Trump, Modi Discuss Middle East; Musk Joins Call
On March 28, it was learned on March 27 local time that American entrepreneur Elon Musk also participated when U.S. President Trump spoke with Indian Prime Minister Modi about the Middle East situation. It is uncommon for a private entrepreneur without any official position to participate in a call between national leaders, especially when the call involves national security issues. It is understood that the call primarily focused on the escalating situation in the Middle East, with a particular emphasis on Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is a critical passage for global oil and gas transportation, and the current shipping disruptions have led to rising energy prices and impacted global markets. It remains unclear why Musk participated in this call or if he spoke during it. It is reported that Musk has investments in Middle Eastern countries and is also seeking to expand his business presence in the Indian market. (CCTV News)

BUZZ - Goldman Sachs says the price cap on cancer drugs has limited impact on Indian hospitals
October 9 – Goldman Sachs pointed out that India's implementation of a 30% profit margin cap on non-scheduled anticancer drugs (link) will have limited impact on hospitals. The report states that, based on preliminary discussions with hospital chain groups, such drugs account for less than 5% of hospital revenue and 2% to 2.5% of operating profit. The report adds that hospitals can offset the losses by slightly adjusting service charges, such as administration fees. According to a government notice, an expert committee will finalize the list of drugs to be brought under regulation. Driven by the anticipated price cap, the share prices of Max Healthcare MAXE.NS, Apollo Hospitals APLH.NS, and Fortis Healthcare FOHE.NS rose by 1.6% to 2.5%. Previously, since September 30, these stocks had collectively declined by 11% to 11.5%. Year-to-date, FOHE and MAXE are down 11.7% and 14.8%, respectively, while APLH has risen by 11%.
