Reuters•yesterdayGoogle to charge smartphone makers for Google Play in Europe
BRUSSELS/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google on Tuesday revamped how it distributes its mobile apps in the European Union, introducing a licensing fee for device makers to access its app marketplace in a response to regulators' findings that it had broken antitrust law. The new arrangement opens doors for Google's web search and browser rivals such as Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) but essentially leaves the U.S. tech giant's lucrative mobile business intact, analysts said. The European Commission in July fined Google a record 4.34 billion euro ($5 billion) for using the market dominance of its mobile software to hinder rivals in areas such as internet search.

In the previous part of this series, we saw that Intel’s (INTC) delay in the launch of the 10 nm (nanometer) node could put it behind rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (or TSMC) (TSM) in terms of technology. For years, Intel has been the leader in the manufacturing technology node. It was this technological advantage that helped Intel gain market share and command a high price for its products.

Market Realist•2 days agoWhen Will Intel Launch Its 10-Nanometer Products?
In the previous part of this series, we saw that Intel (INTC) launched it ninth-generation Core processors even though it’s facing yield issues on its 10 nm (nanometer) node. Intel has already delayed the launch of its 10 nm products from the 2016 holiday season to the 2019 holiday season, allowing rivals Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (or TSMC) (TSM) and Samsung (SSNLF) to go ahead of it in terms of manufacturing technology. With the 7 nm node, AMD has tweaked its strategy and is bringing server CPUs first, which could be followed by client CPUs. On the other hand, Intel could launch its client CPUs first and then server CPUs, although the gap between the two launches would be short due to delays in the 10 nm node.

The US tariffs on Chinese goods would impact US companies that manufacture or import goods from China (FXI), including Micron Technology (MU). Micron Technology is the world’s third-largest memory chip maker and competes with South Korean rivals Samsung (SSNLF) and SK Hynix in terms of price and technology. As Samsung and Sk Hynix have a cost advantage over Micron in the DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) market, they can offer DRAM at a lower price than Micron and still remain profitable. The second round of 10% tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports includes SSDs (solid-state drives) and printed circuit board assemblies that integrate DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) modules to electronics devices.

GRAPHIC-Deepening bear market sees $1 trln wiped off emerging equities since 2018 peak
A selloff in global stocks tore like a wrecking ball through emerging equities on Thursday with the key index flirting with its biggest daily tumble since the surprise Brexit vote stunned markets in June 2016. The emerging benchmark is now falling deeper into bear market territory - defined as peak-to-trough losses of more than 20 percent - after first cracking that milestone in August. Translating this into the index's market cap, the MSCI benchmark has lost some $1.1 trillion or more than 18 percent of its value - more than double the drop in value global stocks have suffered.

3 Things to (Still) Like About Intel
Let’s call a spade a spade: it’s been the unexpected revival of a left-for-dead Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) that’s made life miserable for Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) shareholders of late. Although Intel stock was up as much as 24% for the year as of June, another batch of new products from AMD has taken the Intel stock price from more than $57 to less than $46. Although Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has long been a fan of Intel’s modems and connectivity tech for its iPhones, the buzz is that Apple won’t be tapping Intel to supply Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips for the version of the smartphone expected to launch in 2020 after all.
Reuters•8 days agoIndia to raise import tariffs on electronic and communication items
NEW DELHI/MUMBAI (Reuters) - India said on Thursday it will raise import tariffs on several electronic items and communication devices, in another move to rein in imports and bolster a falling rupee. The tariff hike, the second such move by India in a two week span, was announced late on Thursday by New Delhi as it attempts to raise import barriers to curtail the import of goods it deems as "non-essential" items. The latest set of increased tariffs could ratchet up trade tensions with the United States and China, among other countries and hurt the likes of network equipment makers such as Cisco Systems Inc, Huawei Technologies Co, ZTE Corp, Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung Electronics.

In theory, tariffs are used to make imported goods costlier than domestic goods in order to encourage consumers to buy domestic goods. The United States imposed tariffs on Chinese (FXI) goods to make American goods cheaper and promote local business.
