Yesterday, US crude oil prices fell 5.3 percent to $102.50 per barrel, while Brent crude fell 5.1 percent to $107.38. Oil prices may climb more in the current financial year as the Ukraine war takes a bigger shape day by day, and because India is 80% reliant on imports to cover its oil demands, we may see swings in domestic fuel costs owing to ongoing volatility of crude oil.

On Tuesday, Kotak Securities said in a research report that "Russia-Ukraine fighting has also intensified while lack of efforts to restart negotiations have fueled worries that tensions may not subside soon. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Monday that Russian forces had begun the campaign to conquer the Donbas region in Ukraine's east (Bloomberg). While geopolitical tensions have sapped risk sentiment, supply risks relating to Russia have kept a floor to commodities. Market players are trying to assess if EU will actually move towards a ban on Russian crude oil exports. As per forexlive report, French finance minister said embargo on Russian oil is in the works."

Commodities may remain volatile due to the aforementioned geopolitical tensions, but the strong US dollar may keep the commodity prices under pressure.
