The average price for a gallon of diesel in the US blew past $5 this week for only the second time in history. (Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine marked the fuel's first foray into previously unfathomable territory.) Although most consumers are far more concerned with the price of gasoline, it's the even sharper increase in diesel that has businesses on alert. That's because it powers nearly every industry, from the tractors plowing the fields to the machinery erecting buildings to the semitrucks, trains and buses that transport goods and people coast-to-coast. Diesel is the trucking industry's second-largest expense, after driver pay, accounting for about a fifth of operating costs, according to Bob Costello, chief economist at American Trucking Associations. Bloomberg News Oil Reporter Nathan Risser joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.

US President Donald Trump appears to be losing control of the war with Iran that he started. More than three weeks in, Tehran remains defiant and has lashed out more fiercely at Gulf neighbors than Trump expected. The Strait of Hormuz is still effectively closed, and even America's closest allies have refused his request to help reopen it. Israel has launched attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure Trump claims without Washington's knowledge, prompting an attack on Qatar that has taken 17% of its LNG export capacity offline for three to five years. So where does that put Trump? The conflict's current trajectory looks untenable as the economic, political and military costs mount. Bloomberg Economics Senior Geoeconomics Analyst for Asia-Pacific Adam Farrar joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.
