KPLER estimates Asia's crude imports will rise to about 22.18 mln bpd in June from 20.35 mln bpd in May, still below the pre‑Feb. 28 attack three‑month average of 26.76 mln bpd. June volumes are well above April's eight‑year low of 18.77 mln bpd, when the Strait of Hormuz was effectively shut. KPLER said refined‑product supply remains constrained and that restoration of roughly 20% of pre‑conflict global flows through the Strait could bring additional oil to Asia in July, a tightening likely to be reflected in prices.

Alphabet (GOOG.O) shares fell on Monday after DeepMind vice president John Jumper said over the weekend he will leave to join Anthropic, sending the stock down as much as 7.2% intraday — its largest intraday drop since February.

Jumper, a core member of Google's AI programming team, received the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for AI-related research.
