Can the international market affect India?
A sharp rise in the prices of crude oil was recorded in the international market on Friday. Brent crude reached above 88 dollars per barrel, while US WTI crude also closed above 82 dollars per barrel due to increasing military tensions between the US and Iran and increasing risks on maritime trade routes.
However, there is currently no change in the prices of petrol and diesel in India. In the coming days, if the rise in crude oil prices in the global market continues for a long time, then its effect can be seen on domestic fuel prices also.
