# Oil market strain fuels warnings of prolonged high gas prices

Prolonged supply disruption: The Strait of Hormuz closure continues to tighten oil supplies, keeping Brent crude prices high and fueling global market volatility. Inflation risks in India: India warns that higher fuel costs and below-normal monsoon rains could drive retail inflation and weaken rural demand. Long wait for relief: Oil futures suggest U.S. gas prices may not fall below $3 per gallon until 2032, barring a major drop in crude prices.
