You May Want to Stock Up on This Common Ingredient Before Prices Increase

There may be a global shortage of black pepper on the horizon, causing prices to increase Inventory and production levels of black peppercorn — the seed from which black pepper is derived — are down due to a variety of factors Only four countries generate about 80% of the world's black peppercorn supply, meaning changes in production have far-reaching impactsOne of the world's most common kitchen ingredients might become scarce soon: black pepper. According to the U.S.-based spice importer Majestic Spice, global inventory levels of black peppercorn — the seed from which black pepper is derived — are down, despite the fact that demand levels have not changed. This scarcity is expected to drive the price higher. Additionally, unpredictable rain and drought cycles in places where peppercorn is harvested, like India, Vietnam and Sri Lanka, have delayed harvest schedules, putting increased strain on the supply chain, per the outlet. Studies also show that unpredictable changes in climate — likely due to climate change — can affect how the peppercorn tastes, rendering some of the harvest unusable.

Additionally, according to a recent article in The India Tribune, trade issues have disincentivized pepper farmers and traders from investing in black pepper production, and they are instead often redirecting their focus to more stable crops. This, combined with the fact that only four countries generate 80% of the world's pepper supply, means this volatility has far-reaching impacts for consumers. notes that Americans will likely first notice the effects of the shortage in stores that sell generic spices, like Trader Joe's or Aldi. They also state that the price of peppercorn is likely to increase in all stores, regardless of where you shop. Allrecipes notes that, unfortunately, there is no great substitute for fresh pepper ground from whole peppercorns. While white pepper offers too mild a flavor for most, pepper blends like rainbow peppercorn will likely overwhelm the average dish. Instead, Allrecipes food writer Hannah Klinger suggests utilizing other spices, such as smoked paprika, coriander and cumin, or dried herb blends to brighten your dishes. She also recommends investing in a refillable pepper grinder and stocking up on whole peppercorns while they are available, as this is usually a more affordable option than purchasing pre-filled grinders. StillTasty, a food shelf life guide site, says that whole black peppercorns stay fresh for three to four years, meaning that any peppercorns you buy now should be usable for quite some time.

Exclusive-Air India in talks for major new narrow-body jet order, sources say

By Tim Hepher, Aditi Shah and Rajesh Kumar Singh NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Tata Group's Air India is in talks with Airbus and Boeing for a major new aircraft order including some 200 extra single-aisle planes, topping up a mammoth deal in 2023 as the former state carrier pursues a multi-billion-dollar revamp, industry sources said. The order discussions, which two of the sources said could involve hundreds of airplanes in total spread across various sizes, expand on previously reported discussions for a further batch of large wide-body aircraft, they told Reuters. In those talks, Boeing is edging forward as the front-runner to sell more of its 777X jets, two of the sources said. Air India, Boeing and Airbus all declined to comment. Word of a potential new blockbuster order from India's flag carrier emerged as global airline bosses gathered in the world's fastest-growing aviation market for a Delhi industry summit to be addressed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday. Air India placed a then-record order for 470 planes from both suppliers in 2023 and another 100 Airbus jets last year. The back-to-back plane orders come at a time when aircraft manufacturers are scrambling with supply chain issues leading to severe delays in aircraft delivery and a looming jet shortage. Getting new planes is crucial for Air India, which has suffered from years of under-investment under government ownership and is now undertaking an ambitious modernisation plan to recapture market share lost to global rivals. One of the sources said the potential new narrow-body jet order provisionally involved 200 aircraft, while two others estimated the volume in the hundreds. The timing of any deal was not immediately clear and one source said pricing could be a stumbling block as Air India seeks to emulate deals by India's largest carrier IndiGo, which announced new partnerships and a top-up Airbus order on Sunday. Multi-billion-dollar aircraft orders typically take months of closely held talks to negotiate, with any Boeing and Airbus components usually being announced separately. India's aviation market is expanding at some 7% a year, according to Airbus forecasts. But analysts say its growth remains hampered by weak infrastructure, especially as it looks to connect hinterlands to bigger cities. On the eve of the airline meeting in the Indian capital, the International Air Transport Association of 300 global carriers said the country's airlines were poised to demonstrate continued rapid growth, clouded by expensive fuel costs and high taxes.

Apple Stock: Did President Trump Just Give Investors a Reason to Sell?

President Trump wants iPhones assembled in the United States, which would be expensive for Apple. The company is grappling with potentially rising costs and lawsuits coming for its cash cows. Shares of Apple look expensive today when considering all these long-term risks. 10 stocks we like better than Apple › Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has optimized its costs through a global manufacturing footprint. This relationship -- specifically with China -- may be coming to an end if President Donald Trump gets his way. The maker of the iPhone used the large and cheap labor market of China and other Asian nations to cheaply build and assemble its hardware before selling to consumers around the world, making a tidy profit in the process. Now, with large tariffs implemented on imports from China, Apple has begun to move some of its manufacturing to India in order to hedge its bets. However, this caught the ire of Trump, who said that Apple will face a 25% tariff on iPhone imports and that the products should be made in the United States in order to reshore manufacturing. According to analysts, building iPhones in the United States will greatly raise Apple's operating costs. Does that give investors a reason to sell the stock? Due to higher labor costs, assembling iPhones in the United States would increase Apple's variable costs for its hardware products. Analysts estimate it would cost Apple tens of billions of dollars to switch manufacturing to the United States while raising the per-unit price from $40 to $200 or higher. It is possible that Apple could make up these costs by raising the retail price on iPhones, but that is asking a lot from consumers when flagship devices already cost around $1,000. Last quarter, Apple's product division generated just under $25 billion in gross profit, which is revenue minus manufacturing/assembly costs. If Apple is forced to pay high tariffs or manufacture its phones in the United States, these large gross profits may disappear, leading to less bottom-line income and free cash flow. On top of the higher costs in the United States, Apple's supply chain wouldn't be immune from tariffs, with parts of the iPhone imported from Asia and still subjected to high tariffs as of this writing. In actuality, around half of Apple's gross profit comes from its high-margin services segment, which will not be directly impacted by tariffs. This includes revenue from the App Store and distribution agreements from Google to be the default search engine on the Safari web browser. In fiscal year 2024, $71 billion of Apple's total gross profit of $181 billion came from services. These high-margin revenue streams are under attack from antitrust lawsuits. Apple is now forced to allow mobile applications to use alternative payment methods to sidestep its 30% fee on payment processing, which could lead some profits to disappear. Current lawsuits may bar Apple from accepting a huge $20 billion (or more) annual payment from Google for default search engine status, another potential profit hit coming down the line. Even before these threats from tariffs and antitrust lawsuits, Apple was not firing on all cylinders compared to the other "Magnificent Seven" stocks. Over the last three years, Apple has only grown its revenue by a cumulative 3%. Alphabet's is up 29%, Microsoft's is up 36%, and Nvidia's is up a staggering 339% over that same time frame. The company is simply not growing much anymore as it fails to deliver any new hardware device that comes close to the popularity of the iPhone. In artificial intelligence (AI), Apple may be falling well behind the competition. It has failed to release updated services for Siri while letting competitors like Alphabet post cutting-edge breakthroughs in text, video, and image generation for consumers. This is not showing up in the numbers today, but Apple is at major risk of failing to win in the next great technology paradigm, which will impact its bottom line eventually despite its wide brand moat today. Apple stock is down 17.8% this year. I believe the stock still looks overvalued for investors today. It trades at a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 31, which is higher than the S&P 500 average and higher than Alphabet even though Alphabet is growing much faster. Low-growth stocks trading at a premium earnings multiple are dangerous to own, even if they have been strong performers in the past. Apple may see its earnings finally move in the wrong direction if tariffs, lawsuits, and failures to win in AI lead to deteriorating power in the global technology landscape. It wouldn't shock me if Apple's profits were lower in five years compared to today. For these reasons, Apple stock is an easy sell from your portfolio right now.
