The ongoing US-Iran conflict continues to dominate global risk sentiment, particularly because of uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. The US says the waterway is open and has established a shipping corridor, while Iran maintains restrictions and the security situation remains uncertain.
The standoff is important for India because any prolonged disruption to the world’s major energy-shipping route could raise freight, insurance and crude-import costs. Investors are therefore watching diplomatic developments closely, as any escalation could quickly affect equities, currencies and commodities.
