Cummins beats quarterly revenue estimates on generator demand; tariff concerns linger By Apratim Sarkar and Abhinav Parmar -U.S. truck engine maker Cummins Inc (NYSE:CMI) on Tuesday reported second-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates, driven by strong demand for its power generation systems, despite uncertainties surrounding the impact of tariffs. Shares of the company were up about 3% in afternoon trading. The company’s power generation products, such as generators, have seen strong demand from AI-driven investments towards data centers. However, it expects North America truck demand to sharply decline in the third quarter, as tariff uncertainties drag new truck orders to multi-year lows. "We view current order levels as unsustainably low, but immediate catalysts for recovery are not yet clear," CFO Mark Smith said on a post-earnings conference call. However, "favorable pricing within light-duty markets continued to benefit margin performance within engines," according to Jefferies analyst Stephen Volkmann. Cummins declined to reinstate its full-year revenue forecast, withdrawn last quarter, stating it has not yet felt the full impact of tariffs, with their duration and scale still uncertain. The company added it has worked to offset tariff impacts and expects to be near price-cost neutral by the fourth quarter, despite a hit to its second-quarter profitability. Its power systems segment revenue rose 19% to $1.89 billion in the quarter, while the components segment fell 9% and the engine segment declined 8%. The Indiana-based company reported a net income of $890 million or $6.43 per share, compared to $726 million or $5.26 per share a year ago.

European equity funds log sharp outflows on tariff worries; US funds attract inflows (Reuters) -European equity funds came under selling pressure in the week through July 30 as a rally in regional stocks cooled, with investors growing cautious over the uncertain economic implications of the U.S.–EU trade deal and signs of weakening corporate earnings. However, a record-setting rally on Wall Street drew investors into U.S. equity funds. According to LSEG Lipper data, investors offloaded a net $41.12 billion worth of European funds in their largest weekly sales since at least 2018 but scooped up U.S. funds worth a net $6.34 billion to end a two week trend of net selling. They also added a net $3.05 billion into Asian funds. Some European capitals criticized the U.S.-EU trade deal struck last weekend, saying the headline 15% tariff on EU goods, up from a previous average of 1.47%, tilts in favor of the United States and offers little support for the bloc’s economic prospects. The Stoxx 600 index hit nearly a month’s low of 540.63 on Friday, while the S&P 500 closed 0.37% lower on the previous day’s trade after logging a fresh record high of 6427.02. Global equity sectoral funds saw a second successive weekly inflow, amounting to $1.65 billion. The financial, tech and industrial sectors received a significant $1.09 billion, $931 million and $691 million, respectively while healthcare witnessed a net $757 million in weekly sales. Debt oriented funds were popular for the 15th week in a row with a net $15.35 billion worth of investments in global bond funds. Short-term bond funds saw a massive $3.38 billion weekly inflow following a net $4 billion purchase the prior week. Euro denominated bond funds and government bond funds also witnessed a robust $2.85 billion and $1.5 billion weekly net purchase. Investors, meanwhile, withdrew $36.02 billion from money market funds in their largest weekly sales since May 28. In the commodities space, demand for gold and precious metals funds eased to a 10-week low, with a net $285.8 million in net inflows. Emerging markets saw upbeat demand, with investors snapping up $1.92 billion worth of equity funds, the most since July 2 and plowing in a net $1.31 billion into bond funds, data for a combined 29,684 funds showed. With valuations skyrocketing in 2024, many investors are uneasy putting more money into stocks. Unsure where to invest next? Get access to our proven portfolios and discover high-potential opportunities. In 2024 alone, ProPicks AI identified 2 stocks that surged over 150%, 4 additional stocks that leaped over 30%, and 3 more that climbed over 25%. That's an impressive track record.

Global equity funds see outflows on tariff concerns (Reuters) -Global investors pulled money out of equity funds in the week through July 16 as U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats and an inflation report indicating an increase in U.S. consumer prices, dampened risk sentiment. Investors withdrew a net $5.3 billion from global equity funds during the week, registering their first weekly net sales since the week to June 25, LSEG Lipper data showed. A U.S. inflation report on Tuesday showed that consumer prices increased at the sharpest pace in five months in June, suggesting tariffs were starting to have an impact on prices and potentially keeping the Federal Reserve on the sidelines until September. Investors divested a net $11.75 billion worth of U.S. equity funds following two weekly net purchases in a row. In contrast, they added European and Asian funds worth a net $4.66 billion and $718 million, respectively. Sectoral funds had a mixed set of data as the healthcare and technology sectors witnessed $1.91 billion and $578 million net outflows, while investors snapped up industrial and financial sector funds totaling a net $1.11 billion and $791 million, respectively. Global bond funds saw a buying spree extended into a 13th straight week, with approximately $12.85 billion net investments flowing into these funds. Euro denominated bond funds, short-term bond funds, high yield bond funds and government bond funds were popular as these funds witnessed a robust $3.57 billion, $3.08 billion, $1.98 billion and $1.33 billion, respectively in net inflows. Money market funds, meanwhile, lost about $21.3 billion in their first weekly net sales in three weeks. Emerging market funds came under pressure during the week as equities lost $208 million, while bonds had a net $1.12 billion weekly sales that ended an 11-week-long buying trend, data for a combined 29,644 funds showed.

London stocks edge down amid ongoing tariff concerns (Reuters) -British stocks edged lower on Tuesday, after a holiday closure on Monday, due to lingering tariff concerns and their economic impact, with attention shifting to upcoming Bank of England and U.S. Federal Reserve policy decisions. By 1019 GMT, the FTSE 100 was down 0.2%, poised to end its 15-session winning streak. The domestically focused midcap index also retreated 0.1%, on track to break its eight-session upward run. Investors have recently hoped for easing U.S.-China trade tensions, but limited details have kept markets struggling to interpret the headlines coming out of the White House. On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped a 100% tariff on movies produced outside the United States, while on Monday, he said he plans to announce pharmaceutical tariffs over the next two weeks. Attention now shifts to Bank of England policy decision, with expectations of a 25-basis-point rate cut on Thursday. The accompanying statement will be closely watched, as some investors call for a faster rate-cut approach due to global growth impacts from Trump’s tariffs. Meanwhile, U.S. Federal Reserve policymakers are likely to maintain current interest rates at Wednesday’s meeting. On the bluechip index, Anglo American (JO:AGLJ) fell 4.6%, after Peabody Energy said it may terminate the deal to buy the miner’s Australian coal assets due to issues at Moranbah North mine. An index of the UK’s industrial metal miners dropped 2%. Oil major BP (NYSE:BP) inched up 1% after Bloomberg News reported on Saturday that rival Shell is working with advisers to evaluate a potential acquisition of the company. Shares of Deliveroo (OTC:DROOF) hit an over three-year high, as U.S. meal delivery firm DoorDash (NASDAQ:DASH) agreed to buy the British rival in a deal valued at about 2.9 billion pounds ($3.85 billion). On the data front, Britain’s services sector, accounting for much of the economy, shrank in April for the first time since October 2023 and at the fastest pace in over two years, according to a survey that showed U.S. tariff turmoil is hammering exports and sentiment. Is AGLJ truely undervalued? With AGLJ making headlines, investors are asking: Is it truly valued fairly? InvestingPro's advanced AI algorithms have analyzed AGLJ alongside thousands of other stocks to uncover hidden gems with massive upside. And guess what? AGLJ wasn't at the top of the list.

South Africa 2025 economic growth forecast cut to 1.5% on tariff worries: Reuters poll JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African economic growth will be a bit weaker this year than thought a month ago partly due to trade tensions, with U.S. President Donald Trump having paused a 31% tariff for 90 days imposed on imports from Africa’s most industrialized nation. Economists polled by Reuters April 16-24 trimmed their forecasts by a median 0.2 percentage point to 1.5% for this year. Forecasts were in a 1.0%-2.1% range compared with 1.3%-2.3% in a March poll. But the forecast for 2026 was unchanged at 1.8%. The latest 2025 consensus from the survey of 25 economists was much more optimistic than the International Monetary Fund’s latest view of 1.0%, cut from 1.5% in January. Nicky Weimar, chief economist at Nedbank, lowered her GDP forecast for 2025 to 1.1%, 0.3 percentage point lower than her previous view. She said that was based on expectations for higher global tariff barriers, although she expects them to be ultimately less extreme than what the White House proposed on April 2. "Another reason for our downward revision is that the production side of the economy fared poorly in Q1. So, even before the tariff chaos hit, local producers and exporters were struggling," said Weimar. South Africa currently benefits from the African Growth and Opportunity Act, U.S. legislation that gives preferential tariff-free access to its markets to some countries. But renewal of the legislation, which expires later this year, is unlikely, according to analysts. In better news for South Africans struggling with the cost of living, inflation fell for the first time in five months in March to its lowest since June 2020, due to a drop in fuel costs and softer price rises for tuition. Price pressures got a further reprieve on Thursday after the government scrapped plans to raise value-added tax following a political backlash that threatened the stability of its ruling coalition. The proposal to raise VAT by 1 percentage point over two years, intended to boost state revenue, met resistance as Africa’s biggest economy grapples with sluggish growth and public discontent over rising living costs. Inflation is now expected to average 3.7% this year, lower than the 4.0% forecast in the previous poll. The 4.5% consensus for 2026 inflation, however, was unchanged. That near-term reprieve has reignited debate around more interest rate cuts from the South African Reserve Bank, which targets inflation between 3%-6%. Rates were held steady last month. South Africa’s repo rate, currently 7.50%, is expected to hold steady in May, the survey found, with policymakers waiting until either July or September for the next cut to 7.25%.

Volkswagen joins automakers in maintaining steady prices amid tariff concerns Investing.com -- In response to the growing concerns around tariffs, Volkswagen (ETR:VOWG_p) confirmed on Wednesday that it is joining the group of automakers committed to keeping prices steady. This move is aimed at easing the worries of car shoppers who fear that tariffs will increase prices on dealer lots. Earlier this month, a series of announcements from U.S. and foreign-owned carmakers revealed a variety of deals or price assurances. These offers are designed to attract a surge of nervous shoppers hoping to secure a deal before potential price hikes. Volkswagen, the German automaker, confirmed that it will hold prices steady through May. This decision mirrors that of Hyundai Motor (OTC:HYMTF), which has also pledged to maintain sticker prices on its current models through June 2. Earlier this month, Ford Motor (NYSE:F) and Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) also offered deep discounts across their lineups to attract shoppers. Nissan (OTC:NSANY) joined in by reducing prices on its 2025 Rogue and 2025 Pathfinder models. While the short-term buying frenzy has benefited carmakers and their dealers, auto executives have issued warnings about the long-term impact of sustained tariffs. They caution that these tariffs will add excessive costs to the industry and ultimately burden consumers. This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor.

RBI cuts interest rates by 25 bps in ’accommodative’ shift; flags tariff concerns Investing.com-- The Reserve Bank of India (NSE:BOI) reduced interest rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday in the first policy meeting of the new financial year, and shifted its stance to "accommodative" from "neutral". The RBI cut its benchmark policy repo rate by 25 basis points to 6.00%, after lowering it by the same margin in its previous meeting in February. The central bank left its cash reserve ratio- which outlines the amount of cash reserves to be held by local banks- at 4%. During his second policy decision after being appointed as RBI Governor, Sanjay Malhotra said the cut was driven by inflation remaining under the central bank’s target range of 4-6%, with significant easing in food inflation. Markets were positioning for a cut amid growing risks in Indian economic growth, as the country grapples with slowing consumer spending, which is a major growth driver. The central bank changed its stance to "accommodative" from "neutral", signaling a shift toward supporting economic growth—usually by lowering interest rates or keeping them low for an extended period. "Today’s change in stance from neutral to accommodative means that going forward, absent any shocks, the Monetary Policy Committee is considering only two options, that is, status quo or a rate cut," Malhotra said in a statement. RBI says tariffs could pressure rupee, dent growth Addressing the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on April 2, Malhotra said uncertainties may lead to possible currency pressure and therefore imported inflation. He said, the dent in global growth due to U.S. tariffs will also impede domestic growth, and shall hurt net exports, adding that quantification of the adverse impact on growth was difficult. The central bank lowered GDP growth projection for the current year by 20 basis points to 6.5% from its earlier assessment of 6.7% in the February policy, citing global trade uncertainty. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation for the financial year 2025-2026 was projected at 4%, lower than the 4.8% for the previous financial year. Friday’s policy decision is the second under new governor Sanjay Malhotra, who unexpectedly replaced Shaktikanta Das in December, amid a growing rift between Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government and the RBI over the need for lower interest rates.

Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders on US tariff concerns; shares decline Investing.com-- Nintendo (TYO:7974) shares fell sharply on Monday following the company’s announcement to postpone U.S. preorders for its upcoming Switch (NYSE:SWCH) 2 console due to uncertainties surrounding newly imposed U.S. tariffs. "Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions," the gaming giant said in a statement. The recent tariffs, introduced by President Donald Trump, include a blanket 10% duty on all imports and higher targeted levies on electronics from key trading partners, such as a 24% tariff on Japanese goods. Additionally, products manufactured in Vietnam, where Nintendo shifted some production to mitigate earlier tariffs on Chinese goods, now face a 46% tariff. Tokyo-listed shares of the company fell as much as 10% on Monday to their lowest level since mid-Jan and were trading 6.5% lower as of 05:17 GMT. Despite this setback, the official launch date for the Switch 2 remains set for June 5, 2025.
