China Urged by Think Tanks to Strengthen Yuan Amid Trade Tension
A growing chorus of economists and former officials in the US and Europe is urging Beijing to strengthen the yuan, warning that prolonged undervaluation may escalate trade tensions and distort China's growth model. At least three researchers have issued studies or commentaries at think tanks in the past month, including the US-based Council on Foreign Relations, spotlighting the yuan's suppressed real value and its role in supporting China's export competitiveness.

COHR Earnings: Coherent Stock Crashes 16% on Disappointing Guidance
The stock of Coherent (COHR) is down 16% after the semiconductor company reported revenue guidance that disappointed Wall Street. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The Pennsylvania-based company announced earnings per share (EPS) of $1, which topped the $0.92 expected among analysts. Revenue for the year's second quarter totaled $1.53 billion, which was ahead of the $1.51 billion forecast on Wall Street. Sales were up 16% from a year earlier. Unfortunately, Coherent's revenue guidance overshadowed what was otherwise a strong print from the optical materials and semiconductor concern. For the current quarter, Coherent said that it expects revenue of $1.53 billion, which is basically the same as sales generated in Q2 of this year and is 0.6% below analysts' consensus estimate. Laser Business Sale Coherent's networking business unit saw its revenue rise 39% year-over-year in calendar Q2 to $945 million, above expectations for $940 million in sales. That strong showing was partially offset by the company's other two business lines, materials and lasers, which were down a combined 8% in the quarter. Just before Coherent's latest earnings were released after markets closed, the company announced the sale of its laser business for defense markets at a price of $400 million. Money generated from the sale will be used to pay down the company's $3.7 billion in debt. Is COHR Stock a Buy? The stock of Coherent has a consensus Strong Buy rating among 15 Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on 14 Buy and one Hold recommendations issued in the last three months. The average COHR price target of $105.31 implies about 8% downside risk from current levels. These ratings are likely to change after the company's financial results.

US to explore cooperation with Pakistan on critical minerals, hydrocarbons
By Kanishka Singh WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington looked forward to exploring cooperation with Pakistan on critical minerals and hydrocarbons, with his comments coming in a statement issued by the State Department on Pakistan's Independence Day. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Washington and Islamabad hailed a trade deal last month, which Pakistan said would result in lower tariffs and increased investment. Pakistan's Commerce Minister Jam Kamal has said Islamabad will offer U.S. businesses opportunities to invest in mining projects primarily in the southwestern Balochistan province through joint ventures with local companies, providing concessions such as lease grants. The province is home to key mining projects, including Reko Diq, run by mining firm Barrick Gold and believed to be one of the world's largest gold and copper mines. KEY QUOTES "We look forward to exploring new areas of economic cooperation, including critical minerals and hydrocarbons, and fostering dynamic business partnerships," Rubio said late on Wednesday. "The United States deeply appreciates Pakistan's engagement on counterterrorism and trade." CONTEXT Before President Donald Trump's administration, Islamabad's relationship with Washington had cooled in recent years, as the U.S. drew closer to Pakistan's traditional adversary India to counter China's rise, among other factors. Washington also resented Islamabad over Afghanistan, especially under former President Joe Biden's administration, which oversaw a chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and the takeover of the country by the Taliban insurgency that Washington accused Islamabad of backing. Pakistan denied the charge. In recent months, Washington's ties with Islamabad have improved. Trump took credit for a ceasefire between India and Pakistan after the Asian neighbors engaged in hostilities in May following an April attack in India-administered Kashmir. Pakistan praised Trump while India maintained that New Delhi and Islamabad should resolve their issues directly without outside involvement. COUNTERTERRORISM TALKS The U.S. and Pakistan held the latest round of counterterrorism talks in Islamabad on Tuesday. Washington has designated separatist militant group Balochistan Liberation Army as a "foreign terrorist organization." "The US-Pakistan counterterrorism dialogue joint statement is one of the most positive and effusive I've seen from these two countries on CT for quite a few years," Michael Kugelman, a Washington-based South Asia analyst and writer for Foreign Policy magazine, said.
