The local governor stated that Russia is defending against drone attacks on the Nevinomysk industrial zone in the southern Stavropol region.On August 24th, following US President Trumps announcement of an "unprecedented" economic war against Iran, US Treasury Secretary Bessenter confirmed that the specific details of the "unprecedented economic isolation" measures against Iran would be officially announced on the 24th. Iran, on the other hand, played its "oil export countermeasure" card on the 23rd: if the US waged an economic war, there would be no more oil exports from the Strait of Hormuz or even the Persian Gulf region. Currently, there are less than 24 hours left before the US announces the details of the sanctions. Public opinion generally believes that this is a desperate move by the US given the current situation of a protracted war between the US and Iran and the failure of negotiations. Although the specific measures have not yet been announced, some analysts believe that this action may ultimately lead to a "lose-lose" situation.On August 24, Xiyin announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that it plans to issue approximately 280 million Class B shares (subject to reallocation and the exercise of the over-allotment option) for its Hong Kong listing, with a pricing range of HK$47.60 to HK$49.50 per share.

Panasonic Anticipates A Rise in Global Automobile Production This Fiscal Year

Panasonic (OTC:PCRFY) Holdings Corp, which manufactures batteries for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other automakers, stated on Wednesday that it anticipates a recovery in global vehicle production this fiscal year, but that the two-year semiconductor shortage will persist.


Masashi Nagayasu, CEO of the Japanese conglomerate's automotive business, which manufactures in-car infotainment systems and other auto components, stated, "We will operate our business in consideration of the risks of fluctuations in vehicle manufacturing."


Nagayasu stated on the first day of Panasonic's annual investor event that the company has no plans to produce automobiles.


Panasonic, whose automotive division accounts for approximately 14 percent of its entire revenue, anticipates a 19 percent increase in sales for the fiscal year ending in March 2023. It anticipates an operational profit increase of roughly 17 percent.


Due to component shortages caused by COVID-19 lockdowns in China and higher commodity prices as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the company stated last month that it did not anticipate a profit increase for this fiscal year.


(This item corrects the firm name in paragraph 1 to Panasonic Holdings Corp from Panasonic Corp, and the sales growth forecast in paragraph 4 to 19 percent from 10 percent, and the operating profit forecast to nearly 17 percent from 15 percent decline.)
