India vs. US: Trade Tensions Heat UpIndia is ready to hit back with $1.91 billion in tariffs on key US goods—like almonds, petrochemicals, and medical devices—if steel and aluminium duties aren't withdrawn by June 8. The trigger? Trump's extension of safeguard duties. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal heads to Washington on May 16 to try and broker a deal. With $7.6B in exports on the line and a 90-day tariff pause set to expire on July 8, India's playing hardball while still betting on a Free Trade Agreement. Airtel's Q4 Rings Loud Bharti Airtel posted a stunning 432% jump in Q4FY25 net profit at ₹11,022 crore, riding high on tariff hikes and a one-time tax gain. Revenue rose 27% to ₹47,876 crore, while ARPU hit ₹245. With 590.5 million users, the company also sealed a satellite internet pact with Elon Musk's Starlink. A ₹16/share final dividend caps off a blockbuster year. Tata's Mixed Drive Tata Motors saw Q4 profit drop 51% YoY to ₹8,470 crore, but FY25 revenue hit a record ₹4.39 lakh crore. JLR's PBT soared to a decade-high £2.5 billion, and Tata's EV arm turned EBITDA positive. Challenges persist in passenger vehicles, but the company remains debt-free and optimistic. A ₹6 dividend and a key Investor Day on June 16 are on the radar. Hero's Global EV Push Hero MotoCorp's FY25 net profit rose 16% to ₹4,610 crore. Exports jumped 44%, and EV sales rocketed 175%, with its Vida brand doubling market share. But rivals like Honda and TVS are growing faster. Hero plans European expansion and is betting big on EVs and new three-wheeler plays via Euler Motors. Cipla Steady Amid Policy Storm Cipla shrugged off US pharma tariff fears and posted a 30% jump in Q4 profit to ₹1,222 crore. FY25 revenue grew 8% to ₹27,548 crore. The US remains key, now forming 29% of revenue, while India remains the long-term play. With GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic going off patent soon, Cipla's gearing up with in-house and partner products for the next leg of growth.
In Episode 98 of Taking It Back, Zak Paine, Adel Nero, and Frankie Val come out swinging with hard-hitting commentary on a week of political and cultural shockwaves. Kicking off with the historic appointment of Cardinal Robert Prevost as the first American pope, the hosts debate whether this is a geopolitical milestone or just another establishment move by a left-leaning Vatican. Frank weighs in with the Catholic perspective, warning that the globalist agenda may now have a new pulpit. The bulk of the episode is a deep dive into the Epstein file chaos. The team breaks down conflicting narratives between James Comer, Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel about whether the infamous files still exist, or have been destroyed. They debate whether Bondi's “tens of thousands of videos” comment refers only to Epstein or hints at a massive blackmail network implicating elites around the world. James O'Keefe's undercover revelation about Prince Andrew adds fuel to the fire, but the guys aren't buying the mainstream hype, they want names, arrests, and real accountability. With frustration building online, the hosts sound off on the wave of blackpilled pessimism plaguing the movement, pointing fingers at coordinated demoralization ops designed to erode faith and momentum. They call for discernment, unity, and a long-view approach to justice, while reminding listeners to stay sharp and stay engaged. The episode wraps with coverage of Trump's $6B trade win with the UK, how tariffs are reshaping America's leverage, and what it will take to make these wins permanent. Smart, sarcastic, and no-holds-barred, Taking It Back once again pulls no punches in the fight for truth.

One of the major changes we have seen globally in recent years along the clean energy supply chain is the willingness of governments in countries like China, the US, and the EU to jumpstart funding for projects through investment or production tax credits or grants and loans. The Trump Administration has thrown some of this into doubt with a reshuffling of priorities and threats to somehow cancel or rewrite legislation such as the Inflation Reduction Act.My guest today provides a clear-headed view on the need for funding and how to navigate the increasingly rocky seas as the race for green energy dominance accelerates. Ashley Zumwalt-Forbes has a varied and deep history in both the public and private sectors and most recently worked in the Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains Office (MESC) in the Department of Energy where she served as the Deputy Director for Batteries and Critical Materials. While there, she oversaw the deployment of ~$6B in non-dilutive equity and ~$10B in tax credits into the US battery supply chain during the Biden Administration. She is currently Principal at Smoketree Advisors.If you liked today's pod on policy, please let me know. I'm on Twitter/X @cberry1 and also find me on Linked In.

Japan saw modest market recovery, a $3.3B buyout of Mitsubishi Tanabe, and lighter licensing activity. Early-stage financings picked up as investors re-engaged. China shifted from IPO optimism to global deal-making as markets cooled. Notable trends included strong out-licensing ($17.6B), AstraZeneca's $2.5B investment, and Ascentage's NASDAQ debut backed by Takeda. Venture activity rebounded, driven by insider-led late-stage rounds. Korea drew attention with Orum's IPO, early-stage deals, and a growing focus on CDMO by major players.Listen now to gain insights into the evolving global biopharma landscape, explore our report, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss its contents with you.

In this interview with AGORACOM, Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE: RFR | OTCQB: RFHRF | FSE: 9RR) CEO Nicole Brewster discusses the company's newly updated 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100%-owned Parbec Gold Deposit in Quebec — a move that significantly strengthens the company's value proposition at a time when gold prices continue to surge.The updated estimate now totals 363,000 ounces of gold, marking a 29% increase over the previous figure and signaling growing maturity and confidence in the deposit. Notably, 265,000 ounces are now categorized as Measured and Indicated, and 87% of the total resource sits within an open pit — directly adjacent to Agnico Eagle's Canadian Malartic Mine, one of Canada's largest gold operations.KEY HIGHLIGHTS:Open Pit Advantage: With mineralization starting at surface and a pit depth of 300 meters, Parbec's economics are compelling, especially with nearby toll milling options.Strategic Fit for Agnico: The project's location beside Canadian Malartic and proximity to multiple mills makes it a potential solution for Agnico Eagle's "fill-the-mill" strategy — especially amid $5.6B in M&A activity in the district.Clear Monetization Path: CEO Nicole Brewster outlines a three-path strategy: sale, joint venture, or self-development, including a plan to initiate stripping and bulk sampling this summer for potential cash flow.A COMPELLING QUOTE FROM THE CEO“We are very happy to deliver this significant size increase to our open pit gold deposit next door to Agnico Eagle's Canadian Malartic mine… With this MRE, 87% of the gold ounces within the resource estimate are contained within the accompanying open pit.” — Nicole Brewster, CEOWHY INVESTORS SHOULD WATCH THIS INTERVIEW Renforth has done what many small caps struggle to achieve: increase its resource size while also upgrading confidence categories — all while controlling costs and maintaining 100% ownership in one of the world's top-ranked mining jurisdictions. With strategic positioning next to Canada's mining giant, viable paths to monetization, and growing relevance in a high-gold-price environment, Parbec is moving from potential to probability.This interview isn't just an update — it's a real-time look into how Renforth is strategically unlocking value from its assets and evaluating serious next steps.Watch the full interview now to understand why Renforth could be a key player in Quebec's next wave of gold development

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1009: Today we sit with COO of Matthews Auto Group Vincent Salvagni to discuss the question on every Dealer's mind; What should I be doing with my inventory level? As consumers rush to beat tariffs, Dealers are worried about overpaying for replacement inventory and getting stuck holding the bag when things normalize. We also talk about Nissan delaying production cuts at its Smyrna, TN plant and Carvana's approach to the tariff headwinds. Show Notes with links:Nissan's plans to cut a production shift at its Smyrna, TN plant have been reversed thanks to new U.S. tariffs on imported vehicles. The automaker is prioritizing domestic output to avoid hefty import duties.Nissan initially planned to end a shift at Smyrna as part of a 9,000-job global cut.Keeping U.S. production high avoids tariffs on Japanese-made Rogues, which made up over a third of 2024 U.S. Rogue sales.Workers had already been offered buyouts; Nissan hasn't confirmed how many accepted.“It could mean saving jobs or it could be hiring people,” said a Nissan spokesperson.Carvana is stepping into the tariff era with confidence, positioning itself to capture increased used-car demand as new vehicle prices rise. After turbulent years marked by overestimation and investor skepticism, the company has streamlined operations and could now benefit from changing consumer habits.New 25% tariffs on imported vehicles may steer price-conscious buyers to the used market.Analysts expect an initial bump in used-car sales, especially from buyers priced out of new models.Carvana has reined in costs, insourced inspections, and restructured debt, improving operational health.Despite holding $5.6B in debt, the company is now generating enough cash to begin self-financing.“We're in a much stronger position than we were 3–4 years ago,” said CFO Mark JenkinsJoin hosts Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1002: Today's show dives into Trump's game-changing 25% auto tariff and what it means for car prices, Hyundai's massive new EV plant in Georgia and OpenAI's latest AI breakthrough in image and text generation.Show Notes with links:President Trump has officially imposed a 25% tariff on vehicles built outside the U.S., effective April 3. The move is set to rattle the global auto supply chain and could result in major price hikes for consumers.The tariff increases from a 2.5% base to 25%, covering vehicles and some auto parts like engines and transmissions.Parts meeting the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) rules will get a temporary reprieve until the Commerce Department sets new regulations.Aaron Bragman of Cars.com said that 50% of all cars are imported from outside the US and encouraged potential buyers to act soon as prices could rise from $3K - $12K “If you need a new car, go get one as soon as you possibly can—lock in a price—because those prices might be going up very soon.”Manufacturers may shift production and pass higher costs to consumers and dealers, while retaliatory tariffs loom from other nations.UAW President Shawn Fain called it a victory for autoworkers, saying “Ending the race to the bottom in the auto industry starts with fixing our broken trade deals.”Hyundai has officially opened its state-of-the-art EV plant in Georgia, marking a historic $7.6 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing. The facility will produce Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis electric vehicles, including the much-anticipated IONIQ 9.Hyundai's project is Georgia's largest economic development investment ever, expected to create 8,500 direct jobs and over 58,000 total jobs.The 2025 IONIQ 5 was the first model built at the plant, with the three-row IONIQ 9 set to debut this spring.Hyundai recently announced a $21B investment in U.S. production, including $9B for EV expansion and $6B for a new steel plant in Louisiana.Hyundai Motor Group executive chair Euisun Chung said, “Together with the talented workforce at HMGMA, we are building the future of mobility with America, in America.”OpenAI is rolling out built-in image generation within ChatGPT, marking a big leap in AI-powered creativity. Dubbed “Images in ChatGPT”, this feature is available starting today across multiple user tiers.Users can now generate images directly within ChatGPT using GPT-4o's “omnimodal” technology.New enhancements improve “binding”, meaning the AI better understands object relationships and attributes—avoiding mix-ups like miscolored shapes.Unlike past models that produced garbled, misspelled words, GPT-4o can now render clean, legible text in images.The AI now accurately follows detailed text-based prompts, even replicating whiteboard notes and comic strip text.Research lead Gabriel Goh calls it a “step change above previous models”, with improved precision in rendering complex promptHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

In this episode of the Healthcare Plus Podcast, Quint Studer welcomes Regina Shupe, DNP, RN, and Jennifer Carron Passon, MSOM, CPXP, for a conversation focused on patient experience. Quint, Regina, and Jennifer explore the “patient experience” concept, which has evolved tremendously over the past few decades. Now it encompasses the sum of all interactions from the initial touchpoint when a patient even considers selecting a healthcare organization until the time that they are back home caring for themselves and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. (It's interesting to hear Quint, who has been described as putting patient experience “on the map,” open the discussion with his own history lesson on the field.) They also discuss a 2021 JAMA article—“Criterion-Based Measurements of Patient Experience in Health Care: Eliminating Winners and Losers to Create a New Moral Ethos” by Thom Mayer, Arjun Venkatesh, and Donald M. Berwick—debating the pros and cons of moving away from traditional percentile-based evaluations.Finally, they offer a wealth of takeaways. Listeners will learn from the thoughtful discussion of common barriers people face when working to improve the patient experience and some practical (and doable) tips for overcoming them. About Jennifer Carron Passon, MSOM, CPXPWith 30 years of leadership experience and a Certified Patient Experience Professional (CPXP) credential, Jennifer is a patient experience officer at BJC Health System, a $6B integrated academic health system that serves millions of patients and families across the Midwest.

She uses her Disney Institute training and contemporary thinking to design and deploy innovative interventions and digitally enhanced programs that elevate service excellence, hospitality, ownership, and regulatory results. She also contributes to various state-level and global initiatives that aim to advance patient and family engagement, equity and inclusion, and quality and safety in healthcare delivery.

Are You Missing Out on the Senior Housing Investment Boom?
On this episode of the podcast, South Carolina Congressman Ralph Norman discusses the 99-page funding bill, as well as Elon Musk's role in exposing more than $154B in waste from the USAID agency, with a total of $105B in savings for every taxpayer. Congressman Norman praised Musk's efforts and called for a recission package drafted and passed by Congress to cut unnecessary spending. He highlighted the clean CR that continues funding at 2024 levels, with a $6B increase in defense and $13B cut in non-defense discretionary spending. Norman mentioned President Trump's strategic Bitcoin reserve but explains that there is a need for regulation to prevent fraud. He further criticized the Democrats for their lack of empathy and called for a return to core American values.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
