The governments yearend review for 2024 states that Indias Memorandum of Understanding MoU with the US on essential minerals is set to strengthen bilateral cooperation, especially in the electric vehicle EV sectors. To give India access to the US EV tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act IRA, the proposed Critical Minerals Partnership Agreement CMPA seeks to transform the Memorandum of Understanding MoU into a framework similar to a free trade agreement FTA. Significant foreign investment in Indias EV manufacturing could result from this. The assessment also mentioned ongoing discussions for free trade agreements FTAs with several nations, including the UK and the EU, as well as increased export credit insurance for small exporters and greater market access for Indian fish exports to China.

Suez Canal Revenues Plummet by $7 Billion in 2024 Amid Regional Turmoil

President Abdel Fattah alSisi claimed that Egypts earnings from the Suez Canal had fallen by over $7 billion in 2024. Compared to 2023, this represents a startling drop of more than 60% nevertheless, Sisi did not elaborate on the circumstances that resulted in this loss. The significant decline in revenue is ascribed to persistent regional issues, specifically the over 100 strikes on ships in the Red Sea that Yemeni Houthi fighters have carried out since November. Amid the protracted conflict in Gaza, these attacks carried out in sympathy with Palestinians, have forced shipping corporations to divert ships across Africa rather than via the canal. Due to this diversion, international trade has been affected, resulting in higher shipping costs and delivery delays. Read More..

Bank of Japan Forecasts Potential $13 Billion Loss Amid Plans to Raise Interest Rates

According to projections released by the Bank of Japan, if shortterm borrowing prices increase to 2%, it might experience a shortterm loss of up to $1

According to projections released by the Bank of Japan, if shortterm borrowing prices increase to 2%, it might experience a shortterm loss of up to $13 billion. According to this prediction, published in a recent study, the BOJ plans to raise shortterm interest rates gradually to 0.25%, which is considered neutral for the economy. The projections indicate that the BOJ may experience a yearly net loss of roughly 2 trillion yen in fiscal years 2027 and 2028 if shortterm rates rise to 2% with a widening yield differential. Earnings are anticipated to increase by fiscal 2031, though. After 10 years of heavy stimulus, the BOJ is pursuing sustainable inflation targets, tightening policy, and cutting bond purchases.

According to a Reuters survey, South Koreas exports are expected to have grown by 4.0% in December, continuing their 15th straight month of growth. This comes after Novembers 1.4% increase. Despite this encouraging development, economists predict that possible U.S. tariffs will slow down export momentum in the upcoming year, significantly harming South Koreas crucial commercial connection with China.

The overall demand for South Korean goods is anticipated to decline despite the continued strength of semiconductor exports. In addition, a 4.6% increase in imports is expected, and a $4.21 billion trade surplus is projected for December. Read More..

OpenAIs API, ChatGPTs AI chatbot, and its texttovideo tool, Sora, were all impacted by a major outage that began at 130 P.M. ET on Thursday. "Internal server error" warnings were sent to users, and around 200 P.M. ET, OpenAI confirmed significant error rates on its status page. By 615 P.M. ET, Sora had resumed operations, and APIs had started to recover, but ChatGPT was still partially down. A power failure at its South Central US data centre was attributed to an "upstream provider," most likely Microsoft, OpenAIs cloud partner. Xbox Cloud gameplay, storage, and APIs were all impacted. 5 P.M. ET restored power, but after other recent ChatGPT disruptions, the incident underscores the risks of cloudreliant systems.

The lack of training data and the expensive development expenditures have caused significant delays in OpenAIs GPT5, codenamed Orion, development. The model has taken far longer to construct than expected—more than 18 months. Its two monthslong, intensive training sessions cost over $500 million each but did not produce the expected breakthroughs. Given its operating costs, GPT5 is not lucrative enough because it is slightly better than current models. Microsoft, OpenAIs most prominent supporter, allegedly anticipated a mid2024 delivery, but the exact date is now unknown. Although more training sessions are required, the models economic viability may be questioned due to potential delays caused by restricted data resources. Read More..
