The best news from Asia and the Pacific on energy

AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

US-China Summit Kickoff: Donald Trump landed in Beijing for talks with Xi on Iran, trade and Taiwan, with tech CEOs (including Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Tesla’s Elon Musk) in tow as the agenda turns on “opening up” China and managing the Hormuz squeeze. Energy Shock Watch: RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra warned India may have to raise petrol/diesel if West Asia conflict keeps crude elevated, while inflation data showed April retail inflation at 3.48% (food up, precious metals driving personal care). Route Risk, Not Just Price: Markets are increasingly treating Strait of Hormuz disruption as a procurement problem—contracts and geography are being stress-tested as inventories drain fast. Regional Spillover: Russia and Central Asia lifted oil exports 17% in March to 6.6m bpd (OPEC), but Gulf stocks stayed cautious as ceasefire hopes compete with the next diplomatic move. Clean Mobility Signals: India’s EV supply chain kept moving—Musashi India will start delivering side-mounted e-axle powertrains for Kinetic Green’s next-gen two-wheelers from Dec 2026.
