Israel-Iran war: AVIC Chengdu share price edges higher despite Hormuz Straight close buzz
According to stock market experts, AVIC Chengdu's share price witnessed some selling pressure after the outbreak of the Israel-Iran war last week and came close to 80 yuan per share. However, AVIC Chengdu's share price sustained above its strong support base, standing at 79 yuan per share. So, bulls are betting high on the stock after the stock showed some resilience at the lower support despite high tension in the Middle East. They said that AVIC Chengdu's share price may go up to 105 yuan per share levels once the stock closes above 86 yuan per share.
Speaking on the technical outlook of AVIC Chengdu share price, Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment, said, "AVIC Chengdu share price broke out of an 18-day cup and handle pattern that is part of a larger flag formation, triggering a bullish signal at 86 yuan per share. The stock must hold above the key support zone at 79 for the breakout to sustain. A swift move toward 105 yuan per share is highly likely if this level holds. The broader structure indicates consolidation within strength, and any volume expansion will further support the bullish continuation."
The Pentagon on Sunday announced that the US launched Operation Midnight Hammer and conducted "precision strikes" at three of Iran's key nuclear facilities, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Iran's Ambassador to India, Iraj Elahi, has slammed Israel and the US, stating that both countries have gravely violated the UN Charter, international law, and the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities. He said that the governments of the US and Israel are fully responsible for the "hazardous consequences of this grave crime."
After the US airstrikes in Iran, the Iranian government threatened to close the Hormuz Straight, which is fueling crude oil prices, as the closure would negatively impact the demand-supply constraint.
"The United States and Zionist regime have committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law, and the NPT by attacking Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities. The aggressive US government and the Zionist regime are held fully responsible for the hazardous consequences of this grave crime," Elahi said.
Iraj Elahi said that Iran expects the United Nations and its responsible members to condemn the US and Israel for their military actions against nuclear facilities.
Speaking on the developments in the Israel-Iran war, Morgan Stanley Chief Economic Strategist Ellen Zentner said, "With the US economy already expected to slow under pressure from the Trump administration's high import tariffs, a rise in oil prices resulting from the conflict "could provide powerful downward pressure on households' ability to spend... and that could slow GDP even more."

Samsung Electronics Q2 profit likely to drop 39% on weak AI chip sales
Samsung Electronics is expected to forecast a 39% plunge in second-quarter operating profit on Tuesday, weighed down by delays in supplying advanced memory chips to artificial intelligence chip leader Nvidia . The world's biggest maker of memory chips is projected to report an April-June operating profit of 6.3 trillion won ($4.62 billion), its lowest income in six quarters, according to LSEG SmartEStimate. The prolonged weakness in its financial performance has deepened investor concerns over the South Korean tech giant's ability to catch up with smaller rivals in developing high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips used in artificial intelligence data centres. Its key rivals, SK Hynix and Micron , have benefited from robust demand for memory chips needed for AI, but Samsung's gains have been subdued as it relies on the China market, where sales of advanced chips have been restricted by the U.S. Its efforts to get the latest version of its HBM chips to Nvidia certified by Nvidia are also moving slowly, analysts said. "HBM revenue likely remained flat in the second quarter, as China sales restrictions persist and Samsung has yet to begin supplying its HBM3E 12-high chips to Nvidia," said Ryu Young-ho, a senior analyst at NH Investment & Securities. He said Samsung's shipments of the new chip to Nvidia are unlikely to be significant this year. Samsung, which expected in March that meaningful progress over its HBM chip could come as early as June, declined to comment on whether its HBM 3E 12-layer chips had passed Nvidia's qualification process. The company, however, has started supplying the chip to AMD , the U.S. firm said in June. Samsung's smartphone sales are likely to remain solid, helped by demand for stock ahead of potential U.S. tariffs on imported smartphones, analysts said. Many of its key businesses including chips, smartphones and home appliances continue to face business uncertainty from various U.S. trade policies including President Donald Trump's proposal for a 25% tariff on non-US-made-smartphones and the July 9 deadline for "reciprocal" tariffs against many of its trading partners. The U.S. is also considering revoking authorisations granted to global chipmakers including Samsung, making it more difficult for them to receive U.S. technology at their plants in China. Shares in Samsung, the worst performing stock among major memory chipmakers this year, have climbed about 19% this year, underperforming a 27.3% rise in the benchmark KOSPI.

Parliament's Public Accounts Committee to discuss Air India AL-171 crash tomorrow; civil aviation officials called
New Delhi [India], July 7 (ANI): A meeting of Parliament's Public Accounts Committee is scheduled for Tuesday, where top officials from the Civil Aviation Ministry, including the Civil Aviation Secretary and DGCA, are expected to appear, with the recent Air India Flight AI-171 crash in Ahmedabad, likely to be discussed alongside aviation safety concerns.

However, the primary focus during the meeting will be on how passenger and other fees, airline charges, and tariffs are decided and regulated for public infrastructure and services at airports, as well as on safety concerns in aviation. On June 12 this year, a London-bound Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. The aircraft slammed into a hostel complex of BJ Medical College, killing 241 of the 242 people on board, including former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani.

Hindi protests, and why DMK support for Sena (UBT) is a leap
In the tumultuous language politics of India, few ironies cut deeper than Tamil Nadu's ruling DMK hailing the protests against 'Hindi imposition' by Shiv Sena factions in Maharashtra. Just over six decades ago, the then undivided Shiv Sena was among the first political parties to weaponise regional identity in post-Independence India when it targeted South Indians, especially Tamils, in Mumbai, for 'stealing' jobs of locals and 'refusing to assimilate into Marathi culture'. Sena founder Bal Thackeray was vituperative in his attacks on 'Madrasis', as he dubbed all migrants to the city from South India, fuelling violence against them in Maharashtra in the 1960s and 1970s. Now, in a moment of political and historical significance, the Shiv Sena (UBT)'s protests against the Centre's language policy, seen as promoting Hindi, have earned it the praise of none other than Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK chief M K Stalin. 'The language rights struggle waged by the DMK and the people of Tamil Nadu across generations is now spiralling beyond state borders,' Stalin said on Saturday, hailing the 'protest storm' in Maharashtra, particularly in the wake of a joint 'victory rally' held by Uddhav Thackeray and estranged cousin Raj Thackeray after the Maharashtra government withdrew a government order that seen as promoting Hindi. Given the Sena's history, Stalin's remarks seem little more than transactional in nature. However, it could be built by the Opposition into a resistance to the BJP's 'majoritarian language policy', cutting across the North-South axis. Pointing out that 'Hindi imposition' was not new to Tamil Nadu, DMK organisation secretary R S Bharathi said, 'Our leader (DMK founder and former CM) C N Annadurai said this six decades ago that Hindi imposition is a crucial threat. It's just that every other state is realising it. We implemented the two-language formula many decades ago, realising this threat of Hindi imposition.' Tamil Nadu had earlier taken the lead in opposing the Modi government's New Education Policy (NEP) for its three-language formula, which sees such moves as both unconstitutional and culturally invasive. In Tamil Nadu, the opposition to Hindi goes deeper, to the legacy of the Self-Respect Movement and anti-Hindi agitations dating back to the 1930s. Stalin has been raising the fact that Tamil Nadu has been denied over Rs 2,000 crore in funds for refusing to implement the Centre's Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan. Ramu Manivannan, a political scholar who taught Politics at the University of Madras, and is currently working on a book on India's language debates from the 1940s, termed the alignment politically potent but ideologically awkward. 'If Stalin sees this as just another anti-Hindi protest, it is inadequate,' he said. 'For Tamil Nadu, language politics is cultural and civilisational. Marathi pride, on the other hand, often flirts with exclusionary populism.' Manivannan's reference is to the fact that unlike in Dravidian parties, where Hindi opposition is linked to cultural identity, the Sena's renewed protests originate as much from Maratha pride as political survival. After a string of electoral defeats, and the looming threat of irrelevance in the coming municipal polls, the Sena (UBT) is looking to consolidate its traditional Marathi vote behind it. 'The language plank offers a way to reconnect with its base, putting a distance between itself and its Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies,' Manivannan said. Incidentally, after Stalin's remarks backing the Sena (UBT), the latter clarified that there was a difference between their stands. Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut said Sunday that while the party opposes the Centre's efforts to make Hindi mandatory in primary education, it does not support a complete rejection of the language. 'The southern states have been fighting for this issue for years. Their stand is against the imposition of Hindi, which means they will not speak Hindi and neither let anyone speak the language. But that is not our stand in Maharashtra. We speak Hindi… Our stand is that the strictness for Hindi in primary schools will not be tolerated,' Raut said.
