As international oil prices head higher, India will have to ..(1).. itself for the economic
risks of expensive energy. Brent crude oil futures were trading at about $70 a barrel on
Friday, marking a four-year high and a price increase of close to 6% since the start of
the year. The rise in international prices has been particularly sharp given that oil had
been selling at below $45 in June. This is a rally of about 55% in a matter of just months.
Oil price ..(2).. have often been explained by changes in the supply outlook ..(3).. by the
decisions of major oil producers. Oil trading at $70 should offer some ..(4).. to traditional
oil producers like the OPEC members, which have suffered the ..(5).. of U.S. shale
producers. According to the IMF, last year, for instance, Saudi Arabia would break even
on its budget with oil at $70. The recent spurt in oil prices, however, seems to be more
the result of a weakening of the U.S. dollar than anything else. The dollar has been
gradually weakening against major global currencies since the beginning of last year.
But the trend was given a new push following comments by U.S. Treasury Secretary
Steven Mnuchin in favour of a weak-dollar policy. At Davos this week, Mr. Mnuchin
noted that a weaker dollar would be good for American trade. However, given that the

continue to boost oil prices, unless the Federal Reserve slows the projected pace of
interest rate increases.
Consumers in India are already beginning to feel the pinch as petrol and diesel prices
have hit multi-year highs. The retail selling price of both petrol and diesel in Delhi, for
instance, has risen by close to ₹3 a litre since the ..(6).. of 2018. The rise in domestic
fuel prices is on expected lines given the policy of dynamic daily pricing of petrol and
diesel ..(7).. by the Centre. But as rising oil prices put pressure on domestic consumers,
the government will have to ..(8).. from ..(9).. to subsidies to ease the pain. It should
work towards rationalising taxes on petrol and diesel to bring down retail prices. This will
help consumers without ..(10).. an undue burden on the oil marketing companies.
