markets COST BLOCK Trade President electronic strain Trump tariff puts Indian jewellery jobs on the chopping block

gems and jewellery industry, one of the country’s top export earners and a major source of employment, is staring at job losses after US President Donald Trump announced a 26% tariff on imports from India. The US is the sector’s largest market, and with demand expected to fall sharply, exporters fear that the move will put thousands of livelihoods at risk. In the last financial year (FY24), India exported about $33 billion worth of gems and jewellery, of which nearly $10 billion went to the US, according to official data. The new tariff would raise the current US import duty from around 6% to about 34%, making Indian products significantly more expensive for American buyers, said industry players. The Indian gems and jewellery sector is the country’s third-largest export to the US, after engineering and electronic goods. It employs millions of people, many of whom are involved in labour-intensive work such as diamond cutting, polishing, and jewellery crafting. India is also the global leader in diamond processing, handling about 90% of all cut and polished diamonds in the world.

UPS Ball security show cricket bowling Venkatesh Iyer fires back at his IPL price tag, says 'doesn't matter if its Rs 20 lakh or Rs 20 crore...'

Kolkata Knight Riders splashed a whopping Rs 23.75 crore to secure Venkatesh Iyer at the IPL mega auction, the cricketing world went into a frenzy. The price tag made him KKR's most expensive player ever and the third costliest buy in the league's history. But after scoring just 9 runs in his first two outings this season, murmurs turned into full-blown debates—was he really worth the money? However, his innings against Sunrisers Hyderabad was enough to show the class player that he is. Iyer has finally opened up on the costly buy and the pressure it builds on players like him. «I won't lie, there is a little pressure. You guys talk so much,» Iyer quipped at the post-match press conference. «But being the highest-paid player (in KKR) does not mean I have to make runs in every match.» «It's about how I am winning for the team and what impact I am able to make. The pressure is not about how much money I am getting or how many runs I have to make. That's never been the pressure on me,» he said firmly.

markets Target Opinion Food Trade Experts recommendations Goldman Sachs sees 50% upside in Zomato, calls Blinkit pessimism overdone

Goldman Sachs struck an optimistic tone on Zomato on Friday, arguing that concerns around its quick commerce arm Blinkit are exaggerated and current valuations overly pessimistic, even as the stock fell as much as 2.4% to Rs 205.85 on the day. Goldman Sachs reiterated a «buy» rating on Zomato with a target price of Rs 310, implying an upside of over 50% from current levels. The brokerage believes that at the current market price, investors are effectively assigning negligible value to Zomato’s food delivery business or assuming that Blinkit’s EBITDA margins have structurally halved — both scenarios it considers highly unlikely.

«Over 120,000 people were laid off this year. And many of them didn’t even get a call. Some found out through a blocked email. Some were just removed from Slack in the middle of the day. That’s inhuman. Yes, layoffs happen. But how you handle them says everything about your culture,» said Harsh Pokharna in a post on LinkedIn. «I know it’s tough to have these conversations, but this is what you signed up for when you became a founder. If you call someone “family” while hiring them, treat them like family when letting them go too,» added the Bengaluru-based CEO.

markets economy Fitch pandemic Trade country 2020 Trump’s tariff salvo sets off alarm on US recession risks while stock markets bleed

Fitch Ratings. The ratings agency said the new tariffs, announced on what is labelled as “Liberation Day” by the US administration, go far beyond what it had previously expected and are already altering the global economic outlook. The tariff regime now imposes a minimum rate of 10% on all US trade partners, with significantly higher levies on 57 selected countries. As a result, the effective tariff rate (ETR) for EU imports into the US has jumped to about 20%, while the rate on Chinese goods has surged to 64%. These figures compare with Fitch’s earlier March assumptions of 15% for the EU and 35% for China. Other Asian economies have also been hit hard. Vietnam now faces a 46% tariff, Thailand 36%, Taiwan 32%, India 26%, South Korea 25%, Malaysia 24% and Japan 24%. Sector-specific exclusions—such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, copper and lumber—may be negotiated separately. Also Read: Recession, not Liberation Day! India, US and world GDP may slump for Trump tariff 'insanity' «We estimate the changes will raise the overall US ETR to about 25%, which would be significantly higher than the 18% we had assumed for 2025 in the March GEO and the highest rate for more than 115 years,» Fitch said.
