Oil Hits 6-Week High as U.S.-Iran Strikes Lift Gasoline to $4.15

3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Sep 8

Oil extended gains Tuesday after climbing to a six-week high a day earlier, with traders reacting to U.S. and Iran strikes exchanged over the weekend.
Middle East tensions also weighed on broader risk sentiment, leaving U.S. stock futures broadly lower while Asian markets traded mixed.
U.S. drivers are already feeling the move: AAA put the national average for regular gasoline at $4.15 a gallon on Monday, a Labor Day record.
That topped the previous holiday high of $3.82 set on Sept. 3, 2012, raising the cost of road trips during one of the busiest U.S. travel weekends.
