It said geopolitical tensions in West Asia intensified into a major conflict causing disruption to key oil infrastructure and energy corridors due to the closure of Strait of Hormuz. It quoted the International Energy Agency as calling it &#8220;the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market&#8221;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The report said global commodity markets came under pressure due to disruptions across crude oil, natural gas, and fertilisers. &#8220;Brent crude oil prices exhibited volatility with prices moving from $78 per barrel to $112.2 per barrel in March.&#8221; It added that aluminium prices, which were already elevated, surged further amidst supply concerns, due to smelter closures and force majeure declarations by affected parties.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The report pointed out that the conflict triggered a transmission of shocks from energy markets to financial systems. It said, &#8220;Equity markets came under selling pressures in March with the decline more pronounced in energy-importing economies, particularly in Europe and Asia.&#8221; <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>It observed that the conflict has triggered a broad-based sell-off across sectors, which led to a &#8216;massive jump in the India Volatility Index in March&#8217;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>It said, &#8220;Emerging market currencies came under pressure amidst heightened risk aversion while the US dollar strengthened on safe-haven demand. The rupee has come under renewed pressures in March amidst FPI outflows. The West Asia conflict led to the firming up of yields on dated government securities.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/business\/india-business\/upside-risk-to-prices-as-west-asia-simmers-rbi\/articleshow\/129762301.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MUMBAI: Reserve Bank of India said the outlook for prices has shifted due to upside risks, even as data shows sustained resilience of the Indian economy, and warned that a prolonged war would be detrimental to the broader global outlook.According to the State of the Economy report, there was a &#8220;drastic deterioration&#8221;
