Why this matters

India imports roughly 17% of its oil from Iran-adjacent Gulf states; a permanent Iran peace deal would stabilize Hormuz Strait shipping, directly reducing India's crude import risk and supporting INR stability.
What to watch
- โข Trump-Iran direct communications โ any formal US-Iran diplomatic contact would be a strong de-escalation signal for oil markets
- โข Strait of Hormuz shipping data โ vessel traffic volume and insurance surcharges are the best real-time indicators of peace deal credibility
Ripple effects
- โข Brent crude โ bearish if deal materializes; Iranian oil could return to market, adding 1-2mbpd to global supply and easing oil prices
