Indian Refiners Continue West Africa Crude Buying Spree
By Tsvetana Paraskova of OilPrice.com
India's state-run refiners continue their buying spree of crude from West Africa as the Middle East crisis has sapped supply and made deliveries uncertain.
In one of the latest purchases via a tender, India's state-owned refiner Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) has acquired 2 million barrels of Nigerian crude oil from Shell, trade sources told Reuters on Thursday.
HPCL has bought 1 million barrels each of Nigerian crude grades Forcados and Bonga for its Visakh refinery in the state of Andhra Pradesh on the east coast of southern India. The refinery has the capacity to process 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude.
Earlier this week, reports emerged that HPCL acquired 2 million barrels of Okwuibome and Utapate crudes from Nigeria from commodity trader Glencore via a tender.
The Nigerian crude from Glencore will go to feed HPCL's refinery in the state of Rajasthan, HPCL Rajasthan Refin...

India's Nuclear Push Further Strains The Massive Uranium Supply Gap
Prime Minister Modi secured another major uranium supply line. During his visit to Australia this month, the two sides finalized the administrative arrangements needed to move Australian uranium to India under the previous 2014 nuclear cooperation agreement. The fuel must stay under IAEA safeguards for exclusively peaceful use.
Australia holds roughly 28% of global uranium reserves. New Delhi has eyed those reserves for years, and now the yellowcake spigot can open.
This follows the March deal with Canada's Cameco. That contract covers nearly 22 million pounds of U3O8 from 2027 through 2035 at market-related pricing, worth around C$2.6 billion.
India already buys from Russia and Uzbekistan, and holds some domestic production. The message is consistent: a country targeting 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047 cannot rely on thin indigenous resources alone.
Current operable capacity sits near 8 GW. The gap requires sustain...

Silber: Indische Importbeschränkungen drücken auf den Preis (SG)
|
|
|
Der Silberpreis hat seit Mitte Mai mehr als 30% verloren und handelt bei weniger als 60 USD je Feinunze. Das Gold/Silber-Verhältnis ist in diesem Zeitraum von 53 auf 70 gestiegen. Der wichtigste Grund für die Preisschwäche ist der Preisrückgang bei Gold wegen der Erwartung von Fed-Zinserhöhungen. Es gibt allerdings auch silberspezifische Faktoren. So sind in Indien Mitte Mai Importbeschränkungen in Kraft getreten, die 90% der vorherigen Silberimporte Indiens betreffen. Dazu erhöhte die indische Regierung die Steuer auf Importe von Gold und Silber von 6% auf 15%. Ziel dieser Maßnahmen ist es, die Handelsbilanz und damit die Währung zu entlasten. Die Silberimporte Indiens sind daraufhin laut Handelsministerium im Mai auf weniger als 50 Tonnen gesunken, was einem Rückgang um rund 90% gegenüber dem Vorjahresniveau entspricht..

India′s forex reserves rise to $672.59 billion after gold holdings jump (Times of India)
|
|
|
India's foreign exchange reserves saw a significant rebound, climbing by $963 million to $672.587 billion in the week ending June 19. This recovery was primarily driven by a substantial surge in gold reserves, which more than compensated for a dip in foreign currency assets. The overall reserves reversed a sharp decline from the previous week, signaling a positive trend....
