India-Israel war: Oil and LNG prices could see a notable rise if Iran opts to block the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for importing crude oil from Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and UAE. Analysts have pointed out that this could lead to increased inflation. The conflict between Iran and Israel has escalated recently, with Iran launching drone and rocket attacks on Israel, prompting Israel to respond with missile strikes. Crude oil prices have hovered around USD 90 per barrel amid the tensions. While efforts to de-escalate the situation are underway, Motilal Oswal Financial Services has warned of potential price hikes in oil and LNG if Iran takes steps to restrict the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
