This morning, the price of UK natural gas - used by OFGEM to calculate the cap on domestic energy bills - jumped by 15%, following the bombing of the world’s largest LNG plant in Qatar. Oil has jumped to over $116 a barrel. On February 27, before the first missile was fired at Iran, it was trading at $72. At the pumps, the price of petrol has risen by 10 pence a litre, diesel is up 20 pence - the price of both will climb further in the days ahead.
