इसका मतलब
The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil shipping route. Mines threaten every ship in an area and take time to clear, so freight and war-risk insurance get more expensive and a "risk premium" is added to oil prices. For big oil importers like India, costlier crude means paying the bill in more dollars, which can show up in the trade deficit, inflation and the rupee; oil-linked currencies such as CAD and NOK also move on news like this. Markets react to unconfirmed claims first, and prices can reverse once a confirmation or denial arrives. This is for understanding only, not a buy/sell signal or a prediction.
सिर्फ़ समझ के लिए, prediction नहीं। यह buy/sell सलाह नहीं है, ख़बर पढ़कर सीधे trade न करें।
