As of now, domestic flight bookings for travel dates from September 25th to October 7th have exceeded 3.83 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 17%; international flight bookings have exceeded 1.77 million, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 11%.September 4th - U.S. retail diesel prices rose to a record high, potentially fueling energy-driven inflation as the wars between Iran and Russia disrupt energy markets. With global supply shortages persisting and the peak demand season approaching, data from the American Automobile Association (AAA) showed that the average price of diesel across the U.S. rose to $5.85 per gallon on Thursday, surpassing the peak reached in June 2022. The rising diesel prices will not only increase the burden on consumers but also pose political challenges to the White House ahead of the U.S. midterm elections, which are just two months away. Furthermore, the continued rise in diesel prices could further hinder the Federal Reserves efforts to curb inflation. In recent weeks, Federal Reserve officials have signaled differing opinions on the necessity of raising interest rates, with the next Fed meeting scheduled for mid-September.On September 4th, three senior Iranian sources stated that the effects of US sanctions and blockades against Iran are beginning to emerge. In recent weeks, the US has sought to further increase economic pressure on Tehran in an attempt to force concessions from Iran in future negotiations. The six-month-long conflict has so far failed to compel Iran to make any of the concessions the US seeks. The sources said that although Iran has managed to circumvent sanctions for decades, recent US measures have made Irans situation more vulnerable. Iran now has only a few channels left to obtain foreign exchange or purchase goods. The sources specifically pointed out that the US attempt to cut off Irans long-standing international financing networks poses a real and imminent threat to Iran. If an economic war successfully breaks the months-long stalemate, it will boost the confidence of US policymakers. However, Iran has also warned that it may respond to economic pressure with military escalation, making the situation even more risky at this critical juncture.
