A significant number of bank branches, including 254 from Lloyds, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland, are set to close in 2025 and 2026, prompting concerns over access to banking services. To mitigate this, alternatives such as Post Office branches, mobile banking services, and new super ATMs are being introduced, alongside the establishment of banking hubs that offer routine transactions and consultations with bank staff.
UBS is reportedly linked to Chinese military companies under U.S. sanctions, investing around $1 billion in fighter jet manufacturer Avic Xi"an and surveillance supplier Hikvision through joint ventures. Despite selling shares after the sanctions were imposed, UBS"s joint ventures have made significant purchases, raising concerns about potential U.S. retaliation. The bank maintains that its investments comply with U.S. laws, asserting that trading of these securities is permissible outside the U.S. as long as U.S. persons are not involved.
Walmart"s CFO, John David Rainey, indicated that the retailer may need to raise prices on some items if proposed tariffs by President-elect Trump are implemented, despite the company"s commitment to everyday low prices. While two-thirds of Walmart"s products are domestically sourced, the potential tariffs could still lead to inflationary pressures on consumers. Other retailers, like Lowe"s, are also preparing for increased costs due to these tariffs, which could impact their supply chains significantly.
Lowe"s reported better-than-expected fiscal second-quarter earnings, driven by outdoor DIY projects and online sales, but still anticipates a year-over-year sales decline. The company raised its full-year sales guidance to between $83 billion and $83.5 billion, while projecting comparable sales to drop 3% to 3.5%. Despite these results, Lowe"s faces challenges from high interest rates affecting home improvement demand.
Benchmark indices Nifty and Sensex experienced their largest surge in two months on November 19, with the Sensex rising by 833.06 points to reach 78,172.07 and the Nifty climbing 240.70 points to 23,694.50. This broad-based buying, particularly in auto and realty stocks, added Rs 5 lakh crore to investor wealth, following a seven-session decline. However, experts caution that this rebound may not indicate a full recovery, advising investors to wait for clearer market signals before making moves.
Blue Tokai, an Indian coffee chain, aims to triple its annual revenue to 10 billion rupees ($118.5 million) by 2027 before considering an IPO. The company plans to expand its presence to about 350 cafes in major cities like Hyderabad and Chennai, capitalizing on the growing coffee culture in India. Currently, Blue Tokai operates over 130 cafes and has a revenue run rate of 3.7 billion rupees this year.
India"s pharmaceutical market reached a significant milestone, with domestic sales hitting Rs 2.25 lakh crore in the year ending September 2024. Despite a moderation in growth rates, the market expanded by 8% in the September 2024 quarter, totaling Rs 60,000 crore, compared to Rs 38,200 crore in the pre-pandemic December 2019 quarter.
Global markets are shifting as CLSA adopts an overweight stance on Indian equities, with Moody's projecting India's growth at 7.2% for 2024 amidst global economic challenges. While India's strong domestic demand contrasts with China's economic struggles, recent declines in the Sensex and Nifty raise concerns over consumption and foreign outflows.
Black Friday shopping is expected to be busier than ever, but many deals may not offer significant savings, with 35% of items at major retailers priced the same as before. Retailers are incentivizing early shopping due to potential shipping delays and a shorter holiday season. While fall clothing and electronics typically see steep discounts, beauty and footwear are better bought on Cyber Monday, and toys may be cheaper closer to Christmas.
Home Depot's $18.25 billion acquisition of SRS Distribution aims to enhance its pro business, which now accounts for a significant portion of its sales. The deal is expected to boost growth amid a challenging market, as Home Depot seeks to leverage SRS's specialized offerings and logistics network to cater to professional contractors. Despite current economic pressures, the acquisition is seen as a strategic move to expand into a $1 trillion market.
