India is developing a comprehensive global trade data intelligence system, Global Trade Watch, to navigate increasing trade volatility. This initiative, led by the commerce ministry, aims to provide real-time insights and early warnings about emerging trade challenges. Inspired by similar systems in the US, EU, and China, it will compile data from various ministries to monitor specific sector performances across goods and services, aiding in strategic export decision-making to mitigate conflicts, tariff wars, and export barriers.

This action is likely to disrupt Pakistan's pharmaceutical, chemical, and food sectors, heavily reliant on Indian inputs. Informal trade through third countries might also face challenges due to increased scrutiny. The trade relationship has been declining since 2019, with India exporting goods worth $447.65 million to Pakistan in FY24-25 while imports were minimal.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Jessica Rosenworcel has proposed new rules to protect domestic abuse survivors from being stalked through their cars' location tracking systems. The notice of proposed rulemaking seeks input on the Safe Connections Act and how it can be used to address the issue of connected car services being used for abuse. The move reflects the growing concern over the misuse of GPS tracking features, with instances of survivors being tracked by abusive partners in internet-connected cars. Last month, Rosenworcel wrote letters to leading automakers and mobile service providers, asking about their policies on geolocation data and support for survivors. Congress is also taking an interest in the issue, as Senator Ed Markey urges the Federal Trade Commission to investigate automakers' data privacy practices.
