India is shifting gears from signing trade agreements to executing them on the ground as it pushes toward its $1 trillion export ambition. With nine Free Trade Agreements signed since 2021 covering 38 countries, the foundation is already in place.

But the real story now is execution — how these deals translate into actual exports, shipments, and economic impact in global markets.

China's transition to electric vehicles has been one of the biggest success stories in the global auto industry.

Washington's most predictable drama has flipped. For over a year, President Donald Trump branded Jerome Powell a "knucklehead" for refusing to cut interest rates. On Wednesday, with new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh holding rates steady at his very first meeting, and half the Fed signalling a possible rate hike, Trump's reaction from Paris was: "It's all right. Whatever."

On Wednesday, President Trump, referring to new Fed boss Kevin Warsh, said: "We have a very good guy over there now, so I'm guided by what he wants."

The Fed left rates unchanged, with about half the members signalling the next move to be a hike rather than a cut. So Trump's comment is not policy alignment, but a relationship pivot.
