Donald Trump said that I don’t know if you heard or not, but today we have ended the war with Iran and they have agreed to never have nuclear weapons. This was our biggest priority. Hariprasad K, research analyst and founder of Livelong Wealth. Said that the biggest relief for India was the huge fall in crude oil prices. Oil prices have fallen significantly due to supply disruptions and reduced risks related to the Strait of Hormuz. India gets direct benefit from low crude oil prices. This reduces import costs, reduces pressure on inflation and improves the economic condition of the country.
