Any claims that the planned capacity of the site has been delayed are inaccurate.Market sources say Apple (AAPL.O) currently manufactures about 25% of its iPhones in India.March 10th - According to foreign media reports, both Goldman Sachs and Barclays have warned that continued oil price increases could push up overall inflation. Goldman Sachs estimates that a sustained 10% rise in oil prices could increase the CPI by approximately 0.28 percentage points. In one scenario, if oil prices rise by about $10 and remain high for three months, the US inflation rate could rise from 2.4% to about 3%. Barclays believes that oil prices approaching $100 per barrel will push up overall inflation, primarily through gasoline prices. Based on its baseline outlook, it expects overall US inflation to be around 2.7% year-on-year, and core inflation to be around 2.8%, assuming oil prices do not remain high for an extended period. If oil prices continue to approach $100 per barrel, it could push the inflation rate towards 3% and potentially delay expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut.March 10th - According to the Ministry of Water Resources, as of 10:00 AM on March 9th, the Yellow River had thawed for a total of 379.3 kilometers.
