Lebanon's Health Ministry says Israeli attacks have killed 2,883 people and injured 8,787 since March 2. The toll adds pressure on diplomatic efforts as President Trump travels to China with Iran tensions already shaping the regional agenda.
President Trump is travelling to China to meet President Xi Jinping, with the visit serving as a gauge of where the bilateral relationship stands. The outcome could move markets sensitive to U.S.-China trade, tariffs, and technology policy.
The US paused Project Freedom, its Strait of Hormuz escort operation, after Saudi Arabia reportedly withdrew base and airspace access over the surprise announcement. Riyadh denied the account, but conflicting statements from US officials and a Middle Eastern diplomat point to a real coordination breakdown.
India's industrial output grew 4.1% in March, slowing from 5.2% in February but still beating analyst estimates. Geopolitical tensions linked to Iran weighed on sentiment, though the above-forecast print signals underlying resilience in domestic industrial activity.
The U.S. economy expanded at a 2% annualized rate in the first quarter of 2025, a step down from recent growth levels. Rising tensions with Iran threaten to push oil prices higher, which could drag on consumer spending and business costs in the months ahead.
India's Nifty 50 fell below 24,300 at Monday's open after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again, reigniting crude oil supply fears. The move hits India acutely as a major oil importer, threatening its current account balance, rupee stability, and corporate margins across energy-intensive sectors.
