Crude oil prices have surged, with Brent crude rising 6.6% to $98.04 per barrel amid escalating tensions in the US-Iran conflict. This spike is likely to impact the paints sector, prompting companies like Asian Paints and Berger Paints to consider price hikes to offset increased costs. However, competitive pressures may limit the extent of these increases.
