India's fuel consumption rose to 19.93 million metric tons in May, while liquefied petroleum gas consumption continued to decline, data from the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) of the oil ministry showed. Fuel consumption inched up from 19.47 million metric tons in April, but fell 6.5% from May last year. Data โalso showed โ that โ LPG consumption fell about 20% from a year earlier to 2.13 million tons. The country was facing its worst LPG supply crisis in decades due to shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz amid the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. India buys about 90% of its LPG imports - mainly used for cooking - from the Middle East. The U.S. Treasury โ Department said โthat it had imposed sanctions on a network of individuals, entities, and tankers smuggling Iranian-origin liquid petroleum gas disguised as โ Omani LPG to South and East Asia. Data showed gasoline sales were down 6.1% from April and down 3.4% from a year earlier. Meanwhile, diesel consumption was up 1.6% from a year earlier and gained 4.8% month-on-month. India's state-owned fuel retailers increased diesel prices by 2.71 rupees ($0.0283) per litre and petrol by 2.61 rupees, dealers said, the fourth hike in May to recoup โsome losses driven by higher crude costs. Naphtha sales fell 29% year-on-year, while bitumen consumption, used primarily in road construction, fell 32% from April and โ was down about 39% on an annual basis. Fuel oil usage jumped about 24% from a year earlier. India is expected to see slower growth in gasoline and diesel demand this year after a series of price hikes last month, reflecting higher oil costs triggered by the war in Iran, with early signs of stress already visible in the trucking sector.Domestic salesProductMay 2026Apr 2026Mar 2026May 2025Apr 2025Mar 2025Diesel8.738.338.738.598.268.08Petrol3.913.683.783.783.453.51LPG2.132.212.382.682.552.73Naphtha0.670.760.940.950.941.03Jet fuel0.780.770.810.780.770.80Kerosene0.030.030.040.040.030.03Fuel Oil0.630.490.650.500.490.50Bitumen0.520.581.020.860.861.09TOTAL19.9319.4721.3721.3120.2320.70

No wonder Donald Trump swore at his supposed friend and ally Benjamin Netanyahu last week. Within days of that June 1 phone call, Israel and Iran were back on track for the kind of military escalation that can no longer be explained away as a ceasefire breach, presenting a potentially fatal threat to the US presidentโs attempts to end the war.The cause of their dispute is, on the surface, simple. Israel says the April ceasefire between Tehran and Washington did not cover Lebanon, and that its troops would therefore go on fighting Hezbollah so long as the Shiite group posed a security threat to Israeliโs northern border communities. Iran says the deal did cover Lebanon, which is just another front in the same war โ and of course it is.Itโs precisely because it sees Hezbollah as a tool of Iranโs Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that Israel wanted the war in the first place. Israelis correctly blamed the IRGC for having orchestrated an entire proxy network of militias โ from the Houthis in Yemen, to Hamas in Gaza, to Hezbollah in Lebanon โ against the worldโs only Jewish state. That Iranian strategy contributed directly to the atrocities of Oct. 7, 2023.Also Read: US Army Apache helicopter crashes near Strait of Hormuz, says reportOnly such an Iran-controlled or -inspired network can explain why Hezbollah opened a second front against the Israelis on Oct. 8 of that year, long before it could be described as a response to Israeli military excesses against Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Likewise that Hezbollah would join in the fight again when the US and Israel attacked Iran, in February. And itโs why the Houthis chose this weekend to lob a missile at Israel and announce they were closing the Bab al-Mandeb Strait to Israeli shipping.These last Houthi gestures were largely symbolic. Yet the collective message Tehran seeks to deliver is clear; it is that reports of the death of its so-called Axis of Resistance have been greatly exaggerated. The latest bout of escalation has notably been directed at Israel alone, serving to drive a wedge between it and the US, as it exposed the point at which their interests divide.Tehran on Monday appeared to want to draw a line under spiraling tit-for-tat air and missile strikes, saying it would refrain from further attacks โ so long as Israel doesnโt bomb Hezbollahโs strongholds in Beirut. Netanyahu now faces a painful dilemma: Should he obey Trump by limiting his campaign against Hezbollah in the face of Iranian threats, thus granting them a level of impunity and deterrent power? Or should he ignore Trump and unleash the Israel Defense Forces on the Lebanese capital?Also Read: US carriers spent $6. 5B on fuel in April; global profit forecast is cut nearly in halfTehranโs new leaders understand this. No doubt they see it as a win-win for themselves. They know, too, that Hezbollah has recovered some of the military utility it had lost before the war after acquiring remote-controlled first-person view drones that the IDF seem ill-prepared to counter.This would present a genuine predicament to any Israeli government, because popular support for โfinishing the jobโ in Lebanon is high. Netanyahu faces anger from across the political spectrum over his apparent submission of Israeli security interests to American ones.But this isnโt any Israeli government. Not every Israeli leader would have overseen a decades-long security policy that prioritized the suppression of the Palestinian Authority over Hamas, allowing the terrorist group to succeed beyond its wildest dreams on Oct. 7. Nor would every Israeli leader have refused to draw up a political strategy to accompany the use of force that followed in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon โ despite being coerced by Trump into recent talks with its central government.As the former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak put it in an article for the liberal Haaretz newspaper on Monday, the story being sold to Israelis โ that the IDF could eradicate Hezbollah once and for all if only its hands werenโt tied โ is โa dangerous illusion.โ The history of previous, painful failed incursions into Lebanon says as much.Nor would every Israeli leader have misled Trump into believing (against the advice of the US military and intelligence community) that assassinating Iranโs supreme leader would swiftly precipitate a collapse of the Islamic Republic as a whole. Nor might they have allowed their country to become quite as diplomatically isolated as it has.It is these strategic failures, amid undoubted military success, that have left Israel with few good options. Netanyahu can hope for a rapid collapse of the regime in Tehran to resolve his dilemma, but thatโs unlikely. Alternatively, he can try to persuade the US to join in a long-term mow-the-lawn policy to keep Iran weak, amounting to a forever war. This, too, seems unlikely โ or at least not in the interests of the US, its Gulf allies or the global economy.Failing one of these minor miracles, the risk of Israel being forced to accept a peace deal that leaves an enraged and emboldened Islamic Republic in place is real. No doubt Netanyahu, like Trump, believed in February that a short, victorious Iranian war might salvage his dimming political prospects, ahead of the Israeli elections due by October. That was a bad bet.

U.S. stocks ended mostly higher on Monday, led by gains in the Nasdaq and chipmakers as investors sought bargains after Friday's sharp selloff and were relieved after Iran and Israel said they had halted attacks on each other. The halt came after an appeal from U.S. President Donald Trump that they immediately "stop shooting." The attacks over 24 hours were the most โdirect confrontation between โ Iran and โ Israel since an April ceasefire in the war. The Dow ended lower and stocks overall closed off the highs of the day. Apple shares eased late in the session even as the company unveiled a series of AI upgrades to Siri. The S&P 500 technology sector and Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index advanced, rebounding from Friday's losses that wiped out $1 trillion in market value for U.S.-listed chipmakers. Intel shares also jumped after news website the Information reported that Alphabet's Google had placed an order to manufacture more than 3 million tensor processing units in 2028. "Today looks like a day where investors are doing a little bit of bargain hunting โ off the โbig tech selloff," said Rick Meckler, partner at Cherry Lane Investments, a family investment office in New Vernon, New Jersey. "What normally happens after that is you get analysts coming in and reiterating buys." He added: "This market has โ been priced for quite a while for perfection, and these are certainly imperfect times. In that environment, you are going to see some back-and-forth, and some fear of prices having gone too far." Stocks sold off late last week after hitting a series of record highs recently. Underwhelming results from chipmaker Broadcom last week had raised concerns that the chip sector was growing too fast, while much stronger than expected jobs data for May contributed to Friday's rout, as traders priced in interest rate increases this year. According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 gained 22.07 points, or 0.30%, to end at 7,405.81 points, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 222.13 points, or 0.86%, โto 25,931.56. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 75.61 points, or 0.15%, to 50,791.17.Also Read | US stocks: Alphabet taps Intel to make three million in-house chips: Report Apple announced the Siri revamp at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference at its Cupertino, California, headquarters. Investors may be having a "sell-on-the-news" response, said Bruce Zaro, managing director at Granite Wealth Management in Plymouth, Massachusetts. "Perception has โ been for quite some time that Apple had been behind the curve as far as their AI offerings. That's why the stock widely underperformed many of the other big techs for some time until recently," he said. SpaceX's initial public offering on Friday could also prove a major test for U.S. stock markets, with investors wary of possible overexuberance. Other big tech advancers included Marvell Technology, which jumped as the chipmaker was set to join the benchmark S&P 500 before the start of trading on June 22. Eli Lilly gained after the drugmaker's trial results showed its next-generation obesity drug, retatrutide, curbed sleep apnea severity in addition to boosting weight loss and helping knee pain.
