AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoCeasefire Fallout: Trump says the U.S.-Iran ceasefire is on “life support” after rejecting Tehran’s latest proposal as “garbage,” while Iran insists its demands are “reasonable” and warns it’s ready for a “lesson-teaching” response to aggression—keeping the Strait of Hormuz effectively under pressure. Shipping & Oil Shock: With Hormuz largely closed and U.S. forces striking Iranian tankers in the Gulf of Oman, Brent pushed back above $105 and oil prices jumped again, feeding fresh supply-fear headlines. Market Hit in India: India’s rupee slid to a record low near 95.50 per dollar as crude surged; stocks wobbled with Sensex and Nifty down on oil-led inflation anxiety. Policy Moves: India cut crude oil royalty for offshore deepwater/ultra-deepwater and reduced onshore crude royalties (20% to 12.5%), while Trump floated a federal gas tax pause to blunt pump pain. Sanctions & Diplomacy: The U.S. sanctioned 12 people/entities tied to Iran-China oil trade; the UK added 12 sanctions over alleged Iranian-linked plots in Britain; and Trump heads to Beijing with low expectations for Iran progress.
