The ongoing conflict in Iran is causing severe economic repercussions, highlighted by U.S. military spending soaring to $11.3 billion in the first week alone. This escalation not only intensifies military concerns but also fuels market instability, as the Indian rupee dropped to a record low of 93.75 against the U.S. dollar, and the stock market suffered losses nearing ₹10 Lakh Crore ($639 billion) in capitalization. The spike in oil prices to $120 per barrel has further exacerbated inflation fears, pressuring global markets and spawning a significant sell-off in India amid rising energy and food prices. Experts warn that these financial strains could have long-lasting effects on both the U.S. and Indian economies.
