The Oil Market’s strange new reality | The Daily Brief #311

In today's episode of The Daily Brief, we cover 2 major stories shaping the Indian economy and global markets: 1. Oil’s Strange Moment The global oil market is in turmoil. Supply is rising while demand stays weak, leading to job cuts, stalled investments, and heavy discounts on crude. Despite geopolitical tensions, prices remain capped as oversupply dominates. This raises the question: is the world heading towards another oil crunch in the coming years? 2. The Great Currency Divide Global trade is shifting, and so are the currencies used in it. The US dollar still dominates, but China’s renminbi is slowly gaining ground, especially in energy deals. Geopolitics is pushing countries to rethink invoicing and settlements, creating a more fragmented currency system where power is divided rather than centralized.
