On September 6th, local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with visiting US Presidential Envoys Witkov and Jared Kushner on the evening of September 5th. The talks lasted approximately three hours. Putin stated that Russia had received a request through its intelligence and diplomatic departments to "cease airstrikes on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv," and that he had issued orders to halt Russian airstrikes on Kyiv. Putin also mentioned that Ukraine had significantly reduced its attacks on Russian territory (including Moscow). Putin further noted that Ukraine had proposed a broader three-day ceasefire, which Russia had not agreed to. However, Russia will make every effort to ensure the progress of US-Ukraine negotiations and the safety of negotiators. Earlier that day, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Putin had ordered a three-day halt to airstrikes on Kyiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy subsequently announced a decision to cease attacks on Moscow immediately until September 7th.According to Al Jazeera: Israeli forces attacked the outskirts of the town of Rafid in southern Syria.Russian Presidential Aide Dmitriev: (Regarding the US Special Envoys visit to Moscow) An important peace mediation visit.On September 6th, German startup Isar Aerospaces "Spectrum" rocket lifted off from a launch site in Norway, aiming to complete the companys first commercial space mission to reach orbit from the European continent. The rocket, carrying a payload including five small satellites, entered orbit approximately four minutes after liftoff. This was Isars second launch attempt this year, following multiple delays due to weather, technical issues, and interference from an out-of-control vessel. The 28-meter-tall rocket can deliver a 1,000-kilogram payload to low Earth orbit, significantly smaller than SpaceXs rockets. Isar CEO Daniel Metzler, speaking at the companys €270 million ($313 million) funding round earlier this year, stated that the rockets size helps in placing satellites into specific orbits and differentiates it from SpaceXs offerings.Official footage shows that Isars unmanned space rocket has been launched from its base in Norway.

Nissan Shares Increase Following A Restructuring of The Renault Alliance

Tuesday morning in Tokyo, shares of Nissan (OTC:NSANY) Motor Corp soared as the Japanese automaker and its French partner Renault SA (OTC:RNLSY) announced a comprehensive revamp of their two-decade-old partnership placing them on equal footing.


In early trading, Nissan's stock rose as high as 3.1% before giving back gains. At 02:08 GMT, they were up 2%, surpassing the Nikkei 225 average, which was in the red.


In accordance with the agreement announced on Monday, Nissan and Renault (EPA:RENA) will now hold 15% shares in each other, and Nissan's holding will include voting rights. Previously, Renault owned approximately 43 percent of the Japanese automaker, while Nissan had no voting rights.


Nissan executives had long been dissatisfied with the unbalanced character of the cooperation.


Following Monday's announcement, Masayuki Kubota, chief strategist at Rakuten Securities, told Reuters, "The normalization of the capital relationship will increase Nissan's management freedom, making it easier for the company to adopt a strategy that focuses on the United States, China, and emerging markets."


Renault placed approximately 28% of the Japanese manufacturer in a French trust as part of the transaction, which includes a lock-up that prohibits share sales for a specified time period and a standstill obligation that imposes additional restrictions on stock transactions.


The restructure addresses past issues with shareholder governance, as Nissan was unable to use its voting rights, according to a note by Nomura analyst Masataka Kunugimoto.


"A connection in which both firms have equal voting rights of 15% in the other company should significantly decrease governance difficulties," stated Kunugimoto. Overall, we anticipate that this statement will result in a reevaluation of Nissan's stock price.


Nomura has a "buy" rating and a price target of 750 JPY on the stock, significantly above Tuesday's high of 468.1 yen.


Nissan's stock has declined by around 23% over the previous three years, trailing industry leader Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) Corp by 24% and Renault by 4%.


Monday's closing price for Renault shares was 4% lower after the agreement was announced.
