One statement by US President Trump and Elon Musk hits jackpot due to...
New York: Amid the deteriorating relationship between the most powerful man and the richest man in the world over the 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' United States President Donald Trump said that he is not going to get rid of Elon Musk's companies — Tesla and Starlink. Following this positive statement shares of the electric vehicle manufacturing company Tesla skyrocketed by 5 percent. This development led to a jump of USD 13.9 billion in the wealth of the company's CEO Elon Musk. According to Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk's net worth has now reached USD 356 billion. However, his wealth has decreased by USD 76.2 billion this year.
It is worth noting that Tesla is one of the world's leading electrical vehicle companies with a market cap of USD993.92 billion. It is ranked 11th in the list of top valuable companies in the world. Microsoft is the world's most valuable company with a value of USD3,513 trillion. It is followed by Nvidia (USD3.478 trillion), Apple (USD 3,045 trillion), Amazon (USD2.303 trillion) and Google's parent company Alphabet (USD2.114 trillion). Meta Platform, Saudi Aramco, Broadcom, TSMC and Berkshire Hathaway are included in list. Who Are In The Top 10
Recent ranking of the world's wealthiest people put Mark Zuckerberg in the second position with a net worth of USD245 billion. Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, Larry Page, Warren Buffett, Bernard Arnault, and Sergey Brin also mentioned in the top ten. Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani are ranked 17th and 20th in the richest persons list, with net worths of USD105 billion and USD84.8 billion.

India shares fall as US-China trade deal uncertainty, Middle East tensions weigh
-India's benchmark indexes edged lower on Thursday, led by losses in IT stocks, as ambiguity over the U.S.-China trade deal and rising tensions in the Middle East dampened risk appetite. The Nifty 50 was down 0.16% at 25,101.3 and the BSE Sensex fell 0.2% to 82,355.26, as of 10:13 a.m. IST. The broader small-caps and mid-caps both fell about 0.3%. Eleven of the 13 major sectors logged losses. Other Asian markets were also muted, while Wall Street equities fell overnight on fresh geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a lack of detail in a U.S.-China trade deal. [MKTS/GLOB] U.S. President Donald Trump said a framework on tariff rates had been reached to revive the fragile trade truce with China. While this lifted investor hopes, the lack of specifics kept markets on edge. "The tariff crisis is not over yet. With Trump's credibility being what it is, it would be too early to discount the development as a positive for markets," said VK Vijayakumar, chief investment strategist at Geojit Investments. Meanwhile, geopolitical concerns heightened after Iran said it will strike U.S. bases in the Middle East if nuclear talks fail and conflict arises with Washington. Escalating security risks in the Middle East is a negative for India as it could trigger a rise in Brent crude prices, said two analysts. Heavyweight IT fell 1%. Indian IT companies earn a significant share of their revenue from the United States. Among individual stocks, Paytm fell 8.4% after India's finance ministry refuted reports claiming the introduction of merchant discount rate on UPI transactions. Delay or non-introduction of MDR is sentiment negative for Paytm and could present a downside risk to the company's core profitability in fiscal 2026 and 2027, UBS said in a note.

Gold climbs on rising Middle East tensions, weaker dollar
US to pull some personnel from the Middle East US producer price index data due at 1230 GMT Trump repeats call for Fed to cut rates (Updates for Asia mid-session trading) June 12 (Reuters) - Gold prices rose on Thursday, bolstered by rising tensions in the Middle East and a weaker dollar, while softer-than-expected U.S. inflation data boosted expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts. Spot gold was up 0.7% at $3,375.06 an ounce, as of 0343 GMT. U.S. gold futures gained 1.5% to $3,395. The U.S. dollar index fell to a near two-month low, making greenback-priced bullion more attractive to overseas buyers. The weakness in the dollar index serves as a strong catalyst, said Kelvin Wong, a senior market analyst, Asia Pacific at OANDA, adding that a "bullish breakout" of the $3,346 resistance triggered technical buying. Rising geopolitical risks aided safe-haven assets, with President Donald Trump announcing on Wednesday that U.S. personnel were being moved out of the Middle East due to heightened security risks amid rising tensions with Iran. Meanwhile, U.S. consumer prices increased less than expected in May, driven by cheaper gasoline, though inflation could accelerate due to import tariffs. The data prompted renewed calls from Trump for significant rate cuts. "We could potentially see the Fed moving more quickly than anticipated, given the CPI data, which is not particularly alarming at this juncture," Wong said. Traders now expect 50 basis points of rate cut by year-end. U.S. producer price index data is due at 1230 GMT. Meanwhile, Trump said on Wednesday that Washington and Beijing had agreed on a framework to restore a fragile truce in the U.S.-China trade war, potentially avoiding higher tariffs. Trump added he could extend a July 8 deadline for trade talks with other nations before higher U.S. tariffs take effect but did not foresee such a need. Elsewhere, spot silver was up 0.4% at $36.38 per ounce, platinum rose 1.3% to $1,272.50, still hovering near a more than 4-year high, while palladium was down 1% at $1,068.92.
