Kalyan Jewellers Q4 Results: Profit Jumps 118%, Dividend Declared As Stock Rises

Kalyan Jewellers India reported a 118.2% rise in March-quarter profit on Friday and recommended a final dividend, helped by strong wedding and festival demand. The stock rose after the earnings release. The result matters now because investors have been watching whether organised jewellery chains can keep growing while gold prices stay high. It is also a read-through for discretionary spending before the June-quarter wedding season, when Indian jewellery demand usually picks up.

HSBC Holdings Plc Wins Saudi Debt Role as $400 Million Credit Hit Shadows AGM

HSBC Holdings Plc is now a primary dealer in Saudi Arabia’s local government debt market, according to the country’s Ministry of Finance and National Debt Management Center. The London-based lender gains an official pathway to route investor orders into Saudi riyal debt instruments. Both parties stand to benefit from the timing here. Saudi Arabia wants to draw in more investors for its domestic debt market, and HSBC is set to expand its presence in the Gulf’s rapidly developing capital markets. A primary dealer refers to a bank or securities firm permitted to handle investor orders during government debt sales and to support secondary market trading once the debt is issued.

Coinbase Has a Wall Street Problem: Morgan Stanley’s E*Trade Crypto Fees Turn Up the Heat

Morgan Stanley is rolling out crypto trading on ETrade, slashing prices and putting Coinbase Global under new pricing strain. The Wall Street bank is charging 50 basis points per crypto trade, Bloomberg reported, and intends to extend access to all 8.6 million ETrade clients before the year’s out. Coinbase, the biggest U.S. crypto exchange, is now facing direct competition from a firm with a massive brokerage customer base. The shift is happening: crypto is edging into standard brokerage accounts, alongside stocks, ETFs, and cash. Morgan Stanley last year announced plans for E*Trade clients to trade bitcoin, ether, and solana via Zerohash, its digital-asset backbone. Coinbase, meanwhile, will release its first-quarter numbers after Thursday’s close.

UK Stock Market Today: FTSE 100 Slides as Shell, BP and BAE Drag London Lower

The FTSE 100 tumbled 1.6% to 10,276.95 on Thursday, reversing some of the prior gains as heavyweights Shell, BP, and defense stocks dragged the index lower. Investors pulled back after the recent rally. The FTSE 250, focused more on the UK domestic market, managed a slim 0.2% rise. London’s market is caught in a tug-of-war: oil dropping under $100 brings a slight break for inflation, but energy shares take the hit. On top of that, a stronger pound chips away at FTSE heavyweights’ overseas revenues once converted. Investors are also watching as Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces a political hurdle.

Trent Bonus Share Date Changed: Zudio Parent Sets June 4 Cut-Off For 1:2 Issue

Trent Ltd pushed back the record date for its 1:2 bonus share issue to June 4, after originally setting it for May 29. Investors now have until the new deadline to qualify for the Tata Group retailer’s first-ever bonus issue. The shift was announced by the company in a May 6 exchange filing. The timing is crucial here: the record date determines which shareholders are on the books when a company finalizes a corporate action. For Trent, that 1:2 bonus translates to investors picking up one extra equity share for every two fully paid shares in their account, pending the green light from shareholders and regulators.

Shell Stock Faces A Tougher Test As Erste Downgrade Lands Before Q1 Results

Shell shares slid again Wednesday after Erste Group downgraded the oil giant to “hold” from “buy.” The bank flagged concerns about the staying power of Shell’s current profits, with that call landing just a day ahead of first-quarter earnings. Shell’s New York shares were trading at $86.80 in the afternoon, off $2.91, or roughly 3.2%. BP, Exxon Mobil, and TotalEnergies were also in the red. The clock’s ticking for Shell. With its May 7 update due, the company faces a sharp question: can it squeeze enough out of turbulent oil trading to make up for softer gas production, ongoing issues in Qatar, and a big swing in working capital—money locked away in inventories and outstanding payments? Shell has already warned

Gold Price Today: Why Silver Suddenly Jumped ₹7,700 And Gold Touched ₹1.52 Lakh

On Wednesday, Indian bullion prices jumped, snapping their losing streak. Silver outpaced gold, rallying as traders moved back into precious metals following multiple softer sessions. The surge hit futures and spot markets alike. For households, jewellers, and short-term traders, prices moved sharply in one session, shifting the tone around what buyers and sellers are willing to discuss—even if both metals are still trading under their highs from January.

Why Sensex Jumped 941 Points Today As Nifty Topped 24,300

Indian equities snapped higher on Wednesday, logging their sharpest advance in almost three weeks. The Sensex added 940.73 points by the close, while the Nifty crossed the 24,300 mark, both benchmarks lifted as tumbling oil prices offered relief to a crude-import-heavy economy. Final tallies: BSE Sensex up 1.22% at 77,958.52, NSE Nifty 50 climbing 1.24% to 24,330.95. This shift is significant: crude prices have carried the bulk of macro risk for India throughout the U.S.-Iran standoff. Brent crude—the global yardstick—dropped sharply, with Washington and Tehran reportedly pursuing a memorandum that could outline steps for nuclear negotiations and a potential path out of the conflict.

Rolls-Royce Holdings Share Price Bucks FTSE 100 Rout as 2026 Guidance Holds

Shares of Rolls-Royce Holdings plc managed a slight climb in London on Tuesday, bucking the broader UK market’s slide. Investors seemed reassured by the company’s reiterated targets for profit and cash flow in 2026. According to Hargreaves Lansdown, the stock closed up 0.23% at 1,196.40p/1,197.00p, even as the FTSE 100 lost 1.4%. The drop drew attention, coming as HSBC’s unexpected loss, spiking energy prices, and renewed U.S.-Iran tensions weighed on sentiment. According to Reuters, the blue-chip FTSE 100 fell to 10,219.1 points—marking its sharpest daily slide since late March.

Aviva And Legal & General Shares Slide As Jefferies Warns UK Insurer Dividend Trade Is Losing Its Edge

Shares of Aviva and Legal & General dropped Tuesday after Jefferies downgraded both FTSE 100 insurers, flagging a more cautious stance toward the UK insurance space known for steady dividends and capital returns. The broker shifted Aviva down to Hold from Buy, and moved Legal & General to Underperform from Hold, based on the note cited in reports. The clock is ticking. Investors have already pushed up parts of the sector on high yields, buybacks, and tighter growth targets. Legal & General slipped 3.41% to £2.46 at the close, with Aviva down 2.42% at £6.12; both lagged a sluggish FTSE 100, which lost 1.40%.

HSBC Shares Tumble After Surprise $400 Million Private Credit Hit

HSBC Holdings slid 5.9% in London trading Tuesday as word of a surprise $400 million loss tied to a fraud case rattled investors, reigniting anxieties over private credit risk. That hit left HSBC among the top weights pulling the FTSE 100 lower. Timing here is critical. Regulators in the US, the UK, and other countries have begun sharpening their scrutiny of banks’ exposure to the $3.5 trillion private credit sector—a space known for lending that takes place outside the public bond markets, often wrapped in opaque structures. According to Reuters, HSBC’s loss traces back to loans connected to Apollo-backed Atlas SP, as well as its role financing the now-defunct UK mortgage lender Market Financial Solutions, sources said.

XRP ETF Hype Meets a Reality Check as Inflows Break Near $1.40

Spot XRP ETFs in the U.S. saw a modest outflow for the week ending May 1, snapping a three-week streak of inflows and putting the latest bullish XRP story to the test. The funds lost around $35,210, reversing part of the $82.88 million that flowed in over the previous three weeks, according to SoSoValue data reported by BeInCrypto. German finance sites, meanwhile, circulated new adoption and price narratives for the token. This shift is significant: ETFs now serve as XRP’s primary entry point into standard brokerage platforms. A spot ETF like Franklin’s tracks the actual token, offering investors listed shares tied to XRP’s price—no crypto wallets or private keys required. In its filing, Franklin calls the XRP ETF a passive

CSL Limited Buyback Rolls On as Shares Hover Near Eight-Year Lows After Flu Setback

CSL Limited snapped up another 54,887 ordinary shares on May 1, according to a Monday filing. That brings the tally to 6.41 million shares under its ongoing buyback. The biotech firm dropped A$6.86 million on the latest batch, with its on-market repurchase still limited to a maximum of US$750 million. So far, CSL has spent or committed a total of around A$1.06 billion, all in Australian dollars. Timing is key here. CSL shares wrapped up Monday’s session off 0.35% at A$124.40, hitting near the bottom of their 52-week span—A$123.88 to A$275.79, according to market data. The buyback, then, is stepping in as shares in one of Australia’s top healthcare names keep slipping.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia Shares Face RBA Test After NAB, Westpac Misses

Commonwealth Bank of Australia starts Tuesday facing renewed pressure, as two other Big Four banks came up short on profits and RBA rate hike fears swirl. Shares finished the previous session at A$172.21, off 0.48%, just ahead of the market’s reopening. Here's the key: CBA has long traded at a premium as the cleanest of Australia’s big banks. With rates, margins, and bad debts snapping back into focus this week, that reputation meets its first real challenge.

ANZ Shares Get a UBS Lift, but Matos’ Turnaround Still Has a Mortgage Problem

Shares of ANZ Group Holdings Limited finished Monday up 1.91% at A$36.29, after analysts at UBS shifted their rating to neutral from sell and pegged a new price target of A$36.50. The move brings focus back to Nuno Matos’ bank reset following last week’s results. Timing played a role. The S&P/ASX200 in Australia dropped 32.7 points, closing at 8,697.1 as traders braced for the Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision due Tuesday. National Australia Bank’s earnings miss weighed on financials. ANZ, meanwhile, “bounced modestly” after its post-results slump, according to AAP.
