Washington's Renewed Russian Oil Sanctions Waiver Will Help Their Shared Indian Partner
Authored by Andrew Korybko,
Both benefit from this since the US wants to avoid India sliding into turmoil amidst the global energy crisis and possibly offsetting its envisaged role as a counterweight of sorts to China while more energy revenue from India preemptively averts Russia's potentially disproportionate dependence on China.
The Treasury Department renewed the US' Russian oil sanctions waiver on Friday two days after Secretary Scott Bessent said that this wouldn't happen.
It remains unclear what exactly accounts for this flip-flop, but it's possible that Trump 2.0 concluded that a deal with Iran might not be reached as soon as some optimists expected, so it's better to keep Russian oil on the global market for another month to maintain global economic stability. Russia and the US' shared Indian partner gains the most from this.

India's Central Bank Tells Oil Refiners To Stop Buying Dollars On Spot Market
By Julianne Geiger of OilPrice.com
India's central bank has told state-run oil refiners to stop buying dollars in the spot market and instead use a government-backed credit line.
That matters because oil is priced in dollars, and refiners are some of the biggest buyers of dollars in the country. When they all go into the market at once to pay for crude, it puts direct pressure on the rupee. That pressure has been building for weeks.
The Reserve Bank of India is now stepping in to manage the demand.
State refiners, including Indian Oil Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, and Bharat Petroleum Corporation, have been asked to draw dollars through a special credit facility routed via State Bank of India.
