When distant waters grow troubled, the tremors reach every shore. On a Monday morning in Mumbai, Indian equity markets fell as U.S.-Iran military exchanges and claims of a closed Strait of Hormuz sent crude oil prices surging past four percent — a reminder that India's economic fate remains tethered to the world's most contested shipping lanes.
