Fall of GDP
The Economic Survey 2018 states that every $10 per barrel increase in the price of oil will reduce the GDP growth by 0.2% to 0.3% points. The survey has also stated that India’s economic growth is expected to grow between 7% and 7.5% in the fiscal year 2019. But this growth may be hampered because of the rising prices of oil.
Fall in stock market
The rising prices of oil have also impacted the stock market. Jayanti Das, an economist, told BE, “The price hike of petrol and diesel causes inflation which influences RBI to increase the interest rates. This rising interest rate causes drop in indices and therefore the share prices slip.” She also clarified that small changes in the prices of oil do not significantly hamper the stock market. But the present condition, where oil prices are showing drastic upward changes, is surely going to impact the share market.
