Brent Surges Past $90 Amid US‑Iran Tensions, Impacting India

Brent Surges Past $90 Amid US‑Iran Tensions, Impacting India

Oil prices went up a lot because the United States hit Iran with missiles.

This made people worry that oil could be hard to get from the Middle East.

The price of oil went over $90 for each barrel, which is a lot of money.

India, which buys a lot of oil, could have to pay more money and might see higher prices for things like food and gas.

The price jump also made the cost of living in India go up a bit.

Even though the price went up, ships are still moving through the main oil routes, but not as many as before the war.

The United States might also put new taxes on oil from Russia, which could change how India buys oil.

All of this could make it harder for India to keep its economy stable.

The news shows how events in one part of the world can affect people far away.
