Oil soars 25%, gold drops as Iran war jolts global commodity markets
SINGAPORE, March 9 (Reuters): Oil soars surged around 25% on Monday to their highest since mid-2022, with Brent on track for a record one-day gain, while gold fell 2% as an escalating Iran war squeezed world energy supplies, boosted the dollar and dampened hopes of interest-rate cuts. Agriculture markets, led by edible oils, rose as they took their cue from oil prices due to the extensive use of vegetable oils in making biofuels. Aluminium firmed on supply worries even as other metals faced headwinds from a stronger dollar. “The violent reaction stems from the markets seeing no obvious offramp in

KATHMANDU, March 6 (Reuters) – The party of Nepali rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah was ahead on Friday in more than two-thirds of seats where leads were available in general elections, outpacing rivals, including the former prime minister ousted in last year’s uprising. Shah, 35, the former mayor of Kathmandu, the capital, has dominated the race to become prime minister during the campaign, gaining near-rockstar like fame on social media across the Himalayan nation in the wake of the youth-led uprising. “I voted for Rastriya Swatantra Party because Balen is there,” said Deepak Adhikari, 33, after voting for Shah’s party in Kathmandu
Rupee ends 6 paise lower at 91.70 against USD in range-bound trade amid West Asia crisis
Mumbai, Mar 6 (PTI) The rupee stayed range-bound throughout the session on Friday and ended 6 paise lower at 91.70 (provisional) against the US dollar, resisting pressure from inflated crude oil prices and suspected RBI intervention. According to forex experts, heavy selling in domestic equities and withdrawal of foreign funds further dragged the rupee down. However, they said the depreciation was capped following the US administration’s decision to allow Indian refiners to purchase Russian oil for 30 days, a move to ease pressure on global energy flows amid the ongoing war in West Asia.
