Trump says Iran ceasefire is ‘on life support’ after he rejects Tehran’s response. Three crude oil tankers exited the Strait of Hormuz with trackers switched off. India maintains 60-day crude stock and no fuel rationing is planned, according to the Oil Secretary. Trump and Xi are set for talks spanning Iran, nuclear, trade and AI. Apple, Boeing, Citi, Tesla and Meta executives will join Trump’s China trip.
Oil market may not normalize until 2027, Saudi Aramco CEO. The oil market will take until 2027 to normalize if the disruption in the Strait of Hormuz persists beyond the middle of June. The oil market will lose 100 million barrels of supply every week Hormuz remains closed, the CEO said. Just two to five ships pass through Hormuz daily right now compared with 70 vessels before the war.
China’s factory inflation hits 45-month high. The producer price index (PPI) increased 2.8% from a year earlier, National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) data showed on Monday, exceeding a 1.6% rise forecast in a Reuters poll. The gauge had reversed a 41-month declining streak in March when prices rose 0.5%. NBS attributed higher factory-gate inflation to rising prices in sectors such as non-ferrous metals, oil and gas, and tech equipment.
US existing home sales inches higher. Existing home sales in the United States inched higher by 0.2% from the seven-month low in the previous month to an annualized rate of 4.02 million units in April 2026.

OMCs may face Rs 2 lakh crore under-recovery in Q1. Oil Marketing Companies are estimated to face an under-recovery of nearly Rs 2 lakh crore in Q1, according to Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. The losses are primarily attributed to elevated crude oil prices and the gap between global fuel prices and domestic retail fuel rates. The government stated that fuel supplies remain adequate and is monitoring the situation closely amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Fertilizer subsidy burden may rise sharply. The fertilizer subsidy burden for the government could rise sharply by nearly Rs 15,000 crore per month due to the surge in global energy and raw material prices. Higher input costs, especially for natural gas and imported fertilizers, are expected to increase subsidy requirements to maintain affordable prices for farmers. The development may put additional pressure on the fiscal position if elevated commodity prices persist.
India-EU relations strengthen amid FTA talks. Relations between the European Union and India have reached a new strategic level as both sides continue negotiations on the proposed Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
