(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KALV#NASDAQ">KALV</a>) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has notified the Company that it will not meet the PDUFA goal date for the New Drug Application (NDA) for sebetralstat, the Company's investigational oral on-demand treatment for hereditary angioedema (HAE). The FDA notified the Company on June 13, 2025, that the previously disclosed June 17, 2025 PDUFA goal date will not be met due to heavy workload and limited resources.

The FDA has not requested additional data or studies and has not raised any concerns regarding the safety, efficacy or approvability of sebetralstat. KalVista has addressed all prior information requests in a timely manner, and the Company believes the only remaining item under FDA review is the finalization of the labelling.

KalVista Pharma Says FDA Will Not Meet PDUFA Goal Date For New Drug Application For Sebetralstat, Oral On-Demand Treatment For Hereditary Angioedema

The S&amp;P Steel Index is gaining in 2025, buoyed by a combination of tariff leverage, robust balance sheets, and strong returns on capital.
Year to date, the S&amp;P Steel Sub-Industry Index is up 8.40% as of June 12, as the US steel sector stabilizes. It has room to grow over the short term after President Trump's decision to double US steel tariff imports from 25% to 50% as of June 4, 2025, following a new executive order.
But tariffs aren&#8217;t the only reason steel stocks are rising.
The trade policy shift, announced in late May during a rally at a U.S. Steel factory near Pittsburgh, immediately sent steel stocks soaring, with Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) rising 26% in a single day following the announcement, while Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) and Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>) saw gains of 10-11%. "The tariffs effectively raise the price floor for steel in the U.S. market by making imported steel significantly more expensive," said Tracy Shuchart, senior economist at NinjaTrader in New York City. "According to market data, benchmark steel prices have already increased from $725 per metric ton before the tariff announcement to $875 per metric ton currently."
It&#8217;s not only tariffs that are supporting steel industry gains.
"Steel's rally is a mix of short-term catalysts and long-term structural forces," said Dan Buckley, chief analyst at DayTrading.com. "US tariffs are boosting expectations for domestic producers, while sustained federal spending on infrastructure and reshoring is aiding durable demand."
"Add in supply chain restocking, auto sector recovery, and disciplined capital returns from top players like Nucor and Steel Dynamics, and the sector is showing a more stable profile," Buckley added.
The tariff portion of that equation may not have a long shelf life, so investors should proceed cautiously. Talks between the U.S. and Mexico are already underway to curb the 50% tariff figure.
"For example, the two countries are exploring a quota system that would allow a specific amount of Mexican steel to enter the U.S. duty-free or at lower rates, with only excess amounts subject to the full 50% levy," Shuchart noted. "This negotiation explains why some steel stocks like Nucor fell 6.1% on June 11, as investors reacted to the possibility of tariff exemptions. The European Union has also strongly opposed the increased tariffs, warning of potential countermeasures."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Benzinga Exclusive: Master Trader Reveals ‘Power Patterns' Behind 100% Gains</h2>
For the last decade, these three "Power Patterns" have delivered winning trades during the summer &#8211; one an astonishing 90% of the time. Now they're firing up again over the next 75 days. Want a 30-year veteran trader to show you how to play them? See <a href="https://events2.benzinga.com/power-pattern-profits-live/?utm_campaign=power-pattern-registration&amp;utm_adType=sponsorad&amp;utm_ad=RD061625&amp;he={{email}}&amp;adt_ei={{email}}&amp;utm_medium=newsletter&amp;el=ResearchDaily">HERE</a> How a Master Trader Plays These "Power Patterns"
Investors should factor in other supportive steel sector impactors also driving industry stocks forward. Shuchart points to infrastructure investment, where ongoing and planned infrastructure projects drive demand for steel products across the United States.
Domestic construction activity is up, too, and in high-growth areas.
"Despite higher interest rates, commercial construction remains relatively robust, supporting demand for structural steel," Shuchart said. "Additionally, key steel-consuming industries like automotive and machinery manufacturing have shown surprising resilience in 2025, and the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure requires significant steel inputs, creating a new demand source for the industry.&#8221;
With a strong tailwind from U.S. government policy and solid fundamentals from the steel sector in place, which steel stocks make the most sense for investors right now? These three steel plays could add a profitable element to your portfolio.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nucor</h2>
Trading at $121 per share and 4.4% over the past month, Charlotte, N.C.-based Nucor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NUE#NYSE">NUE</a>), a steel products manufacturer, also offers a sturdy 1.82% dividend yield.
"Despite recent volatility due to potential Mexico tariff negotiations, Nucor remains the premier U.S. steel producer with industry-leading margins, a strong balance sheet, and consistent dividend growth," Shuchar said. "Its EAF production model provides cost flexibility, and its diverse product mix offers exposure to multiple end markets."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Steel Dynamics</h2>
At $133 per share and with a 1.50% dividend yield, Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) is up a healthy 16.7% year to date. However, the stock (like Nucor) is down moderately this week after the US-Mexico tariff negotiations went public. Wall Street is buzzing over those talks, which could center on reducing or even removing the 50% tariffs to a lower amount based on historical trade volumes.
Yet there's a lot to like about Steel Dynamics, which, like Nucor, offers investors operational efficiency and one of the lowest production cost structures in the industry. "The company has been expanding its value-added product portfolio, which should support margins even if base steel prices moderate," Shuchar said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ArcelorMittal</h2>
Buckley is bullish on the Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MT#NYSE">MT</a>), which engages in steelmaking and mining activity. "MT adds global diversification" to the manufacturing section of an investment portfolio," Buckley said. MT shares are up 30.6% year to date at $30 per share with a 1.55% dividend yield.
MT could also benefit from Nippon Steel's purchase of US Steel. Under an agreement inked in October 2024, ArcelorMittal is set up to purchase Nippon's 50% share in a joint venture deal for $1. In addition, MT will deep-six $1 billion of joint venture shareholder loans in an agreement that JP Morgan analyst Dominic O'Kane called a "major positive" for ArcelorMittal.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Look for Solid Fundamentals with Steel Stocks</h2>
Don't hit any "buy" buttons on steel stocks until you grasp a company's underlying fundamentals, even if the tariff wars seem to be working out in your favor.
Buckley said investors should prioritize key factors with steel companies. In his view, the best steel investments combine:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Cost-efficient production.</li>
<li>Strong returns on capital.</li>
<li>Strong balance sheets (i.e., low net debt, high-interest coverage, ample cash reserves, stable working capital, prudent capital expenditure discipline).</li>
<li>Quality net margins (i.e., a ~5% net margin is a solid baseline for this sector, and a 7- 10% range is excellent).</li>
</ul>
"Industry companies with high-margin, value-added products and sustainable dividend growth are best, rather than chasing commodity pricing volatility compared to the overall market," Buckley said. "Overall, steel stocks are less about chasing trends and more about aligning with the economic security playbook we're seeing as a geopolitical theme."

U.S. markets ended a choppy week on a cautious note, as modest gains through Thursday reversed sharply on Friday after escalating tensions between Israel and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45922022/trump-issues-stark-warning-to-iran-to-make-a-deal-after-israels-strikes-on-nuclear-sites-just-do-it-before-its-too-late">Iran rattled investor sentiment.</a>
Major equity indices, which had been hovering near all-time highs, pulled back as geopolitical risks surged back to the forefront.
The S&amp;P 500 – as tracked by the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) – ended 1.1% lower for the week, falling below the 6,000-point threshold. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Oil's Back In Focus—And Gold Is Eyeing New Highs</h3>
Late Thursday, Israel launched &#8220;Operation Rising Lion,&#8221; a sweeping aerial campaign targeting approximately 100 Iranian nuclear and military installations, reportedly killing several high-ranking officials. Iran responded by launching over 100 drones toward Israeli territory and vowed severe retaliation, raising fears of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45933856/iran-fires-ballistic-missiles-at-israel-tel-aviv-struck">broader regional escalation.</a>
Oil markets reacted swiftly: West Texas Intermediate crude surged past $70 a barrel, capping a double-digit percentage gain for the week — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45924154/the-120-oil-shock-just-became-a-real-risk-are-we-back-in-2022">its strongest in years.</a>
On the economic front, the much-feared tariff-driven inflation failed to materialize in May, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45881899/inflation-resumes-climb-in-may-but-tariffs-have-yet-to-hit-consumers">consumer</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45902987/producer-inflation-rises-less-than-forecasts-in-may-jobless-claims-signal-labor-market-cracks">producer</a> price reports generally coming in broadly below expectations.
Under normal circumstances, such data would have bolstered hopes for Federal Reserve rate cuts and likely sparked a rally on Wall Street. But the rally failed to materialize as soaring energy prices clouded the disinflation narrative.
Sector-wise, energy stocks led the weekly gains, buoyed by the oil rally, while financials underperformed. Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/price-target/25/06/45924707/oracle-to-rally-around-11-here-are-10-top-analyst-forecasts-for-friday">delivered a standout performance</a> – climbing by over 20% on its best weekly return since 2001 – following stronger-than-expected quarterly earnings and upbeat guidance.
Currency markets were also in motion. The U.S. dollar came under renewed pressure, with a key index tracking the greenback falling to its lowest level <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45906982/dollar-hits-27-month-lows-the-fed-should-cut-next-week-economist-says">in over three years.</a> 
Investors appeared increasingly uneasy about the long-term trajectory of U.S. fiscal policy, particularly as President Donald Trump's sweeping "One Big, Beautiful Bill" heads to the Senate.
Safe-haven demand for precious metals remained robust. Gold extended its powerful 2025 rally, supported by both geopolitical instability and persistent worries over the U.S. debt burden. The precious metal is on track to deliver its strongest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/guidance/25/06/45928561/gold-biggest-boom-in-decades-and-investors-are-still-missing-out">first-half performance since 1982.</a>
Silver also inched higher, hitting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45847216/silver-supercycle-you-never-have-enough-of-it-hedge-fund-analyst-says-as-50-level-looms">highest levels since 2012</a>.&nbsp;
All eyes now turn to the Federal Reserve's policy meeting next week. While no change to interest rates is expected, markets will scrutinize any shifts in the Fed's economic projections. In March, policymakers forecast 2025 GDP growth at 1.7% — down from 2.1% in December — and a 2.7% average inflation rate, revised upward from 2.5%.

Soft Inflation Data Meets Middle East Turmoil: This Week In Markets

President Donald Trump is set to host <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45894541/trump-sports-president-military-birthday-parade">a large military parade </a>in Washington D.C. on Saturday, June 14, an event that coincides with his birthday. It turns out big technology companies could be helping to fund the event alongside taxpayers.
What Happened: Trump's parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army on Saturday comes one year before a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45512795/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-donates-15-million-lends-rare-us-constitution-and-bill-of-rights-ahead-of-americas-250th-anniversary">planned semiquincentennial celebration</a> to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Both events are bringing in a large number of big, well-known companies to make donations to support the efforts, similar to the companies that donated to Trump's inauguration ceremony.
A <a href="https://www.theverge.com/policy/685690/big-tech-trump-military-parade-america250">report </a>from The Verge citing statements from organization planner America250 names Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), Scott's Miracle-Gro Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMG#NYSE">SMG</a>), FedEx Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) as companies that are sponsoring the America250 Foundation.
This congressionally appointed nonprofit is in charge of raising funds for the 250th anniversary next year and also logistics for the parade and festival this weekend.
"Many of these sponsors will support the upcoming grand military parade being held in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, June 14th, to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th birthday," press <a href="https://america250.org/news/america250-announces-new-sponsors-championing-historic-celebrations-and-events-as-momentum-builds-for-the-countrys-250th-anniversary/">releases </a>from America250 read.
According to The Verge, Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) was previously named a sponsor by America250 before its logo was removed from the sponsorship page. Meta offered a response to The Verge.
"While we are not currently a sponsor, we have had a historical relationship with America250, and we are actively exploring potential partnership opportunities with them in the future," a Meta spokesperson told The Verge.
Many of the companies chose not to respond to comment to The Verge in the report, but Lockheed Martin confirmed its sponsorship of America250.

</ul>
Why It's Important: The U.S. Army estimates that the cost of the parade this weekend will be between $25 million and $45 million. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll defended the costs to Congress as "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fill up our recruiting pipeline."
The parade is seen as a precursor to next year's celebration and will mainly celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the Army. The parade also takes place on Trump's birthday, which has led many to believe that it will be a celebration of the current president.
Donations to America250 for next year's event are likely being used to help fund this weekend's parade based on the wording in press releases. The question is whether companies that are donating for next year's event are aware that their money is being used for both.
The report of donations from large companies follows a similar path to the large technology and cryptocurrency companies that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42898021/google-donates-1-million-to-trump-inauguration-plans-youtube-livestream-pleased-to-support">helped fund </a>Trump's inauguration. Some of the donations were made by companies that may have been looking to get favors or win political favor with Trump.
Companies helping fund the military parade and birthday celebration could be doing the same.

What Analysts Are Saying About Element Solutions Stock

In the current market session, Mission Produce Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVO#NASDAQ">AVO</a>) stock price is at $11.84, after a 2.47% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 13.78%, and in the past year, by 20.20%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Comparing Mission Produce P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Mission Produce has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 37.95 of the Food Products industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749844851_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

How Do Investors Really Feel About AT&T?

The IT services sector continues to offer stable growth and investment opportunities thanks to ongoing digital transformation projects across the globe. The industry is also protected to a degree due to its value model built on technical expertise.&nbsp;
As a result, the outsourced IT services market stands at $573 billion globally and, with an 8% annual growth rate, is on track to nearly double by 2031, according to analysis from <a href="https://www.bairdcapital.com/sector-focus/our-outsourced-it-services-investment-thesis/">Baird Capital</a>.&nbsp;
The sector is also a significant lever for growth and employment in India, the world&rsquo;s most populous country, with revenue expected to pass $300 billion in 2026 and to add 126,000 jobs on a net basis according to a Reuters report citing <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/india/indian-tech-sector-seen-growing-51-fy25-nasscom-says-2025-02-24/">commentary from NASSCOM</a>.&nbsp;
However, the continued evolution of AI has also given rise to Agentic AI, which has concerned investors as the evolved AI emphasizes autonomous systems capable of making decisions without human intervention, and could impact employment, among other areas.&nbsp;
Investors need to be aware of how the technology is likely to impact the IT service sector and potentially disrupt the longstanding layers of protection around revenue.&nbsp;
This is particularly true in India, where the Indian IT sector is projected to contribute around 10% of the nation&#39;s GDP.
While foreign direct investment (FDI) into India has fallen this year, the following three trends indicate that there is still plenty of room to be bullish on India&rsquo;s IT sector in 2025. Here&#39;s what investors need to know.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">AI won&#39;t take away jobs from India&#39;s 5.8 million person IT sector&nbsp;</h3>
One of the largest concerns with the rise of AI is its potential impact on jobs in India, with the IT sector being a significant employer within the Indian economy. For instance, according to a report by McKinsey, by 2030 up to 60% of jobs could be significantly altered by AI tools.
However, the rise of AI has shaped the IT labor market in ways that are contrary to what many doomsayers have expected.&nbsp;
For example, at first glance the recent news that Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) is laying off 6,000 employees grabs the headlines and could support the idea that AI will replace large swathes of the workforce.&nbsp;
However, Microsoft <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-13/microsoft-is-cutting-3-of-employees-to-reduce-management-layers">shared</a> that the figure is less than 3% of its workforce, as &quot;organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace,&rdquo; and not due to AI.&nbsp;
In fact, recent data showed that the rise of GenAI has had a limited impact on the job market so far, according to economists Anders Humlum and Emilie Vestergaard.
&ldquo;AI chatbots have had no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation,&rdquo; the authors state in their paper.
For software engineers in India, AI hasn&#39;t eliminated the need for employment, but rather changed how value is distributed internally and as a service. It is also changing the employee roles and departments most critical to company growth.&nbsp;
Employment in the IT sector will remain a pillar in India&#39;s economy, and we can expect even more investments to flow into this. The reason is, to protect future revenue and the stability of IT service companies, decision makers will need to double down on investments in people and talent.
This will include software engineer talent, data science, security, and more.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">As AI flips the software engineer service pyramid, India is in a strong position for re-skilling&nbsp;</h3>
For investors in India, the country&#39;s IT sector and the greater digital economy are clearly major economic drivers for its economy.&nbsp;
This is why attention needs to be paid to the ways that AI is changing the very fundamentals of how IT services are structured and sold. The rise of AI doesn&#39;t mean that these aren&#39;t valuable, however companies must get ahead of how it&#39;s changing the fundamental economics of the industry.&nbsp;
Most notably, it&#39;s expected to invert the traditional hierarchy based on a higher volume of junior engineers to fewer senior engineers. This pyramid is historically how IT service firms built contracts.&nbsp;
Now, with AI, this pyramid will invert on itself. The need for high volumes of junior engineers is replaced by AI which can take on simple coding tasks.&nbsp;
According to Ness CEO Dr. Ranjit Tinaikar in <a href="https://hrsea.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/workplace/from-enabling-to-disruptive-how-is-genai-impacting-company-culture-at-it-service-firms/118136981">The Economic Times</a>, a study by his company was conducted into the impacts of AI on software engineering productivity. Ness found that AI wasn&#39;t just changing the way that tasks were completed, but was actually changing the very structure of the team needed.
&quot;We used AI-enabled software engineering tools to study the impact on productivity. And we came up with four results,&quot; said Dr. Tinaikar. &quot;The first result was that senior developers get more benefits from AI than junior developers. Both of them had productivity improvements, but senior people had more value from it.&quot;&nbsp;
&quot;Now, if AI says that the senior engineers are still valuable, but the junior engineers, you will end up compressing. What happens to the pyramid of an IT services industry? It has fundamentally changed,&quot; he added.
The good news is that India is well prepared for this change, in particular due to the country&#39;s younger workforce. The reason is, according to studies younger employees are more likely to welcome training and development to prepare for the future of AI in the workplace. For instance, <a href="https://www.deloitte.com/global/en/issues/work/genz-millennial-survey.html">three-quarters of Gen Zs</a> (74%) and millennials (77%) believe GenAI will impact the way they work within the next year.&nbsp;
Today 52%, or more than half, of India&rsquo;s population is under the age of 30.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The India Corridor will flourish with so many engineers in the country</h3>
A trend worth noting is the India Corridor, in which India&#39;s engineering talent found companies abroad, including in Silicon Valley, while maintaining large development teams in India and further supporting the nation&#39;s IT sector.&nbsp;
Harbir Kaur Bhatia, CEO of the Silicon Valley Central Chamber of Commerce, <a href="https://www.peoplematters.in/news/business/indian-talent-crucial-for-americas-tech-industry-silicon-valley-chamber-chief-41168">noted</a>, &ldquo;Indians are one of the largest leaders of innovation in Silicon Valley. At one point, the data showed 40 per cent of Silicon Valley CEOs or founders were from South Asia or India.&quot;&nbsp;
Further, a third of top graduates from the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology move abroad to continue their professional careers. These represent high-quality graduates who hold engineering skills in high demand with companies globally.&nbsp;
Rather than being a typical brain drain, this export of tech talent is acting as a way to strengthen diplomatic ties, send resources back to invest in India&rsquo;s IT sector, and also to nurture the country&rsquo;s homegrown tech scene.&nbsp;
With increasing tension between China and the U.S., India&#39;s IT sector looks set to benefit. Said Frank-J&uuml;rgen Richter, Chairman of Horasis, <a href="https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2024/09/15/india-greece-relations-take-center-stage-ahead-of-horasis-meeting-in-athens/">in an interview</a>, &ldquo;India is also making significant strides diplomatically, with new think tanks and institutions positioning the country as a major player on the international stage. However, India distinguishes itself by not positioning itself as a counterpart. Instead, it follows a non-alignment philosophy, striving to maintain good relations with all nations. This approach, along with India&#39;s democratic governance, is a significant advantage.&rdquo;
We should expect to see increased investments from US business and venture capitalists into the country&#39;s tech sector.
When it comes to the India Corridor, Rajat Mishra, CEO of business communication platform Prezent, which recently closed a <a href="https://www.prezent.ai/blog/prezent-ai-raises-20m-to-transform-enterprise-communication">$20M funding round</a>, offers an example of the cyclical benefits that could come from India&#39;s tech talent migrating.
Founded in 2021 in Los Altos, his company also has a team in Bengaluru employing local talent.&nbsp;This is part of a wider trend of interest in Bengaluru, also known as India&#39;s Silicon Valley, where Google is <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-21/google-india-ai-hiring-boom-comes-with-silicon-valley-office-benefits">investing heavily in office perks and infrastructure</a>.&nbsp;
For investors, the strength of India&#39;s tech labor market and the influence of the India corridor are noteworthy.&nbsp;
Today, India has the fastest-growing developer community and it is projected to become the world&rsquo;s largest by 2027.
However, the strength of India&#39;s deep tech talent pool isn&#39;t just about the scale of numbers. As AI tools like CoPilot continue to develop, this is fundamentally changing the productivity of software engineers and how teams collaborate and operate.&nbsp;
India is well positioned for this.
As the country prepares to see growth for its tech sector, getting ahead of AI&#39;s role in the IT services industry will be key to the future, helping unlock new opportunities.

Three Signs That Investments In India's IT Sector Will Pay Off In An AI-First Future

Energy stocks, with BP PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) among the leaders, are trading higher Friday as crude oil prices head for their strongest weekly rally since <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45924154/the-120-oil-shock-just-became-a-real-risk-are-we-back-in-2022">October 2022</a>. The surge is a direct market reaction to escalating geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East, where fears of a major supply crunch are growing.
What To Know: The catalyst was a series of major Israeli airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure, which also reportedly killed top military officials. This aggressive military action has reignited fears of a broader conflict that could threaten vital oil flows throughout the region. 
Traders are particularly concerned about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45922022/trump-issues-stark-warning-to-iran-to-make-a-deal-after-israels-strikes-on-nuclear-sites-just-do-it-before-its-too-late">potential disruptions</a> to the Strait of Hormuz, a maritime chokepoint that handles nearly one-third of all global seaborne crude shipments. Iran is a significant producer, pumping 3.3 million barrels per day.

The threat has sent crude prices soaring. West Texas Intermediate futures are on track for a weekly gain of nearly 13%. Some analysts believe prices could climb much higher if the conflict escalates. 
ING analyst Warren Patterson <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45924154/the-120-oil-shock-just-became-a-real-risk-are-we-back-in-2022">suggested</a> a serious disruption could push oil to $120 per barrel. This bullish sentiment for crude has directly lifted the valuations of major oil producers.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, shares of BP were trading up 2.57% at $31.72 late Friday.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy BP Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in BP&#8217;s case, it is in the Energy sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, BP has a 52-week high of $37.39 and a 52-week low of $25.22.
