Adani Group Halts $10 Billion Semiconductor Talks with Tower Over Market Concerns

Concerns about the market and strategy have caused Adani Group to halt negotiations with Tower Semiconductor of Israel on a $10 billion semiconductor

Concerns about the market and strategy have caused Adani Group to halt negotiations with Tower Semiconductor of Israel on a $10 billion semiconductor project. With a monthly production capacity of 80,000 wafers, the Maharashtra facility was expected to boost Indias semiconductor aspirations and generate 5,000 jobs. Negotiations stagnated, though, as Adani questioned domestic demand and demanded a larger financial commitment from Tower beyond its technological knowhow. This loss comes after the VedantaFoxconn joint venture failed, underscoring Indias difficulties in chipmaking in spite of government incentives. China and the United States own a combined 54% of the global semiconductor business, whereas Indias share is only 6.5%. The halt calls into question Indias capacity to draw in toptier semiconductor investments. Read More..

Beyond analysts average estimate of $160.91 billion, Amazon has projected secondquarter sales between $159 billion and $164 billion. This indicates resiliency in the face of tariffrelated uncertainty as the business manages possible retail business disruptions. On the other hand, Microsofts Azure outperformed projections, and Amazon Web Services AWS announced a revenue rise of 16.9%, falling short of 17.4% predictions. Investors responded badly, as evidenced by the 5% decline in Amazon shares during afterhours trading. Concerns about cloud expansion notwithstanding, Amazons online ad sales increased 19% to $13.92 billion, solidifying its place as a big player behind Alphabet and Meta. Maintaining low retail pricing and minimising the effects of tariffs on sellers are the companys top priorities. Read More..

Citing perceived bias in their reporting, former US President Donald Trump signed an executive order reducing federal money to PBS and NPR. The order

Citing perceived bias in their reporting, former US President Donald Trump signed an executive order reducing federal money to PBS and NPR. The order requires the Corporation for Public Broadcasting CPB to stop providing these outlets with direct money and to stop providing them with indirect funding. Given the variety of news outlets, Trump contends that governmentfunded media are out of date and that PBS and NPR dont offer objective reporting. Legal challenges are anticipated to the move because public broadcasters, especially those in rural areas, depend on CPB subsidies. NPR representatives stressed their role in local reporting and public safety, while PBS CEO Paula Kerger cautioned that the cuts would disrupt vital services. Read More..
