The US Energy CPI for Q2 (April) 2026 climbed to 346.04, once again rising sharply compared to 329.91 in the previous month, continuing the rapid upward trend since the beginning of the year. The double-digit spike in gasoline and fuel oil prices triggered by the Middle East conflict is the core driver of this round of inflation surge. Institutions warn that if energy prices persistently stay high, it will severely limit the Federal Reserve's room for rate cuts and pose headwinds to the economy.
