Global crude oil prices ended their most volatile week of the year close to monthly lows. U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that talks with Iran lasting 21 hours ended without any agreement, adding that he was leaving after presenting what he described as a “final and best offer.”

However, fuel prices for petrol and diesel in India have remained unchanged, as oil companies continue to assess the stability of the situation.

Domestic LPG prices have been revised once, whereas commercial cooking gas rates have been revised twice over the past two months, putting greater financial pressure on restaurants, eateries, and other businesses.
