India's CAD to widen, inflation may rise as Brent crude nears $100

Brent crude nearing USD 100 per barrel is expected to widen India's current account deficit.

India's inflation may rise to 4.1% due to the surge in crude oil prices.

Analysts cite geopolitical risks and supply disruptions as key factors driving prices.

India's 85-90% import dependency on crude exacerbates the economic impact.
