Against that backdrop, he named one ETF to play this small-cap corner of the market: the iShares MSCI India Small-Cap ETF . For investors who want to invest in large-cap stocks, he recommends the iShares MSCI India ETF . A third ETF that Jayaraman likes is the WisdomTree India Earnings Fund , which tracks an index that measures the performance of companies traded in India that are profitable. While both funds invest in emerging market stocks, the International Opportunities Fund also has stocks of companies in developed countries outside the United States.

They hit back, imposing tariffs on American soybeans, whiskey, orange juice and motorcycles. U.S. agricultural exports plummeted, prompting Mr. Trump to send $23 billion to farmers to help offset losses. Now, as he runs for president again, Mr. Trump is promising to ratchet up his trade war to a much greater degree. He has proposed “universal baseline tariffs on most foreign products,” including higher levies on certain countries that devalue their currency. Mr. Trump, who once proclaimed himself “Tariff Man,” has long argued that tariffs would boost American factories, end the gap between what America imported and what it exported and increase American jobs.

Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a transcribed conversation with Simmy Dhillon, from London, about financially supporting his parents. They stayed in their blue-collar jobs for so long because they couldn't afford to take risks. It's been my proudest achievement, and I don't think anything can top it. AdvertisementIn June, we paid a lump sum of around £51,000 using dividends from the business to pay off my parents' mortgage. If I had a salaried job, even if it paid well, I don't think I'd be able to support my family in the same way.

CNN —Playing safe is not an option for wildlife photographer Greg du Toit. Unlike many in his field, du Toit says he doesn’t use bait, camera traps, digital manipulation, captive bred animals or drones. Du Toit says that his photographs may look beautiful, "but the reality of getting those photographs is very different." Du Toit famously once spent 16 months photographing lions at a waterhole in Kenya’s South Rift Valley. Du Toit: I want to photograph animals in their wild habitats, doing what they naturally do.

☆ The world’s future energy wars will be fought under the sea

The technology to store renewable energy for long periods hasn’t quite been mastered, either. The interconnector would send renewable energy both east and west, taking advantage of the sun’s diurnal journey across the sky. The transatlantic interconnector is still a proposal, but networks of green energy cables are starting to sprawl across the world’s sea beds. They are fast becoming part of a global climate solution, transmitting large amounts of renewable energy to countries struggling to make the green transition alone. Not all of them carry renewable power exclusively — that’s sometimes determined by what makes up each country’s energy grid — but new ones are typically being built for a green energy future.

Preparations are being made for Modi’s visit to Moscow and dates will be announced soon, Kremlin spokesperson Yuri Ushakov said, according to Russia’s state-owned TASS news agency. “I can confirm that we are preparing a visit by the Prime Minister of India,” he said, according to TASS. India’s ties with Russia date back decades to the Cold War and have remained strong despite repeated sanctions on Moscow from Western governments. At the same time, India’s ties with the United States have grown stronger, amid shared concerns over China’s assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region. Modi met with US President Joe Biden during a state visit to Washington last June, in a trip further cementing their defense, trade and technology partnership.

Melissa & Doug was eager to shift some production to other countries. The Melissa & Doug executive was surprised to see that the plant could make high-quality wooden toys, at prices comparable to those in China. Late last year, Sunlord completed its first batch of products for Melissa & Doug, a modest order of about 10,000 items, and now is cranking out 25,000 per month.

☆ Russia's oil and gas revenue is reportedly set to boom 50% this month
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-26 | by ( Jennifer Sor | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Russia's energy trade likely boomed last month despite sanctions. That's a 50% increase from the prior year, a sign Moscow's energy trade is getting on despite restrictions. According to Reuters, Russia's oil and gas revenue is set to surge to $9.4 billion in June, up roughly 50% from the $6 billion it took in from oil and gas sales in June of last year. The increase in revenue has largely been spurred by declining subsidies to Russia's oil refineries, which fell $60 billion from last month. That may encourage refineries to export oil and gas overseas for a higher price, as opposed to keeping oil and gas for domestic sales.

Hong Kong CNN —China’s Chang’e-6 lunar module returned to Earth Tuesday, successfully completing its historic mission to collect the first ever samples from the far side of the moon in a major step forward for the country’s ambitious space program. “The Chang’e-6 lunar exploration mission has been a complete success,” said Zhang Kejian, head of the China National Space Administration (CNSA), from the control room. Once they receive the samples, Chinese scientists are expected to share data and carry out joint research with international partners, before Beijing later opens the samples for access by international teams, according to statements from CNSA officials. China and the US are not alone in eyeing the national prestige, potential scientific benefits, access to resources and further deep space exploration that successful moon missions could bring. Last year, India landed its first spacecraft on the moon, while Russia’s first lunar mission in decades ended in failure when its Luna 25 probe crashed into the moon’s surface.

Assange, who was released from prison in the UK on June 24, has long been a polarizing figure in his native Australia. Once Assange pleads guilty, under the plea agreed with the US, he will have spent five years in solitary confinement.
