Military escalation in Iran sent shockwaves through energy and commodity markets, contributing to a sharp rise in consumer prices with the annual Consumer Price Index rising 3.4% in July, and the monthly rate increasing 0.1%,  to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). <\/p>\n<p>At the center of this squeeze is a widening divergence in the American economy.
