The Universe reminds you: vulnerability is not a weakness but a bridge to deeper connection. Let love surprise you today, even in the smallest gestures.
Career Horoscope
At work, your legendary organization is your superpower, Virgo, but today's energies invite you to see the bigger picture.

Maybe it's time to set up a new savings plan or research an investment that excites you. Don't be afraid to seek advice from someone you trust or to explore creative ways to manage your resources. The Universe supports your efforts to build security, but reminds you: abundance flows where intention goes. Take one small, concrete step today toward your financial aspirations—it could make all the difference.
Health Horoscope
Your well-being today is nourished by balance between mind and body. The Sun-Moon trine supports gentle introspection—why not try a short meditation or mindful breathing exercise during a break? If anxiety creeps in, channel your energy into organizing a small space at home or tending to your favorite plant. These simple acts can ground you and bring a sense of accomplishment. Remember, Virgo, self-care isn't selfish—it's essential. Treat yourself with the same kindness and patience you offer others. Your inner harmony will radiate outward, brightening your day and those around you.

Oil little changed after hitting one-week low, oversupply concerns linger
Oil prices were little changed on Tuesday after three days of declines on mounting oversupply concerns after OPEC+ agreed to another large output increase in September, though the potential for more Russian supply disruptions supported the market. Brent crude futures were unchanged at $68.76 a barrel by 0036 GMT while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $66.27 a barrel, down 2 cents, or 0.03%. Both contracts fell by more than 1% in the previous session to settle at their lowest in a week. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, together known as OPEC+, pumps about half of the world's oil and had been curtailing production for several years to support the market, but the group introduced a series of accelerated output hikes this year to regain market share. In its latest decision, OPEC+ agreed on Sunday to raise oil production by 547,000 barrels per day for September. It marks a full and early reversal of the group's largest tranche of output cuts, amounting to about 2.5 million bpd, or about 2.4% of global demand, though analysts caution the actual amount returning to the market will be less. At the same time, U.S. demands for India to stop buying Russian oil as Washington seeks ways to push Moscow for a peace deal with Ukraine is increasing concerns of a disruption to supply flows. U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to impose 100% secondary tariffs on Russian crude buyers. This follows a 25% tariff on Indian imports announced in July. India is the biggest buyer of seaborne crude from Russia, importing about 1.75 million bpd of Russian oil from January to June this year, up 1% from a year ago, according to data provided to Reuters by trade sources. "India has become a major buyer of the Kremlin's oil since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Any disruption to those purchases would force Russia to find alternative buyers from an increasingly small group of allies," ANZ senior commodity strategist Daniel Hynes wrote in a note. Traders are also awaiting any developments on the latest U.S. tariffs on its trading partners, which analysts fear could slow down economic growth and dampen fuel demand growth.

Trump again threatens India with harsh tariffs over Russian oil purchases
WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump again threatened on Monday to raise tariffs on goods from India over its Russian oil purchases, while New Delhi called his attack "unjustified" and vowed to protect its economic interests, deepening the trade rift between the two countries. In a social media post, Trump wrote, "India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine." "Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA," he added. A spokesperson for India's foreign ministry said in response that India will "take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security." "The targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable," the spokesperson added. Trump has said that from Friday he will impose new sanctions on Russia as well as on countries that buy its energy exports, unless Moscow takes steps to end its 3-1/2 year war with Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin has shown no public sign of altering his stance despite the deadline. Over the weekend, two Indian government sources told Reuters that India will keep purchasing oil from Russia despite Trump's threats. India has faced pressure from the West to distance itself from Moscow since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. New Delhi has resisted, citing its longstanding ties with Russia and economic needs. Trump had already in July announced 25% tariffs on Indian imports, and U.S. officials have cited a range of geopolitical issues standing in the way of a U.S.-India trade accord. Trump has also cast the wider BRICS group of developing nations as hostile to the United States. Those nations have dismissed his accusation, saying the group promotes the interests of its members and of developing countries at large. CRUDE BUYER India is the biggest buyer of seaborne crude from Russia, importing about 1.75 million barrels per day of Russian oil from January to June this year, up 1% from a year ago, according to data provided to Reuters by trade sources. India began importing oil from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict, the Indian spokesperson said, calling it a "necessity compelled by global market situation." The spokesperson also noted the West's, particularly the European Union's, bilateral trade with Russia: "It is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia." Despite the Indian government's defiance, the country's main refiners paused buying Russian oil last week, sources told Reuters. Discounts to other suppliers narrowed after Trump threatened hefty tariffs on countries that make any such purchases. Indian government officials denied any policy change. The country's largest refiner, Indian Oil Corp, has bought 7 million barrels of crude from the United States, Canada and the Middle East, four trade sources told Reuters on Monday. India also has been frustrated by Trump repeatedly taking credit for an India-Pakistan ceasefire that he announced on social media in May, which halted days of hostilities between the nuclear-armed neighbors. The unpredictability of the Trump administration creates a challenge for Delhi, said Richard Rossow, head of the India program at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies. "India's continued energy and defense purchases from Russia presents a larger challenge, where India does not feel it can predict how the Trump administration will approach Russia from month to month," he said.

Gold rises for fourth session as US jobs data lifts Fed rate cut bets
Gold nudged higher for a fourth session on Tuesday, supported by a softer dollar and lower Treasury yields as weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data strengthened expectations of a rate cut in September. Spot gold was up 0.1% at $3,375.89 per ounce as of 0239 GMT. U.S. gold futures also gained 0.1% to $3,430.40. The dollar index hovered near a one-week low, making gold more affordable to holders of other currencies. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note dropped to a one-month low. "Short-term momentum has improved for the bullish side of the narrative supporting gold prices is that the Fed is still in the mode to actually cut rates in September," OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong said. U.S. employment growth was softer than expected in July, while non-farm payroll figures for May and June were revised down by a massive 258,000 jobs, suggesting a deterioration in labor market conditions. Traders now see a 92% chance of a September rate cut, per the CME FedWatch tool. San Francisco Fed Bank President Mary Daly said on Monday that given mounting evidence that the U.S. job market is softening and that there is no sign of persistent tariff-driven inflation, the time is nearing for rate cuts. Gold, traditionally considered a safe-haven asset during political and economic uncertainties, tends to thrive in a low-interest-rate environment. On the trade front, President Donald Trump once again threatened on Monday to raise tariffs on Indian goods over its Russian oil purchases. New Delhi called his remarks "unjustified" and vowed to protect its economic interests, deepening the trade rift between the two countries. Still, gold faces some technical resistance. "I still do not see traders pushing up aggressively above the $3,450 level. Unless we have a very clear catalyst for gold price to actually pick up this level" OANDA's Wong said. Elsewhere, spot silver rose 0.1% to $37.44 per ounce, platinum gained 0.1% to $1,330.31 and palladium was up 0.2% to $1,204.25.
