What is the difference between Brent and WTI crude oil? expand_more
Brent crude is sourced from the North Sea and is the global benchmark used for most oil imports, including India's. WTI (West Texas Intermediate) is the US benchmark. Brent typically trades at a small premium to WTI.
How does crude oil price affect India? expand_more
India imports over 85% of its crude oil needs, so rising oil prices widen the trade deficit, weaken the rupee, and push up domestic petrol/diesel prices and inflation.
Why do oil prices affect the stock market? expand_more
Higher crude prices raise input costs for airlines, paints, and manufacturing, while benefiting oil & gas producers (ONGC, Oil India). Sharp moves also influence FII sentiment and the rupee.
