Global crude oil prices have fallen more than 40 percent from their 2026 high of $120 a barrel. However, investors in the Indian stock market hoping for a big rally based on the fall in crude oil prices are probably looking at the wrong signals. Although the impact of the global oil shock is fading, a more serious macroeconomic threat looms.

Is this a big risk?

A rapidly developing Super El Nino has led to the worst monsoon season in a decade. This threatens the 56% of India’s GDP, which is directly linked to domestic consumption, and the stock market is stuck in a limited range. According to the Economic Times, the Nifty’s returns have been stable over the past two years and the center of danger for Indian stocks has now shifted from a global supply shock to a fall in domestic demand. So it will have a big impact.

Biggest decline in monsoon in last 10 years

The meteorological statistics are very alarming. Total rainfall in the country till 26 June 2026 is 42% below the Long Term Average (LTA), marking the weakest start to the monsoon season in the last ten years. This deficit is spread over about 72% of the country.

Effect on kharif crop

According to experts, the rainfall deficit in this area in June is even higher than the previous El Nino years 2019 (-40%) and 2023 (-36%), raising the risk of the 2026 Kharif season.

Direct impact on the economy

Low rainfall is no longer just an agricultural problem, but has become a major economic crisis. The India Meteorological Department has lowered its rainfall forecast to 90% of the long-term average, which is the weakest monsoon forecast in 11 years. As the kharif crop accounts for approximately 50% of India’s total grain production and 46% of the country’s workforce is employed in agriculture, a weak monsoon has a direct impact on the economy.
