Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

The fresh escalation in West Asia has caused sharp volatility across global commodity markets since last week. Brent crude prices, which were near USD 68 a barrel before the conflict, surged to as high as USD 126.41 per barrel. In India, the crisis has driven up wholesale prices, with onion prices rising by 63% and sugar prices up by 41%.

This situation is adding pressure to India's domestic market, where the Reserve Bank of India mandates a 4% headline inflation target. The crisis adds to the challenges of elevated food inflation and potential agricultural output issues.
