India's biggest refiner buys US, Middle East crude as Trump slams Russia purchases
SINGAPORE/NEW DELHI, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Indian Oil Corp ( opens new tab has bought 7 million barrels of crude from the United States, Canada and the Middle East, four trade sources said on Monday, as U.S. President Donald Trump ramped up his criticism of the country over its purchases of Russian oil. India is the biggest buyer of seaborne crude from Russia, which is under Western-led sanctions over its war in Ukraine. Its main refiners paused buying Russian oil last week as discounts to other suppliers narrowed after Trump threatened hefty tariffs on imports from countries that make any such purchases, Reuters reported last week. Indian government officials denied any policy change. On Monday, Trump said on Truth Social he would substantially raise the import levy on Indian goods, accusing the country of not only buying massive amounts of Russian oil but "they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits". India imported 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. IOC, India's largest refiner, bought crude via a tender from the United States, Canada and the Middle East for September arrival, the trade sources said on Monday. They declined to be named because they were not authorised to speak to the media. The refiner bought 4.5 million barrels of U.S. crude, 500,000 barrels of Western Canadian Select (WCS) and two million barrels of Das oil produced in Abu Dhabi, the sources said. The higher-than-normal purchases are partly to replace Russian barrels, two of the sources said. Indian state refiners - IOC, Hindustan Petroleum Corp ( opens new tab, Bharat Petroleum Corp ( opens new tab and Mangalore Refinery Petrochemical Ltd ( opens new tab - had not sought Russian crude in the past week or so, Reuters reported last week. Indian companies do not comment on oil purchases. In IOC's tender that closed on Friday, P66 and Equinor ( opens new tab will each ship 1 million barrels of U.S. West Texas Intermediate Midland crude while Mercuria will ship 2 million barrels of the same grade, the sources said. Vitol will deliver 1 million barrels of WTI Midland and WCS, they added. Trafigura will deliver 2 million barrels of Das. Prices for the deals were not immediately available. U.S. criticism of India's oil purchases from Russia sharpened after New Delhi and Washington failed to reach an agreement on a trade deal, prompting the Trump administration to levy a 25% import tariff on Indian goods.

Are Newcastle's owners helping Liverpool buy Isak?
The Saudi Pro League is emerging as a possible destination for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez this Sport understands that a potential move to the Middle East for the Uruguay international has been explored this summer with intermediaries actively working on trying to broker a who are controlled by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and coached by former Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi, are interested in offloading Nunez would financially aid Liverpool's efforts to land striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle - another club owned by PIF - this would PIF be allowing one of their clubs to benefit at the expense of another if Al-Hilal sign Nunez? 'What is PIF's priority? There is some uncertainty over whether Nunez, 26, is prepared to leave European football at this stage in his has also been a target for Italian champions Napoli this summer while other European sides have also shown an owns 75% stakes in four of the leading Saudi Arabian clubs, including Al-Hilal, while it also owns a 80% stake in Magpies rejected a £110m bid from Liverpool for Isak on Friday, with Newcastle valuing the Sweden international at about £150m."It makes me think about what the priority is for PIF," Newcastle fan writer Charlotte Robson told BBC Sport."More and more discontent has been felt in the fanbase lately over where Newcastle sit on PIF's list of priorities, and allowing another of their clubs to benefit at the potential expense of us feels even more like we are being overlooked."Perhaps it's their clever way of getting money into NUFC, but I think most fans would say we'd rather an improved contract was given to Isak, the dust of the summer settles, and he stays with us a little while longer." 'Liverpool can afford Isak without Nunez money' However, football finance expert Kieran Maguire says Liverpool can afford to buy Isak regardless of whether Nunez stays or leaves."Although they've been very active in the transfer window, if they really wanted to, they could have spent another £200-250m, and still would have been within the PSR [profit and sustainability rules] limits," he told BBC have signed Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Armin Pecsi for a combined total of about £265m without the departures of Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher and Trent Alexander-Arnold have recouped an initial £ added: "I think people are joining the dots and perhaps making two plus two equals five in terms of, is this a 'you scratching my back? I'll scratch yours' type of situation. But in my view, there's insufficient evidence to back that up."I suspect that Liverpool are likely to be the biggest beneficiary of this, rather than a PIF club. Newcastle don't want to sell Isak."As far as Al Hilal are concerned, there are plenty of strikers that they could have bought. It just so happens that Nunez is effectively available, and therefore they decided to pursue that as an option." What's the latest on Isak? Isak joined Newcastle in a £60m move from La Liga side Real Sociedad in was the club's top scorer last season as they won the Carabao Cup, ending their 70-year wait for domestic 25-year-old, who was reported as wanting to explore a move away from Tyneside by BBC Sport in July, was left out of the club's pre-season tour of Asia with what the club called a "minor thigh injury".Last week, the Sweden international trained alone at former club Real Sociedad amid ongoing uncertainty about his future, although sources say he returned to Newcastle training on boss Eddie Howe said Isak must "earn the right" to train with his squad again and, speaking to the Newcastle Chronicle, said he had not spoken to the forward since Liverpool lodged a Newcastle boss, speaking before he travelled back home with his squad from South Korea, added that Liverpool, as far as he was aware, had not been back in touch since making their offer.

ADIB taps Visa for cross-border remittances
ADIB Visa partnership introduces Remit, a global real-time cross-border transfer service powered by Visa Direct. 0 With access to more than 11 billion cards, wallets, and accounts,this partnership is a significant step in ADIB's expansion of its digital reach and customer-centric innovation. The new service is designed to offer real-time, secure, and convenient cross-border money transfers, allowing individuals to send funds seamlessly for family support, personal needs, or other purposes. The partnership also reflects a broader push by Visa to expand real-time money movement across the Middle East. As consumers increasingly seek digital solutions for sending funds abroad, such collaborations help modernize the region's payments infrastructure and support greater financial inclusion. 'This partnership marks a major milestone for our customers and reaffirms our commitment to digital innovation and customer-centric financial services. We are excited to be the first bank globally to launch such a service, offering our customers a seamless and secure way to send money across the globe', said Amit Malhotra, Global Head of Consumer Banking, ADIB. 'The Middle East is home to one of the world's most active remittance corridors. In the UAE alone, consumers send money abroad an average of 1.4 times per month. This is a clear sign of the demand for fast, secure and reliable transfers. Through our partnership with ADIB, we're extending the reach of Visa Direct to make real-time money movement a reality for more people and businesses across the region,' said Salima Gutieva, Visa's VP and Country Manager for UAE. The launch comes amid rising demand for faster and more transparent cross-border transfers in the Gulf. According to Visa's 2025 remittance study, 95% of surveyed consumers in the UAE send money abroad at least once per year. Among those, 63% prefer to transfer funds digitally from physical locations, and nearly half cite safety, privacy and speed as key reasons for choosing digital methods. Nevertheless, key pain points remain. High fees and the need to travel to a physical location to complete a transfer are among the most frequently reported frustrations. Over a third of UAE consumers surveyed say they have encountered such issues when sending money. Visa Direct is designed to address these concerns. As Visa's global money movement network, it enables real-time, secure transfers to cards, wallets and accounts globally. One such solution, Visa+, allows businesses and financial institutions to send funds using a recipient's mobile number or email, rather than full account details. Already active across key GCC corridors, including the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain, Visa+ helps streamline a range of use cases, from peer-to-peer payments to business disbursements and cross-border remittances. This ADIB Visa partnership demonstrates how collaboration can reshape global remittances—offering customers faster, safer, and smarter ways to send money abroad.
