India imports oil from 40 countries to beat market volatility

Sushma Ramachandran The oil shock that rattled global markets at the start of the West Asian conflict had eased after the U.S. and Iran signed an agreement in June.

Fresh hostilities erupted last week between the U.S. and Iran, bringing vessel movement through the Strait to a virtual sta...

With Hormuz opening, oil prices set to soften

Sushma Ramachandran The opening of the Strait of Hormuz, even on a limited basis, has had a moderating effect on global oil markets. This has been bolstered by reports of dissensions within the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, as Iraq has hinted it could leave the cartel.
