The government trimmed windfall tax n diesel export to Rs 16 per litre from Rs 20 per litre, while the special additional excise duty tax stood at Rs 0.5 per litre for the next fortnight.

Crude shipments from the region were nearing pre-war levels after Saudi Arabia restored half the capacity of its East-West pipeline, while flows through the Strait of Hormuz climbed to 13.2 million barrels per day. However, markets remain cautious about the durability of the recovery without a lasting agreement to end the Iran war, with both Tehran and Washington claiming full control over the strategic waterway. Meanwhile, Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani said Tehran had received a US proposal regarding the reopening of the strait. Elsewhere, OPEC+ is expected to keep November output quotas unchanged at its meeting this weekend, as per Trading Economics.

As per analysts at Choice Institutional Equities, despite crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz recovering, we view the physical oil market remains significantly tighter than headline flow data suggest. Brent spot prices continue to trade at a premium of $ 20/b to futures, indicating persistent nearterm supply tightness. Based on the spot-futures structure, we estimate the physical market deficit remains at ~8 mbd. A further decline
in Chinese crude imports, the key factor that could narrow this deficit, while additional IEA stock releases could add downward pressure on oil prices.

Earlier this week, Brent crude reached above $108 per barrel and gained by nearly 17% on month-on-month basis.
