New Delhi: Crude oil prices are expected to average $105 per barrel in June and July, assuming the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed in the near term and global oil inventories continue to decline, according to the latest outlook from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).International benchmark Brent was trading around $93 per barrel on Wednesday despite an exchange of strikes between the US and Iran. Brent has remained highly volatile this week as the US, Israel and Iran traded attacks, but prices have stayed below $100 per barrel. Markets are betting that both the US and Iran want to avoid a return to full-scale war and are using limited strikes largely for signalling during the truce period while negotiating a permanent deal, an industry executive said.Also read: Iran war fallout: Fuel use drops 6.5% in May; experts see warning signs for economySignificant demand destruction globally is also limiting the rise in prices despite what industry executives describe as the worst energy supply squeeze ever. The EIA has forecast a decline in global oil demand of 1.1 million barrels per day in 2026, compared with the increase of 1.2 million barrels per day it had projected in February.A sharp decline in China's crude imports, large releases from strategic reserves and strong exports from the US are all contributing to lower-than-expected oil prices. Rapid adoption of electric vehicles in China has led to substantial demand destruction, and the country, which holds record strategic reserves, can manage with lower oil imports, another industry executive said.Current prices, while significantly below Brent's spot average of $117 per barrel in May, remain well above the pre-war average of $71 per barrel in February. Markets are also unlikely to return quickly to pre-war price levels even if a deal is reached between the warring nations."Once flows through the Strait of Hormuz incrementally resume, allowing producers to gradually restore shut-in production, we expect prices to fall to an average of $79/b in 2027," the EIA said.High oil prices and supply constraints are expected to continue putting pressure on governments and consumers across the globe. In India, refined product consumption fell 6.5% year-on-year in May. The government is seeking to contain its ballooning subsidy bill through a combination of price hikes and a reduction in the number of subsidised liquefied petroleum gas cylinders provided to poor households.

India said the targeting of commercial shipping in West Asia must end, and free and unimpeded navigation through the international waterways should be restored.

India summoned a US diplomat to protest the attack on the commercial vessel Settebello off Oman's coast, which carried 24 Indian crew. While 21 have been rescued, three remain missing. New Delhi is urging de-escalation and the restoration of safe navigation in international waters following the incident.

A significant internal rebellion is shaking the Trinamool Congress, with 19 MPs reportedly forming a separate faction, pushing the party towards a potential split. Rebel leader Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar stated they will support the NDA but not join the BJP. MP Mahua Moitra, however, dismissed the rebellion, calling the MPs 'traitors' and citing a court verdict on party splits.

Her remarks come amid growing unrest in the party, with rebel MPs questioning Mamata Banerjeeโs leadership and the future direction of the Trinamool Congress.The statement has intensified the political storm in West Bengal and added fresh pressure on the TMC at a time when internal dissent, defections and opposition attacks are already dominating the political narrative. n18oc_indian18oc_politicsn18oc_breaking-newsNews18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube

WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump is trying to project political strength as he turns 80, but setbacks at home and abroad are exposing the limits of his power and pushing him toward the kind of lame-duck status he has told aides he is determined to avoid. Nearly 17 months into his second term, the courts are pushing back, his effort to wind down the Iran war has stalled, and his approval ratings have weakened. Some fellow Republicans in Congress are also defying him - though his hold on core supporters remains firm. Still, Trump has shown he retains significant clout: he has helped oust Republican incumbents in primary races and has pressed ahead with aggressive trade policies. He has also pursued high-profile construction projects in Washington in one of the most ambitious building drives by a U.S. president in years.Also Read| Trump's toughest immigration opponent isn't the Democrats. It's the courts This dynamic is unfolding just months ahead of November's midterm elections as Trump's Republican Party scrambles to maintain control โof Congress. The loss of โ one or both โ chambers to opposition Democrats could hasten his slide into a lame-duck phase, historically when a president - if barred from running again - sees influence waning and domestic priorities stymied. The White House is trying to prevent that narrative from taking hold prematurely and has been forceful about letting Republican lawmakers know Trump can still make or break them, according to a presidential adviser, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal matters. But with some Republicans already showing greater willingness to stand up to Trump, the adviser acknowledged it was inevitable that his authority would begin to diminish. "He'll naturally start to lose leverage, especially after the midterms," the adviser said. Trump has privately told staffers that one of the reasons he has mused about a third term, which is forbidden by the Constitution, is to ward off any public perception that he might become a lame duck and slip into "irrelevance," according to a former senior aide who spoke on condition of anonymity. White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales said, "President Trump is the unequivocal leader of the Republican Party who is committed to maintaining Republicans' majority in โ Congress." HEALTH UNDER โSCRUTINY The questions about Trump's political standing come as scrutiny of his personal stamina is intensifying. A Reuters/Ipsos poll in February found 61 percent of Americans thought Trump had become more erratic with age, and another survey in April showed a majority concerned about his temperament and mental sharpness. Trump, who is the oldest president sworn into office, will celebrate his 80th birthday on Sunday โ by hosting a UFC cage fight on the White House lawn. After a flurry of near-weekly travel early in the year, Trump has largely stayed at the White House or his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida since he launched the Iran war on February 28. He has made only a handful of domestic trips since then. His public daily schedule consists largely of "executive time" and policy meetings held behind closed doors. He is often more visible on his Truth Social platform, where he posts throughout the day and late into the night. Trump declared himself in excellent condition following a routine checkup last month after he was seen at public events with swollen ankles, which his doctors have described as only a "slight" issue, and with bruising on his hands. A senior White House official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said Trump was keen to avoid comparisons to Joe Biden, his Democratic predecessor who faced questions about his fitness for the job before leaving office at 82. Even so, Trump has occasionally been caught on camera appearing to doze off at events, including at an NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden on Monday. As clips of him โwith his eyes shut have gone viral, Trump aides have fired back on social media, claiming he was blinking or listening intently. White House spokesman Davis Ingle described Trump as "the sharpest and most accessible president in American history." A WEAKENING HAND Analysts agree that even if Trump's political influence wanes, he can still rely on executive orders to shape policy and act more freely on the world stage, where presidents have greater leeway to take action unilaterally. Still, โ there have been signs of Trump's weakening hand. While he is not likely to see a full-scale Republican revolt, some defeated incumbents, who remain in office until January, have already begun opposing parts of his agenda and have also signalled pushback against his cabinet nominations. In the past two weeks, small Republican factions in the Senate and House of Representatives have joined with Democrats to rebuke him over the Iran war, reject $1 billion in funding tied to his ballroom and force a retreat on his $1.8 billion fund to pay political allies claiming they were victims of "weaponized" prosecution. As Trump has struggled to achieve policy objectives, he has become more preoccupied with his construction projects. He is increasingly touting not only the ornate ballroom under construction but also refurbishment of the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall and a proposed triumphal arch. One way Trump is likely to continue exercising power is in the selection of Republicans' 2028 presidential nominee, seen as a contest between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. And for the rest of Trump's term, the world should expect the unexpected from a president who prides himself on unpredictability, said Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian at Rice University. "His helter-skelter style of leadership, that's not going anywhere, whether the Democrats take Congress or not," he said.

Shares of Aegis Vopak Terminals rallied as much as 6% to their dayโs high of Rs 203 on the BSE on Wednesday after international brokerage firm Jefferies upgraded the stock to Buy and assigned a fresh target price of Rs 240, implying an upside of 25% from current market levels. While the brokerage has cut its target price from Rs 255, it believes the recent correction in Aegis Vopak Terminals (AVTL) has been excessive. The stock has fallen 16% since Middle East tensions escalated, compared with an 8% decline in the Nifty. While near-term risks persist, the brokerage expects LPG import volumes to normalise once geopolitical tensions ease.Jefferies said Aegis remains on track with its expansion plans, with management reiterating an aggregate capex target of $5 billion by FY30 and $1.2 billion by FY27. The company currently operates 1.7 million cubic metres of liquid storage capacity and 225,800 MT of LPG capacity across six ports and aims to expand its presence to 12 ports by 2030. Capacity additions at JNPT and Kandla ports are progressing as planned and are expected to increase liquid storage capacity by 25% and LPG capacity by 34%, respectively. Management said capacity expansion is being aligned with demand growth. The company is also expanding into ammonia storage, with a 36,000 MT facility under development at Pipavav port. Additionally, the Kandla-Gorakhpur pipeline is expected to be commissioned by September 2026, which could support higher LPG terminal throughput.โWe estimate 4.7% CAGR in LPG demand over FY26-30E, driving 5.3% CAGR in imports. We believe AVTL is also well-placed to capture storage-led growth as the government plans to build an LPG storage reserve to cover 30 days of demand,โ the brokerage said in a note. Jefferies has lowered its FY27 EBITDA estimate for Aegis Vopak Terminals (AVTL) by 22% to factor in the March 2026 quarter miss and the impact of Middle East tensions. However, it has largely retained its FY28 estimates, assuming geopolitical tensions ease over time.The brokerage has cut its target price to Rs 240 from Rs 255 earlier. The valuation is based on 22x March 2028 estimated EV/EBITDA, compared with 18x for JSW Infrastructure. Jefferies expects AVTL to deliver a 33% EBITDA CAGR between FY28 and FY30, versus 21% for JSW Infrastructure, while achieving broadly similar return ratios by FY28.Key downside risks highlighted by the brokerage include delays in the Kandla-Gorakhpur pipeline project, weaker-than-expected LPG imports or market share gains, and value-dilutive capacity expansion plans.Aegis Vopak shares are down 20% since the beginning of the year.
