Breaking news is a term used to describe timely and significant events that are typically unexpected or unforeseen. These events often have a major impact on people's lives and can be either positive or negative in nature. Breaking news stories are typically covered by the mainstream media as they unfold, giving the public access to information in real-time. While breaking news can refer to any type of event, it is most commonly used in relation to catastrophic events such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or political disasters. In these situations, the need for accurate and up-to-the-minute information is paramount. Traditional news outlets such as television, radio, and print media are typically the first to report on breaking news stories as they happen. However, in recent years social media has become an increasingly important source of information for people looking for the latest updates on current events.

Indian stock markets opened on a strong note Thursday, tracking positive global cues after a major US court ruling and upbeat earnings from US tech giant Nvidia. The Nifty 50 index opened at 24,825.10, gaining 72.65 points or 0.29 per cent, while the BSE Sensex rose by 278.71 points to start at 81,591.03, marking an increase of 0.34 per cent. Market experts attributed the buoyant start to a significant decision by the US Court of International Trade in New York, which late on Wednesday invalidated the Trump-era tariffs in a twin judgement. The court ruled that former President Donald Trump had wrongfully invoked emergency powers to impose the tariffs, asserting that such authority lies with the US Congress, not the Executive branch. The Trump Administration has announced plans to appeal the verdict in the Federal Appeals Court and may escalate the case to the US Supreme Court if needed.

After a federal court of the United States struck down a reciprocal tariff announced by US President Donald Trump, the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said that India should proceed cautiously in its ongoing Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations with the US. A Manhattan-based federal court on May 28 struck down Trump's move to impose reciprocal tariffs on the trading partners of the US and ruled that he can't use emergency power to impose tariffs on foreign countries; it has to come from Congress. The order of the court determined that the tariffs, including those introduced under emergency economic powers, were unlawful. Analysing the impact of the ruling on Trade negotiations, Ajay Srivastava, founder of GTRI, said that India should resist any agreement shaped by threats or based on unlawful measures. Srivastava said that Trump-era tariffs violate World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules as well as the domestic laws of the US as confirmed by the federal court.
