AI insight
AI-generatedThe Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz disruption have caused a global oil supply loss of 12.8 million bpd, directly impacting crude oil prices and refining margins. India's inventory drawdown reflects import shortfall, increasing spot buying risk and potential pass-through to retail fuel prices. Refiners globally face input cost pressure; net importers like India face FX and inflation pass-through. The mechanism is supply_shortage via logistics (Strait of Hormuz closure).
