US stocks tread water after rally

by
US stocks
  • The Dow Jones is down 0.3 percent at 31,747.55.
  • The S&P 500 slips less than 0.1 percent to 3,935.22.
  • The tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index gains 0.5 percent to 11,766.79.

Wall Street stocks were mixed early Wednesday, moving sideways after the prior day’s bounce that was partly a response to the market’s losses so far in 2022.

Major indices had piled on more than two percent Tuesday in what Briefing.com analyst Patrick O’Hare called a “technical” rally after a survey of investors suggested stocks had been oversold and were due for a turnaround.

Analysts also cited the better-than-expected tone from executives at large banks and other companies that reported results that eased worries about second-quarter earnings season.

Tuesday’s trading was “predominantly a technical rally,” O’Hare said. “The limiting factor is that the fundamental show isn’t that appealing, which is perhaps why the futures market this morning isn’t teasing an encore performance.”

About 15 minutes into trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.3 percent at 31,747.55.

The broad-based S&P 500 slipped less than 0.1 percent to 3,935.22, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index gained 0.5 percent to 11,766.79.

Among individual companies, Netflix slipped 0.7 percent after it reported the loss of 970,000 subscribers, its second quarter in a row with a decline.

Shares had risen immediately after the report as the streaming company predicted it would gain subscribers in the current period.

Xiaomi S10T robot vacuum cleaner
  • Xiaomi’s S10T robot vacuum cleaner has an 8kPa suction and multiple cleaning modes.
  • It also has anti-tangle technology built in, which keeps debris from obstructing it.
  • There are no specifics yet regarding the product’s price or release date.

The S10T robot vacuum cleaner, which has an 8kPa suction, has been unveiled by tech giant Xiaomi.

There are no specifics yet regarding the product’s price or exact release date, and the announcement was made in China.

Multiple cleaning modes, strong suction, and mopping capabilities are all features of the new Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner.

The gadget also has Xiaomi’s anti-tangle technology built in, which keeps debris from obstructing it. The brand-new robot vacuum cleaner has a cleaning capacity of 180 square meters and uses an LDS laser for navigation.

Three different water volume options are available on the S10T to accommodate different preferences for mopping. With a single charge, its 5,200mAh battery can clean up to 180 square meters.

The cleaning and mopping operation is sped up by its 450ml dustbin and 250ml water tank. The robot can climb over barriers as tall as 2 cm.

It uses LDS laser navigation to traverse and creates an accurate map of the cleaning area. The quad-core chip in the robot implements the SLAM algorithm for effective operations, and the map can be utilized to direct it to particular locations.

Through the Mi Home or Xiaomi Home apps, the Xiaomi S10T robot vacuum cleaner may be remotely operated. You may designate no-go areas and schedule cleaning activities using the app.

The S10T’s release date, pricing, and availability information are anticipated to be announced shortly.

Nano Box: A Chinese electric SUV; cheaper than Suzuki Cultus

by
Nano Box: A Chinese electric SUV
  • A new electric SUV from Chinese automaker Dongfeng is more affordable than the standard Suzuki Cultus.
  • The Nano-Box is a little crossover SUV with a modern style and a rounded profile.
  • It includes a 27.2 kWh ternary lithium battery that enables a cruising range of up to 331 kilometers.

A new electric SUV from Chinese automaker Dongfeng is more affordable than the standard Suzuki Cultus. It is an A-segment crossover SUV with an all-electric drivetrain known as “Nano Box.”

The infant SUV is not Dongfeng’s first all-electric model. Aeolus EX1, Dongfeng Fengxing T1, Dongfeng Fengguang E1, and Venucia e30 are additional EVs. In the next five years, the company plans to introduce 3 to 5 new EV models in an effort to increase its EV output.

The Nano-Box is a little crossover SUV with a modern style and a rounded profile. It includes a 27.2 kWh ternary lithium battery that enables a cruise range of up to 331 kilometers. It has a single electric motor that produces 125 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque and 44 horsepower (hp), and it exclusively drives the front wheels.

The Nano Box has a number of contemporary features, similar to other contemporary SUVs, including:

  • A 7-inch instrument panel
  • a 10-inch central control screen
  • app-based vehicle controls
  • automatic and remote climate control
  • a car-location indicator
  • an internal diagnosis system
  • charging management
  • parking sensors
  • ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and brake assist (BA) technology
  • voice recognition
  • a rear camera
  • Bluetooth connectivity

If DFSK introduces the SUV in Pakistan, it will be one of the most affordable EVs in the world and a compelling option for Pakistan’s consumers. The SUV is currently priced at roughly Rs. 2.2 million in China.

Kia announces major price spike for all vehicles

by
Kia announces major price spike
  • Lucky Motor Corporation Limited (LMCL) has increased the pricing of all Kia automobiles in Pakistan.
  • This is LMCL’s fourth price hike this year.
  • According to Kia, the depreciation of the local currency and a rise in shipping expenses caused major spike.

In the previous two years, Lucky Motor Corporation Limited (LMCL) was renowned for maintaining vehicle costs. Unfortunately, the automaker has been compelled to hike car pricing alongside other businesses due to the depreciation of local currency and rise in shipping expenses.

As per a recent statement, the business has increased the pricing of all Kia automobiles in Pakistan namely Sportage, Stonic, and Picanto. The following are the new prices, which take effect right away:

Variants Old Price (Rs.) Revised Price (Rs.) Increase (Rs.)
Picanto M/T 2,600,000 3,100,000 500,000
Picanto A/T 2,700,000 3,200,000 500,000
Sportage Alpha 5,300,000 6,250,000 897,000
Sportage FWD 5,858,000 6,750,000 892,000
Sportage AWD 6,363,000 7,250,000 877,000
Stonic EX 4,425,000 4,545,000 76,000
Stonic EX+ 4,725,000 4,848,000 76,000
Sorento 2.4 FWD 6,904,360 7,800,000 895,000
Sorento 2.4 AWD 7,573,990 8,500,000 926,000
Sorento V6 FWD 7,573,990 8,500,000 926,000
Carnival 11,499,000 12,599,000 1,100,000

Oddly, compared to the rest of the lineup, the price increases for the Kia Stonic are minimal. The top-selling Kia vehicles now cost more thanks to a fourth price hike this year from LMCL.

This price increase is probably due to the Pakistani Rupee’s rate against the US Dollar, which was Rs. 222 on July 19. With additional companies issuing such somber announcements and blaming the devaluation of the Pakistani Rupee for their price increases, Kia may have started a new wave of price increases in the automotive sector.

According to Arif Habib, the ongoing depreciation of the Pakistani rupee versus the US dollar and political upheaval are to blame for the benchmark KSE-100 index’s sideways performance.

Exploration and production (+73.3 points), banks (+29.0 points), OMCs (+15.8 points), electricity (+13.6 points), and technology are among the sectors that have helped the performance (11.8 points).

  • Meetings were held with ministers and top officials from various Afghan Ministries.
  • Border crossing points, including Torkham, Karachi, Ghulam Khan, and Spin Boldak, will have longer operational hours.

From July 18 to 20, a Pakistani delegation headed by Secretary of Commerce Muhammad Sualeh Ahmed Faruqui visited Kabul to discuss joint initiatives for boosting cross-border transit and connectivity.

During the two-day tour, the delegation also reviewed the essential trade facilitation measures to solve the real-world challenges faced by importers, exporters, merchants, and businesses from both sides.

The Pakistan team includes representatives from all pertinent ministries and departments with regard to economic contact, commerce, transit, commercial exchanges, and improving facilitation at all border crossing locations in order to achieve significant progress on these issues.

Meetings were held with ministers and top officials from various Afghan Ministries, including Nooruddin Azizi, the acting minister of commerce, and Amir Khan Muttaqi, the acting minister of foreign affairs.

The following beneficial outcomes were agreed upon by the two parties during the substantive discussions:

  1. Bilateral trade and transit have increased over the past fiscal year. On a mutually advantageous basis, this momentum needs to be maintained and further reinforced.
  2. It was decided to make border crossing points more effective in order to ensure prompt passage of trade and transit traffic and to prioritize resolving bottlenecks and obstacles.
  3. To further boost trade between the two nations, the two sides decided to create a Temporary Admission Document (TAD) that would provide unfettered circulation of vehicles engaged in bilateral trade and prohibit loading and unloading of cargo at border crossing locations.
  4. All crossing points, including Torkham, Karachi, Ghulam Khan, and Chaman/Spin Boldak, would have longer operational hours as a result of an agreement between the two sides’ competent authorities.
  5. In order to increase the effectiveness of the clearance of products, the heads of the customs departments of the two nations decided to collaborate and develop mutually connected custom procedures and systems.
  6. Actions should be made to begin a luxury bus service between Quetta and Kandahar and Peshawar and Jalalabad, with a goal of launching the service by the end of August this year.
  7. Through mutual collaboration, difficulties in visa processing would be resolved.

The two parties underlined their commitment to maintaining regular coordination in order to put these understandings into practice and increase economic cooperation.

Gold price falls by Rs 1200 per tola despite Rupee’s depreciation

Gold price falls in Pakistan
  • Despite the rupee’s collapse, the price of gold in Pakistan fell by Rs 1,200 per tola.
  • Bullion prices fell $9 per ounce to close at $ 1,708 on the global market.
  • In Pakistan, gold is priced at about Rs 2,000 less than the Dubai market.

Despite the rupee’s collapse, which on Wednesday reached an all-time low of Rs224.92 versus the US dollar, the price of gold in Pakistan fell by Rs 1,200 per tola.

The price of gold in the local bullion market reduced by Rs 1,200 per tola to Rs 144,000 and by Rs 1,028 for 10 kilos to Rs 123,457, according to the All Sindh Sarafa Jewellers Association (ASSJA).

The valuable commodity had a previous day’s closing price of Rs145,200 per tola and Rs124,485 per 10 kilos.

Analysts were taken aback by a decrease in the price of gold because historical evidence suggests that during periods of inflation, people tended to hold aggressive positions in gold.

A gold dealer told Geo.tv that purchasing gold is a secure bet against currency depreciation or devaluation.

Some investors are more inclined towards the conventional shining asset, but people may invest directly in the dollar to obtain a same advantage, he said.

But according to him, Pakistan is still only a minor portion of the world gold market. As it does not manufacture the commodity locally, it imports it to satisfy demand.

As a result, the price of gold in local markets is established by taking into account its costs on international markets, the rupee-dollar exchange rate, as well as the supply and demand for it in those markets.

Bullion prices fell $9 per ounce to close at $1,708 on the global market.

In Pakistan, gold is priced at about Rs 2,000 less than it would be in the Dubai market.

In the meantime, today’s domestic market silver prices stayed the same at Rs. 1,580 per tola and Rs. 1,354.60 per 10 grams.
