The ‘world-class tourist destination' where foreigners are banned
North Korea has abruptly halted foreign access to its newly opened Wonsan-Kalma Coastal Tourist Area, just weeks after its official launch. The decision follows a high-profile visit by Russia 's foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, who was the resort's "first foreign guest" and lauded its facilities. No official explanation has been given for the sudden ban on foreign visitors to the site, which was promoted as a "world-class tourist and cultural destination'. The Wonsan-Kalma resort, a major project delayed by sanctions and the pandemic, is crucial for North Korea's tourism income. Analysts speculate the halt may be due to ongoing development or concerns about foreign access, though some believe it will be temporary given the regime's need for foreign currency.

India markets regulator proposes several changes to mutual fund rules
July 18 (Reuters) - India's markets regulator on Friday proposed a series of changes to mutual fund scheme rules, including allowing asset managers to offer both value and contra funds under certain conditions. The Securities and Exchange Board of India, in a consultation paper published on its website, suggested permitting mutual funds to offer both value and contra funds provided the overlap in their investment portfolios does not exceed 50%. Value funds typically invest in undervalued companies, while contra funds invest against prevailing market trends. Under current regulations, asset managers are allowed to launch only one of these two. India's mutual fund industry hit a new record in June, with net assets under management climbing to nearly 75 trillion rupees ($870.95 billion). SEBI on Friday also sought feedback on whether mutual funds should invest the residual portion of their equity scheme funds in a diversified mix of assets such as debt, gold, silver and real estate investment trusts. Equity schemes must invest a minimum 65% of their funds in equity-related instruments, and the rest can be parked in debt or money market instruments. The regulator sought feedback on whether mutual funds should be permitted to invest the residual portion of debt scheme funds in real estate investment trusts and infrastructure investment trusts, except for schemes with short durations. SEBI has sought comments by August 8. ($1 = 86.1130 Indian rupees)

3M sees smaller tariff hit on 2025 profit amid easing US-China trade tensions
July 18 (Reuters) - 3M (MMM.N), opens new tab on Friday raised its full-year profit forecast and projected a smaller tariff-related hit to its 2025 earnings, amid easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, sending shares of the industrial giant up nearly 4% in premaket trading. The company now expects a full-year adjusted profit between $7.75 and $8 per share, compared with its previous estimate of $7.60 to $7.90. The forecast includes a net hit of 10 cents per share to its 2025 profit, compared with its earlier forecast of 20 cents to 40 cents. As some of the trade tensions show signs of easing, companies have begun to reevaluate the potential financial fallout. Pharmaceutical major Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.N), opens new tab has halved its projection for tariff-related costs to $200 million this year. China, which accounts for roughly 10% of 3M's global revenue, signed a comprehensive trade deal with the U.S. in June following months of trade tensions. Under the agreement, the U.S. has imposed a 10% baseline tariff on all Chinese imports, 20% on goods associated with President Donald Trump's accusation that China had not done enough to stem the flow of fentanyl, and kept the existing 25% tariffs from his first term. In April, 3M had estimated an $850 million potential annualized impact from tariffs before exemptions, with $675 million tied to U.S. and China tariffs. The Scotch tape maker reported second-quarter adjusted profit of $2.16 per share compared with Wall Street estimates of $2.01, according to data compiled by LSEG. Adjusted operating income margin in the quarter stood at 24.5%, up 290 basis points from a year earlier, as the company turned its focus away from legal liabilities and supply-chain issues, and toward developing new products. Total revenue for quarter came in at $6.16 billion. Analysts, on average, were expecting $6.11 billion in revenue.
