Ridgewood NJ, Gas prices hit their highest levels since 2008 Thursday and some stations in New Jersey, the dreaded price of $4 a gallon for regular has already been reached.
The national average now at the highest in nearly a decade. The rapid ascent is pinching consumers’ pockets, and experts say there may be little end in sight.
The national average for a gallon of regular gas stood at $3.83 on Friday, according to data from AAA, the highest since September 21, 2012. Prices are rising at a fast clip — Friday’s average is nearly 11 cents above Thursday’s. Americans are paying about 27 cents more per gallon than last week, and 41 more cents than a month ago.
The spike follows a surge in oil prices. West Texas Intermediate crude, the U.S. oil benchmark, topped $116 per barrel Thursday, also the highest level since 2008.
Russia’s Ukraine invasion could have set in motion an energy market disruption on the scale of major oil crises in the 1970s, according to Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of IHS Markit.
Bill Gross, the one-time so-called bond king who co-founded fixed income giant Pimco, said he sees the possibility of stagflation in the economy and he wouldn’t buy stocks aggressively now.
Morgan Stanley names this energy stock a top pick, sees nearly 20% upside and JPMorgan predicts prices could reach $185 by the end of the year.
