Japan's Nikkei ends at record high as automakers rise on weaker yen
Japan's Nikkei share average extended its gains from last week to end at a record high on Monday, as a weaker yen pushed automakers' stocks higher. The Nikkei rose 0.77% to 43,714.31 and the broader Topix rose 0.43% to 3,120.96. Both closed at record levels for the second straight session. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bedridden for 2 years, please help my husband walk again! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo Japanese shares rallied this month on renewed optimism over the domestic corporate outlook and economic growth as the impact of U.S. tariffs became clearer. "Domestic equities kept the momentum from last week. There was an expectation that foreign investors would continue buying Japanese stocks," said Seiichi Suzuki, chief equity market analyst at Tokai Tokyo Intelligence Laboratory. Fast Retailing gained 1.28% to lend the biggest boost to the Nikkei. Chip-testing equipment maker Advantest reversed early losses to end 1.48% higher.

Meanwhile, Japanese shares were also underpinned by the Dow Jones hitting an intraday record high on Friday, as UnitedHealth's shares jumped after Berkshire Hathaway raised its stake. Back in Tokyo, banks fell, sending the banking index 1.93% lower and making it the biggest loser among the Tokyo Stock Exchange 's (TSE) industry sub-indexes. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group lost 2.55% and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group shed 2.3%.

GST reforms: Congress says it is vindicated
The Congress on Monday said it stands vindicated on its criticism of the "flawed" Goods and Services Tax after Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised a simplified GST structure. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency Congress general secretary, communications, Jairam Ramesh claimed the economy has never recovered from the twin "Modi-inflicted shocks" of GST 1.0 and demonetisation . "It was the Vijay Kelkar Committee report of 2004 that led to the first announcement of GST in Mr. P. Chidambaram's Budget Speech of Feb 28, 2006. Here, Dr. Kelkar and his colleagues offer their suggestions for a transformed GST 2.0 ," Ramesh said in a post on X. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo "The Indian National Congress stands vindicated on its criticism of the flawed GST 1.0 that was pushed through on July 1, 2017, giving the economy its second serious shock after the notebandi of Nov 8, 2016. The economy has never recovered from these twin Modi-inflicted shocks," the Congress leader said in his post. The Congress has been alleging that the GST 1.0 is flawed and there has to be one single tax, with Rahul Gamdhi dubbing it as "Gabbar Singh Tax". Live Events Prime Minister Modi on Sunday said the Centre has circulated the draft of the next-generation GST reforms among states and sought their cooperation to implement the proposal before Diwali. He said the reform in GST would benefit poor and middle-class people, as well as small and big businesses. Modi had announced the proposal to reform the GST law in his Independence Day speech on August 15 from the ramparts of the Red Fort. The present GST tax rates of nil/zero on essential food items, 5 per cent on daily use products, 12 per cent on standard goods, 18 per cent on electronics and services and 28 per cent on luxury and sin goods will be replaced by two tax slabs of 5 per cent and 18 per cent plus a special 40 per cent top bracket for 5-7 demerit goods. The proposed two-slab regime, if approved by the GST Council , will replace the current four slabs in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, doing away with the 12 per cent and 28 per cent slabs. The changes that have come about after nearly six months of deliberations and dozens of meetings have been conceived in a way to ensure that demand for tax tweaks does not arise, and also that input tax credit (ITC) does not get accumulated in the system.

‘Another war may happen': Khamenei's aide warns US, Israel; calls for strengthening missile, drone strategy
A senior military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has warned that another war involving the United States or Israel could erupt at any time, in comments likely to heighten fears of further escalation in the region. 'We are not in a ceasefire, we are in a stage of war. No protocol, regulation or agreement has been written between us and the US or Israel,' Yahya Rahim Safavi, a top aide to Khamenei and former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), told Iranian media, as quoted by Times of Israel 'I think another war may happen, and after that, there may be no more wars,' he said, according to a translation by Iran International. Safavi argued that Iran needed to strengthen its position across multiple fronts. 'The Americans and the Zionists say they create peace through power; therefore, Iran must also become strong, because in the system of nature, the weak are trampled.' He added that Tehran's approach should be both defensive and offensive, stating: 'We must strengthen our diplomatic, media, missile, drone and cyber offensive strategy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo We, the military, do scenario-planning, we see the worst case, and we prepare a plan for it.' The comments come amid rising tensions following Israeli and US strikes on Iran earlier this summer. In June, Israeli fighter jets targeted command centres and IRGC assets in Tehran, including the Basij headquarters and the Alborz Corps, which are central to the regime's internal security and enforcement structures. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the strikes had 'significant military effect' and disrupted the regime's ability to maintain control. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the operations had caused 'very serious damage' to Iran's missile programme and nuclear sites, including Fordow. 'I have no doubt that this is a regime that wants to wipe us out, and that's why we embarked on this operation to eliminate the two concrete threats to our existence: the nuclear threat and the ballistic missile threat,' Netanyahu said, adding that Israel was 'very close' to achieving its goals. The Pentagon also confirmed that US forces launched 'Operation Midnight Hammer' in June, striking three major nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
