Why it matters
For India, the main channel is through crude oil and risk sentiment. Any rise in Middle East tension can lift shipping and energy costs, which can weigh on transport, aviation and other fuel-heavy sectors. It can also add pressure to the rupee if oil prices firm.
Global impact
Global markets may watch this as another sign of instability around the Red Sea and the wider Middle East. Such events often support crude prices and can hurt risk appetite across emerging markets.
