The continuing conflict involving the US and Iran remains one of the biggest risks for global markets. The Strait of Hormuz is particularly important because disruptions to shipping through the waterway can quickly affect crude supplies, freight costs and insurance premiums.
Reports indicate that efforts have been made to maintain shipping corridors through the Strait, but uncertainty remains around the stability of energy flows.
For India, prolonged disruption could translate into higher crude-import costs and additional pressure on the rupee. Investors will therefore continue to monitor developments in the Middle East alongside domestic market cues.
