NEW YORK -- Fuel prices from crude to coal continue to surge across the globe, fueling concerns that the world is headed into energy-driven inflation and driving investors to seek out safe havens.
North Sea Brent crude, an international benchmark for crude oil prices, temporarily topped $80 a barrel for the first time since October 2018 in London on Tuesday. Back in New York, U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude also hit its highest price since July.
