Investors who applied for the Juniper Green Energy IPO are expected to receive their allotment status today, August 4, as the company is likely to finalize the share allocation for its Rs 1,800 crore public issue. Once the allotment is completed, applicants can check whether they have received shares through the IPO registrar KFin Technologies or on the websites of the BSE and NSE.

However, investors should note that the grey market is unofficial, and GMP is only a sentiment indicator. It can change significantly before the stock lists on the exchanges.

Some older Ford cars and SUVs pose “unreasonable” ​safety risks, according to federal regulators, warning that the timing belt may fail, causing them to lose ‌power or engines to seize.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on Monday that it has upgraded a defect investigation into 135,551 Ford vehicles from model years between 2014 and 2021 that are powered by the small 1.0L turbocharged three-cylinder engine due to an “unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.”

The three affected models, the Fiesta, Focus and EcoSport, have all been discontinued by Ford.

The NHTSA said it ​was aware of 355 incidents alleging a low engine oil pressure warning light ​appeared just before a complete loss or reduction of motive power while driving.

FORD RECALLS NEARLY 388,000 VEHICLES OVER SECOND-ROW SEAT INJURY HAZARD

NHTSA said its initial investigation revealed timing belt material may degrade and create debris that clogs the mesh oil pump pick-up screen, causing reduced engine oil pressure.

The probe suggests failures can happen without sufficient warning and loss of power or engine seizure is imminent. Failures have been reported despite proper and routine oil maintenance, the NHTSA said.

“Based on NHTSA’s analysis ​of the data, failure rates, information provided by Ford, preliminary engine teardown analysis, and precedent recalls ​regarding loss of engine oil pressure with the presence of driver facing warnings, (the agency) believes there is an ‌unreasonable ⁠risk to motor vehicle safety,” the NHTSA said.

FORD RECALLS MORE THAN 110,000 MUSTANG VEHICLES OVER WINDSHIELD WIPER, DRIVETRAIN DEFECTS

NHTSA’s decision to upgrade the probe to an engineering analysis is a required step before it could force the automaker to issue a recall.

Some drivers reported engine failures that cost thousands of dollars to fix.

One 2017 Ford Focus driver reported being on a highway in Wilmington, Delaware, when the oil pressure light illuminated and within an eighth of a mile, ​the vehicle “lost ​all power and the ⁠engine began to sound like a tank.”

Data showed an average failure mileage of roughly ​70,000 miles, and 98% of the failures happened before ​the 150,000-mile suggested ⁠timing belt replacement, the NHTSA said.

In June, Ford told the safety regulator it was adopting a non-safety customer satisfaction program for global vehicles with a 1.0L Fox Classic Timing Belt, cutting the maintenance interval to 100,000 ⁠miles or ​six years.

Ford is offering reimbursement to eligible customers who ​previously purchased engine repairs or replacements due to a timing belt-related issue, the NHTSA said, although it was not immediately clear which ​vehicles are covered by the customer satisfaction program.

President Donald Trump lashed out at the U.S. oil industry on Monday, arguing that the country’s largest companies should give some of their sharply higher profits to the American public.

“I don’t like it,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked about the huge earnings reported by ExxonMobil and Chevron last week during the war with Iran.

“They’re making too much money, okay, based on a shortage,” he continued. 

“I don’t like it, and I should be the last one to say it because I’m a big free enterprise guy,” he said before adding: “Nobody bigger.” 

ExxonMobil had reported earning $14.5 billion in the second quarter of 2026 — double what it made during the same period last year.

FORGET GASOLINE: THIS OVERLOOKED FUEL COULD RAISE THE PRICE OF NEARLY EVERYTHING YOU BUY

Chevron pulled in $12 billion, posting its highest quarterly earnings in at least six years, according to Reuters.

“Chevron, too much money. ExxonMobil, too much. Too much money,” Trump continued.

“When you look at one company where they made 12 times what they made the year before, they ought to give some of that back to the public, and they better cut the retail price, the consumer price,” Trump added.

“I’ll say it loud and clear. I’m not happy about it,” Trump said before stating that gasoline prices would “drop through the floor” when the war with Iran ended.

AAA NATIONAL GAS PRICE TOPS $4 AMID RENEWED US STRIKES ON IRAN

The two sets of earnings came as the Iran war pushed oil prices above $100 a barrel at times.

Oil prices fell again Monday as signs emerged that U.S.-Iran tensions were easing, Reuters reported.

“The sharp drop in oil prices, due to Trump’s cancellation of severe attacks against Iran and hopes of a diplomatic resolution, set the ball rolling this morning,” Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York, told Reuters.

Earlier Monday, Trump also criticized Chevron CEO Mike Wirth for not crediting Washington’s efforts to help the oil industry.

The comments came after Wirth’s appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.”

“The only thing he conveniently forgot to mention is that, without the genius, foresight, strength, and stability of the TRUMP Administration, the Oil Industry, and our Country itself, would be DEAD!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

“As an example, they threw Mike and Chevron out of Venezuela, but now they’re back, far bigger and stronger than ever before, expecting to make a fortune!” he added.

Homeowners associations (HOAs) across the nation are reportedly taking a tougher stance on unpaid dues, pursuing foreclosure against more homeowners as communities grapple with mounting financial pressures.

Real estate experts say the aggressive collection efforts are being driven by rising operating costs, shrinking reserve funds and concerns that unpaid assessments could leave associations unable to cover essential expenses. 

According to real estate analytics firm ATTOM, HOA-related foreclosures jumped nearly 40% compared with two years earlier, The Wall Street Journal reported. The report also found HOA foreclosures are rising faster than overall mortgage foreclosure rates.

“HOAs are being forced into more aggressive collections to avoid their own financial collapse,” Brian Fox, co-founder of real estate technology firm Benutech, which tracks HOA delinquency trends and foreclosures, told WSJ.

AVERAGE MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENT HITS NEW HIGH, TOPPING $2K FOR FIRST TIME EVER

HOAs typically rely on monthly or annual dues from residents to fund maintenance, repairs, insurance, landscaping and other community services. But as some homeowners struggle with higher living costs and mounting expenses, more associations are facing a rise in delinquent accounts. 

Rather than offering extended grace periods, some associations are moving delinquent accounts to attorneys more quickly or filing liens against homeowners who fall behind on assessments. 

The crackdown is affecting communities ranging from suburban condominium complexes to luxury neighborhoods, according to the report. 

CALIFORNIA BUILT MORE HOMES THAN PEOPLE OVER SIX YEARS – SO WHY IS HOUSING STILL SO TIGHT?

Benutech Data Insights found that homeowner associations have filed a sharp increase in liens, which are legal claims placed on a property when a homeowner falls behind on assessments, fees or fines. In many states, unpaid liens can eventually lead to foreclosure.

In 2025, HOAs reportedly filed 284,933 liens against homeowners, roughly one every 90 seconds. That figure represents an 8.6% increase from 2024, according to property records compiled by Benutech Data Insights. 

Financial strain has also intensified within homeowner associations themselves. 

A late-2025 report by Reserve Study found that nearly three-quarters of association-governed communities are underfunded. Specifically, 74% of associations were less than 70% funded, meaning they may not have sufficient reserve savings to pay for expected repairs and capital projects. 

At the same time, HOAs have been hit with rising costs for staffing, landscaping, maintenance and building materials.

Insurance has become one of the biggest cost drivers. 

According to the Foundation for Community Association Research, 93% of surveyed associations reported increases in property and casualty insurance premiums. 

More than half those premiums rose between 11% and 25%, while about 10% reported increases exceeding 100%, adding further pressure on HOA budgets and increasing the need to collect assessments from homeowners on time.
