Russia & Vietnam sign roadmap for development of nuclear technologies
Rosatom State Corporation
and Vietnam have signed an interdepartmental roadmap for the period up to 2030 The document was recently signed by Alexey Likhachev, Director General of Rosatom, and Nguyen Manh Hung, Minister of Science and Technology of Vietnam.
The roadmap covers the construction of a nuclear science and technology center, the supply of fuel for the research reactor in Da Lat, the participation of the Vietnamese side in the Consortium 'International Research Center based on the MBIR reactor' and the training of personnel for the Vietnamese nuclear industry.
'For decades, research has been the flagship activity of our cooperation. In the 1980s, Soviet specialists restarted a research reactor built by the Americans, and now Vietnamese specialists have ordered us a new research reactor. We have already entered the site in the south of the country, in Dong Nai province, near Ho Chi Minh City. And that is where a powerful, modern, and, presumably, the best research reactor in Southeast Asia will appear soon," Likhachev said.

For our part, we invite our colleagues to Dimitrovgrad to conduct research on our promising multi-purpose fast reactor. In addition, this visit has marked the transition to a new stage of cooperation – the project to build a large nuclear power plant. We offer our 'bestseller' – the VVER-1200 reactor. Certainly, negotiations should take place to clarify the technical appearance and financial support. These negotiations have started today. It will certainly be a great honor and responsibility for us to build a flagship power reactor in Southeast Asia, but here we are at the very beginning of the journey,' Likhachev said.

Diamond trade feels tariff pinch: Indian exports might face 20–25% slump; margin hit may spread to miners, retailers, says Crisil analysis
AI-generated image The US market, which accounts for 35 per cent of Indian natural polished diamond exports in fiscal 2025, is expected to face additional challenges following recent US tariffs and penalties, according to Crisil Ratings. A slowdown in natural diamond demand has already been observed in the US market, officials noted. "Added to this, reduced offtake by retailers post announcement of 10 per cent tariff on Indian exports in April 2025, brought down the share of the US in polished diamond exports to 24 per cent in the first quarter of this fiscal from 37 per cent for the same period last fiscal," said Rahul Guha, Senior Director at Crisil Ratings, quoted by ANI. "In the milieu, the revenue of Indian diamond polishers can decrease a further 20-25 per cent this fiscal to USD 10-11 billion," Guha added. Meanwhile, Himank Sharma, Director, Crisil Ratings, said, "Natural diamond polishers, traditionally operating at thin margins of 4-5 per cent, will have limited ability to absorb the tariff-induced price rise. As a result, miners and retailers may need to step in to absorb some of the price shocks." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Affiliate Marketing Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo During fiscal 2025, natural diamond export volumes remained restricted due to decreased Chinese demand and US competition from LGD. Despite fourth-quarter sales efforts to avoid tariffs and limited price reductions, natural diamond export revenues declined by 17 per cent to USD 13.3 billion. As the world's leading diamond exporter and primary gold consumer, India holds significant influence in the global market. The US announcement on July 30 by Trump of a 25 per cent tariff on India, along with additional penalties for Russian oil purchases, has caused significant worry amongst Indian Gems and Jewellery sector stakeholders, who anticipate immediate market disruptions, workforce reductions and increased costs for US consumers. Nevertheless, industry leaders remain optimistic, citing India's diversified trade relationships through recent FTAs with the UK, Australia, and the UAE as protective measures, suggesting the US might experience greater long-term consequences than India.

Stock markets facing potential high-volatility week: All eyes on RBI, Q1 results, Trump tariffs — what analysts say on key drivers
AI-generated image The stock markets are set for action-packed week, with investor focus locked on the Reserve Bank of India 's (RBI) policy decision, Q1 earnings from key companies, and evolving developments around US tariffs. According to market observers, foreign investor activity and global equity trends will also steer sentiment, with added volatility from geopolitical and macroeconomic triggers. Markets were under pressure last week due to persistent foreign institutional investor (FII) selling and renewed trade tensions. The Sensex declined 863.18 points or 1.05 per cent, and the Nifty shed 271.65 points or 1.09 per cent over the week. On Friday alone, the Sensex fell 585.67 points to 80,599.91, while the Nifty dropped 203 points to 24,565.35, marking a dissapointing end to the week. 'All eyes will be on the RBI's monetary policy on August 6, particularly its commentary on inflation, liquidity, and the growth outlook,' said Ajit Mishra, SVP – Research, Religare Broking, quoted by news agency PTI. 'Additionally, earnings from marquee names like Bharti Airtel , DLF, Bajaj Auto, Hero MotoCorp, Tata Motors , SBI and LIC will shape sectoral momentum,' he further said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo Also read: India faces $9–11 billion oil bill spike- Forced pivot from Russian crude after Trump's 'penalty' could hit margins Apart from the RBI, key macro triggers this week include HSBC's services and composite PMI data, oil price fluctuations, and any fresh signals from US-India trade negotiations. 'Heightened global and domestic volatility makes the upcoming RBI policy meet a key event,' said Pravesh Gour, Senior Technical Analyst at Swastika Investmart. He added that results from several Nifty heavyweights—Adani Ports, Airtel, Bajaj Auto, Hero MotoCorp, Trent, Titan, SBI and Tata Motors- could drive stock-specific action. The abrupt announcement by US President Donald Trump of a 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, along with a separate penalty targeting India's energy and defence trade with Russia, has dented short-term sentiment. However, VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Financial Services said, 'Despite the uncertainty, the broader sentiment suggests that India and the US may reach an agreement post-negotiations," adding, 'Stable FPI flows could return once clarity emerges."

'Macro cues like RBI and Bank of England rate decisions and services PMI prints for the US and India will also be closely tracked,' he said.
