India reportedly seeks increased Russian oil imports amid Middle East disruptions. Russia could potentially double supplies, according to reports via Kommersant.

This could have meaningful implications for oil prices and the broader commodities market, potentially increasing demand for Russian oil at a time when geopolitical tensions are already influencing prices and currency flows, particularly for the USD and EUR.
