US Inflation Hits Three-Year High as Energy Prices Surge

World Business Report

Available for 24 days

The cost of goods in the United States is rising at its fastest pace in three years, with inflation driven mainly by soaring energy prices since the start of the war in Iran. Economists say the energy shock is feeding through into broader price pressures across the world’s largest economy. Meanwhile, Taiwan’s TSMC, a key player in the global AI boom and the centre of the US-China tech rivalry, has been speaking exclusively to the Âé¶¹Éç about whether it can keep up with surging demand for advanced chips. And with just a day to go, large numbers of World Cup 2026 tickets are appearing on resale platforms. Presenter: Leanna Byrne Producer: David Cann
