Time of India19 hours ago

2025 Honda XL750 Transalp launched in India.
Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has launched the 2025 iteration of the XL750 Transalp, priced at Rs 10.99 lakh, ex-showroom. The adventure tourer is now available for bookings through the brand's BigWing dealerships, with deliveries slated to begin in July 2025. Here's a look at what's changed.
2025 XL750 Transalp: What's new
The new Transalp retains its core mechanical package but gets a host of updates in terms of cosmetics, functionality and rider comfort. One of the key changes is the redesigned twin LED projector headlamp setup. It also sports a revised windscreen made of Durabio - a sustainable, bio-engineered plastic - that now features a central air intake to divert airflow away from the rider.
These updates have led to a slight increase in weight, with the kerb weight now standing at 210 kg, which is 2 kg more than the previous version.

The Transalp continues to be powered by the 755 cc parallel-twin engine, delivering 90.52 bhp and 75 Nm of torque. The motor is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and benefits from a slipper clutch.
In terms of electronics, the bike comes with throttle-by-wire technology and five riding modes: Sport, Standard, Rain, Gravel, and a customisable user mode. It also features Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), dual-channel ABS, and a 5-inch full-colour TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation.
Suspension duties are handled by a 43 mm Showa USD fork at the front and a Showa monoshock at the rear, both of which have been tweaked with increased compression and rebound damping for better control. Braking remains unchanged, with dual 310 mm discs up front and a 256 mm disc at the rear.

Commodity Radar: Gold faces caution ahead of Fed meet, but bullish trend intact. Key entry levels to watch

Gold prices experienced a slight dip in early trading on Tuesday, influenced by investor caution ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Domestic prices mirrored this international trend, with profit booking occurring after a significant rally. Geopolitical tensions, particularly between Israel and Iran, alongside tariff concerns, are expected to fuel an uptrend. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tech view: 5 things investors should track Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Gold trading strategy Gold traded with a negative bias in Tuesday's early trade as the traders were cautious ahead of the two-day Federal Open Market Committee Meeting (FOMC), which begins today. The domestic prices mirrored international trends, with some profit booking seen after a strong rally that pushed the yellow metal above the Rs 1 lakh mark on the 9:30 am, the August gold futures were trading at Rs 98,869, falling Rs 309 or 0.31%. Meanwhile, prices on the COMEX were hovering around $3,402.90 per troy ounce, down $14.40, or 0.42%.The dollar index (DXY) was trading above 98, up 0.13% against a basket of six major currencies. As the movement on DXY is typically inverse to the gold price , a 1% drop gave a fresh momentum to the and tariffs will continue to fuel the uptrend, according to Jateen Trivedi, Vice President - Commodity Research at LKP Securities , and gold's haven appeal will likely take a northward trajectory amid growing tensions between Israel and Iran. Moreover, the tariffs remain a big conundrum as we are weeks behind the July economic data from the US and India will remain the catalyst. The Street will be watching the developments around the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting , which begins today. The Central Bank will announce its policy decisions on Wednesday. "Any dovish or hawkish surprises can swing gold decisively," Jateen Trivedi India's WPI Inflation (MoM) adds to domestic sentiment and price correlation with said that the rupee weakness, driven by geopolitical uncertainty, is keeping portfolios cautious and he believes that INR could further depreciate, triggering capital outflows and adding to domestic gold demand as a hedge.1) Key Support & Resistance: Gold continues its ascent, recently reaching Rs 1,01,078 with a close near Rs 1,00,305. The recent break above Rs 98,900–Rs 99,000 confirms bullish Levels:-- Rs 99,000 – prior resistance turned near-term support-- Rs 97,000 – secondary support aligning with the 21 EMA-- Rs 93,200 – long-term base, unlikely to be tested unless there's a steep correctionResistance Levels:-- Rs 1,01,300–Rs 1,01,500 – upper zone poised as target-- Rs 1,02,500 – near convergence of upper Bollinger band and historical highsA sustained run above Rs 1,01,500 could pave the way towards Rs 1,02,500+, while a dip below Rs 99,000 would signal short-term weakness.2) RSI (14) at 65.53 – bullish momentum with room to runRSI reads 65.5, comfortably below overbought territory, reflecting strong upward momentum but keeping further upside possible before fatigue sets in.3) Bollinger bands: Gold is riding near the upper Bollinger band, indicating a strong uptrend. With band width expanding, this suggests continuation of the bullish impulse rather than an imminent reversal.4. Moving averages: EMA 8 & EMA 21 show a steady bullish structure-- EMA 8 (red): Rs 99,500-- EMA 21 (yellow): Rs 98,600The price remains well above both EMAs, underscoring a solid upward trend. The current positioning reinforces a buy-on-dips bias.5) MACD: Although the MACD isn't displayed in the chart, prior readings indicated a strong bullish crossover. With the recent rally and rising momentum, the MACD remains firmly above the signal line, supporting further price the dips near Rs 99,000. Gold remains bullish as long as the Rs 99,000–Rs 99,500 zone holds.-- Entry strategy: Buy on dips around Rs 99,000–Rs 99,500-- Stop Loss: Rs 97,000 on closing basis-- Targets: Rs 1,01,500–Rs 1,02,500-- Next target: Rs 1,03,500 if geopolitical tensions persist(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

Iran-Israel conflict: How will blocking of Strait of Hormuz hit India? Indian refiners look at alternative routes for fuel supply

The Strait of Hormuz serves as a crucial channel for worldwide energy transportation. (AI image) Will the escalating Iran-Israel conflict cause an oil supply issue for India? Indian refiners are exploring alternative energy sources, including those from West African nations, to ensure fuel supply security in case Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz amid escalating tensions with Israel, according to oil industry officials. Following the eruption of Iran-Israel tensions on Friday, senior oil ministry officials and industry leaders are conducting scenario analyses and preparing contingency plans for potential supply disruptions and price volatility. The oil ministry reports that India maintains crude oil and petroleum product storage facilities capable of meeting 74 days of domestic consumption requirements. The strategic petroleum reserves account for 9.5 days of this total capacity. Unlike its strategic crude reserves, India has not established gas storage facilities. Additionally, the government maintains confidentiality regarding national oil and gas inventory levels. Industry executives indicate that this overall storage capability includes stocks at refineries, pipeline networks, vessels in transit, product storage terminals, and vacant tanks suitable for storing both crude oil and refined products. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo What is the Strait of Hormuz & why it matters The Strait of Hormuz serves as a crucial channel for worldwide energy transportation. This strategic waterway, spanning just 29 nautical miles at its narrowest section, facilitates the movement of approximately one-third of maritime oil shipments and 20% of global liquefied natural gas. The strategic significance of this passageway, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea, is emphasised by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), which designates it as the "world's most important oil chokepoint." The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that in 2023, roughly 20 million barrels per day (mb/d) of crude oil and refined products traversed the Strait of Hormuz, accounting for about 30% of global oil commerce. The majority of this volume—approximately 70%—was destined for Asian markets, with China, India and Japan being the primary destinations. Although alternative pipeline networks are present, their capacity remains restricted. According to IEA calculations, merely 4.2 mb/d of crude oil can be redirected through land-based routes, including Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline to the Red Sea and the UAE's Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline to Fujairah. This available capacity constitutes just about one-fourth of the regular daily volume passing through the Strait. Impact on India A potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz could impact 40% of India's crude imports and 54% of its LNG supplies. This strait currently facilitates approximately 30% of global oil trade and 20% of LNG shipments. India's crude oil dependency on imports stands at 90%, with refineries heavily dependent on Gulf supplies. Russian imports constitute approximately 35%, Gulf nations contribute over 40%, whilst Africa, the US and other sources make up the balance. African imports declined to 5% in May from 12% in April. Also Read | Significant dent? How an escalating Iran-Israel conflict can threaten India's growth story - explained For 2024, India's LNG procurement from the Gulf region stands at 54%, with Qatar providing 80% and UAE supplying the remaining amount. Qatar, ranking amongst the top three global LNG exporters, maintains significant influence over worldwide gas supply. Any interruption to Qatari exports could trigger a surge in spot LNG prices. Additionally, long-term LNG prices could increase, considering 60% of India's long-term agreements are connected to crude oil rates. However, industry executives from Indian refining and gas companies express scepticism about Iran implementing a blockade, based on historical precedents. They suggest that such an action would likely trigger substantial price increases and direct US intervention, whilst also adversely affecting Gulf nations and oil-dependent countries. Additionally, executives note that blocking the strait would disrupt both Gulf exports and essential imports, including Iran's own trade, which serves as a significant deterrent. Currently, Indian refiners are maintaining their normal purchasing patterns without resorting to 'panic buying'. Also Read | Iran-Israel conflict impact: Basmati rice prices to drop as exports to Iran, third largest buyer of Indian basmati, expected to decline While contingency plans exist, an executive told ET that "closure of the strait would shrink the global pool of available oil and gas. No matter how carefully you prepare, every economy would feel the impact of a supply crunch and price spike." Another executive highlighted the situation's intricacy, stating, "If India turns to West Africa for additional supplies, other importers are likely to follow." The international LNG trade lacks the maturity and flexibility seen in oil markets, with few options for supply diversification. The 2022 energy crisis highlighted this vulnerability when a former Gazprom subsidiary defaulted on its LNG delivery commitments to India's GAIL, compelling the company to reduce supplies to domestic consumers.
