Seoul/Tokyo/New York: Shares of major semiconductor companies across the United States and Asia fell sharply on Tuesday as investors reassessed the massive spending boom surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), triggering a broad sell-off in technology stocks. The downturn hit Asian markets particularly hard, with South Korea’s benchmark Kospi index suffering one of its steepest declines of the year. Trading on the index was temporarily halted after losses exceeded 8%, activating a market safeguard designed to curb panic selling. Despite the pause, the sell-off intensified when trading resumed, leaving the Kospi down 10.8% by the end of the session. Technology giants led the decline. Samsung Electronics and memory-chip manufacturer SK Hynix both lost more than 13% of their market value, reflecting growing investor unease about the sustainability of AI-driven growth expectations. The market turbulence followed a sharp decline in Nvidia shares on Wall Street. The AI chip leader ...

LONDON — Global oil prices fell sharply on Monday after the United States and Iran suspended military operations following two weeks of escalating attacks, raising hopes that a diplomatic path could prevent a broader regional conflict and eventually restore disrupted shipping routes through some of the world's most important energy corridors. Brent crude futures dropped more than 5 percent during early trading, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude also posted significant losses as investors reacted to signs that both sides may be willing to allow more time for negotiations.

At the height of the tensions, Brent crude briefly approached the psychologically significant $100-per-barrel level as concerns mounted over the security of oil shipments passing through the Strait of Hormuz. However, market a...

India’s E20 fuel policy, which mandates the use of petrol blended with 20 percent ethanol, is widely regarded as a significant milestone in the country’s energy transition strategy. According to the government, the initiative is not merely a fuel program but part of a broader effort to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels, create new opportunities for farmers, and lower carbon emissions. However, as the policy expands across the country, it is also generating growing debate, criticism, and public concern. The recent emergence of the “E20 Janata Party” (EJP) on social media reflects this rising dissatisfaction. While the organization may have originated outside traditional political structures, the questions it has raised go far beyond online satire and internet discussions. Instead, they touch on broader issues related to India’s fuel policy, consumer rights, transparency, and public accountability. Importantly, EJP is not calling for a complete rejection of ethanol blending. Rat...
