According to data from Vortexa, a global analysis platform for energy and freight markets, and Kpler, an energy analysis company, shipments to India last month were 9% higher than in January last year. The increase reflects an overall increase in Russian seaborne crude oil exports in January. But market participants said exports to India in February may fall due to the latest sanctions on Russian oil exports announced by the United States on January 10.

Gold price (XAU/USD) has slid to about $1,837.90 after giving a negative break of the consolidation created in a limited range of around $1,844.00 in the Asian session. The precious metal has been given amid growing geopolitical tensions between the United States and China and the launch of rockets from North Korea near Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
