US-Iran peace deal eases Strait of Hormuz supply risk.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Apollo Tyres share price climbed approximately 5.68% to Rs 440.10 on 17 June 2026 as Brent crude oil slid below the psychologically important $80 per barrel mark, continuing a sharp decline that began after the US-Iran peace deal framework was announced. The fall in crude prices is a direct positive for tyre manufacturers like Apollo Tyres, which rely on crude-linked raw materials including synthetic rubber, carbon black and petrochemical compounds for approximately 60-65% of total production costs. Apollo Tyres share price touched an intraday high of Rs 443.90 against a previous close of Rs 416.45. Oil marketing companies also rallied, with BPCL (Bharat Petroleum Corporation) gaining approximately 2% to Rs 318.30. CEAT rose 1% to Rs 3,460 and Balkrishna Industries gained 1.1% to Rs 2,256. The Nifty Auto and Nifty Energy indices also registered gains on the crude fall, while upstream producers ONGC and Oil India declined as lower crude prices compress their realisations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/user\/log-in?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=apollo-tyres-share-price-bpcl-crude-below-80\"><strong>Click Here &#8211; Get Free Investment Predictions<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/apollo-tyres-share-price-bpcl-crude-below-80\/#Why_Brent_Crude_Fell_Below_80_The_US-Iran_Peace_Deal_Context\" title=\"Why Brent Crude Fell Below $80: The US-Iran Peace Deal Context\">Why Brent Crude Fell Below $80: The US-Iran Peace Deal Context<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/apollo-tyres-share-price-bpcl-crude-below-80\/#How_Crude_Price_Fall_Benefits_Apollo_Tyres_Share_Price\" title=\"How Crude Price Fall Benefits Apollo Tyres Share Price\">How Crude Price Fall Benefits Apollo Tyres Share Price<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/apollo-tyres-share-price-bpcl-crude-below-80\/#How_the_Crude_Fall_Benefits_BPCL_and_Oil_Marketing_Companies\" title=\"How the Crude Fall Benefits BPCL and Oil Marketing Companies\">How the Crude Fall Benefits BPCL and Oil Marketing Companies<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/apollo-tyres-share-price-bpcl-crude-below-80\/#Risks_to_the_Crude-Sensitive_Stocks_Rally\" title=\"Risks to the Crude-Sensitive Stocks Rally\">Risks to the Crude-Sensitive Stocks Rally<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs-2\/apollo-tyres-share-price-bpcl-crude-below-80\/#1_US-Iran_Peace_Deal_May_Not_Hold\" title=\"1.

When the conflict intensified earlier in 2026, crude spiked above $90 per barrel, directly weighing on Apollo Tyres share price, BPCL and other crude-sensitive counters. The preliminary US-Iran peace agreement, announced in mid-June 2026, reversed this dynamic by signalling the reopening of Strait of Hormuz to unrestricted tanker traffic, which flooded the market with expectations of additional supply. Brent crude slid from above $90 to below $80 in quick succession, triggering a rally in crude-sensitive stocks.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background: #000000;\">\n<th style=\"color: #ffffff;

When Brent crude falls, the synthetic rubber price typically follows with a lag of one to three months. A sustained period of lower crude below $80 would allow Apollo Tyres share price to re-rate as gross margins expand meaningfully as the lower input costs flow through to production. Apollo Tyres&#8217; India and European (Netherlands, Hungary) plants both benefit from this input cost reduction, though the European business has additional exposure to currency and local demand risks.<\/p>\n<p>Apollo Tyres share price at Rs 440.10 is recovering from a 52-week low of Rs 365.30 but remains 18.6% below its 52-week high of Rs 540.50. The crude-driven rally represents a structural reversal. Apollo Tyres share price had de-rated sharply through the Iranian conflict period due to input cost inflation. If Brent sustains below $80, Apollo Tyres&#8217; Q1 FY27 and Q2 FY27 results could show meaningful margin expansion, which would provide a fundamental catalyst for further Apollo Tyres share price recovery.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_the_Crude_Fall_Benefits_BPCL_and_Oil_Marketing_Companies\"><\/span><strong>How the Crude Fall Benefits BPCL and Oil Marketing Companies<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>BPCL share price gained approximately 2% to Rs 318.30 on 17 June 2026, reflecting the improvement in gross marketing margins that accompanies a crude price decline. Oil marketing companies buy crude from the international market and sell refined fuels domestically. When crude falls faster than domestic retail prices are adjusted, OMCs capture higher margins. The risk of under-recoveries, where OMCs sell below their cost of production, also diminishes when crude is below $80, as the government-regulated retail price structure becomes sustainable without subsidy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Use the Univest Screener to compare Apollo Tyres share price with BPCL and tyre sector peers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risks_to_the_Crude-Sensitive_Stocks_Rally\"><\/span><strong>Risks to the Crude-Sensitive Stocks Rally<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_US-Iran_Peace_Deal_May_Not_Hold\"><\/span><strong>1.

Lower crude prices directly reduce Apollo Tyres&#8217; raw material costs, as synthetic rubber and petrochemical-based compounds used in tyre manufacturing are derived from crude oil. Falling input costs expand gross margins, improving profitability for tyre manufacturers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_has_Brent_crude_fallen_below_80_per_barrel_on_17_June_2026\"><\/span><strong>Why has Brent crude fallen below $80 per barrel on 17 June 2026?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Brent crude has slid below $80 per barrel on 17 June 2026, continuing a decline that began after the US-Iran peace deal framework was announced. The preliminary peace agreement eased geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and raised expectations that the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil supply corridor, would reopen to unrestricted tanker traffic. This removed a major supply constraint that had been driving crude prices above $90 per barrel since early 2026.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Apollo_Tyres_share_price_today_on_17_June_2026\"><\/span><strong>What is Apollo Tyres share price today on 17 June 2026?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Apollo Tyres share price (NSE: APOLLOTYRE) is Rs 440.10 as of 17 June 2026, touching an intraday high of Rs 443.90 from a previous close of Rs 416.45. The 52-week high is Rs 540.50 and the 52-week low is Rs 365.30. Apollo Tyres manufactures tyres for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and two-wheelers, with manufacturing plants in India, the Netherlands and Hungary.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_lower_crude_oil_price_benefit_Apollo_Tyres\"><\/span><strong>How does lower crude oil price benefit Apollo Tyres?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Apollo Tyres uses synthetic rubber, carbon black and other petrochemical derivatives as key raw materials. These are directly linked to crude oil prices through the petrochemical chain. When Brent crude falls, the cost of these inputs declines after a 1-3 month lag, expanding Apollo Tyres&#8217; gross margins. This margin expansion is particularly significant given that raw materials account for approximately 60-65% of Apollo Tyres&#8217; total cost of production.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_lower_crude_oil_price_affect_BPCL_and_other_oil_marketing_companies\"><\/span><strong>How does lower crude oil price affect BPCL and other oil marketing companies?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> BPCL and other oil marketing companies (OMCs) benefit from lower crude in two ways. First, their gross marketing margins on petrol and diesel improve as crude input costs fall faster than retail prices are adjusted. Second, the risk of under-recoveries, where OMCs sell fuel below cost due to government pricing constraints, reduces significantly. BPCL share price gained approximately 2% to Rs 318.30 on 17 June 2026 as the crude fall below $80 per barrel improved near-term margin outlook.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_other_crude-sensitive_stocks_are_gaining_today\"><\/span><strong>Which other crude-sensitive stocks are gaining today?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Besides Apollo Tyres and BPCL, other crude-sensitive stocks rising on 17 June 2026 include CEAT Limited (up ~1% to Rs 3,460), MRF (up ~0.5% to Rs 129,160), and Balkrishna Industries (up ~1.1% to Rs 2,256). Paint companies that use crude-linked raw materials are also benefiting. Upstream oil producers such as ONGC and Oil India face headwinds as lower crude prices compress their realisations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_Brent_crude_fall_sustainable_below_80\"><\/span><strong>Is the Brent crude fall sustainable below $80?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> The sustainability of Brent crude below $80 depends on the pace and completeness of the US-Iran peace deal implementation, particularly the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. If the peace deal holds and OPEC production policy remains unchanged, crude could stay below $80 through Q2 2026. However, geopolitical risks remain. If the peace deal stalls or OPEC cuts production to support prices, crude could recover, which would reverse the gains in Apollo Tyres, BPCL and other crude-sensitive stocks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_investors_watch_for_Apollo_Tyres_share_price\"><\/span><strong>What should investors watch for Apollo Tyres share price?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Investors tracking Apollo Tyres share price and crude-sensitive peers should monitor Brent crude direction, the company&#8217;s quarterly raw material cost trajectory and commentary on demand trends in the passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle segments in India and Europe. Apollo Tyres has manufacturing exposure in Europe (Netherlands, Hungary) that adds currency and demand risk. The stock has recovered from its 52-week low of Rs 365.30 but remains 19% below its 52-week high of Rs 540.50.
