India's 10-year bond yield fell sharply on Monday, its biggest drop in two months, after Brent crude collapsed nearly 13% across two sessions following a US-Iran fighting pause. Lower oil prices ease India's inflation and current account risks, giving the RBI more room to hold its easing stance.
Brent crude dropped $6.20 to $90.58 and WTI fell $5.80 to $83.51 on Monday after the US and Iran paused military strikes, raising hopes of a diplomatic solution. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains well below normal, and Houthi attacks on Saudi Red Sea installations keep the supply outlook fragile.
Brent crude surged past $100 per barrel on Thursday, up more than 5% in a single session, as the Middle East conflict continues to escalate. The move raises fresh inflation risks for oil-importing economies and puts pressure on fuel costs globally.
The US launched a second wave of strikes on Iran's coastal defences and missile sites Thursday, while Iran hit American military installations in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. Brent crude hit a one-month high of $84.95 as the Strait of Hormuz remained closed, keeping global energy markets on edge.
Brent crude rose 2.3 percent to $85.20 a barrel on Tuesday as the US reimposed a naval blockade of Iran and both sides escalated strikes in the Strait of Hormuz. Tanker traffic through the strait fell to a two-month low, with two UAE vessels hit by Iranian cruise missiles and one Indian crew member killed.
Brent crude jumped over 3% to above $78 a barrel and WTI hovered near $74, extending last week's 5.4% gain, as US-Iran tensions drove traders to price in a geopolitical supply risk premium.
Brent crude jumped 4.38% to $79.50 a barrel and WTI rose 4.30% to $74.20 on July 13, extending a 5.5% rally from the prior week as U.S. and Iran military strikes stoked supply disruption fears. Analysts are now flagging $100 oil as a scenario worth pricing in if the Strait of Hormuz is threatened.
Brent crude hit $84.98 per barrel and WTI reached $79.79 on July 14, 2026, completing a 10% rally driven by the escalating US-Iran conflict. The spike raises fuel costs and inflation risks for major oil importers, including India.
Oil prices jumped roughly 3% on Monday after Iran expanded strikes to hit Qatar and the UAE, threatening a fragile interim U.S.-Iranian agreement. Traders are pricing in higher supply disruption risk across one of the world's busiest energy corridors.
US strikes on Iran sent Brent crude above $76 a barrel for the first time in two weeks, reversing a recent price slide. The move raises fresh fears about oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz, with direct consequences for fuel costs, inflation, and rate policy globally.
Brent crude crossed $80 a barrel on Friday, extending gains even after President Trump said oil prices would "come down very big." Markets are pricing geopolitical risk higher than political assurances, with potential knock-on effects for inflation and central bank rate decisions.
Brent crude climbed to $78.80 a barrel and WTI rose to $74.26 as renewed US-Iran war tensions pushed traders to price in a supply-disruption risk premium. For oil-importing countries like India, a sustained rally above $78 could widen trade deficits and pressure fuel prices.
Brent crude surged to $78 per barrel after the US launched fresh military strikes on Iran and President Trump declared the ceasefire "over." The move raises fears of supply disruption through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for nearly 20 percent of globally traded oil.
OPEC+ agreed to raise output targets by 188,000 barrels per day from August, pushing Brent crude down to $71.78 on Monday. Gulf exports are recovering but remain 40 percent below pre-war levels, with US-Iran diplomacy still the key price driver.
Brent crude rose 1% to $78.80 a barrel and WTI climbed to $74.26 as U.S. strikes on Iran extended an oil rally into a third day. Traders are pricing in the risk of disruption to Strait of Hormuz supply flows, a chokepoint for roughly one-fifth of global oil.
Brent crude jumped 6.3% to $78.80 a barrel after President Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire "over," removing a key stabilizing assumption from energy markets. The spike raises fuel cost and inflation risks globally, with India among the most exposed given its heavy reliance on crude imports.
Opec+ agreed to raise output targets by 188,000 bpd from August, continuing a phased rollback of its 2023 supply cuts. Brent crude, already near $72 per barrel, faces further pressure as Strait of Hormuz traffic recovers and Chinese demand stays weak.
Brent crude fell to $71.26 and WTI to $68.19 on Wednesday, both at four-month lows, after Donald Trump said US-Iran talks in Qatar were progressing well. Recovering tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz added to optimism that a supply disruption is less likely.
Brent crude fell to $73.98 and WTI dropped below $70 on Wednesday as 20 million barrels cleared the Strait of Hormuz in 24 hours and the US authorised Iranian oil sales.
Nasdaq 100 futures fell 1.3% as a chip stock selloff deepened and Brent crude rebounded on Middle East tensions. Investors are on edge ahead of CPI inflation data that could further shift expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts.
