US is starting to look like an emerging market after tariff shock, Euronext CEO says
"Fear exists all over," the head of the pan-European stock exchange operator told France Inter radio. "The country (United States) is unrecognisable and we are living in a transition period. There is a certain form of mourning, because the United States that we had known for the most part as a dominant nation resembled the values and institutions of Europe and now resembles more an emerging market."
Boujnah said global financial markets were rotating assets and were trying to adapt to a United States that they do not recognise after U.S. President Donald Trump announced global tariffs on imports to the United States.
Trump has said the tariffs - a minimum of 10% for all U.S. imports, with targeted rates of up to 50% - would help the United States recapture an industrial base that he says has withered over decades of trade liberalization.
Boujnah said there was some good news in that oil prices and long-term rates were down, and that there were flows of money leaving the United States to be re-invested in Europe.

Veteran Tesla analyst drops 4-word call
Tesla (TSLA) stockholders have been through the ringer this year Pulverized by falling sales, political sideshows, and the competition chomping away at its lead, Elon Musk's EV behemoth hasn't given Tesla bulls much to cheer about lately. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter However, a key update suggests things could potentially turn around. With Wall Street's patience wearing thin, even the slightest hint of stability could propel the EV giant ahead and help it regain its 2025 has been mostly a bruising cautionary tale. Related: Veteran analyst drops jaw-dropping Tesla stock target Perhaps the biggest headline this year for the EV pioneer has been its long-hyped robotaxi push. Following years of teasing and bold predictions from Musk, Tesla finally launched a pilot fleet in Austin in late June. In that, we saw a handful of Model Ys zipping around a tight geofenced zone, at just $4.20 a ride under the watchful eyes of safety monitors. Early footage reinvigorated the die-hard Tesla fans. However, it didn't take long for things to go the other way. Clips of wrong-way turns, sudden stops, and near misses with pedestrians spread like wildfire, landing the trials on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's radar. Suddenly, Tesla's camera-only approach looked a lot more risky than revolutionary. Moreover, the topsy-turvy rollout came as Tesla's European sales slid. In the Nordics, registrations plummeted over 60% in June. In Sweden, things were even worse, plunging 64%. Across the broader EU, deliveries tanked over 40% in May as aggressive Chinese competitors like BYD kept winning price wars. Also, you can forget the Musk factor. The CEO's outspoken political takes have done him hardly any favors this year. His public fallout with former ally President Donald Trump has become a nightmare for Tesla stockholders, with Trump threatening to yank the federal subsidies that have kept Tesla afloat for the better part of its history.

According to Deepwater Asset Management analyst Gene Munster, Tesla stock may have just turned a corner. Related: Veteran Tesla bull drops surprising 3-word verdict on robotaxi ride He believes the company's latest second-quarter delivery numbers point to a bottom for the struggling EV powerhouse. Speaking on Bloomberg Television, Munster summed up the relief many investors felt: "We're at the bottom here." He said that Tesla's Q2 deliveries came in roughly 4% higher than market expectations, landing close to 384,000 vehicles. Though that's still down about 13% compared to last year, it wasn't the nightmare some had been bracing for. The stock jumped nearly 5% on Wednesday as traders bet the worst might be behind Tesla, though it later gave back those gains. Additionally, analysts at Goldman Sachs expected just 365,000 deliveries, which meant the actual figure cleared a very low bar, potentially leading to a much-needed bounce for the stock. Nevertheless, the Q2 total was still down year-over-year, but was up 14% from Q1, suggesting a possible stabilization heading into the back half of this year. Tesla's best-selling Model 3 and Model Y made up the lion's share of the numbers, accounting for nearly 374,000 of the cars delivered. Other models added close to 10,000 more. Still, Tesla's road ahead remains bumpy. Competition from cheaper Chinese EVs continues to clip away at its market share, while CEO Musk's divisive political moves continue to spark protests and backlash in key markets. For now, though, Munster's call that "we're at the bottom" is exactly what Tesla bulls wanted to hear.

Reuters' X accounts blocked in India amid confusion over ‘legal demand'
The primary X handles of international news agency Reuters were blocked in India 'in response to a legal demand', according to a notice on the microblogging platform. A message displayed on Reuters' X account (formerly Twitter) read: '@Reuters has been withheld in IN in response to a legal demand.' However, the Indian ministry of electronics and information technology denied issuing any new legal demand to block Reuters' accounts on the Elon Musk-owned platform. 'There is no requirement from the Government of India to withhold the Reuters handle. We are continuously working with 'X' to resolve the problem,' the spokesperson for the ministry said. The absence of clear reasons for the block has led to confusion and concern among Indian users and media watchers, once again raising questions over press freedom and digital censorship in India. The block gained attention on Saturday evening. The Reuters World account became inaccessible shortly afterward, by 11.40pm local time. An Indian government source told the Press Trust of India that a demand to block several hundred X accounts was made during India-Pakistan tensions in April, particularly when India launched a counter-terrorism operation inside Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. The unnamed source said the government had issued the order on 7 May, but Reuters seems to have acted only now, calling it a 'mistake on their part'. India launched what it called Operation Sindoor, carrying out an attack inside Pakistani territory to target terrorist camps. Pakistan denied that terrorists were attacked, claiming all casualties were civilians. Around the same time, Indian news website The Wire said the Indian government blocked access to its news website and ordered the removal of Pakistan-linked content across digital platforms. The website of The Wire, a news organisation known for its investigative journalism and critical coverage of the government, became inaccessible across much of the country. In recent years, the Indian government has expanded its information technology laws to bring social media under its ambit and to allow the blocking of online content on the grounds of national security or public order. India ranked 151st in the World Press Freedom Index in 2025, a slight improvement from 159th last year. Reuters has not issued any statement yet. The Independent has reached out to Reuters for a comment.
