Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to remain a major concern for global markets, particularly because of risks surrounding oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz.
Fresh military developments and attacks involving vessels in and around the region have raised fears of a prolonged disruption to energy supplies. Brent crude remained above $96 per barrel, keeping inflation concerns alive.
The situation is particularly important for India because the country depends heavily on imported crude oil. A sustained increase in crude prices could impact India’s import bill, inflation and corporate profitability. As a result, developments in the Middle East will remain a major factor for Indian investors.
