West Asia Energy Shock on the Ground: In Mumbai, fuel hikes after the Strait of Hormuz disruption are already feeding into higher transport costs and even vegetable prices, with CNG and petrol/diesel increases sparking calls for fare rises and more expensive trucking. India-UAE Energy Security: India and the UAE moved to deepen energy ties, including expanding UAE storage in India’s strategic reserves—aimed at buffering future supply shocks. BRICS Split Over West Asia: BRICS foreign ministers in New Delhi failed to agree on a joint declaration, with Iran and the UAE at odds; India still pushed for broader global governance reforms in a chair’s statement. Diplomacy Push: Iran’s FM told BRICS that India can play a “greater role” in de-escalation, while PM Modi reiterated India’s willingness to support peace. Markets Jolt: Global stocks slid as bond yields surged and inflation fears returned, while Tech/Connectivity: Hong Kong marked a major milestone as the Asia Link submarine cable landed.
