Jaguar Land Rover to cut hundreds of UK jobs
The UK-based firm said the reduction in management roles, which amounted to 1.5% of its workforce, would be completed through a voluntary redundancy programme.
JLR has been struggling recently on the back of the US trade war.
Money latest:
It temporarily paused exports to the US, its biggest single foreign market, in April after Donald Trump's hike to duties covering cars to 25%.
It was later trimmed to 10% under the US-UK trade truce agreement, but that rate only covers the cars it makes in the UK.
The terms of the deal also cap total annual car exports to the US at 100,000 models, so the higher rate will apply to those vehicles exceeding the threshold.
The tariff uncertainty, coupled with a planned wind-down of older Jaguar models, meant sales were 15% down over the three months to June to just over 94,000.
JLR confirmed its job cut plans on the day the UK's jobless rate hit a four-year high.
It also follows on the back of a Kier Starmer speech to staff, promising to protect their jobs, back in April.
The company had said, after the US-UK truce in May, that the deal would do just that.
A spokesperson said: "As part of normal business practice, we regularly offer eligible employees the opportunity to leave JLR through limited voluntary redundancy programmes."

Why Allegion Stock Soared on Thursday
Key Points Allegion beat on both the top and bottom lines for the period. Its also raised its full-year guidance for 2025. 10 stocks we like better than Allegion › Security products specialist Allegion (NYSE: ALLE) was popular with investors on Thursday, following its release of an encouraging quarterly earnings report. The document pleased investors, as they bid the company's stock up by more than 6% on the day. This compared rather favorably to the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), which essentially flatlined across the trading session. Encouraging growth in key fundamentals Well before Thursday's market open, Ireland-based Allegion unveiled its second-quarter results. These showed that the company managed to boost revenue by nearly 6% year over year to slightly over $1.02 billion. On an organic basis -- i.e., excluding the impact of divestitures and acquisitions, plus foreign currency movements -- the top line also increased, by a little over 3%. Meanwhile, non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) adjusted net income also saw improvement, rising by 4% to nearly $177 million, or $2.04 per share. That meant a double beat for Allegion, as analysts tracking the company were collectively estimating it would post $1 billion in revenue, and a per-share adjusted net earnings figure of $1.99. In its earnings release, Allegion flagged the North American nonresidential market as a particular growth driver. It said this business rose at a high-single-digit percentage rate, while price adjustments were a crucial factor in a 50-basis-point improvement in adjusted operating margin (to a shade under 30%). Guidance gets a boost Compounding the good news about the rising fundamentals, Allegion raised its guidance for both revenue and profitability for full-year 2025. It now believes its top line will increase by 6.5% to 7.5% compared to 2024, while adjusted earnings per share should land at $8.00 to $8.15. The average analyst projection for the latter number is only $7.85. Should you buy stock in Allegion right now?

Trump rips Powell again: 'Too late.. is my worst appointments'
Trump rips Powell again: 'Too late.. is my worst appointments' originally appeared on TheStreet. Donald Trump is once again turning up the heat on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, this time calling him 'truly one of my worst appointments' and blaming him directly for freezing out young homebuyers with high interest rates. 'Too Late,' and the Fed, are choking out the housing market with their high rate, making it difficult for people, especially the young, to buy a house,' Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday. 'He is truly one of my worst appointments. Sleepy Joe saw how bad he was and reappointed him anyway.' Trump didn't stop there, taking aim at the entire Fed Board: 'And the Fed Board has done nothing to stop this 'numbskull' from hurting so many people. In many ways the Board is equally to blame!'Trump has been vocal for months about his belief that interest rates should already be slashed. He doubled down on that view: 'The USA is Rockin', there is VERY LOW INFLATION, and we deserve to be at 1%, saving One Trillion Dollars a year on Interest Costs. I can't tell you how dumb Too Late is - So bad for our Country!' Why it matters for crypto Trump's renewed attacks on the Fed come just as Bitcoin trades near $119,000 and Ethereum crosses $3,600, according to Kraken. With altcoins like DOGE and ADA surging 11% and 6% respectively, traders are increasingly viewing political volatility as fuel for crypto's comeback — especially if it results in lower interest rates. Trump has been openly questioning whether Powell should remain in his role. Just last month, he reportedly asked GOP lawmakers in the Oval Office if he should fire the Fed Chair. And while he later told reporters it's 'highly unlikely' he'll do so, he admitted, 'Almost all of them said I should.'The Fed, under Powell, has held rates steady throughout 2025 despite inflation cooling below 3%, arguing that premature cuts could reignite price pressures. Powell has also flagged concerns about Trump's planned tariffs potentially pushing inflation back up. High interest rates reduce investor appetite for risk. When rates are high, investors prefer safer assets like Treasuries — not volatile ones like Bitcoin or altcoins. That's why crypto prices soared during the 2020–2021 low-rate era, and struggled once the Fed began hiking. If the inflation slash rates to 1%, it could revive the easy-money conditions that previously supercharged the crypto bull market.
