Asia is highly exposed to the Iran War energy shock: The Philippines and Vietnam source ~95% and ~90% of their crude oil imports from the Middle East. This is followed by Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand, each importing ~70% from the region. India and China, the two largest oil buyers in Asia, rely on the Middle East for ~55% and ~50% of their crude imports, respectively. By contrast, EMEA nations like Turkey, South Africa, Tunisia, and Central and Eastern Europe import less than 20% of their oil from the region. Asia's energy crisis is rapidly accelerating.

Iran USA agreement

Absolutely incredible: The US 20Y Note Yield is now back to 5.00% less than 24 hours after President Trump said peace talks were underway. The threat of 7% mortgages and $4.00 gas prices has become reality. Bond markets say this war is unsustainable.

5-day ceasefire! #DonaldTrump #USIranwar @DainikBhaskar cartoon.

India’s economic activity slowed in March, with manufacturing slumping to its lowest in nearly 4.5 years, a flash survey by HSBC showed bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

You ‘dealt with’ Covid by giving India its worst GDP collapse in four decades and then bragging about the rebound off that crater as if it were V‑shaped genius, not an arithmetic base effect. You now have an 8–9% jobless economy where unemployment has risen again post-pandemic, but we’re supposed to clap because a slogan about ‘Team India’ was read off the teleprompter.” “The same regime that presided over millions of excess deaths and a WHO estimate of roughly 4–5 million Covid fatalities now wants a bravery medal for ‘handling’ the crisis. This ‘big test for Team India’ line is rich when the top 1% walks away with over 40% of the country’s wealth, the bottom half fights for gig work and rations, and every new shock is sold as yet another opportunity for photo ops and headline management rather than serious reform.

The crisis might be big, but the Indian economy should grow for which reforms needed to be taken. This is a big test for team India. We dealt with the Covid crisis, we can deal with this too: PM Modi

Instagram‑guru gyaan 101: in the real world, bear markets don’t ‘make you rich’, they get you fired, blow up your margin, force redemptions and make you sell size exactly at the lows just to survive. The average investor doesn’t ‘patiently accumulate’ through a 30–50% drawdown, they panic, de‑risk or are forced out, and then buy back higher once the same joker posts ‘new bull market’ reels again.” “The line ‘bear markets don’t destroy wealth, they transfer it’ is accidentally honest: crashes mainly transfer money from over‑leveraged retail and weak businesses to cash‑rich funds, insiders and already‑wealthy players who can actually sit through 3–5 ugly years. For 90% of people, a bear market is not some spiritual wealth‑creation yoga camp, it’s a brutal reminder that sequence of returns, job loss and forced selling matter more than motivational captions.

Bull markets make you feel good. Bear markets make you rich... When everyone is worried, opportunities are born. Bear markets don’t destroy wealth… they transfer it to the patient.

This is WhatsApp‑University energy math. The joke starts with the first sentence: 50% ethanol blending has never been implemented at scale anywhere in the world for a modern vehicle fleet, for very basic engineering and scientific reasons. Engines, fuel systems, storage, distribution, and even crop patterns would have to be redesigned; you don’t just wake up one morning and pour half‑spirit, half‑petrol into an E10 tank and declare yourself energy‑independent. Even if you somehow did it, it would only touch the petrol slice, not diesel, ATF, LPG, or petrochemicals, or the fact that India produces barely 10–15% of its total oil needs and imports the rest. Russia supplying around 40% of our crude imports does not magically make us ‘40% self‑reliant’ when every one of those barrels still has to squeeze through a closed Hormuz. You don’t become ‘literally unaffected’ by a global oil shock because you diluted one fuel with sugarcane; you’re still an 85–90% import-dependent economy praying your sea lane and currency hold.

Imagine if we were following 50% Ethanol blending, we would be literally unaffected from this war. Because 10% of Crude oil is produced in India and rest 40% we had arranged from Russia. Self dependency is very important in this Dynamic world.

Modi's calling for de‑escalation and opening Hormuz would be funny if it weren’t tragic. A man with zero diplomatic standing beyond his own godi media bubble is essentially talking to himself; the serious conversations about this war and that chokepoint are happening in capitals that no longer bother to take him seriously.

WE CALL FOR DE-ESCALATION, & OPENING OF HORMUZ WITH LEADERS OF WEST ASIA: PM MODI

Now we’re being told that India’s GDP growth could take a 4% hit this year due to the West Asian war – something the government’s lack of strategic planning has only made worse. This comes on top of reports that the Modi government has already overstated growth by 1.5% over the 2013–2023 decade. At this point, empty chairs might serve the Indian economy better than this government. After all, it’s better to have no doctor than to have a bad one.
