Iran says to submit own nuclear proposal to US soon
Iran said Monday it will soon present a counter-proposal on a nuclear deal with the United States, after it had described Washington's offer as containing "ambiguities". Tehran and Washington have held five rounds of talks since April to thrash out a new nuclear accord to replace the deal with major powers that US President Donald Trump abandoned during his first term in 2018. The longtime foes have been locked in a diplomatic standoff over Iran's uranium enrichment, with Tehran defending it as a "non-negotiable" right and Washington describing it as a "red line". On May 31, after the fifth round talks, Iran said it had received "elements" of a US proposal, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying later the text contained "ambiguities". Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei criticised the US proposal as "lacking elements" reflective of the previous rounds of negotiations, without providing further details. "We will soon submit our own proposed plan to the other side through (mediator) Oman once it is finalised," Baqaei told a weekly press briefing. "It is a proposal that is reasonable, logical, and balanced, and we strongly recommend that the American side value this opportunity." Iran's parliament speaker has said the US proposal failed to include the lifting of sanctions -- a key demand for Tehran, which has been reeling under their weight for years. - 'Strategic mistake' - Trump, who has revived his "maximum pressure" campaign of sanctions on Iran since taking office in January, has repeatedly said it will not be allowed any uranium enrichment under a potential deal. On Wednesday, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the US offer was "100 percent against" notions of independence and self-reliance. He insisted that uranium enrichment was "key" to Iran's nuclear programme and that the US "cannot have a say" on the issue. Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, far above the 3.67-percent limit set in the 2015 deal and close though still short of the 90 percent needed for a nuclear warhead. Western countries, including the United States, have long accused Iran of seeking to acquire atomic weapons, while Iran insists its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes The United Nations nuclear watchdog will convene a Board of Governors meeting from June 9-13 in Vienna to discuss Iran's nuclear activities. The meeting comes after the International Atomic Energy Agency released a report criticising "less than satisfactory" cooperation from Tehran, particularly in explaining past cases of nuclear material found at undeclared sites. Iran has criticised the IAEA report as unbalanced, saying it relied on "forged documents" provided by its arch foe Israel. Britain, France and Germany, the three European countries who were party to the 2015 deal, are currently weighing whether to trigger the sanctions "snapback" mechanism in the accord. The mechanism would reinstate UN sanctions in response to Iranian non-compliance -- an option that expires in October. On Friday, Araghchi warned European powers against backing a draft resolution at the IAEA accusing Tehran of non-compliance, calling it a "strategic mistake". On Monday, Baqaei said Iran has "prepared and formulated a series of steps and measures" if the resolution passed. "Without a doubt, the response to confrontation will not be more cooperation," he added. rkh-mz/ysm

India May inflation likely cooled to 3% as food price pressure eases
By Pranoy Krishna BENGALURU (Reuters) -India's consumer inflation rate likely eased to a more than six-year low of 3% in May thanks to a favourable base and a further moderation in food prices, a Reuters poll forecast, supporting last week's larger-than-expected interest rate cut. On Friday the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stunned financial markets by slashing its key policy rate by 50 basis points, double what was predicted, to boost economic growth as inflation has remained subdued. The central bank, which targets inflation in the middle of its 2-6% range in the medium term, also shifted its policy stance to 'neutral' from 'accommodative'. A snap Reuters poll after the decision found the RBI was likely done with cutting rates, wrapping up one of its shortest and shallowest easing cycles in more than a decade. The June 5–9 Reuters poll of 50 economists, published on Monday, forecast inflation measured by the annual change in the consumer price index (CPI) fell even further to 3.00% in May from 3.16% in April. That would mark the fourth consecutive month below the RBI's 4.0% medium-term target, the longest such streak in nearly six years. It would also be the lowest inflation rate since April 2019, welcome news for many Indian households where food takes up a significant share of monthly expenses. Forecasts for the data due on Thursday at 1030 GMT ranged from 2.7% to 3.7%. "We are expecting a cooling of inflation to 3% on a combination of a favourable base effect and... sequential moderation in prices of cereals and pulses even as most other segments started to strengthen," said Kanika Pasricha, chief economic advisor at Union Bank of India. "Prices of most food segments though continue to slide but the pace of correction is losing ground," she added. While concerns over widespread heatwaves raised fears of an inflation spike last month, a healthy harvest and the early arrival of monsoon rains helped ease those risks. "Even though there were heatwaves, I think the early monsoons across the country are likely to have cooled things off... most of the categories of food inflation seem to be contained," said Indranil Pan, chief economist at Yes Bank. Core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy items and is seen as a better indicator of domestic demand, was expected to have edged up to 4.20% year-on-year in May, from an estimated 4.00%-4.10% in April, the poll showed. India's official statistics agency does not publish core inflation data. Wholesale price index (WPI)-based inflation likely dipped to a 14-month low of 0.80% in May from 0.85% in April, the survey found.

Latest Economy Observer report from Dun & Bradstreet reveals India's steady rise as inflation eases and financial markets strengthen
MUMBAI, India , June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dun & Bradstreet, a global leader in business decisioning data and analytics, has released its Economy Observer report for June 2025 . Economy Observer is a monthly report sharing in-depth analysis of key macroeconomic developments in India and provides forecasts for key economic indicators, and insight into the expected direction of the Indian economy. Key economic forecast: Real Economy: India's GDP in the final quarter of FY25 expanded by an impressive 7.4% from the provisional estimate of 6.5%. Looking ahead, D&B forecasts a moderation in India's Industrial Production Index (IIP) to 1.8% in May from 2.7% in April— reflecting a combination of cyclical and sector-specific weaknesses. Domestic demand is robust, and international ties are improving. Industrial growth faces short-term headwinds. These include base effects, inventory corrections (destocking), and supply disruptions caused by the early monsoon season. Urban demand is expected to pick up due to tax exemptions taking effect from April, while an early monsoon should boost the kharif season, supporting rural consumption—especially durables and e-commerce. Price Scenario: India's inflation trajectory continues to improve, reinforcing price stability. Dun & Bradstreet forecasts CPI inflation to follow its current downward trajectory to 3.0% in May from 3.2% in April, driven primarily by sustained disinflation in food prices. Food and beverages inflation has cooled down to its lowest in over a year, led by sharp corrections in vegetables and pulses. While unseasonal weather caused intermittent volatility, proactive release of buffer stocks by the Food Corporation of India helped contain cereal inflation and dampen broader food price pressures. Dun & Bradstreet forecasts WPI inflation to fall to 0.7% in May, from 0.9% in April, reflecting weak input cost pressures, subdued global commodity prices, and a supportive base effect. Notably, the recent surge in global copper prices has yet to significantly impact wholesale price indices but may influence industrial cost structures in the coming months. Money & Finance: India's financial markets in May 2025 exhibit growing stability, supported by easing inflation, improved liquidity, and a stronger fiscal position. Dun & Bradstreet projects the 10-year G-Sec yield to ease to 6.4% and the 91-day T-Bill to 5.9%, reflecting better borrowing conditions. The RBI's ₹40,000 crore OMO purchase and a record ₹2.7 lakh crore dividend transfer to the government have bolstered liquidity and reduced bond supply pressures. Bank credit growth has moderated to 10.0%, indicating recalibrated demand and cautious lending amid tighter digital lending oversight. The RBI's decision to raise the Contingent Risk Buffer to 7.5% signals growing confidence in financial system resilience. Structural reforms, including the launch of '. and ' domains, enhance cybersecurity in digital finance, while formalization trends are curbing currency circulation. External Sector: In May 2025 , the Indian rupee appreciated to ₹85.3/USD, Dun & Bradstreet forecasts Rupee to stabilize around ₹85.4 in June. The currency's strength was supported by reduced capital outflows, RBI's calibrated liquidity support and rate adjustments, which reinforced monetary stability, as well as a weakening of the dollar. A narrower trade deficit due to lower non-essential imports and sustained FII inflows improved the balance of payments. A steepening yield curve and notable declines in 5- and 10-year yields underscored strong demand for Indian debt. Going forward, the rupee is well positioned to defend its gains, backed by robust fundamentals and investor confidence. Arun Singh , Global Chief Economist, Dun & Bradstreet, said, ' India's short-term economic outlook remains strong as GDP in the final quarter of FY25 expanded by an impressive 7.4% —a symbolic milestone that reinforces investor confidence. A pick-up in urban consumption—spurred by pre-festive spending, tax reliefs, and a favorable base—is cushioning overall growth. Meanwhile, an early and widespread monsoon is expected to lift rural demand, particularly in agri-linked sectors. Headline inflation remains manageable, aided by easing food prices and supply-side interventions. Financial markets continue to show momentum, with strong equity performance, stable bond yields, and robust foreign portfolio inflows. The rupee has appreciated mildly, reflecting improved current account dynamics and positive sentiment. In the short run, policy support and macro stability are expected to anchor growth amid global volatility.'
