The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

Escalating US-Iran tensions and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have pushed crude oil prices higher, increasing concerns over global energy supplies and inflation, especially for oil-importing economies like India. This has led to a broad sell-off in global markets and continued foreign institutional investor outflows from Indian equities.
