Attacks by Houthis on energy facilities in Saudi Arabia have stoked concerns over energy supply disruption, causing Brent crude to reach a more than five-month high, hovering around $114 per barrel. These events have fueled inflation risks in the Middle East. In response, the Reserve Bank of India used foreign exchange measures to stabilize the Indian Rupee amidst these inflation fears.
