In such a situation, experts believe that the times to come may be difficult.
Inflation likely to rise: Expert
Iran's latest attack has heightened tensions in the region that produces a third of the world's crude oil. In such a situation, if tension increases between the two countries, the price of crude oil may increase. Experts believe that this will increase inflation further. This may cause instability at the global level including the Indian stock market.
Crude oil prices may increase
The price of crude oil increased by 19% from $75.89 per barrel on January 2, 2024 to $90.45 per barrel on April 12, 2024. Now due to the increasing tension between these two countries, there is a high possibility that oil imports and hence exports will be affected. As inflation rates rise, central banks will be less likely to lower interest rates.
