RUSSIA

The piece adds that India and Russia’s plans to jointly develop and manufacture helicopters and advanced fighter jets were shelved some time ago, while a separate proposal to lease a nuclear-powered submarine from Russia to train Indian crew is also unlikely to move forward.
  • Oil production in Russia will resume growing in 2025 and increase by 1% to 9.2 million bpd, not including gas condensate, Vedomosti report citing forecasts from VTB. The bank's analysts expect global oil demand to grow by 1%, with the easing of OPEC+ production restrictions also expected to set the stage for Russia to increase output.
  • There are no major data releases or speaker events scheduled for today.
