Iranian sources denied Reuters and Kyodo reports that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen, calling them unreliable and untrue. Earlier reports suggesting Iran‑US negotiations and a possible reopening had pressured the oil market and pushed prices lower.

India has stepped up trade negotiations with Canada and Mexico to diversify commercial ties amid disruption from US President Trump's tariff policies. New Delhi and Ottawa plan a fifth round of talks starting Oct. 5; sources say prior discussions ended last week and a pact could be signed in December during Prime Minister Modi's expected visit. India is also finalising a framework with Mexico to launch formal negotiations, though Mexico's economy ministry says it is still analysing options and no concrete or final proposal exists. Officials aim to speed progress to broaden market access.
