Fed Rate Hike Bets Surge as Oil Crosses $100 — Indian Markets Brace for Fallout
CNBC·Sunday, 26 July 2026
Investors are increasingly expecting the US Federal Reserve to hike interest rates in September, after oil prices crossed $100 per barrel. US equities tumbled as markets could no longer ignore the impact of the US-Iran war on energy prices. The jump in oil costs is driving fears of renewed inflation.
Why It Matters
Higher US interest rates typically pull foreign money out of Indian markets, weakening the rupee and pushing up borrowing costs for Indian businesses and consumers. India also imports most of its oil, so $100-per-barrel crude directly hits fuel prices and inflation at home.
