قال وزير التجارة الهندي بيوش غويال، في منشور على موقع «إكس» إنه ناقش التجارة والشراكة الاقتصادية مع وزير التجارة الأميركي هوارد لوتنيك خلال غداء عمل في نيودلهي يوم الخميس، وذلك بعد أيام من إلغاء الرئيس دونالد ترمب تعريفاته الجمركية العالمية الشاملة. وفي وقت سابق من هذا الأسبوع، صرّح غويال بأن المحادثات التجارية الثنائية ستُستأنف حالما تتضح الأمور أكثر، مما يُشير إلى نية الهند السعي للتوصل إلى اتفاق مع واشنطن رغم ضعف السلطة القانونية لترمب فيما يتعلق بالتعريفات الجمركية. وعلق المبعوث الأميركي إلى الهند، سيرجيو غور، في منشور منفصل على موقع «إكس»: «غداء مثمر للغاية... مجالات تعاون عدة بين بلدينا!»، مرفقاً صورة له مع لوتنيك وغويال. وقال مسؤول في وزارة التجارة الهندية إن لوتنيك يقوم بزيارة شخصية إلى الهند. منذ صدور قرار المحكمة العليا، أعلن ترمب فرض رسوم جمركية مؤقتة بنسبة 10 في المائة على جميع الدول، بما فيها الهند، ووعد برفعها إلى 15 في المائة، وهي النسبة القصوى المسموح بها بموجب القانون الذي لجأ إليه. وقبل صدور الحكم، اتفق البلدان على إطار عمل لخفض واشنطن الرسوم الجمركية على الهند من 50 في المائة إلى 18 في المائة، وهي نسبة كانت تشمل سابقاً رسوماً عقابية بنسبة 25 في المائة على مشتريات نيودلهي من النفط الروسي.

Most stock markets rose Monday as oil prices tumbled after Donald Trump announced an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine.

Both main crude contracts sank more than one percent following the US president's declaration, even as it sparked astonishment in Kyiv, which also said Moscow had struck multiple power plants in the country.

"Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine," Trump said early Sunday on Truth Social. "Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!"

His post came after he called on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to halt attacks on Russian refineries and said it was "time for Ukraine to get a new president" who would finally settle the war.

Zelensky appeared to express surprise at the announcement, saying he was seeking further details, but added that "Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well".

Russia has yet to confirm its agreement.

While the announcement was welcomed by Ukraine's allies, Trump had come under fire after declaring a temporary easing of US sanctions on Russian diesel, which European leaders and Kyiv said would only embolden Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"The market is no longer paying full geopolitical premium on every headline, and that is probably the most useful signal in the morning price action," wrote SPI Asset Management's Stephen Innes.

"A strike matters if it threatens real barrels, shipping lanes, refining capacity or insurance costs; otherwise, the market is getting increasingly reluctant to pay up simply because the geopolitical ticker flashes red.

"The physical market remains tight enough to keep Brent above $100, but futures are refusing to treat every new escalation as the start of another straight-line inflation shock."

The drop in oil prices provided support to most Asian markets, with Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore, Wellington and Manila all up.

But Seoul and Taipei were dragged by losses in chipmakers SK hynix, Samsung and TSMC. Tokyo was closed for a holiday.

US futures were sharply higher.

Investors are also gearing up for the release of key US inflation and retail sales data, which could play a big role in the Federal Reserve's decision-making regarding interest rates. The bank is due to meet at the end of October.

Also in view is the beginning of earnings season this week, with banking giants JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America due to report.

Tech giants will follow later in the month and November, with traders keen to get an idea on the outlook for the AI sector in light of the vast sums of cash pumped into it in recent years.

North Korea Fires Multiple Ballistic Missiles, Adding to Streak of Weapons Tests

North Korea Fires Multiple Ballistic Missiles, Adding to Streak of Weapons Tests

North Korea on Monday fired multiple ballistic missiles toward its eastern waters, South Korea’s military said, adding to a recent streak of weapons demonstrations that has heightened tensions during a prolonged freeze in diplomacy.

Jang Do-young, spokesperson of South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, said missiles of various types were fired from an area around the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, where the country’s main airport has been a major launch site in recent years.

Jang said one of the missiles flew more than 900 kilometers (559 miles) before falling into the sea but didn’t comment on the flight details of the other weapons. The joint chiefs didn’t specify how many missiles it detected.

Japan’s Deputy Defense Minister Takashi Koyari said Japan detected at least two missiles launched 17 minutes apart and that the weapons landed in waters outside of its exclusive economic zone. Koyari said the first missile flew about 220 kilometers (137 miles) and the second more than 910 kilometers (565 miles), following an “irregular” flight path that he said suggested it may have been a hypersonic weapon. There were no reports of damage to aircraft or vessels.

While maintaining a hard line toward Seoul, North Korea has been ramping up weapons testing as it seeks to expand its arsenal of nuclear-capable systems, including an Oct. 3 test of what the North described as a hypersonic intermediate-range missile designed to evade missile defenses in South Korea and Japan.

North Korea has also conducted other missile tests and live-fire drills and commissioned a new warship as leader Kim Jong Un continues to flaunt his nuclear weapons program while rejecting US and South Korean offers to resume long-stalled diplomacy.

The latest launch came days after South Korea on Friday flight-tested its own domestically developed hypersonic weapon, designed to fly at least five times the speed of sound and evade missile defense systems, which President Lee Jae Myung described as critical in strengthening the South’s conventional defense capabilities. Without directly addressing the growing threat from North Korea, Lee’s office said the hypersonic weapon, once fully developed, would enhance South Korea’s ability to strike key targets by surprise in the “Korean Peninsula theater of operations.”

Jang, the South Korean military official, said the latest North Korean launches likely were intended to advance the country’s missile technologies while also serving as a possible response to South Korea’s hypersonic test.

The South’s presidential national security office called for North Korea to “immediately cease” its repeated ballistic launches, which violate UN Security Council resolutions against the North and “do not help manage the current situation on the Korean Peninsula.” Koyari said Japan lodged a protest to North Korea through their embassies in Beijing.

Tensions were further worsened after three South Korean soldiers were injured in land mine explosions last month near the heavily armed inter-Korean border. The South’s military and the US-led United Nations Command concluded the blasts were caused by devices planted by North Korea, which has denied responsibility and ridiculed the South’s demands for an apology.

Kim in recent years has halted all diplomacy and cooperation with South Korea and described the neighbor as a permanent enemy during a prolonged stalemate in larger nuclear negotiations with Washington. He has so far rebuffed US President Donald Trump’s calls to revive their diplomacy, which broke down in 2019, with his government demanding that Washington abandon its “hostile” policy toward Pyongyang and drop demands for North Korea’s denuclearization as a precondition for talks.

Opposition leaders and journalists accused police of heavy-handed tactics during weekend demonstrations, as authorities locked down New Delhi on Monday ahead of a fresh rally against the election chief.

Authorities deployed thousands of personnel across central Delhi for a third straight day, erecting heavy metal barricades and closing key metro stations before a march called by opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, reported AFP.

The protests were triggered by allegations of misconduct during a nationwide voter roll revision that critics say could benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The Election Commission of India, which oversees the voting process in the world's most populous nation, has denied wrongdoing.

But attention has increasingly shifted to the police response after a chaotic weekend in which thousands of protesters, including members of the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) movement, were detained, according to local media reports.

Most of those detained, including three top leaders of the CJP, have since been released.

Opposition figures have accused authorities of trying to suppress dissent through mass detentions.

Parliamentarian John Brittas of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) alleged he was "manhandled, dragged, assaulted" by police during Sunday's demonstrations.

"This is not merely an assault on an MP. It is an assault on democratic freedoms and the rule of law," Brittas said.

Police did not respond to questions on detentions or their actions during a news conference on Sunday.

Several journalists covering the protest said they were detained despite prominently displaying their press cards.

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said at least 16 journalists were detained during the weekend protests, calling the actions "unacceptable".

- 'Nothing to fear' -

The capital was bracing for a fresh showdown on Monday, with Gandhi, leader of the Congress party, urging supporters to join a march to the Supreme Court.

"There is nothing to fear," he said on social media on Sunday. "These cowards can do absolutely nothing to us."

Hundreds of yellow metal barricades were set up on roads leading to central Delhi, while six major metro stations remained shut.

The leaders of the CJP, which has millions of social media followers, have pledged to continue their protests until Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar steps down.

The protests have become one of the most significant political challenges of Modi's third term, drawing together opposition parties, student groups and activists angered by the voter roll revision.

The revision resulted in more than 133 million names being removed from electoral lists, according to media reports.

Critics say the measure has disproportionately affected minorities, particularly Muslims.

Election authorities say the move was intended to eliminate duplicate, deceased and fraudulent entries.
