Oil Prices May Dip; India Lowers Strait of Hormuz Exposure
Experts think the price of oil might go down to under $60 by the end of the year.
This is because there's more oil than people need.
Recently, oil prices went up to $80 because of problems between Iran and Israel.
India is buying less oil from a risky area called the Strait of Hormuz.
Also, people are starting to use more clean energy, which means they might not need as much oil in the future.
India also wants to use lots of clean energy, but it may take a little longer to reach its goals.
S&P Global predicts crude oil prices to fall below $60 by year-end.
Tensions between Iran and Israel have spiked crude prices to $80 a barrel.
India has reduced its exposure to the Strait of Hormuz due to Russian crude imports.
Global oil demand is projected to decline due to alternative energy sources.
India aims to achieve 500 GW renewable energy capacity, with a revised target date.
