受霍尔木兹海峡持续中断导致的燃料价格飙升影响，韩国4月消费者价格指数（CPI）同比上涨2.6%，高于3月的2.2%，创下近21个月以来的最快增速。政府数据证实了这一指标。
根据韩国数据与统计部的数据，4月消费者价格同比上涨2.6%，较3月的2.2%有所提速，创下自2024年7月以来的最大同比增幅。
石油产品价格同比飙升21.9%，创下自2022年7月以来的最高纪录，其中柴油价格上涨30.8%，汽油价格上涨21.1%，远超3月石油产品9.9%的涨幅。这些增长源于2月底美以对伊朗采取军事行动导致霍尔木兹海峡关闭，引发全球石油供应中断，而韩国对能源进口的高度依赖进一步放大了这一冲击。
该部官员指出，临时性的燃料价格上限起到了一定缓冲作用，抑制了整体通胀水平。李斗元（音译，Lee Doo-won）表示：“5月燃料价格可能会有小幅上涨。”
工业产品价格上涨3.8%，为2023年2月以来的最快增速。受保险成本增加影响，服务价格上涨2.4%。由于气候条件良好，农畜渔产品价格下降0.5%。剔除食品和能源价格后的核心通胀率从3月的水平小幅升至2.2%。
X平台上的讨论指出，韩国4月CPI同比上涨2.6%，创下自2024年7月以来的最快增速，主要由霍尔木兹海峡中断导致的石油和进口价格飙升所推动。金融分析师预测，由于持续的石油风险，韩国银行（央行）可能会维持利率不变或延长加息周期，同时核心通胀率保持在2.2%的稳定水平。市场情绪中性，重点关注韩元疲软及通胀走势带来的压力。

South Korea released its April CPI and the direction is up to 2.6%YoY but core is steady at 2.2% (excluding energy and food)! Well, it threw about 17bn of subsidies at the economy and so price increase should be much less than say the Philippines but given… https://t.co/OFb91dF0fN

South Korea's consumer prices rose 2.2 percent in March from a year earlier, government data showed Thursday. The increase, exceeding the government's 2 percent inflation target, was mainly driven by a surge in global oil prices due to prolonged Middle East tensions. It marks the steepest rise since December's 2.3 percent, according to the Ministry of Data and Statistics.
