Crude oil prices
Today, September 6, 2026, crude oil prices in the global market remain at high levels. However, since it is Sunday, live trading in the commodity market is closed; therefore, based on the closing rates from the last trading session (Friday evening), the global benchmark prices are as follows:
The global benchmark, Brent crude, closed at around $95.85 to $96.28 per barrel. Prices have risen recently due to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and potential disruptions to energy supplies via the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, US crude prices are hovering between approximately $91.22 and $91.48 per barrel.
Impact on India
India imports about 80–85% of its crude oil requirements from abroad. Consequently, a rise in crude oil prices has a direct impact on India's economy and the pockets of the common man. If crude oil prices remain at the high level of $95 for an extended period, India's import bill could rise. This could weaken the Indian rupee against the dollar and make everyday items more expensive due to the increased cost of transportation in the domestic market.
