India has asked state-run energy companies to evaluate the possibility of buying European oil major BP’s stake in sanctions-hit Russian firm Rosneft, two people familiar with the matter said.

Facebook-owner Meta Platforms Inc (FB.O) is expected to report its slowest quarterly ad revenue growth in a decade on Wednesday, as businesses pull back on ad spending against the backdrop of soaring inflation worldwide and the war in Ukraine. Global advertising and marketing budgets will be strained further if the Ukraine crisis drags on in the coming months, with some analysts predicting that Meta will also issue a tepid forecast for the current quarter. Meta’s ad revenue is expected to have grown 8.7% in the first quarter, according to Refinitiv data, the slowest since 2012, when the company went public. Wall Street analysts also said Facebook could be losing its grip on the global ad market even as digital advertising surpasses traditional methods. “The predictions by Meta for a slowdown could be read as a reduction in Facebook’s brand potency as well,” Hargreaves Lansdown analyst Sophie Lund-Yates said.
