Wall Street advanced on Thursday as โprogress toward ending the Iran war buoyed investor sentiment, while disappointing results from Broadcom led a chip selloff that held the Nasdaq's gains in check.The blue-chip Dow surged, hitting a record closing high with a boost from healthcare and financial stocks.The S&P 500 posted more muted gains, while the Nasdaq โended essentially unchanged. Chipmaker Broadcom โ missed revenue โ expectations, sending its shares tumbling and casting a pall over the AI frenzy, which has sent chip stocks soaring so far this year."About the only blemish โon the market at this point is Broadcom, and I think investors are buying the dip," said Paul Nolte, senior wealth adviser and market โstrategist at Murphy & Sylvest in Elmhurst, Illinois. "I don't think investors have given up on chips yet, but what they've yet to come to grips with, 'Is this real? Are these valuations legitimate?' I'm not sure yet that investors have really questioned that." The U.S. House of Representatives โpassed a measure on Wednesday that would block President Donald Trump from continuing โ the war on Iran. Additionally, โa U.S.-mediated ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, an essential condition of an Iranian agreement to โa peace deal, bolstered โoptimism of a near-term resolution to the war. But the truce was rejected by the pro-Iran Hezbollah, โ which said it would not withdraw troops from Lebanon.A drop in front-month crude โfutures reflected hopes that tanker traffic through the crucial Strait of Hormuz could shortly resume."How many โdeals have we had? It's always right around the corner, a corner we've yet to reach," Nolte added. "Things are moving, but are they moving at a pace that's going to allow the world to get back to what passes for normal in a few weeks, a few months, or maybe sometime next year?"On the economic front, initial jobless claims unexpectedly rose 6.1%, and first-quarter labor costs and productivity were revised sharply lower. A report from Challenger, Gray and Christmas showed layoffs announced by U.S. corporations jumped 11% in โMay to 97,006. Nearly 40% of those layoffs were attributed to AI.According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 gained 31.14 points, or 0.41%, to end at 7,584.82 points, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 19.72 points, โor 0.07%, to 26,834.26. The โDow Jones Industrial Average rose โ 875.09 points, or 1.73%, to 51,562.16.Chipmaker Marvell Technology gained, while Advanced Micro Devices, Micron Technology and Qualcomm lost ground on the day.The healthcare sector got a boost from UnitedHealth after Bank of America raised its rating on the healthcare conglomerate's shares to "buy."The financial index's rebound โfollowed a sharp selloff in the previous session due to revived concerns over private credit. Blackstone shares advanced after it became the latest asset manager to cap withdrawals from its flagship private credit fund following a rise in redemption requests. Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike slumped after reporting an increase in quarterly operating expenses. An investor roadshow for Elon Musk-led SpaceX began on Thursday ahead of its market debut on June 12. It aims to raise $75 billion in a record IPO that would value it at $1.75 trillion.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has compounded certain violations of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) by Myntra Designs Private Limited, paving the way for the closure of an Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation into the matter.In a statement issued on Thursday, the ED said the RBI passed a compounding order on April 20, 2026 under Section 15 of FEMA after receiving a "No Objection" from the agency. The order resulted in the termination of the investigation against the company for the alleged contraventions.The case stemmed from an ED probe initiated in July 2025 on the basis of what the agency described as credible information regarding possible FEMA violations by Myntra, linked companies and directors for FDI "contravention" of over Rs 1,654 crore.According to the ED, the violations related to delays in submitting Annual Performance Reports (APRs) for overseas investments and undertaking overseas direct investment commitments before complying with reporting requirements.The RBI compounded two contraventions. The first involved a delay in submitting APRs under the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Any Foreign Security) Regulations, 2004, covering transactions worth Rs 42.85 crore. The second related to undertaking financial commitments through overseas direct investment despite pending APR submissions, involving Rs 3.03 crore.The company subsequently approached the RBI seeking compounding of the violations under Section 15 of FEMA."On reference from RBI, the ED issued no objection for such compounding in line with the true spirit of the Act," the agency said.Following the ED's no-objection, the RBI compounded the violations through its order dated April 20, 2026, on payment of a one-time amount of Rs 2.88 lakh.

Mumbai: Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata conveyed to Tata Sons board after the meeting last week that several key issues remained unresolved, rendering any formal discussion on the reappointment of the holding companyโs chairman N Chandrasekaran premature, said people familiar with the matter.That could lead to a deadlock between Chandra and Tata, they said. Tata sought greater clarity from Chandrasekaran on the groupโs five-year strategic roadmap, the framework for providing an exit option to Shapoorji Pallonji Group that doesnโt involve Tata Sons going public as well as his formal position on the long-debated matter of the listing.Also Read: Adani Group now focused on building assets at scale, says Gautam AdaniThese issues have gained traction amid turbulence at the Trusts and the holding company of the conglomerate over governance and other matters, amid questions over the performance of units such as Air India and BigBasket.Towards the end of the May 26 board meeting, a few directors are learnt to have informally asked whether Chandrasekaranโs reappointment for a third term could be taken up next time.131429115Consensus NeededNoel Tata responded that it was still too soon, pointing to unresolved issues and unanswered questions that require further engagement, said the people cited.Chief executives of Air India, Tata Electronics and Tata Digital made presentations on their respective businesses to the board at the meeting. Noel Tata is learnt to have provided extensive feedback on BigBasket and Air India, executives close to the matter said.Chandrasekaran had called for a special board meeting on May 26 to respond in detail to concerns raised by Noel Tata at the holding companyโs previous board meeting on February 24 at which consideration of his reappointment for a third term had been deferred. Tata Trusts controls Tata Sons with a 66% holding. SP Group has an 18% stake that it wants to sell in order to repay debt.Also Read: Infosys CEO Salil Parekh earned Rs 82.6 crore in FY26, up 2.5%Noel Tata had raised concerns over losses at Air India and BigBasket and called for course correction. Tata Sons is slated to hold its next board meeting on June 12 to discuss annual accounts. People aware of the exchanges said Noel Tata also indicated that any timeline or date for considering the reappointment would need to be discussed and arrived at through consensus.Tata Sons and Noel Tata did not comment. According to executives close to Tata Sons, discussions with SP Group on an exit plan do not carry significant weight until clarity emerges from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on the matter of the listing. โThe value of Tata group is too high to easily consider a non-listing option to buy back stakes from SP Group. Until there is clarity from RBI on the matter, no one can proceed,โ one of them said. As an โupperlayerโ non-banking finance company, Tata Sons is required to launch an initial public offering, potentially diluting ownership. It has sought exemption from RBI.Chandrasekaran is also understood to be unwilling to outline any formal five-year growth plan at this stage. He is similarly not in a hurry to raise the matter of reappointment, officials close to the matter said. During Ratan Tataโs tenure, the issue of reappointment was typically brought up a month before a term ended, officials said. It was Tata Trusts that had passed a resolution in 2025 to raise the matter of Chandrasekaranโs reappointment a year before the end of his term to ensure leadership stability.The May 26 meeting saw Chandrasekaran getting chief executives to lead detailed presentations before the board and Tata Trusts chairman Noel Tata, people familiar with the deliberations said. Unlike the previous board meeting, which had been marked by sharper scrutiny and unresolved questions, this session focused extensively on operating businesses.

Japan has increased the maximum fees that foreign nationals may be charged for renewing or changing their residency status, with the new cap set at 100,000 yen ($630) for standard residency permits and 300,000 yen for permanent residency applications. according to a report by Nikkei Asia. The measure was approved by the Japanese parliament on Friday as the country prepares for a growing foreign resident population and plans new integration programmes. The previous upper limit for residency renewal or status-change fees was 10,000 yen. According to Japan's Immigration Services Agency, the revised fee structure reflects services provided to foreign residents. While the law sets the maximum amounts, the actual fees will be decided later through a cabinet order. Under the proposed structure, fees for standard residency permits will vary depending on the length of stay. A three-month residency period is expected to cost about 10,000 yen, while a five-year permit could cost around 70,000 yen. The current fee for in-person renewal applications is 6,000 yen regardless of the duration of stay. Additional revenue to fund integration measures The fee for permanent residency applications is expected to rise to about 200,000 yen. The government said reductions or exemptions will be available for applicants facing financial hardship, and the Immigration Services Agency plans to issue guidelines on eligibility for such relief. The higher fees could generate up to 90 billion yen in additional revenue. Japan's foreign resident population exceeded 4 million at the end of 2025, and the government said the funds will be used to strengthen measures that help foreign residents adapt to life in the country. Planned initiatives include expanding consultation services offered by local governments, improving Japanese-language education and supporting programmes that teach daily-life rules and customs. The government intends to introduce these educational programmes in phases beginning in fiscal 2028. The revenue will also help cover the costs of addressing illegal residency cases. Previously, fees collected were limited to covering administrative expenses such as personnel costs. Faster rollout of JESTA screening system The legal revisions also include changes affecting short-term visitors. Japan will introduce the Japan Electronic System for Travel Authorization (JESTA) as early as fiscal 2028, two years earlier than originally planned, as per Nikkei Asia report. Under the system, travellers from visa-exempt countries will need to submit information online before departure, including their travel purpose, occupation and accommodation details. Authorities will use the information to screen travellers before arrival. Airlines will be required to deny boarding to passengers who do not obtain authorization. The government said the system is expected to help prevent illegal stays while simplifying immigration procedures and reducing waiting times at airports. The legislation faced opposition from the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Japanese Communist Party, which argued that the fee increases would place an excessive burden on foreign residents. However, the measure was passed by parliament and is set to take effect as Japan continues to adjust its immigration and residency policies amid rising foreign arrivals and residency numbers.

New Delhi [India]: The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has imposed a penalty of Rs 7 lakh on Vajiram and Ravi IAS Study Centre LLP for allegedly publishing misleading advertisements and concealing material information related to the success of candidates in the UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE).According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, the final order was passed by the CCPA, headed by Chief Commissioner Nidhi Khare and Commissioner Anupam Mishra, after the authority found that the coaching institute had prominently advertised the achievements of successful UPSC CSE 2023 candidates without disclosing the specific courses undertaken by those candidates.According to the press release, the institute had claimed on its official website that "8 Rank Holders in the Top 10 are from Vajiram & Ravi", "37 Rank Holders in the Top 50 are from Vajiram & Ravi", and that "more than 30 per cent of the officers selected through UPSC Civil Services Examination are students of Vajiram & Ravi" every year.The CCPA's investigation reportedly found that seven of the eight top-10 rank holders and 29 of the 37 candidates in the top 50 had enrolled only in the institute's free Interview Guidance Programme (IGP).Also Read: Nearly 5.49 lakh candidates appeared in civil services preliminary exam: UPSCThe authority further noted that a large majority of successful candidates associated with the institute in recent years had participated only in the IGP.

By featuring such candidates in advertisements for comprehensive coaching programmes without clarifying the nature of their enrolment, the institute allegedly created the impression that their success was attributable to its full-length coaching courses.The authority held that the non-disclosure of important information regarding the courses opted for by successful candidates amounted to a misleading advertisement under Section 2(28)(iv) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and violated consumers' right to be informed under Section 2(9) of the Act, the release said.The press release stated that the CCPA has so far issued more than 60 notices to coaching institutes for misleading advertisements and unfair trade practices and has imposed penalties exceeding Rs 1.46 crore on coaching centres preparing students for examinations such as UPSC, IIT-JEE, NEET, RBI and other competitive tests.
