And some conservative personalities are calling out the company's new video ad for being too "woke." But that "exuberant modernism," particularly in the company's video ad, is being mocked by some people online. AdvertisementJaguar's new video ad features models in colorful, modern clothing, and doesn't show any cars. (Current Jaguar models left in their inventories will be sold as pre-owned, a company spokesperson previously told Business Insider.) Jaguar's new brand strategy was created by its own in-house design team, not an external agency, according to the UK's Creative Review.

But one thing is missing from the storied British carmaker Jaguar's new rebrand: cars. In a press release accompanying its rebrand, Jaguar's chief creative officer, Sir Gerry McGovern, explained the thinking behind the rollout. Jaguar sold fewer than 67,000 cars in the entire world last year, approximately half the number it sold in the fiscal year incorporating the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. In response to other X users asking why the ad didn’t feature any cars, Jaguar’s X account responded, “The story is unfolding.

Global trade changed considerably over the past four years — benefiting India — as President Joe Biden retained much of Trump's tariffs on China. EnergyOn the one hand, analysts expect Indian interests to be aligned with those of the United States regarding oil prices . Trump's previous term in office, whether intentionally or coincidently, saw moderate to low oil prices. As India imports over 90% of its oil needs, New Delhi will likely welcome any move by the U.S. to keep oil prices low. A quick resolution of the war in Ukraine — Trump's campaign promise — would also prove to be negative for oil prices.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that he had nothing to do with Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s conservative policy initiative to reshape the federal government.

ZorcJump to the full list of authors, editors and contributorsSpokespeople for Project 2025 have denied that they are advocates for any particular candidate, and Project 2025 has no official ties to the Trump campaign. To limit the appearance of connection, Mr. Trump’s transition team has been excluding prominent people linked to Project 2025 from its preparations. Project 2025 additionally calls for the dismantling of the federal Education Department, which Mr. Trump has also pledged to do.

☆ Musk's win on India satellite spectrum raises prospect of price war with Ambani
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-17 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Having just lost a battle with Elon Musk over how India's satellite spectrum is awarded, Asia's richest man Mukesh Ambani could face a bigger challenge if Musk's Starlink launches services in India and the two go head-to-head on price. India's government said on Tuesday it will allocate spectrum for satellite broadband administratively and not via auction, hours after Musk criticized the auction route being sought by rival billionaire Ambani as "unprecedented." The Indian government says its decision to allocate spectrum administratively to whoever applies for it is in line with global trends. It has not set a timeframe for when the process will start but Musk's Starlink has already applied for necessary permits. Starlink's entry into the Indian market would create a new battleground between the two billionaires: pricing.

Franklin Templeton's Yi Ping Liao describes the South Asian country as "a fertile hunting ground to identify stocks." And if this continues, you can potentially see lower equity risk premiums for the market," the assistant portfolio manager told CNBC Pro on Sept. 12. She likes that the Indian market offers the "opportunity to identify good stocks," following an improvement in its breadth. Among the names Liao is betting on is automaker Tata Motors . Elsewhere, in the tourism and hospitality industry, the portfolio manager likes hotel chain Indian Hotels — the company behind premium brands like Taj, Vivanta and Ginger.
