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.
Oil prices rose Thursday after the U.S. launched new strikes against Iran, dimming hopes for a Strait of Hormuz reopening. Shipowners are growing more cautious on transit and insurers are reviewing vessel coverage, adding upward pressure on crude prices.
President Donald Trump has announced a ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. The deal could ease Gulf tensions, reduce oil price risk premiums, and shift the geopolitical landscape across the Middle East.
The US has struck Iran, with President Trump citing an Iranian attack on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz as justification. The action raises immediate risks for global oil flows through one of the world's most critical shipping chokepoints.
The U.S. has launched military strikes on Iran, describing the action as self-defense while saying it still supports peace negotiations. The strikes raise immediate risks for regional stability, oil supply routes, and global energy prices.
Fighting near the Strait of Hormuz has hit its worst level since a ceasefire began a month ago, with the U.S. and Iran at a standstill. Tehran has not yet responded to the American position, keeping diplomatic talks stalled and energy markets on edge.
The US and Iran exchanged fire even as President Trump said a ceasefire remained in effect, exposing how fragile the pause is. Washington is still awaiting Tehran's response to a US proposal that would stop fighting but leave Iran's nuclear programme unresolved.
GIFT Nifty is trading around 45 points below Thursday's Nifty 50 close, signalling a mildly weak open for Indian equities. A bigger concern is Brent crude surging past $100 a barrel after fresh US strikes on Iran, which could pressure India's import bill, the rupee, and fuel-sensitive sectors.
Pakistan is mediating between the US and Iran on a short-term deal to end the current fighting. A senior Pakistani official says the priority is a permanent end-of-war declaration, with other disputes to be settled in subsequent direct talks.
US sanctions are blocking approximately 1.8 million barrels per day of Iranian crude oil from global markets. The supply squeeze puts upward pressure on global oil prices and cuts a key revenue source for Tehran.
Trump says he will review a peace offer from Iran while warning of further US strikes if Tehran steps out of line. The parallel threat keeps oil markets and Gulf shipping on edge as the two sides edge toward possible talks.
President Trump formally told Congress the Israel-Iran ceasefire means hostilities have "terminated," arguing he never needed and still does not need congressional authorisation for military action involving Iran.
Oil rose above $110 a barrel in London, a three-week high, as traders waited for the US to respond to an Iranian proposal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The outcome directly affects global energy supply, with India among the most exposed major importers.
Oil prices jumped after the US blockaded Iranian ports, raising fears of a sustained supply shortfall. Trump met oil company executives to explore ways to cushion the hit to fuel supplies. How long the blockade lasts and whether other producers respond will drive prices from here.
Trump said the US naval blockade on Iranian ports will stay, calling it more effective than airstrikes. Oil prices rose as markets weighed the risk of extended supply disruption from Iran. Tehran warned of 'practical' action in response.
MCX crude oil futures surged 6% to ₹8,233 per barrel after reports emerged of a US-Iran ceasefire breach, mirroring a sharp rally in global crude prices. The move raises India's import cost exposure and puts pressure on the current account if prices hold. Near-term direction depends on whether geopolitical tensions
Oil prices jumped 6% above $100 per barrel after the US imposed a blockade on Iran, triggering a sharp repricing of global crude supply risk. The move reflects market conviction that Iranian export volumes face immediate disruption, tightening an already constrained global supply picture.
MCX crude oil futures jumped 7.4% on April 13 after the US military signaled preparations to blockade the Strait of Hormuz following the breakdown of US-Iran truce talks. The strait carries approximately 20% of global oil supply, making any restriction an immediate upside price catalyst. Further direction depends on US
