported experts' predictions that oil prices could reach $180 amid the Iran conflict.
