Mango prices plunge! 'King of fruits' now available at just Rs 40-45 per kg; rates unlikely to go up soon
The decline in mango prices can be attributed to increased production and early harvesting. (AI image) Mango prices in Uttar Pradesh, India's largest producer of the fruit, have decreased by approximately one-third compared to last year due to increased availability, according to growers and traders. The well-known Dasehri variety now sells for Rs 40-45 per kg, down from Rs 60 per kg in the previous year. The decline in prices can be attributed to increased production and early harvesting by farmers who sought to protect their crop from anticipated early monsoon rains. This decision was influenced by the Indian Meteorological Department's forecast of above-normal rainfall during the June-September period. "This year the mango production in Uttar Pradesh is estimated to be around 35 lakh metric tonnes, as compared to 25 lakh metric tonnes last year. There was 100% flowering of the mango trees, which indicates that the production will be good," said S Insram Ali, president of the Mango Growers Association of India, according to an ET report. "It is unlikely that prices will go up in the coming weeks," Ali said. Global mango production reached 25 million metric tonnes (MT) in 2024, with India contributing approximately half of the worldwide output. China and Indonesia followed with 3.8 million MT and 3.6 million MT respectively. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Classic Solitaire , Built for Desktop Play Solitaire Download Undo UP contributes roughly 20% to India's total mango production.

US rejects 15 mango shipments from India, exporters estimate losses of $500,000 In Andhra Pradesh's Tirupati and Chittoor regions, Totapuri mango prices have plummeted as pulp manufacturers have halted purchases from local farmers. The situation worsened when farmers harvested their crop earlier than usual, anticipating the arrival of monsoon rains. The current season has brought significant losses to Totapuri mango cultivators due to reduced market rates and pulp factories' delayed buying in the primary growing areas of Chittoor and Tirupati. According to Sudhir Reddy, a Tirupati-based mango trader, industry officials attribute this to unsold pulp stocks from the previous year. The mango market in West Bengal, a major producer state, has also experienced a sharp decline in prices, with premium quality mangoes now selling at Rs 45-50 per kg, down from Rs 80 per kg. "Production is good this year. Early plucking by the farmers has also resulted in prices falling," said Prasanta Pal, a mango trader from Kolkata.

BSE shares crack 4% after being placed under ASM framework
Shares of bourse BSE Ltd fell as much as 4% on Wednesday to Rs 2,885.20 on the NSE after the stock was placed under the Additional Surveillance Measure (ASM) framework by the exchange, triggering investor caution. The ASM framework is a regulatory tool used by stock exchanges to monitor and control excessive volatility or abnormal price movements. Stocks added to the ASM list are subjected to enhanced scrutiny and trading restrictions, such as higher margin requirements and limits on intraday trading, to safeguard investors and maintain market integrity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bank Owned Properties For Sale In Bahir Dar (Prices May Surprise You) Foreclosed Homes | Search ads Search Now Undo The move comes amid a recent surge in both price and trading volumes of BSE shares . Exchanges typically place stocks under the ASM framework when there is a sharp price movement not supported by fundamentals or a significant spike in trading activity.

The stock has rallied 116.6% in the last three months and a staggering 225.6% over the past year. In the past month alone, BSE has gained nearly 32%, and is up 58.5% over the past six months. The sharp run-up in the counter likely triggered regulatory scrutiny, as exchanges typically place stocks under ASM to curb excessive volatility and speculative activity. Technical Indicators Signal Overbought Conditions From a technical perspective, BSE shares are trading above seven of their eight key simple moving averages (SMAs), including the 10-day, 20-day, 30-day, 50-day, 100-day, 150-day, and 200-day SMAs. However, the stock has slipped below the 5-day SMA, reflecting short-term weakness. Live Events The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently stands at 80.9, well above the overbought threshold of 70, suggesting the stock may be due for a pullback. However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains firmly positive at 208.2, staying above both its center and signal lines—indicating that bullish momentum remains intact despite Wednesday's decline. Strong Earnings Underpin Recent Rally BSE's sharp gains in recent months were backed by robust fourth-quarter earnings. India's oldest stock exchange reported a 362% year-on-year (YoY) jump in net profit to Rs 494 crore for the January–March 2025 period. Revenue from operations rose 75% YoY to Rs 847 crore. Operating EBITDA, including contributions from the core Settlement Guarantee Fund (SGF), more than tripled to Rs 594 crore, up from Rs 95.7 crore a year earlier. EBITDA margins expanded significantly to 70%. Transaction charges, a key revenue driver linked to trading activity, soared 112% YoY to Rs 612 crore, up from Rs 288 crore in the same period last year. Investment income also rose to Rs 70 crore, from Rs 55.2 crore in Q3 FY25. However, treasury income declined to Rs 44.3 crore, compared to Rs 58 crore a year ago. BSE's board also declared a total dividend of Rs 23 per share, including Rs 5 as a special dividend to mark the exchange's 150th year and Rs 18 as a regular dividend. In its earnings commentary, the company said it aims to grow market share across segments by capitalising on the rapid rise in investor participation and overall market turnover in India.

Trump's AI czar downplays risk AI chip exports could be smuggled
Trump rescinded Biden's executive order aimed at promoting competition, protecting consumers and ensuring AI was not used for misinformation. He also rescinded Biden's so-called AI diffusion rule, which capped the amount of American AI computing capacity that some countries were allowed to obtain via US AI chip imports. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads White House AI czar David Sacks on Tuesday downplayed the risk that coveted American AI chips could be smuggled to bad actors, and expressed concern that regulating U.S. AI too tightly could stifle growth and cede the critical market to China."We talk about these chips like they could be smuggled in the back of a briefcase. That's not what they look like. These are server racks that are eight feet tall and weigh two tons," Sacks said at the AWS summit in Washington."They don't walk out doors. It's very easy to basically verify that they're where they're supposed to be," he comments indicated President Donald Trump 's approach to AI could be centered on expanding markets abroad for U.S. AI chips and models. Former President Joe Biden had emphasized policies that countered risks the chips could be diverted to China and used to bolster Beijing's military."I do worry we're on a trajectory where fear could overtake opportunity and we end up sort of crippling this wonderful progress that we're seeing," Sacks said, citing a raft of bills in state legislatures seeking to regulate AI, as well as permitting challenges facing companies seeking to build the data centers that power rescinded Biden's executive order aimed at promoting competition, protecting consumers and ensuring AI was not used for misinformation. He also rescinded Biden's so-called AI diffusion rule, which capped the amount of American AI computing capacity that some countries were allowed to obtain via US AI chip imports."We rescinded that Biden diffusion rule, diffusion a bad word. Diffusion of our technology should be a good word," Sacks Trump administration and the United Arab Emirates also announced a plan last month for the Gulf country to build the largest artificial intelligence campus outside the U.S. after Biden in 2023 put in place rules that curbed most AI chip shipments to the aim at that regulation, Sacks said, "What play are we giving them? We're basically going to push them into the arms of China."He added that if, in five years, AI chips made by sanctioned Chinese telecoms equipment giant Huawei were everywhere, "that means we can't let that happen."The need to remove hurdles to U.S. AI innovation is urgent as China has made important advances in its AI models, Sacks said. This year, the Chinese AI app DeepSeek shocked the world with its sophisticated, affordably trained model."China is not years and years behind us in AI. Maybe they're three to six months," said Sacks. "It's a very close race." The White House later said he was referring to China's AI models, adding that Chinese AI chips are one to two years behind their U.S. counterparts.
