Crude oil prices increased by 1.33% to ₹5,705, driven by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. U.S. naval forces are building up near Iran, raising concerns over potential supply disruptions. Additionally, a severe winter storm in the U.S. has curtailed nearly 15% of national oil output, adding to the upward pressure on prices.
However, gains are moderated by the resumption of Kazakh crude exports and the upcoming OPEC+ meeting, where output levels are expected to remain unchanged.
