How this affects you

Falling crude oil prices due to the US-Iran ceasefire are seen as a "clear macro positive" for India, potentially easing inflation, supporting external balances, and improving corporate earnings visibility for Indian businesses. This could also stabilize the Indian Rupee and reduce Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) outflows.
