International crude oil prices continued to trade at elevated levels as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East remained unresolved. Investors are closely watching developments around the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route through which a significant portion of the world’s crude oil supply passes. Any disruption could tighten global supplies and increase fuel prices.
For India, higher crude oil prices remain a major concern because the country imports most of its oil requirements. Rising energy costs could increase inflation, impact transportation expenses and put pressure on sectors such as aviation, logistics and paints. Economists believe crude oil will remain one of the biggest factors influencing domestic markets in the near term.
