Geopolitical concerns continued to dominate global markets after fresh tensions between the United States and Iran raised fears of further disruption to energy supplies.
Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important energy routes, has slowed amid threats of retaliation and concerns regarding the safety of commercial vessels. Iran has also warned about the vulnerability of energy infrastructure in the Gulf region.
The situation is being closely watched by global investors because any major disruption could push crude oil prices significantly higher. For India, a prolonged conflict could affect energy costs, inflation and the rupee, making the Middle East developments an important factor for domestic markets.
