Tata Consultancy Services carries out internal probe into M&S hack, FT reports
(Reuters) -India's Tata Consultancy Services is conducting an internal investigation to determine whether it was the gateway for a cyberattack on UK's Marks and Spencer that compromised customer data and disrupted the retailer's operations, FT reported on Friday.
The Indian IT company, which has provided services to M&S for more than a decade, hopes to conclude the probe by the end of the month, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.
M&S declined to comment and TCS did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The cyberattack which M&S disclosed in April will cost the company about 300 million pounds ($404.9 million) in lost operating profit, and disruption to online services is likely until July.

Stocks mixed with trade and earnings in focus; Tokyo reopens with gains

(AP Photo/Eugene Hoshiko) HONG KONG: Asian markets were mixed Tuesday (July 22) as traders kept an eye on earnings from Wall Street titans this week while tracking US trade talks just over a week before the deadline for a deal. Japanese stocks edged up and the yen held gains after Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said he will stay in power despite the weekend election debacle. Investors took a more cautious path after a largely positive day on Wall Street, where the S&P ended above 6,300 points for the first time and the Nasdaq chalked up yet another record. Equities continue to rally on expectations key trading partners will strike agreements with Washington before August 1 to avoid Donald Trump's sky-high tariffs, with the US president saying several deals were close. Just three have been struck so far. His press secretary Karoline Leavitt said more could be reached before next Friday but also warned the president could unveil fresh unilateral tolls in that time. While Trump's initial tariff bombshell on April 2 rattled global markets before he delayed introducing the measures twice, they have seen more muted reactions to successive threats as traders expect him to eventually row back again. That optimism has been helped by data indicating the US economy remained healthy despite the imposition of other levies that are beginning to be felt on Main Street. And SPI Asset Management's Stephen Innes warned traders could be in for a shock next week. "The new tariff regime isn't being priced -- full stop," he wrote. "Markets have seen this movie before: tough talk, last-minute extensions, and deal-making in overtime. But this time, Trump isn't bluffing. He's already posted 'No extensions will be granted'. "The new rates -- 30 per cent on the EU, 35 per cent on Canada, 50 per cent on Brazil -- are politically loaded and economically radioactive. If they go live, there's no soft landing." Hong Kong has been the standout in Asia this year, piling on around a quarter thanks to a rally in Chinese tech firms and a fresh flow of cash from mainland investors. And the Hang Seng Index continued its advance Tuesday, with Shanghai, Sydney and Taipei also up. There were losses in Singapore, Seoul, Wellington and Manila. Tokyo rose as investors returned from a long weekend to news that Ishiba would remain in power even after his ruling coalition lost its majority in Japan's lower house elections Sunday, months after it suffered a similar fate in the upper house. His refusal to leave helped the yen push higher against the dollar and other peers, though observers warned the government's tenure remained fragile and investors remained nervous. The yen strengthened to 147.08 Tuesday before paring some of the gains. That compares with 148.80 Friday. But Franklin Templeton Institute's Christy Tan said that "Ishiba now faces heightened political headwinds, including pressure over inflation, taxes, and US trade talks". Focus also turns this week to earnings from some of the world's biggest names, including Tesla, Google-parent Alphabet, General Motors, Intel and Coca-Cola. While there will be plenty of attention given to the results, the firms' guidance will be key as investors try to gauge companies' pulses in light of Trump's trade war. - AFP

Embracing change: Petronas steps boldly into the future
PETRONAS has risen to new challenges such as environmental concerns and price fluctuations caused by armed conflicts on both the local and global fronts. (Reuters pic) PETALING JAYA : On June 5, 2025, national oil corporation Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) announced that it would focus on a company-wide transformation effort aimed at adapting to difficult market conditions. The move is part of the company's strategic shift towards what it calls 'Petronas 2.0', which will involve changes in structure, organisation, and work processes to pave the way for greater agility and success, empowering the company to thrive in an ever-evolving landscape. On the same day, the Brent crude opened at US$64.91 per barrel before reaching an intra-day high of US$65.86. Less than two years ago, in September 2023, the commodity was averaging US$93.72 per barrel. But that was not solely the reason for Petronas' decision to downsize — or 'rightsize' as it is referred to now. To understand why Petronas and other O&G players around the world are reviewing or restructuring their operations, FMT takes a look at the many new challenges that the industry has come to face. Global challenge Apart from Petronas, other oil companies such as Chevron and Shell are also reducing their respective workforce as part of a restructuring exercise. Early this year, Chevron announced a 20% cut in its workforce, a move that will see 9,000 employees leave the company by the end of 2026. Bloomberg reported that the job cuts were 'intended to streamline operations, reduce costs by US$2 billion to US$3 billion by 2026, and to improve efficiency'. Just a few months earlier, Shell announced that it would embark on a similar track that will see its workforce shrink 20% and cut costs also by US$2 billion to US$3 billion come end of 2025. The pain points The restructuring exercise, which includes job cuts, is unavoidable given the market volatility, coupled with environmental concerns, regulatory hurdles, and technological progress. Geopolitical events, including armed conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, have caused havoc in demand and supply, creating uncertainties and leading to a drop in prices. For instance, the Iran-Israel conflict has resulted in sharp swings in oil prices, with the Brent crude hitting a five-month high of US$81.40 a barrel after the US bombed nuclear sites in Iran, before dropping back to US$69 on news of a ceasefire. Margins have also begun to thin, not just as a result of falling prices but other factors as well. In mature fields, the sought-after product is often trapped in more complex geological formations, making extraction more complex and, therefore, costly. The cost of extracting a barrel of oil from older fields can be as high as US$50, making it unsustainable to keep these fields in production as market price comes down. Higher operating costs in mature fields are not the only reason that margins are thinning. Petronas is also heavily involved in deepwater projects. It already has fields in areas such as Gumusut-Kakap, Malikai, and Kikeh off the Sabah coast, and is developing new ones in Limbayong and the Kelidang Cluster, also off Sabah. Elsewhere, the national oil corporation has also expanded its involvement in deepwater projects in Suriname. Deepwater projects typically involve extraction from depths of 4,000 feet (1,219m) to 7,000 feet (2,134m) below sea level. The challenging conditions in deep and ultra-deep waters require specialised technology and infrastructure, pushing production costs higher. Petronas' active involvement in sour gas projects, particularly off the coast of Sarawak, presents another challenge. The high level of contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide makes it highly costly to process the gas. All these factors lead to higher operational costs, making it essential for the oil corporation to cut back in other areas to stay in business. The environmental factor The rising concern for Mother Nature is perhaps the biggest challenge for O&G companies. Oil, once the fuel that fired economic growth, is now regarded as the cause of all the ills of the environment. The cause of air and water pollution as well as deforestation that leads to global warming are attributable to the widespread use of fossil fuels. Oil producers around the world are being forced to make the transition to clean energy to meet more stringent green regulations. In Malaysia, Petronas is duty-bound to help the country migrate to clean energy under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR). The NETR entails reducing the country's carbon footprint to take the economy on a more sustainable path. This involves investing billions of ringgit in renewables to secure the country's future energy needs. The need to reinvent It is time to stop looking at the O&G sector in general and Petronas in particular through rose-tinted glasses. Many oil companies, such as ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron and TotalEnergies have all reported decline in profits since 2022. Petronas is no exception. Its profit has been on a steady decline, from RM101.6 billion in 2022 to RM80.7 billion in 2023 and then to RM55.1 billion in 2024. CEO Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz envisions a new path going forward and, among others, work processes will change. 'We will be more technologically driven, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and the digital ecosystem to unlock value and raise productivity,' he said. He pointed out that digital transformation could help businesses uncover new opportunities for value creation and productivity gains, while streamlining operations and reducing inefficiencies. 'AI-driven analytics enable data-driven decision-making, better risk management, and enhanced the ability to predict and respond to market shifts,' Tengku Muhammad Taufik said. 'This enables the organisation to remain agile, competitive, and well-positioned for the challenges of the evolving energy landscape,' he added. The rightsizing exercise will improve operational resilience and agility, where the workforce matches the company's strategic needs. Turning leaner and more cost-efficient will ensure that Petronas continues to pay dividends to the government to help Malaysia narrow its budget deficit and reduce reliance on broad-based subsidiaries. By trimming the non-essential roles, Petronas can also reinvest resources in sectors that are poised for growth, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), downstream value chains including petrochemicals and lubricants, and low-carbon solutions like blue ammonia and carbon capture and storage (CCS). Looking ahead In the final analysis, the rightsizing exercise is unavoidable. In an environment of narrowing profit margins and a fast-shifting global energy market, strengthening the national oil company will bring long-term benefits for Malaysians. It must be pointed out that Petronas's financial position remains solid. Nonetheless, the rational thing to do is to act now, while the company is still profitable, rather than wait until painful steps such as pay cuts and retrenchment have to be taken. In addition, the company needs to streamline processes and reduce the number of layers to make it more agile. Rightsizing is the right thing to do.

Asian stocks firm as investors look to tariff negotiations, earnings
SINGAPORE: Asian share markets held their ground near a four-year peak on Tuesday, buoyed by Wall Street's closing record high ahead of a slate of corporate earnings while investors took stock of tariff negotiations between the U.S. and its trading partners. The Japanese markets returned to action after a holiday in the previous session following the weekend's election where the ruling coalition suffered a defeat in upper house elections, although Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba vowed to remain in his post. Japanese shares briefly jumped at the open before trading modestly higher, while bonds had a muted reaction as the election results were largely priced in and were not as bad as investors had feared. The yen rallied 1% on Monday, recouping some of the losses from past weeks and was last little changed at 147.46 per dollar on Tuesday. Kristina Clifton, an economist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, said the weakening of Ishiba's leadership will open the door to more fiscal expansion which is negative for Japanese assets, including the yen. "The bottom line is longer term Japanese government bond yields and JPY can fall if concerns about Japan's fiscal spending deepen." MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan hit its highest level since October 2021 in early Asian hours but was last little changed. The index is up nearly 16% this year. Overnight, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq notched record-high closes on Monday, lifted by Alphabet and other megacaps ahead of a burst of earnings reports this week. Investor focus has been on tariff negotiations ahead of the August 1 deadline with the European Union exploring a broader set of possible countermeasures against the United States as prospects for an acceptable agreement with Washington fade. The most important deals for the global outlook are with the EU and Japan, CBA's Clifton said. "The USD reaction to the announcement of trade deals with these countries would depend on the details of the deals in our view," Clifton said, noting the dollar could turn down again against the euro and the British pound. The euro was steady at $1.1689, after rising 0.5% in the previous session but still away from the near four-year high it touched at the start of the month. The single currency is up 13% this year as investors look for alternatives to U.S. assets bruised by tariff uncertainties. The dollar index measure against six other key currencies was at 97.905. The rumblings around the Federal Reserve's independence and whether U.S. President Donald Trump will fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell have kept investors on tenterhooks in recent weeks. Trump appeared near the point of trying to fire Powell last week, but backed off with a nod to the market disruption that would likely follow. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday said the entire Federal Reserve needed to be examined as an institution and whether it had been successful, further exacerbating worries about the independence of the U.S. central bank. The Fed is widely expected to hold rates steady in its July meeting but might lower rates later in the year. Market focus will be squarely on Powell's speech later on Tuesday for clues about when the Fed might ease policy. Goldman Sachs strategists expect the Fed to deliver three consecutive 25-basis-point cuts starting in September, "provided inflation expectations remain in check amidst worries about Fed independence." In commodities, oil prices edged lower on concerns that the brewing trade war between major crude consumers the U.S. and the European Union will curb fuel demand. Brent crude futures fell 0.35%, to $68.97 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude eased 0.31% to $66.99 per barrel. - Reuters
