Mangalore (MRPL) shares climbed sharply after officials confirmed that a sanctioned Russian tanker is heading to Mangalore. The stock touched ₹200.58 on Friday, reflecting an 8.5% rise from the previous close of ₹184.78. The rally followed confirmation that the tanker Aqua Titan will arrive at New Mangalore port on March 21.

MRPL Shares Rally On Tanker Confirmation

MRPL shares gained momentum after a senior government official confirmed the vessel’s destination. The stock traded at ₹196.75 later in the session, posting an 8.8% gain over five trading days. Traders reacted quickly as the news clarified the tanker’s route and cargo details.

Rakesh Kumar Sinha, Special Secretary in the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways, confirmed the tanker’s movement. He said the Aqua Titan is headed to India carrying crude oil. Earlier, officials had stated that they did not know of the vessel’s diversion.

The tanker carried Russia’s Urals crude and had initially sailed toward China. However, it changed course in Southeast Asian waters and redirected toward India. The vessel is now expected to dock at the New Mangalore port on Saturday.

Sanctioned Vessel Changes Course

Australia sanctioned Aqua Titan in June along with 59 other vessels. The Australian government said the ships used deceptive practices such as flag-hopping and disabling tracking systems. The U.K., Canada, the European Union, and Ukraine also sanctioned the tanker.

The United States had earlier imposed 25% tariffs on India for purchasing Russian crude oil. However, President Donald Trump revoked the tariffs after the United States and India signed an interim trade agreement.

The Aqua Titan rerouted to India after the United States allowed imports of Russian crude for 30 days. Officials confirmed that the tanker secured a charter from MRPL before changing course. The vessel’s expected arrival on March 21 now stands as the latest confirmed development in the transaction.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy.

Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
