What happened
Following the escalation of the US-Iran war, oil costs have doubled in some regions since the conflict began, according to reports. High inflation has been noted nationally, and experts link the war in Iran and subsequent oil price increases to rising mortgage rates in certain areas of the U.S.

Why it matters
The surge in oil prices is driving up costs for essential heating fuels and contributing to broader economic stresses. This has led to existing homeowners pulling properties off the market, which in turn drives up housing prices due to reduced inventory.
Leaders from India and Korea recently agreed to deepen trade and commerce ties, while PM Modi voiced concern over the conflict in West Asia.
