What happened
Tensions in West Asia have escalated into a full-scale direct war primarily involving the United States and Iran, severely disrupting global energy corridors. As a result, Brent crude oil prices surged to a four-month high of USD 108.77 per barrel. Furthermore, the ongoing energy crisis has driven recent rises in government bond yields.
Why it matters
The conflict and resulting energy price shocks are impacting major oil-importing economies, such as India, where high crude prices could intensify inflationary pressures. The instability in West Asia is also identified as a key risk due to potential disruption to the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20 per cent of global oil flows pass.
