TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Oil prices surged after recent US and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military targets, pushing WTI crude up over 3.7% and Brent crude up 4%. The rise in oil prices contributed to a weakening Indian rupee, which traded around 95.33 to 95.50 per US dollar. Investors responded by shifting toward safe‑haven assets such as gold and US Treasury securities amid concerns over supply disruptions and inflationary pressure in India.
