global demand for personal computers and electronics fell sharply.

Lenovo of China said its total revenue had tumbled by 24 per cent to $15.3 billion in the three months to December compared with the same period in 2021. Net income attributable to equity holders plunged 32% to $437 million.

The company specialises in consumer electronics, personal computers and software. The pandemic boosted sales significantly for Lenovo and its peers as many people worked remotely and decided to replace or upgrade their equipment. However, sales of new computers then collapsed.

Yang Yuanqing, 58, Lenovo’s chief executive, said the entire PC and mobile market had experienced a «severe downturn» in the last quarter and planned to improve its efficiency.

    Of course this was bound to happen considering the huge boom the industry had just a few years ago. 24% is bad but if we look at how much Lenovo has grown in the last 3 years, then it doesn't seem this bad.

      I don't like Lenovo. They make cheap laptops that some people buy because of their price, but when it comes to quality, Lenovo doesn't even come close to companies like Asus or Apple.

US FED rate rise.

  The US Federal Reserve officials have indicated that they plan to resume increasing interest rates to control inflation in the world's biggest economy. During the June meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee reached a consensus to keep interest rates stable for the time being to evaluate whether further tightening of policy would be necessary. However, the majority of the committee anticipates that additional rate increases will be required in the future. The minutes of the meeting have recently been made public. According to the minutes, most participants believed maintaining the federal funds rate at 5 to 5.25 per cent was appropriate or acceptable, despite some individuals wanting to raise the acceleration due to slow progress in cooling inflation. Although Fed forecasts predicted a mild recession starting later in the year, policymakers faced challenges in interpreting data that showed a tight job market and only slight improvements in inflation.

India- UK trade deal.

  According to India's top trade official, talks with the UK regarding a trade agreement are progressing well, despite obstacles related to temporary work visas and the opening up industries like automotive and spirits.

If a trade deal is reached, it would be one of the most significant agreements for Britain since leaving the EU, and it would also be necessary for India, which surpassed the UK as the fifth-largest economy last year.

According to officials and diplomats in India, talks about a proposed trade deal may be finished by early September, just in time for the G20 summit in New Delhi. Nigel Hu...

EU business slide.

  S&P Global’s flash eurozone composite purchasing managers’ index, a key gauge of business conditions for the manufacturing and services sector, fell 1 point to 47.1, figures showed yesterday. That is its lowest level since November 2020 and the fourth consecutive month below the crucial 50 mark separating growth from contraction. One of the few bright spots in the survey was that companies in all sectors reported a slight easing of cost pressures, price growth and supply chain constraints. However, prices charged for goods and services still rose at the sixth fastest rate since such data started in 2002. Jobs growth increased marginally from October but remained low compared with the past 18 months. Following a few months of falling price pressure in manufacturing and services, the October print shows an overall stabilisation said Jens Eisenschmidt, chief European economist at Morgan Stanley. However, German businesses, at the hub of Europe’s energy crisis, reported that manu...
