$100 Oil Returns: Nifty's Past Shows Quick Recovery After Short-Term Shocks

• Crude oil surpasses $100 per barrel, a level not seen in four years, raising concerns for Indian investors.
• During the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war, Brent crude surged from $68 to $139, causing Nifty to drop 8%.
• Despite crude remaining elevated at $115, Nifty quickly recovered its losses by March 31, 2022.
• Over the long term, Nifty showed significant growth, reaching 22,300 by March 2025 (42% up), even as crude returned to pre-war levels.
• History suggests crude spikes cause short-term volatility, but markets tend to recover if economic activity and supply fears stabilize.
