This has already failed, and Trump calls out Carney.EU economy is weak and it is getting weaker, there are two paths, one that follows the [CB] agenda the other is Trump economic agenda. Inflation declines again, Gold and Silver are up, Trump’s plan is working, its time to end the endless.The [DS] is now calling for the insurgency to accelerate. Clinton and Obama are now calling on their foot soldiers to push the insurrection against Trump. Trump has put a message to all D’s, lets work together, the optics are very good, the D’s will do this for a short period of time but in the end they will push the insurrection. Once they do this, they lost the people. Timing and optics are very important. Economy Carney Cracks: Canada Has ‘No Intention’ Of Pursuing Free Trade Deal With China After Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs To review: right before Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney returned from a trip to Beijing and announced a new 5-point ‘strategic partnership’ to ‘diversify our trade partnerships.’ The agreements included slashing tariffs on Chinese EV imports from 100 percent to 6.1 percent for the first 49,000 units, in exchange for China cutting tariffs on Canadian canola from 85 percent to 15 percent until at least the end of the year. Other exports, including Canadian canola meal, lobsters, crabs, and peas will also not be subject to Chinese anti-discrimination tariffs until at least the end of 2026. A week later, Carney told the global elite at Davos resort that the “rules-based order” established by the United States and its allies following WW2 was fraying amid the current rivalry between China and America, so the “middle powers must act together because if we’re not on the table, we’re on the menu.” Carney said that for their survival, nations should no longer “go along to get along” with Trump. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada has “no intention” of pursuing a free trade deal with China, after Donald Trump threatened to slap a 100% tariff on Canadian exports if Ottawa “makes a deal” with Beijing. Source: zerohedge.com Trump Is Right About Europe's Weak Economy: U.S. vs. EU Compared President Trump argued that Europe's economic stagnation is the result of a self-inflicted “civilizational erasure” driven by reliance on what he calls the “Green New Scam,” which he says has replaced affordable energy with costly and unreliable wind power. He further asserted that unchecked mass migration has strained social infrastructure and altered the continent's cultural identity, while a stifling regulatory environment and excessive government spending have suppressed the innovation needed to compete with the United States. Finally, he accused European nations of freeloading on American security, arguing that their failure to meet NATO defense spending targets over the past 70 years has allowed them to avoid the true costs of national sovereignty at the expense of the American taxpayer. Based on current economic data as of January 2026, the comparison supports Trump's critique. While the United States is experiencing aggressive growth alongside widespread deregulation, Europe remains mired in what can best be described as stabilized stagnation. The United States enters 2026 with inflation at 2.7%, steadily returning toward the 2% target. As in President Trump's first term, strong GDP growth has been paired with relatively modest inflation. Fourth-quarter GDP growth is projected at 5.4%, dwarfing Europe's stagnant 0.2%. For the full year, U.S. growth is expected to reach between 4.3% and 5%, while Europe is projected to manage only about 1.3% to 1.6%. On the labor front, the United States maintains its historical advantage, with unemployment at 4.4% compared to 6.3% in the Eurozone. This low level of unemployment has been achieved despite deep government job cuts that reduced taxpayer costs. While the United States reduced federal spending by $100 billion, European fiscal policy has moved in the opposite direction. The U.S. has moved 1.2 million people off food stamps, while European social safety nets are coming under increased strain from rising living costs. In 2024, the most recent data available, EU social protection spending rose by 7%, far outpacing nominal GDP growth. This imbalance pushed the social expenditure-to-GDP ratio to 27.3% across the bloc, with countries such as France and Austria exceeding 31%, reinforcing the strain caused by rising demand for social welfare. Energy remains far cheaper in the United States, particularly electricity and natural gas, due to abundant domestic production, lower taxes and levies, and reduced reliance on imports, with overall prices about half of Europe's and industrial electricity often as little as one-third.

More LNG, more U.S. gas, more renewables… Higher costs baked in. For Brussels this is an irreversible line. After 2027, there's no “going back to normal.” The EU has indeed been importing refined petroleum products from India that originate from Russian crude oil, creating an indirect pathway for Russian oil to enter the European market despite sanctions on direct imports from Russia since December 2022. This circumvention became prominent after the EU and G7 imposed a price cap on Russian oil, prompting Russia to redirect exports to countries like India and China, where the crude is refined and then resold. EU officials and analysts have long acknowledged the loophole, which is why recent sanctions packages have targeted it directly. For instance, the EU’s 18th sanctions package in July 2025 banned the import of petroleum products derived from Russian crude processed in third countries, and specifically sanctioned Nayara Energy, an Indian refinery partly owned by Russia’s Rosneft. The 19th package in October 2025 further tightened measures by sanctioning additional third-country entities, including three in India, for supporting Russia’s circumvention efforts. As a result, major Indian refiners like Reliance Industries have stopped importing Russian crude for certain facilities to comply with these rules and maintain access to EU markets. Russia, meanwhile, continues to adapt by using new middlemen exporters to supply India, aiming to sustain the flow despite the crackdown. India has not fully stopped importing Russian oil since then, but imports have significantly declined. In 2025, Russia’s share of India’s crude oil imports fell to 33.3% from 36% the previous year, while OPEC’s share rose slightly to 50%. By December 2025, India dropped to the third-largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels overall, importing €2.3 billion worth that month, with major refiners like Reliance Industries scaling back or halting purchases. This reduction appears driven by a mix of U.S. tariff pressures, steeper discounts on Russian crude drawing buyers back selectively, and India’s strategic diversification to ensure energy security without fully alienating Russia—a key defense and trade partner. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2015527595975033161?s=20 the CMC Joint Staff Dept: Under investigation for violations 5. Director of CMC Political Work Dept: Removed in 2025 over corruption The US-China rivalry has gone well beyond trade. The purges depicted in the image of China’s Central Military Commission (CMC) stem from an escalating anti-corruption campaign under Xi Jinping, which has targeted the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) extensively since 2023. This drive is officially framed as rooting out graft, bribery, and disciplinary violations, but analysts widely interpret it as a mechanism for Xi to consolidate power, enforce unwavering loyalty among military leaders, and address systemic issues like incompetence or factional rivalries that could undermine PLA readiness. The campaign has intensified in 2025-2026, affecting nearly the entire top echelon of the CMC—China’s highest military decision-making body, chaired by Xi himself—leaving it in significant disarray War/Peace Report: Iran's Khamenei Flees to ‘Fortified' Bunker, Fearing U.S. Strike Following rising concerns over a possible U.S. military strike, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has relocated to a heavily fortified underground compound in Tehran, according to reports, which cited sources close to the regime who revealed his son now oversees day-to-day operations.

In the filing, Ellison and the other AGs expressed support for banning the possession of firearms “in crowded places.” The AGs wrote: “Without the power to institute such restrictions, California and other states would be left unable effectively to prevent gun violence in crowded places, around vulnerable populations, or where individuals are exercising other constitutionally protected rights, putting the public at risk.” They emphasized, “Even the perceived risk of gun violence could cause repercussions, as individuals may be discouraged from visiting crowded or confined locations where they know others may be armed.” Source: breitbart.com https://twitter.com/BillClinton/status/2015562744993350135?s=20 Didn’t Bill and Hiliary Violate a Supeona to testify in front of congress, they broke the law, shouldn’t he be in jail.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Earnings Tsunami Incoming The Q1 FY26 earnings season has officially begun, with Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank leading the charge. Over 95 major companies are set to report their numbers this week, covering sectors like tech, pharma, infra, and finance. “Markets will first react to Reliance, HDFC Bank, and ICICI Bank,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP, Religare Broking.

With large and midcaps on center stage, investor sentiment could shift fast. $44M Crypto Hack Hits CoinDCX India's leading crypto exchange CoinDCX has confirmed a $44 million security breach, after hackers compromised an internal liquidity account over the weekend. Co-founder Sumit Gupta said customer wallets remain safe and losses will be fully covered by treasury reserves. Trading was briefly paused but services are now live. The company is also launching a bug bounty program and working with cybersecurity partners to trace the stolen assets. This breach follows last year's WazirX hack worth $230M, adding urgency ahead of India's first crypto policy paper, expected this month. EU Sanctions Nayara Refinery, Rosneft Hits Back The European Union has sanctioned Nayara Energy's refinery in Vadinar, Gujarat, drawing sharp condemnation from Rosneft, which owns a 49% stake. Rosneft called the move “unjustified and illegal,” warning it could undermine India's energy security and hurt the economy. It emphasized that Nayara is a locally governed and taxed Indian entity, with profits reinvested in the country. India's Ministry of External Affairs responded firmly: “We do not recognize unilateral sanctions. There should be no double standards, especially in energy trade,” said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal. The EU also slashed the Russian oil price cap to $47.6/barrel and clamped down on “shadow fleet” ships—efforts to reduce Moscow's wartime revenue. Iran-EU Nuclear Talks Back On In a diplomatic shift, Iran has agreed to restart nuclear talks with the UK, France, and Germany—collectively known as the E3. Deputy foreign ministers will meet Friday, separate from any talks with the US. These nations were part of the original 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA), which the US exited in 2018. Talks have remained frozen since an Israeli airstrike in June disrupted a round of Oman-mediated negotiations. Iran is demanding security guarantees after joint US-Israel strikes targeted its nuclear infrastructure. While expectations are low, any movement is seen as a sign of thaw in an otherwise tense region. Honda Hits the Brakes on ABS Deadline With a January 2026 deadline approaching for mandatory ABS (anti-lock braking systems) on all two-wheelers, Honda Motorcycles has joined Hero MotoCorp in raising red flags. “Cost is one issue. But the real concern is supply chain readiness,” said Yogesh Mathur of Honda. Currently, only bikes above 125cc require ABS. The new norms would impact 84% of the two-wheeler market, adding ₹3,000–₹5,000 per unit in cost. 70% of key ABS parts—like ECUs and sensors—are still imported, mostly from China and ASEAN nations. Industry body SIAM has asked the government to push the deadline, but the Ministry remains firm, citing India's high road fatality rate. Analysts say the domestic ABS market could grow 5X to ₹80,000 crore, though full localization may take up to 18 months. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 2021, Ashni and Avni Bayani, the scions of industrialist Kishore Biyani's Future Group, launched their own venture – a startup studio called Think 9 Consumer Technologies.The concept was simple – they would incubate new brands across categories like apparel, beauty, health and wellness and food; and then use common teams for marketing, technology and even product development.Why? Well, according to an executive from the startup studio, the end goal is to be able to build them into sizable businesses in 5-7 years and then exit. It's called the roll-up modelled and it was pioneered by a US-based consumer good company called Thrasio. For the Bayani sisters, this isn't just another venture. It's a full blown comeback. You see around the time they launched Think9 Consumer Technologies, their father's business empire – the Future Group – was falling apart. It eventually went bankrupt in 2022 and sold everything lock, stock and barrel to Reliance Industries. So the sisters have a point to prove. But unfortunately not everything is working in their favour. For starters the roll up model they based their business on has been stuttering for some time now. Remember Thrasio? Well it filed for bankruptcy just last year. Tune in. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

In this episode of Market Minutes, Zoya Springwala talks about the key factors to watch out for today before the domestic market opens. The results of Axis Bank, Infosys and Reliance Industries are expected to give the markets directional cues today, as all three firms are Nifty 50 heavyweights.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top news developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of January 17 -Today's market moves will be determined by the Street's reaction to Reliance and Infosys Q3 earnings. -In the previous session, Nifty's winning streak extended into a third consecutive session, though uncertainty persists as the index continues to trade within a limited range. Despite some selling pressure at higher levels after the gap-up opening, the Nifty 50 managed to close above the critical 23,300 resistance level. -Today, market attention will shift to earnings reports from Tech Mahindra, Wipro, and SBI Life. Another key factor will be the market's reaction to Reliance Industries' results. The company delivered a strong quarter, with EBITDA rising 12% quarter-on-quarter versus estimates of 8%, driven by its O2C and Retail segments, while the Telecom and Oil & Gas businesses performed in line with expectations. Additionally, Infosys, Axis Bank, LTIMindtree, and Havells, which released their earnings after market hours on Thursday, will influence Friday's trading sentiment. -According to Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities, the short-term trend of Nifty is positive but the market is lacking its strength to witness sharp upside breakouts of the hurdle. -This morning the GIFT Nifty was lower, trading at a discount of more than 50 points from Nifty Futures Thursday close, indicating a start in the red for the Indian market. -Asian stocks dropped as traders prepared for a swath of Chinese data scheduled Friday including fourth-quarter growth. -Shares in Japan fell as the yen largely held onto gains from earlier in the week, while those in Australia fluctuated. The downward start in Asia comes as a global risk rally this week, fueled by traders re-adjusting Federal Reserve interest rate cut bets following Wednesday's benign inflation data, loses steam. The focus will now shift to official Chinese data due Friday that is likely to show the world's second-largest economy failed to break a deflationary cycle last year. -In the overnight session, benchmark indices on Wall Street took a pause after a three-day rally owing to pressure in shares of big tech. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 fell 0.2% each, but the Nasdaq underperformed, declining 0.9% due to pressure in shares of Apple, Tesla, Nvidia and Alphabet, all of which fell between 1% to 4%. Apple had its worst day since August last year. -In commodities, oil edged higher after a 1.7% drop on Thursday, retreating from a five-month high as the market adjusts to new sanctions on Russian crude and digested mixed signals from President-elect Donald Trump on his intent to uphold the measures. Crude is on track to gain for a fourth week in a row. Gold is set for a third straight week of advances. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more
Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of January 16 -It's an earnings heavy day today with Infosys, Reliance Industries, Axis Bank and LTI Mindtree set to report third quarter results. These earnings could provide directional cues for the market. -Today's session will also include the weekly expiry of Nifty 50 options contracts. Additionally, stocks like L&T Technology Services (LTTS), HDFC Life, and Transrail Lighting are expected to react to their quarterly results announced after market hours on Wednesday. -After Nifty managed to hold above the 23,200 level despite the volatility in the market yesterday, Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking said that the market seems to be pausing as recovery attempts face resistance, though select heavyweight stocks are limiting the downside. -This morning, the GIFT Nifty was higher, trading at a premium of more than 100 pts from Nifty Futures Wednesday close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market. -On the global front, the US CPI data (released on Wednesday) and the US retail sales data due today are expected to act as significant triggers, alongside ongoing Q3 earnings announcements. -Shares in Asia followed Wall Street higher as easing US core inflation kept alive the prospect of Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. Benchmarks in Australia, Japan and South Korea all notched gains. The S&P 500 closed Wednesday 1.8% higher, the benchmark's best day since the November election, which erased its 2025 decline. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 climbed 2.3%. -Oil extended a powerful early-year advance on mounting risks to global supplies, and as commercial crude inventories in the US posted their longest run of declines since 2021. Gold slipped after climbing in the previous two sessions. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more cues

阅读原文:�标题 What a $600m wedding says about India's attitude to wealthThe Ambani nuptials enticedeveryone from Justin Bieber and Shah Rukh Khan to John Kerry正文 When Beyoncé performed at a pre-wedding party for Isha Ambani in 2018, India was agog. Merely receiving an invitation conferred bragging rights on status-obsessed business leaders and politicians. The cost of the nuptials,with countless ancillary events, was said to be in excess of $100m. That is a staggering sum for almost anyone—but not the Ambani family, which owns a controlling interest in Reliance Industries, the country's most valuable company, dominating everything from telecoms to oil refining. Despite some anti-rich finger-wagging, many Indians appear to have viewed the event, which even the maharajas of yore would envy, as evidence that India—and Indian business—could once again glitter.�知识点 agog adj. /əˈɡɑːɡ/excited and eager to know or see more 极度兴奋的;兴奋期待的,急切的• We waited agog for news.我们渴盼得到⾳信。获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记,请关注微信公众号「早安英文」,回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你!
I'll take a greedy, self centered, reprobate, disgusting bastard for 500 Alex. This Indian business man threw a $325 million wedding for his son. Who is Mukesh Ambani?In case you don't know, let me explain the wedding. Anant Ambani is the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani, a business tycoon who runs Reliance Industries which has interests in petrochemicals, oil and gas, telecom, retail and financial services. . His net worth is more than $123 billion. Mukesh inherited this business from his father, who started the company in 1966. It's a while trickle down nepo baby economics thing going on there. Because they just need to affirm the status (or, I suspect, have small tallywhackers) felt the need to throw a wedding that cost $325 million and lasted 6 months. That's right, the festivities have been going on since March.***You can check out Ladies Love Politics website to read a transcript/references of this episode at www.ladieslovepolitics.com.Be sure to follow the Ladies Love Politics channel on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Truth Social, Brighteon Social, Threads, and Twitter.Background Music Credit:Music: Hang for Days - Silent Partner https://youtu.be/A41A0XeU2ds
This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.It's the 23rd of May and here are today's headlines.Tensions flared in Nandigram in West Bengal's Purba Medinipur district today. Hours after a woman worker of the BJP was killed and seven others were injured after being attacked on Wednesday night, days before the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections in the state. As the BJP took to the streets in protest today by torching shops and blocking roads using trees and setting them on fire, security was beefed up with Rapid Action Force and central forces being deployed, apart from the police.A senior Kolkata police officer said that the initial probe into the “murder” of Bangladesh MP Anwarul Azim Anar revealed that one of his friends had paid around Rs 5 crore to kill the neighbouring country's parliamentarian. Anar, who went missing in Kolkata since 13th of May, was found murdered and three people have been arrested, Bangladesh Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan had said on Wednesday. The West Bengal Police had said investigation of the case has been taken up by the state CID.Recent heavy showers have caused significant destruction in Kerala, and resulted in at least four deaths. The India Meteorological Department has issued an orange alert for Ernakulam, Thrissur, Idukki, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode, and Wayanad districts today. With heavy rainfall forecast, the weather department has also issued a yellow alert for Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha, Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Kannur and Kasargod districts. An ‘orange' alert is an indication to be prepared and warns of waterlogging and major traffic disruptions.Frontline equity index NSE Nifty 50 hit an all-time high of 22,880.55, going past the previous mark of 22,794. 30-share BSE Sensex, along similar lines, is trading 873.12 points, or 1.19 per cent higher, at 75,061.74 points.Among the Sensex firms, Asian Paints, Axis Bank, State Bank of India, Larsen & Toubro, Reliance Industries, Wipro, Titan and Bharti Airtel were the major gainers. On the other hand, Sun Pharma, JSW Steel, Power Grid, and Tata Steel were the laggards.Norway said it will further tighten its restrictions on the entry of people from Russia. It further stated that those with tourist visas issued by Norway before regulations were tightened in 2022 or issued by another European country will be barred from entering the Scandinavian country as of next week. Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl said the tightening was a response to “Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine.” Norway has a 198-kilometer (123-mile) -long border with Russia in the Arctic.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.
Emerging markets have sometimes promised more than they have delivered, but circumstances may be tipping in growth investors' favour. Will Sutcliffe, head of our Emerging Markets Team, explains why it's an opportune time to invest in the asset class. Background: Will Sutcliffe is the head of Baillie Gifford's Emerging Markets Team and co-manager of our Emerging Markets Leading Companies Fund. In this episode of Short Briefings on Long Term Thinking, he brings his 23 years of experience in the field to explain what makes the specialism different from other types of growth investing. He makes the case that finding exceptional growth companies at attractive valuations is only part of the equation. Investors must be mindful of the broader macroeconomic environment, he explains, to avoid getting caught out by currency swings or spiralling debt costs. This leads him to conclude that recent resilience in emerging market economies could point to a favourable outlook for the asset class's growth stocks. All this only matters to our portfolios if there are exceptional businesses to invest in, and Sutcliffe argues that the emerging markets are home to an increasing number of world-class companies. They range from the Taiwanese chip maker TSMC to the energy, retail and telecoms conglomerate Reliance Industries.

US futures are pointing to a lower open as of 04:05 ET. European equity markets have opened in the negative territory, following mixed Asian markets. No change in broader market themes. Recent central bank speak has seen Fed officials continuing to highlight need for more evidence on inflation, driving another round of hawkish pivot repricing. Markets now pricing in three rate cuts in 2024, in-line with Fed's median outlook. Markets also pricing in 2024 ECB rate cuts of less than 100 bps and toned down BoE rate cut expectations.Companies Mentioned: Broadcom, KKR, Ford, Walt Disney, Reliance Industries
US futures are pointing to a higher open as of 04:05 ET. European equity markets have opened in the positive territory, following a strong session in Asia. Takeaways post-US CPI downplay above-consensus print, pointing to one-off seasonal price adjustments. Fed officials confident that inflation is on right track, while stressing need to proceed carefully on rate cuts. Disinflation narrative still intact although markets have toned down projected Fed rate cuts to 3-4. Companies Mentioned: Disney, Reliance Industries, Crown Castle
US futures are indicating a lower open as of 04:05 ET. European equity markets have opened higher, following a quiet session in Asia. Renewed bond market weakness follows run of strong US macro data and Fedspeak that has been uniformly hawkish with officials continuing to push higher-for-longer narrative. Developments have continued to flatten market-implied rate-cut path. Futures now pricing in around 110 bps of rate cuts in 2024, and have largely priced out March rate cut, while economists now see first rate cut occurring in May or June.Companies Mentioned: Diamondback Energy, Disney, Reliance Industries
After a three-year hiatus induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2023 Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival returned this year with a new curatorial team and a robust lineup of independent and art-house work from all over South Asia and beyond. One of the major international film festivals in the region, MAMI (as it is colloquially known) is a unique combination of corporate glitz and die-hard indie cinephilia. Sponsored in large part by Reliance Industries, the company owned and run by the richest family in India, and boasting major Bollywood figures on its board, the festival is nevertheless an oasis for formally and politically bold filmmaking in a cultural landscape dominated by commercial blockbusters and constrained by censorship policies. Devika attended the festival for the first time this year, as did curator and Film Comment contributor Inney Prakash. On today's episode, they discuss their experience in Mumbai and some of the highlights of the South Asia selection, including The World Is Family by Anand Patwardhan, Against the Tide by Sarvnik Kaur, Which Colour? by Shahrukhkhan Chavada, a program of short films by Amit Dutta, and more.
