Crude Oil Little Changed After Hitting One-Week Low, Oversupply Concerns Linger
Last Updated: Brent crude futures were unchanged at $68.76 a barrel by 0036 GMT while US West Texas Intermediate crude was at $66.27 a barrel, down 2 cents, or 0.03%. Crude 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 US 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, US 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. US 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 US tariffs on its trading partners, which analysts fear could slow down economic growth and dampen fuel demand growth. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Hero Mavrick 440 Discontinued, Here's Why The Most Premium Bike Failed To Impress
Last Updated: The Mavrick 440 shared its platform with the Harley-Davidson X440, which has seen relatively good success in the Indian market. Hero MotoCorp has quietly pulled the brakes on the Mavrick 440, its most premium motorcycle to date. Several dealers across Maharashtra have already stopped taking bookings, and the company has halted all dispatches to showrooms. As per Bikewale, Hero hasn't manufactured or shipped a single unit of the Mavrick 440 in the past three months. Even before that, the bike was struggling to cross triple-digit sales. Why Did It Fail? The Mavrick 440 was built on the same platform as the Harley-Davidson X440 — a bike that has seen far better success in the market. However, where Harley won buyers over, the Mavrick failed to strike a chord. Experts believe that weak marketing campaigns and lacklustre styling played a big part in the bike's downfall. It didn't look premium enough to justify its price tag, and it didn't manage to create the aspirational value that Indian buyers expect from a top-tier motorcycle. But even great performance sometimes isn't enough. Without strong brand positioning or standout looks, the Mavrick couldn't find a loyal customer base. What's Next for Hero MotoCorp? With the Mavrick 440 now off the shelves, Hero may focus on more budget-friendly offerings and rethink its premium strategy. The company might also look at partnerships and better marketing to avoid a similar fate for future launches. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Spotify Users In India Will Have To Spend More On User And Family Plans: What You Pay Now
Last Updated: Spotify plans in India are going up for the first time which means you will need to spend extra every month to listen to music, podcasts and more. Spotify plans in India are now going to cost you more money. The company has changed its pricing in India for the first time since its launch in 2019. The new plans will be revised for users, duo and even the family versions. The platform is looking at ways to manage the overhead costs involved in running the app and also continue to bring new features for its users. These price changes are applicable in markets like the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia-Pacific among others. The basic Spotify individual plan will now cost you Rs 139 per month, which is a Rs 20 hike on the current version. Similarly, the Spotify Duo plan, which allows two people to use one account, now comes at Rs 179 per month, which is a Rs 30 increase on the previous offering. And the family plan has got the biggest hike of Rs 50, which means you need to spend Rs 229 (rather than Rs 179) per month for up to 6 people to use one account. This might be the first time when Spotify has revised plans in India but its free offerings are clearly taking a backseat in the last few years. The platform has reduced the number of features you get with the freemium version that has ads. You even see basic options like repeating a song or playing its lyrics removed from the free tier. Spotify isn't the only streaming platform to make changes to its services in India. YouTube had recently increased the price of the Premium version that gives you ad-free video streaming and access to the YouTube Music app. Spotify is clearly looking to turn the free users into paid subscribers, and in addition to that, the company now wants to increase its revenues from these emerging markets, as the competition looks to build its own streams. We're yet to see the Spotify Hi-Fi version launch in the market, but hopefully that changes in the coming months. view comments First Published: August 05, 2025, 08:17 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
