, he will found a new political party.
What Chinese social media users are saying about Musk-Trump fight
'If Elon Musk were to found a political party, his tech-driven mindset could inject fresh energy into politics. The potential for change is significant – and worth watching,' wrote one Weibo user as quoted in The Guardian report.
Another user wrote: 'Brother Musk, you've got over a billion people on our side backing you.' 'When you've had enough, there's no need to keep putting up with it,' wrote a third.

While other users commented that Trump and Musk should grow up. One user joked saying 'Every day, Musk is basically live-streaming 'How Billionaires Argue''.
'These two grown men argue nonstop over the smallest things – and the whole world ends up knowing about it,' said another user.
Elon Musk-Donald Trump renewed tension
Tensions between the two escalated after Musk said that if the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' is passed in the Senate, he will immediately move forward with launching a new political party called the 'America Party.' Trump hit back with 'deport Elon Musk' remarks, accusing Elon Musk of benefiting more from government subsidies than any individual in US history.
Trump argued that without this taxpayer-funded support, Musk would be unable to continue manufacturing electric cars, launching rockets, or operating satellite services. Trump wrote, 'Our Country would save a FORTUNE', adding 'Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!'.
Responding to Trump, Musk wrote on X: 'So tempting to escalate this. So, so tempting. But I will refrain for now'.

Vietnam agrees to minimum 20% tariff; US goes duty-free
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Vietnam Wednesday that would allow US goods to enter the country duty-free. Vietnamese exports to the United States, by contrast, would face a 20% levy. On his Truth Social platform, Trump declared the pact "a Great Deal of Cooperation between our two Countries". In a govt statement, Vietnam confirmed that negotiating teams had come to an agreement to address the reciprocal tariff issue, but did not detail any tariff terms. Trump "affirmed that the US will significantly reduce reciprocal taxes for many Vietnamese export goods and will continue to cooperate with Vietnam in resolving difficulties affecting bilateral trade relations, especially in areas prioritized by both sides," the statement said. In April, Trump announced a 46% tax on Vietnamese imports - one of his so-called reciprocal tariffs targeting dozens of countries with which the United States runs trade deficits. Trump promptly suspended the reciprocal tariffs for 90 days to allow for negotiations like the one with Vietnam. The pause expires Tuesday, but so far the Trump administration has reached a trade agreement with only one of those countries - the United Kingdom. (Trump has also reached a "framework" agreement with China in a separate trade dispute.) The United States last year ran a $122 billion trade deficit with Vietnam. That was the third-biggest US trade gap - the difference between the goods and services it buys from other countries and those it sells them - behind the ones with China and Mexico. In addition to the 20% tariffs, Trump said the US would impose a 40% tax on "transshipping" - goods from another country that stop in Vietnam on their way to the United States. Washington complains that Chinese goods have been dodging higher US tariffs by transiting through Vietnam. In May, Vietnam approved a $1.5 billion project by the Trump Organisation and a local partner to build a massive golf resort complex near its capital Hanoi, covering an area roughly the size of 336 football fields.

Visa, Mastercard race to tame $253bn crypto threat
A turf war is breaking out in the vast world of digital payments - and the incumbents are suddenly on defense. Tech firms and crypto startups are moving in on territory long dominated by Visa and Mastercard, powered by a new type of currency - the stablecoin - and a pitch merchants can't ignore: lower fees, faster settlement and a way to bypass the big two altogether. It's a tech threat and a financial threat. Digital tokens, which are typically pegged to the dollar, allow consumers to pay merchants directly from their crypto wallets - without routing payments through a bank or card network. Last year alone, US businesses paid an estimated $187 billion in swipe fees, most of it via Visa and Mastercard's systems. Stablecoins promise to make that toll much lower, or even obsolete. "It's clear that eventually this entire space could be a threat to TradFi providers," said Christian Catalini, founder of MIT Cryptoeconomics Lab. That pressure is prompting Visa and Mastercard to brand themselves - not as old-school toll collectors - but as the backbone for all kinds of digital transactions, including those originally designed to bypass them. With Trump poised to sign the legislation that creates formal federal oversight of stablecoin issuers, they're touting enhancements to longstanding efforts in areas including stablecoin settlement and crypto-linked cards. Visa and Mastercard have also highlighted initiatives in cross-border payments, one of the most popular use cases for stablecoins. Visa Ventures invested in stablecoin infrastructure provider BVNK earlier this year. Mastercard recently announced it's joining the Paxos Global Dollar Network, allowing Paxos to help institutions on its network mint and redeem a stablecoin known as USDG, while also backing stablecoins including Fiserv's FIUSD, PayPal's PYUSD and Circle's USDC.

Best stocks to buy today, 3 July, recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman
The market caught a fever as the Trump effect dominated the proceedings, thus causing some turbulence. As trends try to make their way ahead, the damage control required by market participants is quite demanding. Here are two stocks to buy or sell as recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman for today: GODREJAGRO: Buy CMP and on dips to ₹783 | Stop ₹773 | Target ₹875-895 HEIDELBERG: Buy CMP and dips to 205 | Stop 202 | Target 240-255 Market update On 3 July 2025, Indian equity markets staged a modest rebound following the previous session's decline, with the Nifty 50 closing at 25,580.65, up 0.50%, and the Sensex reclaiming ground to end at 84,032, rising 0.75%. The recovery was led by broad-based buying across key sectors, particularly metals, auto, and FMCG, which helped offset continued weakness in financials and realty. Tata Steel and JSW Steel extended their gains, buoyed by firm global commodity cues and expectations of improved domestic demand. Maruti Suzuki and Asian Paints also contributed to the upside, reflecting resilience in consumption-linked counters. However, banking stocks remained subdued, with IndusInd Bank and HDFC Life continuing to face selling pressure amid concerns over margin compression and regulatory headwinds. The Nifty Metal Index surged over 1.5%, while auto and FMCG indices added close to 1% each. On the flip side, PSU banks and realty stocks lagged, reflecting cautious sentiment ahead of upcoming macroeconomic data releases. Also Read: Have ₹10,000 to invest? Here are four stocks to explore for the long term. Market breadth improved slightly, with midcap and smallcap indices recovering 0.3%, signalling selective buying interest. Overall, the session reflected a buy-on-dips approach, with traders eyeing a potential breakout above the 25,600-25,700 resistance zone in the coming days. Outlook for trading Currently, the market is stressed at higher levels as there are no encouraging triggers that can help the markets move confidently higher. The constant lack of participation highlights that the trends are getting tired. With the constant geopolitical tensions emanating since April began, the possibility of continued volatility is very much on the cards. At the moment, no cues are emerging that can help give us a hint of the near-term volatility that one can expect. In the last article, we highlighted the importance of the 25,500 zone. The range is getting tighter, and the readings from the Option Data suggest that PCR has moved to 0.62 once again, highlighting that the trends are witnessing a sell-off at every rise. We observe that the Call Writing has shifted lower now to 25500. With notable Put writing seen at 25000 post 25400, we are now at an important point for the days ahead. Despite the best intentions, the market is unable to conjure up enough strength to continue its upward march. With the 25,365 zone, which is the monthly TC Pivot level being held, we can expect a revival in momentum to rise as long as this level is not violated. The steady attempt to buy on every dip has once again given people a reason to hold on to the bullish side of the markets for now. With no clarity on the future course of action, we should be looking at participating with a neutral bias. Trends continue to remain two-phased and require us to balance both sides of the trend. Hence, the situation demands a pragmatic approach to benefit from market participation. Also Read: Torrent Pharma bet big on JB Chemicals, but can the acquisition deliver? Results season is about to get underway, but the global impact of the worrying macro factors driving up the volatility, we need to see how to navigate the current trends. While market continues to offer umpteen opportunities sector rotation will be at work and hence, we have selected candidates that are displaying steady action from both sides until new signals to the contrary emerge. Two stocks to trade, recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman: Godrej Agrovet Ltd (Cmp 803.85) Why it's recommended: Last quarter Godrej Agrovet demonstrated a mixed performance as it faced margin pressures due to fluctuating raw material costs, heightened competition in the infrastructure sector, and demand volatility in real estate. After enduring these challenges, the volumes began to pick up in the last few weeks to show some strong showing in the last few days. A strong closing on Wednesday augurs a BUY. Key metrics: P/E: 29.86 | 52-week high: ₹877.85 | Volume: 539.44K. Technical analysis: Support at ₹725, resistance at ₹950. Risk factors: Input cost inflation, particularly impacting soybean prices, and challenges in its subsidiary. Buy: CMP and dips to ₹783. Target price: ₹875-895 in 1 month. Stop loss: ₹773. Also Read: Zomato stock rebounds 30%—but is the rally built to last? Heidelbergcement India Ltd (Cmp 214.54) Why it's recommended: Heidelberg remains a key player from the midcap space in cement industry, benefiting from increasing data consumption and strong subscriber additions. After being in a range for more than five months the stock has given a strong breakout above key resistance zones around 204, with volumes signalling strong bullish interest. Key metrics: P/E: 45.54 | 52-week high: ₹258 | Volume: 860.34 K Technical analysis: Support at ₹186, resistance at ₹222. Risk factors: Poor long-term growth and underperformance in the market. Buy: CMP and dips to ₹205. Target price: ₹240-255 in 1 month. Stop loss: ₹202. Raja Venkatraman is the co-founder of NeoTrader. His Sebi-registered research analyst registration no. is INH000016223.
