The Iran war's price scoreboard: European gas +143% and still climbing
Charlie Bilello has been keeping a running tally of what the Iran war has actually repriced, and the September 8 update is the one worth looking at: European natural gas up 143% since the conflict began, against 125% on the same chart a day earlier. That two-day delta is the point — the energy repricing is still accelerating rather than settling, a week after the opening strikes. It lands the same session Bloomberg reported crude climbing toward $100 and the Brent tracker took out the level a standing bond-fear call had named as its own invalidation. Worth one read because it converts a headline into a scoreboard: it says which inputs have moved and by how much, which is the difference between a war being loud and a war being an inflation event. The chart is a screenshot of prices, not a model, so treat it as a pointer to the underlying series rather than a citable number.
