Mint11 hours ago
Tata Power share price fell by more than 2% during Thursday's trading session after the company announced that an arbitral tribunal under the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) has ordered it to pay $490.32 million in damages to Kleros Capital Partners.
The partial ruling, issued by a majority of 2:1, additionally stipulates that simple interest at a rate of 5.33% per year will be applied from November 30, 2020, until the payment is made. Furthermore, Tata Power is required to cover $8.29 million in legal expenses, with the same interest rate starting from July 1, 2025.
The matter involves Kleros Capital Partners Ltd, Tata Power's Russian mining associate, which has asserted that Tata Power violated confidentiality and non-circumvention provisions in their Non-Disclosure Agreement related to a planned coal mining venture in Russia.
In a regulatory filing, the company indicated that it is evaluating the decision and might consider legal avenues to contest it.

Putin schedules call with Donald Trump while US scrambles to clarify military aid to Ukraine before Zelenskyy talks begin

Russian President Vladimir Putin has confirmed he will speak with the U.S. President Donald Trump in a scheduled phone call on Thursday, July 4. The announcement was made during Putin's visit to an exhibition promoting Russian brands, where he mentioned that he would encourage Trump to help promote Russian goods in the U.S. market. The call was later confirmed by Trump through a post on his Truth Social account, specifying that it would take place at 10 a.m. Washington time. However, neither the Kremlin nor Trump's team disclosed what topics would be discussed during the call. Last call covered Israel-Iran conflict and Ukraine negotiations The two leaders last spoke on June 14. That call focused on the conflict between Israel and Iran, as well as peace negotiations surrounding the war in Ukraine. The upcoming conversation is expected to build on those discussions, though no formal agenda has been shared. Putin's confirmed call with Trump comes just days after he held a conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron—the first between the two since 2022. Macron urged Putin to consider a ceasefire in Ukraine "as soon as possible." Trump, Zelenskyy call also being planned Separately, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump are expected to hold a phone call on Friday, July 5, according to reports by the Financial Times. Politico also reported ongoing efforts between Ukraine and the United States to coordinate this call amid concerns about arms supply disruptions. U.S. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce addressed these concerns, stating that the recent halt in arms shipments was an isolated case and not a complete suspension. Zelenskyy also confirmed that Ukraine is in discussions with U.S. officials to clarify the status of military aid deliveries. Ongoing ceasefire negotiations and background This sequence of calls ties back to an earlier round of diplomatic communication in May. On May 17, Trump had announced plans to speak with Putin on May 19, followed by calls with Zelenskyy and NATO allies. The May 19 call between Trump and Putin reportedly lasted over two hours. According to Putin, Russia was then willing to work on a memorandum with Ukraine that could include a limited-time ceasefire. He also mentioned that contact between the negotiation teams from previous Istanbul talks had resumed. Although no official topics have been confirmed, the pattern of recent diplomatic activity suggests continued efforts to address the Ukraine conflict through dialogue and negotiation.

Concerns About the Second Half of 2025 According to Reuters, many economists have predicted that the jobless rate will increase through the second half of this year, and potentially encourage the Fed to resume its monetary policy easing cycle in September. Chief economist at Raymond James, Eugenio Aleman, pointed out that, "Although the overall number of jobs was very strong, the weakness was broad-based across the private sector," adding, "The labor market continued to weaken in June, which is in line with our view and should reignite the conversation regarding the Federal Reserve's interest rate path," as quoted by Reuters. FAQs Which sectors saw the biggest job gains? State government and healthcare were the standouts, adding 47,000 and 39,000 jobs respectively, as per The Guardian report. Why is the federal government cutting jobs? The Trump administration has continued making cuts to reduce the size of the federal workforce, resulting in 69,000 job losses since January.
