Oil Crosses $100, U.S.-Iran War Rattles Indian Markets and Inflation Outlook
CNBC·Friday, 24 July 2026
Brent crude topped $100 a barrel after the U.S.-Iran conflict escalated, sending global stock markets sharply lower. The S&P 500 shed 1.2% and the Nasdaq tumbled more than 2% on Thursday. Investors and economists are now weighing what the sustained hostilities mean for the broader economy.
Why It Matters
India imports the vast majority of its oil, so a sustained $100-plus crude price directly threatens fuel costs, inflation, and the rupee for every Indian household and business.
