Brent Crude Rises Amid Middle East Tensions; Indian Fuel Prices Remain Stable
Brent crude oil prices have risen above $101 a barrel amid ongoing US-Iran tensions and increased attacks on Middle Eastern shipping routes. Despite global price volatility, Indian retail petrol and diesel prices have remained largely stable, reflecting state-run Oil Marketing Companies' efforts to shield consumers. Analysts warn that continued conflict could push prices higher, while US President Donald Trump anticipates the conflict ending after the November midterm elections, potentially lowering oil prices. City-wise fuel rates in India show minor daily fluctuations.
