Global oil markets
US maintains economic resilience through tech sector strength despite geopolitical risks, while India faces vulnerability to oil price shocks and Middle East instability. Divergence suggests US decoupling from geopolitical pressures through AI-driven growth, whereas emerging markets like India remain exposed to commodity price volatility and regional conflicts.
