Crisil alerts government to watch imports amid US tariff hikes on Chinese goods
==========

Crisil warns of potential import surges following US tariff hikes on Chinese goods, affecting India's trade dynamics. The widening trade deficit prompts vigilance, with a focus on foreign-trade agreements to boost exports. The government needs to monitor imports, especially since the US has announced tariff hikes on Chinese imports, which could potentially lead to some dumping by China in the larger market, including India. The fiscal year started on a good note, with positive growth in merchandise exports in the first quarter. However, the overall export growth eased to 2.6% YoY in June, while merchandise imports grew at a faster pace of 7.7%. This imbalance has resulted in a widened trade deficit of $62.44 billion. The government's increased focus on foreign-trade agreements (FTA) should provide a thrust to exports. The surplus in services trade and robust remittances flow suggests the current account is expected to remain in a safe zone.

Upward march: IMF raises India's GDP growth forecast for FY25 to 7% - The Economic Times
==========

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised India's GDP growth projection for FY25 to 7% from 6.8% forecasted in April, maintaining the country's fastest-growing economy status. The upgrade reflects improved prospects for private consumption, particularly in rural areas. The IMF also highlights risks related to inflation, currency volatility, and trade tensions, emphasizing the importance of prudent policy decisions and multilateral cooperation. The growth forecast for emerging markets and developing economies is revised to 4.3% from 4.2% earlier. The IMF projects that growth in India and China will account for almost half of global growth in 2024. India's economy grew 8.2% in FY24. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had revised upwards the country's GDP forecast to 7.2% last month. Fitch Ratings also upped India's growth forecast for FY25 to 7.2%. The IMF cautions against the misuse of inward and domestically oriented policies that compromise the ability to tackle global challenges, such as climate change, underscoring the importance of multilateral cooperation and trade.

US market rallying at prospect of Trump victory following shooting incident: Geoff Dennis
==========

Recent political violence in the US has led to market speculations favoring a potential Trump re-election. Analysts anticipate rate cuts and inflation concerns in the coming years. Geoff Dennis, an independent EM commentator, believes that the shooting incident will increase the chances of ex-president Trump winning the election. The market is rallying in equities based on this belief, with investors thinking that Trump's victory would bring potential tax cuts. However, this bullish news for equities is a short to medium-term view, not necessarily a long-term view. Rate cuts are expected in September and December, and the longer-term outlook for the fiscal deficit is not good under both presidents.

View: Attack could exacerbate tensions in US society
==========

Former US President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt over the weekend, which could reshape the 2024 presidential race. Trump claims Democratic targeting, while bipartisan condemnation has been issued. The attack could exacerbate tensions in US society and impact global recovery from COVID-19 and conflicts in Europe and the Middle East. The Republican National Convention will endorse Trump as their candidate. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former presidents George W Bush and Barack Obama have condemned the attack. The polarisation in US politics is so strong that the attack could bridge the schism. The mood in the Republican party is upbeat, viewing this as a development of immense political consequence. India will be carefully watching the situation as it evolves, as any political instability in the US can mean bad news for the world. The attack takes the national and media glare away from incumbent President Joe Biden and puts it squarely on Trump, potentially boosting Trump's chances of securing the White House for the Republicans.

==========

Joe Biden has adopted a two-pronged strategy to remain in the 2024 US Presidential Election. First, he has rejected calls to pull out of the race and declared that he may not be as young and energetic as before, but he knows how to deliver as the president. Secondly, he has targeted Republican contender Donald Trump, saying that he is in a worse condition and will take the country along the wrong path if he wins the election. Biden's strategy includes shifting the focus to Trump and highlighting the republic contender's rhetoric and policies as much worse than his own missteps. Representative Jim Clyburn of South Carolina has come out in support of Biden and emphasized that Trump's return to power would bring a massive overhaul of the federal government and replace thousands of civil servants with officials loyal to Trump. Biden has faced criticism for his poor performance at the June 27 presidential debate and has been urged by some Democrat leaders to quit the race.

Artificial Intelligence helped to find a vast source of the copper that AI needs to thrive
==========

KoBold Metals, a company that uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology, has discovered a large copper deposit in Zambia. The mine is estimated to produce at least 300,000 tons of copper per year, worth billions of dollars annually. The discovery is significant for the tech industry and the fight against climate change, as copper is a critical material for clean energy technologies. The find comes as the United States and China are competing for access to minerals needed for these technologies. KoBold is investing $2.3 billion in the mine and is negotiating partnerships with contractors and governments. The company is also relying on the U.S. government to finance a new railway for exporting the copper. However, the benefits for local communities in Zambia are uncertain, as mining has historically led to environmental damage and inequitable distribution of wealth.

Boeing accepts a plea deal to avoid a criminal trial over 737 Max crashes, Justice Department says
==========

Boeing is set to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge stemming from two 737 Max jetliners that killed 346 people. The plea deal, which still requires federal judge approval, calls for Boeing to pay an additional $243.6 million fine, the same amount it paid under the 2021 settlement that the Justice Department said the company breached. The plea deal covers only wrongdoing by Boeing before the crashes, which killed all 346 passengers and crew members aboard two new Max jets. The deal also does not cover any current or former Boeing officials, only the corporation. In a statement, Boeing confirmed it had reached the deal with the Justice Department but had no further comment. The judge overseeing the case, who has criticized what he called 'Boeing's egregious criminal conduct,' could accept the plea and the sentence that prosecutors offered with it or he could reject the agreement, likely leading to new negotiations between the Justice Department and Boeing.

Transforming governance through AI
==========

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have the potential to transform citizen-centric delivery of services. AI could streamline college admissions by collating student data, suggesting colleges, filling out common applications, and applying for scholarships. AI-enabled chatbots can provide specific and contextualized responses in multiple languages to queries from citizens and deliver citizen-centric services. AI-driven governance can be replicated in domains like healthcare, agriculture, crime detection, and traffic management. The government must invest in AI infrastructure and R&D, establish a regulatory framework, provide access to domain datasets, focus on ethical development and data security, and prioritize skilling for AI. India ranks 40th out of 193 nations in AI readiness. AI-driven governance can transform the government and public service delivery.

Young tennis stars skipping Paris Olympics 2024: Top players participating in US tournaments instead, here's why
==========

A young bracket of leading tennis players, both men and women, are choosing to skip the Paris Olympics 2024 and participate in US-based hard court tournaments instead. The Paris Olympics 2024 coincides with leading tennis tournaments in the United States, making it difficult for players to prepare and perform well in both events. Additionally, US tournaments offer various incentives such as rating points and prize money, unlike the Olympics. The Olympics does not award cash prizes to winners, which is another reason why tennis stars prefer cash-rich tennis championships. The close proximity of the Paris Olympics 2024 and the US Open also gives players less time to prepare and recover, affecting their performance. The International Olympic Committee is concerned about the high-profile absence of top players in the tennis event at the Olympics, but there is little they can do at the moment.

Joe Biden should step down before US Presidential Elections, feels pollster Nate Silver

Tory leadership race heats up; here is the list of probable candidates to replace Rishi Sunak
==========

The UK Conservatives have suffered their most humiliating defeat in the General Elections of 2024. The party will seek to start afresh and for this they have to find the right candidate who has the political acumen and the administrative experience. Rishi Sunak, the former Prime Minister, has said that he will continue to lead the party until it elects its new leader. None of the party’s 121 Members of Parliament (MP) have evinced their interest in leading the party yet. Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman, James Cleverly, Priti Patel, Tom Tugendhat, and Robert Jenrick are some of the probable candidates to replace Rishi Sunak. The UK Conservatives have a multiparty democracy with more than three parties contesting the elections. The House of Commons in the UK has a total of 650 members, and a party seeking to form the government needs to win at least 326 seats in these elections.

The Committee on Digital Competition Law (CDCL) submitted its report to the ministry of corporate affairs (MCA) on February 27, after working on it for more than a year. The draft of the Digital Competition Bill, 2024, has turned the unlikeliest of foes into close friends and the thickest friends into perhaps industry colleagues who no longer see eye-to-eye.

Will it take months for Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore to return from ISS? Know what NASA and Boeing have planned
==========

NASA and Boeing planned to complete the mission in a few days, but the Boeing Starliner capsule faced glitches and the astronauts, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, are still stuck on the International Space Station (ISS). The Starliner capsule leaked helium gas and its thrusters malfunctioned. The astronauts have already spent more than three weeks on the ISS, and there is uncertainty about when they will return. NASA is considering extending the mission from 45 days to 90 days. Boeing and NASA plan to experiment in New Mexico to understand why the thrusters failed. Four of the five failed thrusters have been restored, but the cause of the failure is still unknown.
