CRUDE OIL (1 BBL)

More expensive oil will lead to a widening trade deficit for India, which is a net importer of oil. “Due to India’s heavy reliance on imported oil and gas, the impact of rising world oil prices has significantly increased the oil import bill. This is the key factor that is driving the deterioration in India’s trade position, with July’s trade deficit hitting a five-year high,” said Chief Economist Rajiv Biswas. Imports grew at a faster pace than exports over 2017 and 2018, he noted.
