Canadian Canola Producers ‘Deeply Disappointed' by China's New Tariffs, Call for Ottawa's Support
China's Ministry of Commerce announced on Aug. 12 it would impose 75.8 percent temporary tariffs on Canadian canola, starting on Aug. 14. The tariffs are part of a preliminary ruling from an anti-dumping investigation the regime launched last year, which the ministry says found 'that canola imported from Canada is being dumped,' affecting China's domestic industry. Dumping involves selling products to another country at a price below their normal value.

Analyst Expects Solid Revenue Growth Despite Profit Pressure in Q2 The analyst expects to report strong second-quarter results, driven by continued growth in its core retail segments. The firm forecasts total revenue of RMB 336 billion for 2Q25, up 15.3% year-over-year, slightly ahead of the market consensus of RMB 335.1 billion. Meanwhile, the analyst expects the company's electronics sales to grow 16.6% to RMB 169 billion and general merchandise sales to rise 15% to RMB 102.2 billion. Overall, direct sales are likely to go up by 16%, showing strong demand in JD's main markets. However, on the profitability front, Citi expects non-GAAP net profit to decline by 68% year-over-year to RMB 4.68 billion, resulting in a narrower margin of 1.39%. The analyst highlights that profit margins will likely remain under pressure due to ongoing subsidy spending and a competitive food delivery market. Also, gross margins are expected to drop slightly, reflecting these challenges. Moderate Growth Expected in Q3 For the third quarter, Citi projects revenue growth of 10.7% year-over-year to RMB 288.1 billion and non-GAAP net profit of RMB 4.58 billion. The analyst expects management to maintain a cautious tone, reflecting ongoing challenges in the market. Long-Term Outlook Remains Positive Despite short-term profit pressures, Citi remains optimistic about long-term growth potential. The company's expanding retail footprint and efforts to diversify its business, including new ventures like the hotel sector, position it well for future success. Is JD Stock a Buy or Sell? JD stock price target of $42.13 implies 35.12% upside potential. JD stock is down 2.3% year-to-date.

Cornish Metals Provides an Update on Dewatering and Shaft Refurbishment
By GlobeNewswire Published on August 13, 2025, 11:00 IST VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cornish Metals Inc.

Shaft refurbishment and mine dewatering have now reached the mid-shaft pump station located at approximately 360 metres below surface in NCK shaft. Securing the work area and stabilising of the underground chamber of the pump station, enabling the installation of new permanent pumps, has commenced. Shaft refurbishment and mine dewatering will continue in parallel with this work, down to the current level of the submersible pumps at approximately 380 metres below surface. Work on the pump station is expected to be completed during Q4 2025. The submersible pumps will then be lowered to the lower pump station level (approximately 730 metres below surface) and mine dewatering and shaft refurbishment will resume at that point. Mine dewatering and NCK shaft refurbishment to the lower pump station level are expected in mid-2026, as previously guided.
