T-Mobile's Metro unveils lower priced prepaid plans with 5-year price lock

WHY IT'S IMPORTANTThe launch by T-Mobile's unit, Metro, comes at a time when consumers are becoming budget-conscious after around two years of persistent inflation and amid widespread concern that U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war could trigger a recession. The strategy could also shield its market share from other providers that are increasing promotions and bundling wireless with broadband plans to attract customers.

Oil group Equinor must explain climate discrepancy, minority owners say

OSLO (Reuters) -The board of Norway's Equinor must explain how the company's plan to raise oil and gas production aligns with its stated commitment to the Paris agreement on curbing climate change, a group of minority shareholders said on Tuesday. Equinor, which is 67% government owned, this year joined the likes of Shell and BP in promising higher petroleum output while scaling back investment in renewables. In a resolution to be voted on at Equinor's May 14 annual general meeting, the minority owners said there were "material inconsistencies" between the company's climate strategy and the policy expectations expressed by its majority shareholder.

Halliburton warns of tariff impact, lower North America oilfield activity; shares plunge

HOUSTON (Reuters) -Halliburton on Tuesday warned of a second-quarter earnings impact from tariffs and lower oilfield activity in North America as producers evaluate drilling and completions at weak oil prices, sending shares of the oilfield service producer down about 6%. Halliburton is the first of the Big Three U.S. oilfield services providers and among the first large oil company to report earnings as U.S. crude prices hover under $64 a barrel. Many companies say they cannot drill profitably if oil prices fall under $65 a barrel, denting demand for equipment and services provided by companies like Halliburton.

Regeneron to invest over $3 billion to boost US manufacturing

Major U.S. drugmakers, including Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson, have recently announced additional investments in their U.S. production as they prepare to deal with potential drug import duties from President Donald Trump's administration. Last week, the U.S. opened a national security investigation into pharmaceutical companies to show why the country needs tariffs to boost domestic manufacturing. Under the terms of the deal, Tokyo-based Fujifilm Diosynth's facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina will manufacture and supply drug products for Regeneron's biologic medicines for a span of 10 years.

Oil prices settle up nearly 2% on new Iran sanctions, equities rally

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Oil prices settled more than $1 per barrel higher on Tuesday as new U.S. sanctions against Iran and rising equity markets helped spark a recovery rally from the prior session's steep selloff. Brent crude futures rose $1.18, or 1.8%, to settle at $67.44 per barrel. Brent and WTI fell more than 2% on Monday as the United States and Iran signalled progress in talks over the latter's nuclear program, and as stock markets sold off sharply on U.S. President Donald Trump's criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

US judge confirms Red Tree's offer as starting bid in Citgo parent's auction

HOUSTON (Reuters) -A U.S. federal judge on Monday confirmed a $3.7 billion offer by Contrarian Funds' affiliate Red Tree Investments as the starting bid in an auction of shares in the parent of Venezuela-owned refiner Citgo Petroleum to pay creditors and bondholders, according to a court filing. The offer, which had been recommended by a court officer overseeing the auction, unleashed a battle among 16 creditors seeking to cash proceeds from the auction, with some supporting the bid because it includes a payment agreement with holders of a bond issued by Citgo's ultimate parent, Caracas-headquartered PDVSA, and others saying it was too low. A consortium led by miner Gold Reserve, which had submitted a $7.1 billion rival bid, other creditors and lawyers representing Venezuela in the eight-year-long case in Delaware filed objections to Red Tree's bid, which were overruled by U.S. District Judge Leonard Stark.

US finalizes tariffs on Southeast Asian solar imports

The case was brought last year by Korea's Hanwha Qcells, Arizona-based First Solar Inc and several smaller producers seeking to protect billions of dollars in investments in U.S. solar manufacturing. The petitioner group, the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, accused big Chinese solar panel makers with factories in Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam of shipping panels priced below their cost of production and of receiving unfair subsidies that make American goods uncompetitive. The tariffs unveiled on Monday vary widely depending on the company and country, but were broadly higher than the preliminary duties announced late last year.

Exclusive-India plans to ease nuclear liability laws to attract foreign firms, sources say

India is planning to ease its nuclear liability laws to cap accident-related penalties on equipment suppliers, three government sources said, in a move mainly to attract U.S. firms that have been holding back due to the risk of unlimited exposure. The proposal by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government is the latest step to expand nuclear power production capacity by 12 times to 100 gigawatts by 2047 as well as provide a fillip to India in trade and tariff negotiations with the U.S. A draft law prepared by the department of atomic energy removes a key clause in the Civil Nuclear Liability Damage Act of 2010 that exposes suppliers to unlimited liability for accidents, the three sources said.
