The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and de-escalation of hostilities could halt downward revisions to India's growth and upward revisions to its inflation, as the conflict previously disrupted supply chains, raised freight/insurance costs, and constrained availability of fertilizers and petrochemicals, posing the largest oil shock in history.
