Trump set to address UN amid Iran conflict, global economic turmoil
US President Donald Trump addresses the UN General Assembly on Tuesday. His war with Iran has shaken the global economy, and Brent crude is near $100 a barrel, up from about $70 before the war. Costlier oil means higher fuel, freight and import bills for Indian businesses. So watch freight costs, plan cash flow, and avoid locking long-term price contracts blindly.
