India flags impact on ties, energy markets from US law on Russian oil imports

SUMMARY
India expressed concerns over a proposed US law targeting buyers of Russian oil, warning it could strain India-US relations and disrupt global energy markets. India, a major buyer of discounted Russian crude since the Ukraine war, relies on these imports to meet its growing energy needs and control inflation. The US legislation aims to tighten sanctions on Russian oil revenue. New Delhi argued such measures could raise global oil prices, hurt developing nations, and undermine India's energy security and sovereignty in choosing trade partners.

SUMMARY
The Lahore High Court dismissed a petition filed by cricketer Umar Rizwan challenging disciplinary actions or selection-related matters by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

NSE IPO GMP today price: What latest grey market premium signals about listing gains

SUMMARY
**NSE IPO GMP Today:**

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) IPO remains one of the most anticipated offerings in Indian markets, though it hasn't officially filed for an IPO yet. Currently, grey market premium (GMP) discussions are speculative. GMP reflects unofficial demand before listing—a high GMP signals strong investor interest and potential listing gains. Historically, NSE's massive profitability and monopoly position generate buzz. Investors should note GMP is unreliable and unregulated. Actual listing gains depend on SEBI approval, pricing, and market conditions at launch.

Video: US forces take out floating refuelling station allegedly tied to drug trade

SUMMARY
The US Coast Guard and Navy intercepted and destroyed a floating refueling station in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, believed to be linked to drug trafficking operations. The makeshift platform was allegedly used by narco-traffickers to refuel semi-submersible vessels and speedboats transporting illegal drugs, primarily cocaine, from South America toward the US. Military forces dismantled the station to disrupt cartel supply chains. This operation is part of broader US counter-narcotics efforts aimed at curbing drug flow into the country.
