India Weighs Russian Crude as Oil Reaches $111
Strait of Hormuz disruption and potential US tariffs complicate India’s November crude-buying decisions
Executive Summary
Oil reached $111 per barrel on October 21 as Houthi attacks and tanker strikes disrupted Middle East supply, while Persian Gulf exporters struggled to restore flows through the Strait of Hormuz. India’s crude purchases are projected to approach a record 5.4 million barrels a day, but Russian Urals cost about $133 per barrel and a new US law permits tariffs of up to 100% on major buyers of Russian energy. November buying decisions, with talks typically starting in the final week of October, will test whether refiners reduce Russian purchases or maintain them despite potential tariff risks to exports and trade relations with the United States.

Core Causal Chain
Origin
On October 21, oil reached $111 per barrel amid Middle East supply disruption.
Propagation
Houthi attacks on Riyadh’s airport and tanker strikes in the Strait of Hormuz pushed prices higher, while Persian Gulf exporters were struggling to restore flows through the strait. The squeeze is significant for India, whose crude purchases are projected to approach a record 5.4 million barrels a day, and whose refiners have been seeking alternatives to Russian cargoes.
Impact
Replacing Russian supplies is difficult: Russian Urals delivered to India cost about $133 a barrel, while Middle Eastern grades were several dollars more expensive. At the same time, a new US law allows tariffs of up to 100% on major buyers of Russian energy, leaving India to weigh energy costs against the risk to its exports and trade relations with the United States.
Checkpoint
Watch India’s November crude-buying decisions as talks typically begin in the final week of October, testing whether refiners cut Russian purchases or maintain them despite the potential US tariffs.
Findings, Implications, Risks
Findings
- On October 21, oil reached $111 per barrel amid Middle East supply disruption.
- Houthi attacks on Riyadh’s airport and tanker strikes in the Strait of Hormuz pushed prices higher as Persian Gulf exporters struggled to restore flows through the strait.
- India’s crude purchases are projected to approach a record 5.4 million barrels a day, while refiners seek alternatives to Russian cargoes.
Implications
- Tight supply through the Strait of Hormuz is adding pressure to oil prices.
- Replacing Russian supplies may raise India’s costs: Russian Urals delivered to India cost about $133 a barrel, while Middle Eastern grades were several dollars more expensive.
- A US law allowing tariffs of up to 100% on major buyers of Russian energy puts India’s export and trade ties with the United States in the balance as it weighs crude costs.
Risks
- Continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could constrain Persian Gulf supply and sustain price pressure.
- India may face higher crude costs if refiners reduce Russian purchases and shift to more expensive Middle Eastern grades.
- India’s November buying decisions, with talks typically starting in the final week of October, will test whether refiners cut Russian purchases or maintain them despite potential US tariffs.
What to Watch Tomorrow
- Track Brent crude prices to see whether oil remains above $108 after reaching $111 per barrel.
- Monitor Strait of Hormuz tanker traffic and new attack reports for signs of worsening supply disruption.
- Watch S&P 500 futures and the French 10-year yield for further risk-off pressure.
