However, the court said TotalEnergies should be given a chance to rectify deficiencies identified, including a failure to properly assess the potential socio-economic impacts of any oil spills, or take climate change into consideration.

U.S. high-frequency trading giant Jane Street, which has been accused of market manipulation by Indian authorities, has deposited $567 million in an escrow account so that it can resume trading.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) barred the firm this month from buying and selling securities in the Indian market and put a freeze on $567 million of its funds. It was only to be allowed to resume trading if an equivalent amount was deposited in an account that gives the regulator rights over the money until its investigation is complete.

The imposition of a levy of 25% on U.S. importers of all goods rattled Wall Street, with the S&P 500 Index knocked back sharply, though markets in Asia were taking the news in their stride.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into the GCC region are expected to slow down in 2025 after a decade of rapid growth, S&P Global Market Intelligence said in its latest outlook report.

The slowdown is attributed to investor uncertainties, reflecting changing US trade policies, lower oil prices, and a more gradual development of GCC diversification projects.

In the near term, the report forecasts a net negative impact on global FDI, primarily due to the indirect repercussions of US tariffs, a weaker oil price outlook and reduced global investor confidence.
