India and Taiwan were leading buyers of Russian naphtha in June, LSEG data shows
India and Taiwan were the leading destinations for Russian seaborne naphtha exports in June, as cheaper volumes and domestic demand attracted buyers, according to traders and LSEG data. Naphtha is a primary feedstock in the petrochemical industry for producing olefins and aromatics, which are then used to manufacture a wide array of products, including plastics, synthetic resins, synthetic fibers, and various other chemicals. Since the European Union's full embargo on Russian oil products went into effect in February 2023, countries in the Middle East and Asia have become the main destinations for Russia's naphtha supplies. Naphtha export shipments from Russian ports to India in June totalled 250,000 metric tons, down 5% from May, and exceeded 1.4 million tons in the first half of 2025. Russian naphtha arrived at the western Indian ports of Mundra, Hazira, and Sikka, shipping data showed. India partially replaced naphtha purchases from the United Arab Emirates with cheaper Russian supplies in order to reduce import costs. Naphtha exports from Russian ports to Taiwan reached 234,000 tons last month, double their May level, and totalled 1.27 million tons between January and June, according to LSEG data. Singapore, Malaysia, Turkey and China were among the other top destinations for Russian naphtha export supplies in June. Ship-tracking data showed that no cargoes from Russian ports arrived in Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates in June. Russia had supplied 80,000 tons to the UAE in May. Vessels carrying nearly 300,000 tons of Russian naphtha loaded last month are heading to Asia via Southern Africa's Cape of Good Hope. Asia received 150,000 tons in May. Traders have been diverting Russian oil products cargoes around Africa since December 2023 to avoid the Red Sea due to a heightened risk of attacks by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group. All the shipping data above are based on the date of cargo departure.

Why Gen Alpha Will Be The Most Watched Generation In Human History
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently discussed how traditional education is going to change in the next 15-20 years, with artificial intelligence (AI) becoming an integral part of learning. This potential shift in global education structure highlights how Generation Alpha will be the most watched generation in human history. From basic education to financial literacy, Gen Alpha is going to face unique circumstances in the coming years that likely have far-reaching consequences for their lives, society and the future of humanity. Rise Of Tech, Neurotech And AI Gen Alpha includes people born (or yet to be born) between 2010 and 2025, with nearly two billion individuals worldwide, which makes them potentially the largest generation in history. India and China have the highest birth rates for this generation. McCrindle data reveals that 2,586,000 Gen Alphas are born globally each week. It's not wrong to call them 'digital natives' as they are growing up with smartphones, social media and AI. Data published by Qustodio revealed that 72 per cent of students globally use digital devices in the classroom. Imagine the impact on curious minds with access to everything through the internet. Gen Alpha is surrounded by AI-powered devices, from smart toys and virtual assistants to personalised learning platforms. They also use smart devices, wearables and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, with their daily activities being tracked and monitored like never before. Although these technologies make life easier and open diverse opportunities, they collect vast amounts of data on behaviour, preferences and learning patterns. This data can be used to create detailed profiles of behaviour, interests and habits, with possibilities of data breach issues. Gen Alpha is also witnessing advancement in neurotech, such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and neurofeedback devices, which are being used to monitor and influence brain activity. This technology will impact Gen Alpha as it has the potential to shape their thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Growing up with such technologies is likely to have profound effects on Gen Alpha's cognitive, social and emotional development. It may influence their sense of identity, self-awareness and relationships with others. Some experts have argued that Gen Alpha's reliance on technology may lead to dependency issues, affecting their ability to function without devices, which might cause increased stress, anxiety and decreased self-esteem. Hence, parents and educators play a vital role in managing Gen Alpha's technology use as they are expected to ensure balanced exposure and promote healthy digital habits. Gen Alpha Knows What's Best For Them Gen Alphas have access to smartphones and tablets from an increasingly early age. Children between 8 and 12 years old spend an average of 4 hours and 44 minutes in front of screens every day. Smartphone addiction and social media addiction have been on the rise in recent years, especially among Millennials and Boomers. But Gen Alpha may show a balanced approach as 75 per cent of children aged 8-10 are already thinking about mental health. The majority of this generation also thinks that there's a need to disconnect from technology for well-being. Peek Into Their Spending Habits Gen Alpha's spending power is estimated to reach $5.46 trillion by 2029. A total of 90 per cent of Gen Alpha children earn their own money, with 69 per cent earning through chores and 48 per cent interested in starting a business or side hustle. Still, parents play a huge role in shaping Gen Alpha's financial habits, with 80 per cent of Gen Alpha learning about money from their parents. Will They Lack Moral Values? The answer is NO, because Gen Alpha considers helping people the most important thing in life. Several surveys have found that Alphas are tech-savvy but have a deep sense of environmental and social awareness. A GWI data revealed that in the United States, 61 per cent of Gen Alphas said that helping people is important for them. A total of 51 per cent said they would protect people from bullying, and 51 per cent said everyone should be treated the same. According to data by Razorfish, more than 30 per cent of Gen Alphas say they want to make a difference, growing up to help people or the planet.
