SoftBank Comeback on Track with $6 Bn Net Profit

The world’s largest technology investor, SoftBank Group Corp. is all set to go on offensive after a year again. It has logged more than $6 billion profit for the July-September quarter, driven mainly due to the rising share prices and increasing valuations of some of its portfolio companies.
The strong performance of Japan’s conglomerate continues as a remarkable comeback for its best known $100 billion Vision Fund and its Chief Executive Masayoshi Son. Half a year ago, it has reported worst ever performance of $9 billion annual loss. 
The company’s net profit for the July-September quarter came ¥627.5 billion around $6.1 billion, as compared to its net loss of $6.4 billion in the year-ago quarter. On Monday, shares of the company were 5.4 per cent up as returns on investments were up. Currently, the company is sitting on a huge cash pile and ready to further invest in tech startups to get great returns on its investments.
Online real-estate brokerage firm, Beike Zhaofang is the star performer during the July-September quarter, as its share prices shot up since it went public in New York in August. SoftBank with Vision Fund2 had invested in Beike Zhaofang and has booked paper gains of ¥537 billion on its investment.

Canada Spy Agency Warns of India, China Meddling in Election on 28th April

Dhruva Kulkarni

Canada’s intelligence agency, CSIS, has warned that India and China are likely to interfere in the 28th April election, with Russia and Pakistan also posing potential threats.

The report comes amid strained Canada-India and Canada-China relations, with both nations denying the allegations. CSIS found evidence of foreign interference in the 2019 and 2021 elections but stated that the outcomes were not affected, noting Canada’s slow response.

Deputy Director Vanessa Lloyd warned that China will likely use AI-enabled tools to influence the upcoming election.

Tensions between Canada and India worsened last year after Canada accused India of an assassination plot against a Sikh separatist, leading to diplomatic expulsions.

CSIS continues to monitor foreign interference threats, emphasising the need to safeguard democratic processes and maintain public trust.

Trump Announces 25% Additional Tariff on Venezuela Trade

US President Donald Trump announced new tariffs targeting nations purchasing oil and gas from Venezuela.

On 24 March, Trump declared that the US would impose an additional 25% tariff from 2 April on countries importing oil from Venezuela, impacting both direct and indirect buyers.

“Venezuela has been very hostile to the United States and the freedoms we uphold. Any country purchasing oil or gas from Venezuela will have to pay a 25% tariff to the US on any trade they conduct with us,” Trump stated on Truth Social.

This new “secondary tariff” will be added to the existing duties, further tightening economic pressure on Venezuela.

In his announcement, Trump claimed that Venezuela has been deliberately sending criminals to the US, which he cited as one of the “numerous reasons” for imposing the tariff.

The decision, which could further destabilize global trade, is also expected to affect major importers like China, possibly disrupting supply chains.

Since his return to the White House in January, Trump has actively imposed tariffs on both US allies and rivals, using trade policies as leverage for economic and diplomatic negotiations.

The final decision on implementing the new levy will be determined by the US Secretary of State in consultation with other government agencies.

US Trade Envoy to Visit India Before Trump’s Tariff Plan

Dhruva Kulkarni

With Trump’s reciprocal tariffs nearing implementation, a top US trade official is visiting India for key trade discussions.

Assistant USTR for South and Central Asia, Brendan Lynch, will lead a delegation to India from March 25-29, according to a US Embassy spokesperson.

The Wall Street Journal reports that while the White House remains committed to reciprocal tariffs, sectors like automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors are unlikely to be affected initially.

The “dirty 15” nations with the highest trade deficits with the US may still face country-specific tariff rates instead of a tiered system.

Although most imports will be impacted, the final tariff structure is still being determined.

The visit underscores ongoing trade negotiations as both nations work to manage potential disruptions. March 25-29 talks are expected to clarify India’s stance and possible exemptions before the official tariff rollout next week.

Trump Announces Upcoming US-Ukraine Minerals Deal

Dhruva Kulkarni

Donald Trump stated on Thursday that the US will soon sign a minerals and natural resources deal with Ukraine, linking it to his ongoing peace efforts after recent talks with Russian and Ukrainian leaders.

Speaking at a White House event, he mentioned discussions with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, which resulted in a 30-day pause in Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Trump believes these efforts could save thousands of lives and remains hopeful about ending the war.

The US and Ukraine had previously agreed to develop Ukraine’s critical mineral resources, with Trump viewing it as a way for Kyiv to repay US support.

However, efforts to finalise the deal faced setbacks after a heated White House meeting with Zelenskyy last month, temporarily halting US military aid.

A revised version of the deal is reportedly more detailed but does not yet include Ukraine’s requested security guarantees. At the same time, the EU has yet to approve additional artillery funding for Kyiv.

Tesla recalls 46,096 Cybertrucks over loose panels posing road hazard

Dhruva Kulkarni

Tesla is recalling 46,096 Cybertrucks in the US due to a defect that could cause an exterior panel to detach while driving, posing a road hazard.

The recall marks a setback for Tesla, as the Cybertruck’s success is crucial to its growth amid rising competition and an ageing vehicle lineup.

Tesla will replace the faulty rail assembly free of charge, with the recalled vehicles representing most Cybertrucks on the road.

Demand for the unconventional EV pickup has already shown signs of weakness following delays, and Tesla shares fell nearly 2% in premarket trading.

Tesla shares have dropped 42% this year amid a sluggish EV market and concerns over CEO Elon Musk’s growing government role.

The company led the US recalls in 2024, with 5.1 million vehicles affected, though most issues were resolved through software updates.
