US-Iran Conflict Peak Likely Over; Commodity Price Easing to Benefit Indian Manufacturers
A report by Elara Securities indicates that the peak of the US-Iran conflict is likely over, with easing commodity prices expected to improve operating margins for Indian manufacturers from the second half of fiscal year 2027. The decline in India's crude basket price, driven by increased global supply, including higher US crude exports and resumed Iranian shipments, alongside weak demand from China, has contributed to this trend. OPEC's decision to raise output further supports price stabilization amid ongoing geopolitical developments.
