International fuel prices – April 17, 2026

Global benchmark crude oil prices remain under pressure and extremely volatile due to a US naval blockade of Iranian ports and active fears of supply disruptions in West Asia.

• Brent crude oil (global): Price is around $98.21 to $99.39 per barrel
• WTI Crude Oil (US): Is around $92.74 to $93.19 per barrel
• Indian Basket: Last recorded at $110.52 a barrel
• Performance: While prices briefly fell following the ceasefire in early April, the subsequent breakdown of negotiations and the enforcement of the naval blockade ensured that a strong risk premium remained active in the market

Key market drivers

Diplomatic efforts

• Markets are digging through updates on ongoing US-Iran negotiations. While a comprehensive agreement remains complex, the focus has shifted to securing extensions of temporary pauses in conflict to prevent regional escalations

Supply dynamics

• Supporting prices on the floor, U.S. crude oil inventories unexpectedly fell by 9.13 million barrels recently, well beating analysts’ expectations for a minor inventory build

Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz

• Physical trade routes through the Persian Gulf remain restricted due to active naval blockades, keeping the risk premium high and prices well above pre-war levels

Impact and outlook for India

Inflation risks

• Every $10 increase in crude oil prices increases India’s import costs by about $13-14 billion, putting downward pressure on the rupee

Energy security

• India has diversified its crude oil sourcing across more than 40 countries to maintain stable supplies despite disruptions in West Asia

Outlook on domestic prices

• Stability in retail prices is largely supported by state-owned oil companies such as IOCL and BPCL, which have kept interest rates stable to control domestic inflation despite international crude fluctuations

What this means for consumers

• Normal fuel: Petrol and diesel remain stable at government pumps for the time being
• Commercial LPG: Restaurants and small businesses pay ₹2,078.50 per 19 kg cylinder in Delhi
• ATF: Scheduled airlines pay around Rs 1.04 lakh per KL; Charter rates remain at record levels
• Premium Petrol: XP100 users pay ₹160 per liter in Delhi
• Peace Talks Outlook: Ongoing diplomatic efforts and supply dynamics will determine future price direction
