🌍 India / Asia Angle

An Iran ceasefire could lower crude oil prices, directly reducing import costs for India and other Asian oil-dependent economies, potentially easing inflation and giving regional central banks more room to cut rates.

🌊 Ripple Effects

▸US Treasuries — yields may soften as rate-cut odds rise, lifting bond prices
▸Crude oil — ceasefire reduces Middle East supply-risk premium, pressuring prices lower
▸Emerging market currencies (INR, IDR, PHP) — may strengthen if risk appetite improves and oil falls
