Microsoft to cut about 4% of jobs amid hefty AI bets
Microsoft will lay off nearly 4% of its workforce, the company said on Wednesday, in the latest job cuts as the tech giant looks to rein in costs amid hefty investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company, which had about 228,000 employees worldwide as of June 2024, had announced layoffs in May, affecting around 6,000 workers. It was planning to cut thousands of jobs, particularly in sales, Bloomberg News reported last month. The Windows maker had pledged $80 billion in capital spending for its fiscal year 2025. However, the soaring cost of scaling its AI infrastructure has weighed on its margins, with its June quarter cloud margin expected to shrink from last year. Microsoft said on Wednesday it planned to reduce organizational layers with fewer managers and streamline its products, procedures and roles. The Seattle Times first reported on the layoffs earlier on Wednesday. Separately, Bloomberg News reported Microsoft's Barcelona-based King division, which makes the Candy Crush video game, is cutting 10% of its staff, or about 200 jobs. Big Tech peers, which are investing heavily in artificial intelligence, have also announced job cuts. Facebook parent Meta earlier this year said it would trim about 5% of its "lowest performers", while Alphabet's Google has also laid off hundreds of employees in the past year. Amazon has also cut jobs across its business segments, most recently in its books division. The company had earlier laid off employees in its devices and services unit, and communications staff.

Trade Setup July 4: A decisive breakout past 25,580 could revive upward momentum
The Nifty index continued to face stiff resistance at higher levels on the weekly expiry session, closing 48 points lower at 25,405—down 0.19%—amid selling in financial heavyweights like Kotak Mahindra Bank and Bajaj Finserv. Despite the weakness in benchmark indices, broader markets displayed resilience, with the Nifty Midcap 100 inching up 0.03% and the Smallcap 100 gaining 0.26%. Sectoral trends were mixed, with Media, Consumer Durables, and Healthcare leading the gains, while PSU Bank, Metal, and Realty indices dragged. In standout performances, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Apollo Hospitals, and Hero MotoCorp managed solid gains. On the flip side, SBI Life, Kotak Bank, and Bajaj Finserv emerged as session laggards. Vedanta fell over 2% after reports surfaced that its demerger hit a potential snag at the NCLT. HDB Financial Services, recently listed on the bourses, extended its listing gains by rising another 6%, adding to its 13.5% debut surge. Meanwhile, foreign institutional investors turned net sellers in the cash market, while domestic investors were net buyers. Market sentiment remained cautious amid global uncertainty, especially with key US economic indicators—including jobless claims, payroll data, and services PMI—slated for release later in the day. Additionally, developments on US-India trade talks are being closely monitored. Siddharth Khemka of Motilal Oswal noted that markets may stay range-bound as investors adopt a wait-and-watch strategy. Nandish Shah of HDFC Securities observed that the Nifty is in a short-term corrective phase, with support at 25,317 and 25,222, while 25,600 remains a key hurdle. According to Rupak De of LKP Securities, the formation of an inside bar on the daily chart indicates indecision among traders. He emphasized that as long as the index holds within the 25,300–25,500 zone, sideways movement is likely to continue. Om Mehra of SAMCO Securities added that a sustained close above 25,260 would keep the bullish structure intact. A decisive breakout past 25,580 could revive upward momentum, with the next resistance targets at 25,740 and 25,850. The Nifty Bank index also ended lower at 56,791.95, down 0.36%. Mehra said the support zone lies between 56,300–56,400, and that any consolidation above 56,000 may set the stage for renewed upside. A break above 57,200 could signal strength and potential for fresh highs. Investors are advised to watch key levels closely and use the ongoing consolidation phase as a strategic opportunity for re-entry.

India Will Soon Be World's Third Largest Economy: PM Modi In Ghana
Accra: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that over the past decade, India has seen a major transformation across the spectrum, and on the foundations of stable polity and good governance, the country will soon be the world's third-largest economy. During his historic Parliament address here, PM Modi said India already contributes nearly 16 per cent to global growth. "Today, India is the fastest growing emerging economy. On the foundations of stable polity and good governance, India will soon be the third largest economy," the Prime Minister told the esteemed house. PM Modi further stated that India's demography is paying its dividend. "India now has the world's third largest start-up ecosystem. India is an innovation and technology hub, where global companies want to converge," said PM Modi in his address. "We are recognised as the Pharmacy of the world. Indian women today lead in science, space, aviation and sports. India landed on the Moon. And, today an Indian is in orbit giving wings to our human space flight mission," he added. The Prime Minister further stated that people of India have resolved to make India a Developed Nation by 2047, when "we celebrate 100 years of Independence". "As Ghana continues to pursue the path of progress and prosperity, India shall walk with you, shoulder to shoulder, on this road," he commented. In 2015, New Delhi hosted the India-Africa Summit. "President John Mahama was one of our esteemed guests. In 2017, India hosted the annual meeting of the African Development Bank. We have expanded our diplomatic presence to 46 countries across Africa," said PM Modi. Over 200 projects across the continent enhance connectivity, infrastructure and industrial capacity. Every year, the India-Africa Business conclave generates new opportunities. "In Ghana, we inaugurated the Tema - Mpakadan rail line last year. It is the largest infrastructure project in this part of the African region. We welcome Ghana's own efforts to accelerate economic integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area. Ghana also holds great potential to become an IT and innovation hub in the region. Together, we will shape a future, full of promise and progress," the Prime Minister emphasised. Earlier, PM Modi was conferred The Officer of the Order of the Star of Ghana, the country's highest civilian honour, by President Mahama. PM Modi thanked Ghana's President for the honour and called it a "matter of immense pride".
