The Indian stock market has recently demonstrated remarkable resilience, exhibiting a bounce back from periods of consolidation led by uncertainty by economic slowdown and premium valuations. This recovery is a testament to the market's inherent strength. One of the catalysts for the recent market relief has been the easing of geopolitical tensions. The reduction in conflicts, particularly in the Middle East, has led to a significant decline in Brent crude prices to the year’s threshold level of $70. This decrease in oil prices is a boon for Indian fiscal and companies, as it helps improve their operating metrics by reducing input costs. Tactically, a small recovery in the trend of FII net inflow from heavy sellers in the months of October & November to a small buyer in December has become a blessing for the domestic market . The MSCI rebalancing has played a pivotal role in attracting foreign investments, providing a much-needed boost to the domestic market. Expectations of stable government spending in the second half of FY25 and stronger central govt have further bolstered market confidence. Investors are optimistic that continued government expenditure will support economic growth and infrastructure development. Henceforth, earnings are expected to foresee a QoQ growth compared to the fall in Q1 & Q2, FY25. With optimism the Investors are closely monitoring US inflation indicators, which will influence central bank’s policy rates in December. Global economic trends and policy decisions will continue to influence the Indian market. FED Chair speech and recent minutes, which show confidence in the easing of inflation, could sway market sentiments positively. Although the effects of US policies under the new administration remain uncertain, the minutes suggest a probable continuation of the rate easing cycle. The stability of the market will largely depend on the steadiness of incoming economic data, which expect a cut in December this month followed by 100 to 150 bps cut in 2025. The domestic rally has been broad-based, but growth and capex-linked sectors such as reality, consumer durables, metals, infrastructure, capital goods, and manufacturing are outperforming. These sectors have benefited from the anticipation of a surge in new order inflows, driven by increased GoI spending and private sector investments. The positive performance of these sectors underscores the market's confidence in the long-term growth prospects of the Indian economy. In India, the Monetary Policy Committee ( MPC ) has maintained its current stance and revised the GDP growth forecast downward, as expected acknowledging the recent slowdown. The market well accepted the cut which was not below the 6.5%. Inflation is expected to persist in Q3FY25 but should ease in Q4FY25 due to seasonal corrections and agricultural outputs. Despite these challenges, the Indian economy remains strong, capable of achieving sustainable growth and stable inflation in the medium term. The RBI has committed to policy support if the slowdown continues and has reduced the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) by 50bps to 4%, injecting ₹ 1.16 lakh cr into the banking system to enhance liquidity and support credit growth, which is positive for banks and rate sensitives like reality & durables. To sum up, the Indian market's recent performance highlights its resilience and potential for growth. The easing of geopolitical tensions, positive earnings prospects, and supportive policy expectations have collectively bolstered investor confidence. As the market navigates through economic challenges and anticipates key domestic and global policy decisions, the outlook remains cautiously optimistic. Investors are advised to stay informed and adopt a diversified approach to capitalize on the evolving market dynamics with a multi cap approach and sectors like IT, Pharma, Textiles, renewables, FMCG and manufacturing.777.gbt.com 。

Dr Manmohan Singh was one of those rare people who achieved greatness by dint of hard work and merit, and then found grander greatness thrust upon him. He became the Prime Minister, because the then Congress president, Sonia Gandhi , needed someone trustworthy and capable to occupy the position that was rightfully hers as leader of the majority group after the 2004 general elections but she deemed politic to renounce, for assorted reasons. He thus did not have direct authority from the people, but enjoyed delegated authority, granted by the political party that had won the largest number of seats.

This is naive. Narasimha Rao brought in Singh as his finance minister, true. But reform is a political task, not a technocratic one. Rao might have had some margin for shifting blame to a finance minister, in case reform turned politically too hot to handle, but there was no way he could have escaped responsibility for whatever policies his government pursued. Prime ministers are the authors of large systemic changes, not finance ministers, finance secretaries, economic advisers or anyone else. They are the ones accountable to the people.

This he did by doggedly pursuing the nuclear deal with the US. President George W Bush had clarity that India was the only power in Asia that could possibly countervail a rising China, and wanted to free India from the technology denial regime into which post-nuclear test sanctions had caged India. Within the political class, few understood the significance of the nuclear deal beyond its potential to ease supplies of uranium for nuclear power plants. Singh had clarity that India needed the deal to end technology denial and be free to acquire the strategic capability it needed to emerge a significant power. Within the political class, only the Congress supported the deal. The BJP vehemently opposed the deal. When the Left withdrew support, and the continuance of the government came into question, most Congressmen, too, were willing to abandon the deal. Only Singh defended the deal stoutly. To her credit, Sonia Gandhi chose to back him. Then, the Congress machinery got to work and got the numbers to sail through the vote of no confidence. India became a quasi-member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. It joined the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Wassenaar Arrangement on dual technologies and the Australia Group on chemical weapons and precursor chemicals. Large US companies like Boeing felt confident to invest in India and accept Indian companies as partners. Strategic cooperation with the US began, in the wake of the nuclear deal. By having clarity on what was at stake, and choosing to exercise his delegated authority to the hilt, Singh got the nuclear deal through, and opened the door to India's rise as a major power centre.

Furious Cucurella changes cleats after slipping twice to concede early goals, then helps Chelsea winMichael Cole , who starred as Pete Cochran on the hit counterculture drama Mod Squad and later played Harlan Barrett on General Hospital during a 50-year acting career, has died. He was 84. His reps at BMF announced the news, but did not provide details. Born July 3, 1940 in Madison WI, Cole was one of the three young hippies-turned-cops alongside Julie ( Peggy Lipton ) and Link ( Clarence Williams III ) in Mod Squad , which debuted in September 1968 on ABC. “One White, One Black, One Blonde” read the promo materials for the series, which was aimed at a youthful audience during a turbulent time. The trio was given a choice: fight crime or be sent to jail themselves. They chose the former, under the tutelage of Capt. Adam Greer (Tige Andrews). Executive produced by Aaron Spelling and Danny Thomas, Mod Squad tapped into the zeitgeist of the late ’60s, portraying a positive image for the counterculture of the moment by tackling such issues as the Vietnam war, racism and social justice. Linc, Julie and Pete blended into the scene, using stealth to track and capture their targets. It aired for five seasons through May 1973. Cole continued to work steadily in TV and film, making guest appearances on shows and exploring roles in theater. He had an arc for several months on General Hospital in 1991, playing Harlan Barrett, the crooked chief engineer for Barrett Industries who hooks up with a cartel and is hired to kill Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers). Instead, he is shot dead by Bill Eckert (Anthony Geary), who was protesting his friend Scorpio. He also guest-starred in dozens of television series throughout his career, including ER, 7th Heaven, Diagnosis Murder, Murder She Wrote, CHiPs, Fantasy Island, The Love Boat and Gunsmoke, which was first major television credit in 1966. His film work included 2007’s Mr. Brooks and 2000’s The Apostate , among others. DEADLINE RELATED VIDEO Though his career spanned decades, he remained humble about his achievements, often expressing gratitude for the opportunities he had and the fans who supported him. In 2009, Cole published his memoir, I Played the White Guy , a candid and heartfelt account of his experiences in Hollywood and his personal journey, offering readers an intimate look into his life and career.

My husband and I have opposite organizational styles. I learned the hard way that pressuring him to change wouldn't work. A home remodel forced us to face the clutter, and now, we communicate much better. I consider myself a pseudo-minimalist . I don't buy knickknacks when traveling, fill my home with extra furniture, or stock up on pantry, beauty, or toiletry supplies. I like having dresser drawers that close easily and bookshelves I can pull a novel from without four others toppling onto my head. Now imagine the opposite of my personality in the clutter department, and you have my husband. He's a collector . He's a saver of the socks I would throw out because they're starting to get a small hole, of the hockey gear that goes unused, of extra dinnerware we don't have room for. So what are these two personalities doing living under one roof? Well, we love each other. And people do crazy things for love. The difference between how we dealt with clutter took a toll When we married and moved in together, the problem revealed itself in full. We had very different ways of organizing and even thinking about the items we bring — and keep — in our home. I felt suffocated and panicked at the stacks, bags, and boxes of his things. My attempts to purge items didn't go well. I didn't know how to be kind in my panic, and he didn't want things to change. Living with so much clutter affected my mental health. I felt the pressure of organizing so many things. It seemed impossible to make stuffed spaces look nice. Rooms felt cramped, every storage area overflowed, and our fights over the subject became caustic. I knew it was time for a different approach. He had emotional attachments to things that I didn't understand, but it didn't mean I was right in demanding that they go. Health and wellness consultant Michelle Porter told Business Insider, "Studies show that cluttered spaces elevate cortisol levels, the body's stress hormone. For all household members, this can mean heightened irritability, difficulty focusing, and a reduced ability to relax." In short, our stuff affects our health, and I needed to reduce our load. Biopsychologist Mary Poffenroth explains why organizing shared spaces can be so difficult. "What one partner thinks is necessary organization, the other partner may see as a threat to their emotional safety and well-being." A remodel meant it was time for a new approach During our recent kitchen remodel , I saw that even with the additional space provided by the new cabinetry, it still wasn't enough for all the appliances and dishes he owned. I suggested we only keep what would fit into the new space. To my surprise and delight, he agreed. This made the getting-rid-of-things talks that followed easier because we'd both consented beforehand. Related stories At the end of the remodel, we donated several boxes. I felt empowered. High on the win, we implemented this same tactic in other areas by creating a "one in, one out" rule. If a new shirt comes into the house, he donates one. The same goes for other clothing items. And now, when he wants to buy a new appliance, he considers first if we have a space for it. We now have a new way of talking about clutter For items going unused, it takes a little more patience. I'll bring up the item I'd like to discuss and the fact that it seems we don't really need it. I use the word "seem" specifically so he can correct me if he is using it and I'm wrong. He usually replies with how he's hoping to use the item soon and we agree to a timeline. Then, if it's not used at least an agreed-upon number of times over the next year, we'll sell or donate it. Nowadays, our space is much more comfortable for me than when we first married. Decluttering our space will be an ongoing process as life and needs change, but we've learned how to talk through the "stuff" in a way that works for us both, and that's the real success story.The American Legion Mourns Passing of President Carter

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes drifted lower Tuesday in the runup to the highlight of the week for the market, the latest update on inflation that’s coming on Wednesday. The S&P 500 dipped 0.3%, a day after pulling back from its latest all-time high . They’re the first back-to-back losses for the index in nearly a month, as momentum slows following a big rally that has it on track for one of its best years of the millennium . The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 154 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.3%. Tech titan Oracle dragged on the market and sank 6.7% after reporting growth for the latest quarter that fell just short of analysts’ expectations. It was one of the heaviest weights on the S&P 500, even though CEO Safra Catz said the company saw record demand related to artificial-intelligence technology for its cloud infrastructure business, which trains generative AI models. AI has been a big source of growth that’s helped many companies’ stock prices skyrocket. Oracle’s stock had already leaped more than 80% for the year coming into Tuesday, which raised the bar of expectations for its profit report. In the bond market, Treasury yields ticked higher ahead of Wednesday’s report on the inflation that U.S. consumers are feeling. Economists expect it to show similar increases as the month before. Wednesday’s update and a report on Thursday about inflation at the wholesale level will be the final big pieces of data the Federal Reserve will get before its meeting next week, where many investors expect the year’s third cut to interest rates . The Fed has been easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high since September to take pressure off the slowing jobs market, after bringing inflation nearly down to its 2% target. Lower rates would help give support to the economy, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. Expectations for a series of cuts through next year have been a big reason the S&P 500 has set so many records this year. Trading in the options market suggests traders aren’t expecting a very big move for U.S. stocks following Wednesday’s report, according to strategists at Barclays. But a reading far off expectations in either direction could quickly change that. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.22% from 4.20% late Monday. Even though the Fed has been cutting its main interest rate, mortgage rates have been more stubborn to stay high and have been volatile since the autumn. That has hampered the housing industry, and homebuilder Toll Brothers’ stock fell 6.9% even though it delivered profit and revenue for the latest quarter that topped analysts’ expectations. CEO Douglas Yearley Jr. said the luxury builder has been seeing strong demand since the start of its fiscal year six weeks ago, an encouraging signal as it approaches the beginning of the spring selling season in mid-January. Elsewhere on Wall Street, Alaska Air Group soared 13.2% after raising its forecast for profit in the current quarter. The airline said demand for flying around the holidays has been stronger than expected. It also approved a plan to buy back up to $1 billion of its stock, along with new service from Seattle to Tokyo and Seoul . Boeing climbed 4.5% after saying it’s resuming production of its bestselling plane , the 737 Max, for the first time since 33,000 workers began a seven-week strike that ended in early November. Vail Resorts rose 2.5% after the ski resort operator reported a smaller first-quarter loss than analysts expected in what is traditionally its worst quarter. All told, the S&P 500 fell 17.94 points to 6,034.91. The Dow dipped 154.10 to 44,247.83, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 49.45 to 19,687.24. In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed in China after the world’s second-largest economy said its exports rose by less than expected in November. Stocks rose 0.6% in Shanghai but fell 0.5% in Hong Kong. Indexes fell across much of Europe ahead of a meeting this week by the European Central Bank, where the widespread expectation is for another cut in interest rates.
