[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The IAG (LSE:IAG) share price is down 35% from its highs. It’s a phenomenal drop from one of the best rated stocks on the FTSE 100. So, what’s behind the sell-off? Well, perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s got a lot to do with tariffs. Trump compounds Heathrow challenges IAG was heavily impacted by the closure of Heathrow Airport for a full day after a fire broke out at an electrical substation. The fire, which disrupted over 1,300 flights, also caused severe scheduling challenges in the following days. British Airways, owned by IAG, was worst hit, with nearly…
[ad_1] On April 10, the Department of Climate Change under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MoAE), in collaboration with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), co-hosted the 2025 Vietnam Carbon Market Forum. Dr. Tang The Cuong, director general of the Department of Climate Change at MoAE, emphasised that Vietnam’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 is an ambitious yet attainable goal. However, he stressed that this will require a much more robust energy transition, the development of low-emission technologies, and a comprehensive suite of other actions. Dr. Tang The Cuong, director…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Tesco (LSE:TSCO) shares failed to join the broader market rally on Thursday (10 April), with the FTSE 100 retailer warning of a likely profits drop this year. Last at 314.1p per share, Tesco’s share price was 6.3% lower on the day. It had sunk to nine-month lows of 310.4p earlier in the session. Britain’s biggest retailer said intensifying price wars would drive its bottom line lower in the near term. But could Tesco shares now be cheap enough to consider buying? Profits rise… The supermarket industry’s notoriously competitive, and retailers have to perform a delicate…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images My Stocks and Shares ISA became a sea of red at the beginning of this crazy April. However, history teaches us that sudden market downturns often present great buying opportunities for long-term investors. Right now, I think a few stocks look attractive at current prices, even after the massive US market rally yesterday (9 April). Here’s one that’s worth considering, in my opinion. Fintech disruptor The stock in question is Nu Holdings (NYSE: NU), which is the parent company of digital bank Nubank. This name isn’t widely known outside of Latin America, yet within the…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images AstraZeneca’s (LSE: AZN) share price is down 28% from its 3 September 12-month traded high of £133.38. At that point, this made the firm the first in the UK with a market capitalisation of £200bn+. However, this slide looks to be mainly US tariffs-related rather than a signal of anything untoward at the firm itself. Over the long term, I believe the markets will rebound from the current shock, as they have from all others in the past. As such, the present market bearishness may be a golden opportunity for me to pick up a…
[ad_1] Image source: Rolls-Royce plc In the first week of the month (April 2025), the Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR.) share price suffered its largest single-week drop in over five years. Back in mid-March of 2020, after the Covid pandemic hit, the stock fell 25% in one week. Since then, it’s made a spectacular recovery, climbing 452% over the past five years. But here we are again, only this time it’s US trade policy that’s wiped 15% off the company’s share price. So is that the end of Rolls’ spectacular five-year rally? I wouldn’t panic just yet — the stock may be…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images A friend of a friend asked me a few weeks ago whether it was a good time to start investing. While my answer is generally yes — getting the ball rolling is certainly a smart move — I was hesitant because markets were riding high. Indeed, both the FTSE 100 and S&P 500 indexes were at record levels. Some well-known tech stocks, including Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Palantir, looked grossly overvalued to me. Like an overly frothy latte, a bit probably needed skimming off the top. But I wasn’t expecting the earthquake unleashed by President Trump’s…
[ad_1] Indian Firms’ Exposure to US TariffsIndia exports 47% of its aluminium production, but only 6% of that goes to the US, according to a report by ratings agency CRISIL. For the US, Indian aluminium imports account for just 3% of total aluminium imports. The US sources most of its aluminium from Canada (41%), followed by the UAE (6%) and China (11%).

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Passive income investors tend to like the stability and predictability of a steady income stream from their investments. This past week or so has been anything but stable, with the Trump administration’s recent ‘Liberation Day’ tariff announcement, then its reversal, wreaking havoc on the global stock market. The FTSE 100 Index fell 10.8% in five days to 7,679 points to 9 April before despite a strong rebound on Tuesday (8 April). However, the longer-term picture isn’t as bleak with the UK large-cap index is still up 34% in the last five years. I think there…
