In today's episode of The Daily Brief, we cover 3 major stories shaping the Indian economy and global markets:

1. Intel’s Fall from Grace
Intel, once the king of semiconductors, is now struggling to stay relevant. Strategic missteps, missing the smartphone boom, and falling behind in AI and chip manufacturing have left it vulnerable. Now, competitors are circling, and the future of this tech giant looks uncertain.

2. Climate Change’s Economic Impact
Extreme weather is hitting economies hard, with droughts causing lasting damage. Central banks are now treating climate change as a financial risk, as rising insurance costs and inflation disrupt global markets. India, in particular, faces food inflation and economic slowdown due to climate shifts.

3. Trump’s Tariffs and India’s Steel & Aluminium
Trump’s new 25% tariff on steel and aluminium could shake global trade. While India’s direct exports to the U.S. are limited, the ripple effects could impact domestic steelmakers facing cheap Chinese imports. Meanwhile, Indian aluminium exporters will feel the pinch, but cost advantages may soften the blow.
