The larger job market in India remains buoyant across sectors – even amid layoffs by a clutch of startups in recent months – and employees will generally continue to call the shots through FY23. “We see FY23 to remain an employees’ market with some amount of adjustments. Employees still have the bargaining power, opportunities and enjoy the benefit of demand,” said RP Yadav, chairman of Genius Consultants, a staffing and human resource company. While information technology and IT-enabled services will continue recruiting, e-commerce, logistics and export-oriented sectors including textiles and leather goods are doing well in terms of hiring. The consumer goods sector will increasingly do well, as will the retail and hospitality segment, according to staffing firms, HR experts and talent managers. The near-normal level of economic activity in retail and hospitality is indicative of a revival in these sectors after a prolonged phase of weakness due to the pandemic and offers a … [Read more...] about Amid startup layoffs, larger job market remains buoyant across sectors

FMM hails govt’s decision to absorb fuel price increase
- A + A KUALA LUMPUR (June 25): The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) has hailed the government’s decision not to pass through a higher surcharge rate to consumers despite the recent sharp increase in fuel and other electricity generation costs. “The FMM is pleased that the government had positively considered its call for assistance to help curb one of the industries’ major operational input costs, i.e. energy cost,” said FMM president Tan Sri Soh Thian Lai on Saturday (June 25).

The Office Monsters Are Trying to Claw Their Way Back to 2019
Representative image Some corporate leaders are grasping at whatever they can to get back to the way things were. But they might find themselves fighting a culture shift beyond their control. As long as work has existed, employers have tried to size up their employees’ commitment to their jobs. Are you on the fast track? The mommy track? The leadership track? Now, if some corporate leaders have their way, there will be a new test for workplace devotion — and anyone who opts for remote work gets a failing grade. But can C.E.O.s really claw their way back to 2019? This past week, Elon Musk issued an ultimatum to Tesla and SpaceX employees requiring them to return to the office for at least 40 hours per week — or lose their jobs. Mr. Musk, who is known for having camped out for weeks at Tesla factories, thinks remote work is an affront to productivity and personal commitment. Last month, he praised Chinese workers for “burning the 3 a.m. oil,” comparing them with … [Read more...] about The Office Monsters Are Trying to Claw Their Way Back to 2019
Wall Street mints big gains to end a strong week
Wall Street, New York City (File image: Reuters) Wall Street's main indices soared on Friday in a broad rally as signs of slowing economic growth and a recent pullback in commodity prices tempered expectations for the Federal Reserve's rate-hike plans. The S&P 500 rose over 3% for its biggest one-day percentage rise since May 2020. All 11 of the benchmark index's sectors ended at least 1.5% higher. Stocks rebounded this week as financial markets have been roiled over worries that rapid rate hikes by the Fed to rein in 40-year-high inflation could cause a recession. Still, investors have been gauging when the market might hit its bottom after the benchmark S&P 500 earlier this month recorded a 20% drop from its January closing peak, confirming the common definition of a bear market. "Some of the moves, the sellers just get exhausted so you don’t have as much capital moving out," said Shawn Cruz, head trading strategist at TD Ameritrade.

How I beat Wall Street for 103 consecutive months
Wall Street, New York City (File image: Reuters) From 1999 to 2019, I managed money for some of the largest hedge funds in the world ( Millennium, Brevan Howard, ExodusPoint ). During that time, I generated positive returns for 103 consecutive months, which is quite possibly the longest such streak in hedge fund history. This extraordinary feat was made possible by my strict adherence to three key principles. First, I made sure that I had a method that turns the odds in my favour. Second, I had the discipline to stay with that system in good times, and bad times. Finally, it is vital to play with a bankroll that is large enough to ride out market fluctuations. Lose any one of these three things, and it becomes impossible to beat the market for any length of time. Have A System : As a professional gambler who accidently landed on Wall Street way back in 1993, I have always had a keen sense of the odds in any game. I played blackjack because it is the only game where a … [Read more...] about How I beat Wall Street for 103 consecutive months

Accumulate Vinati Organics; target of Rs 1983: CD Equisearch
Trade Watchlist Portfolio Message Set Alert live bse live nse live Volume Todays L/H More × CD Equisearch's research report on Vinati Organics As per Crisil Research, the Indian specialty chemicals industry is expected to outpace its Chinese counterpart and almost double its global market share to ~6% by 2026. Much of this growth will be powered by solid export tailwinds due to a shift in the global supply chain driven by the China+1 policy of vendors and demand recovery in domestic end-user segments. Currently, the industry is confronted with a sharp rise in input costs, including fuel costs, and facing logistical challenges emerging from China. Beyond the ‘Chine plus one’ opportunity within agrochemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, tailwinds from the imminent investment cycle in e-mobility, batteries, and renewables have further expanded the total addressable market that has … [Read more...] about Accumulate Vinati Organics; target of Rs 1983: CD Equisearch
