Why it matters
For India, any fresh rise in Middle East tension can matter through crude oil prices, shipping risk and risk sentiment. India is exposed because higher oil usually raises import costs, can pressure the rupee and can weigh on sectors that use a lot of fuel.
Global impact
Global markets usually treat renewed Middle East tension as a risk-off signal. Oil-linked shares may react first, while broader equities can soften if traders expect higher energy costs or wider conflict.
