Greenland has moved from the margins of world affairs to the centre of an uncomfortable geopolitical debate. Recent statements from U.S. political leadership, suggesting that control over Greenland is essential for American security and that military options cannot be ruled out, have transformed long-standing strategic interest into an openly contested issue of sovereignty. What was once quiet cooperation has now become a source of tension within NATO itself.

The company has set a price band of ₹118 to ₹124 per equity share, with a lot size of 120 shares, translating to a minimum investment of ₹14,880 for retail investors.

Last week offered a mixed picture across global economies, with growth holding up in some areas while others showed clear signs of cooling. In the US, manufacturing remained under pressure. The ISM Manufacturing PMI slipped further to 47.9 in December 2025, its third straight monthly decline and the lowest since October 2024. Production eased to 51 from 51.4, inventories fell sharply to 45.2 from 48.9, and price pressures stayed elevated at 58.5. New orders improved slightly

The threat of a 500% tariff on Indian exports to the United States has sent shockwaves through India’s financial markets. What began as a geopolitical trade dispute quickly spilt into Indian financial market, triggering a sharp sell-off in equities, pressuring the rupee, and pushing export-heavy industries into deeper stress. This is no longer just a policy headline; it has become a material economic risk for markets and manufacturers alike.

Food inflation remained a key economic concern in 2025, particularly in India, where food accounts for a large share of household expenditure. After periods of sharp volatility in earlier years, 2025 stood out as a year of gradual normalisation. This moderation was driven largely by strong agricultural output, comfortable buffer stocks, favourable weather conditions, and policy measures aimed at stabilising both supply and prices.

The company has set a price band of ₹343 to ₹361 per equity share, with a lot size of 41 shares, translating to a minimum investment of ₹14,801 for retail investors.

Few companies in India evoke as much debate as ITC Limited. For decades, it has been regarded as a cash-rich, dependable heavyweight; defined by steady dividends, powerful brands, and a strong balance sheet. As 2025 turned into early 2026, however, ITC found itself back in the spotlight, not due to operational weakness, but because policy, perception, and future expectations converged. This is ITC’s current reality: financially stable, but operating under rising regulatory un

The company has set a price band of ₹21 to ₹23 per equity share, with a lot size of 600 shares, translating to a minimum investment of ₹13,800 for retail investors.

Last week, the major economic updates came from India, with fresh data on industrial production, manufacturing activity, and foreign exchange reserves offering useful insights into the current state of the economy. India’s latest economic data offers a mix of encouragement and caution. On the one hand, industrial activity picked up sharply in November. On the other hand, forward-looking indicators suggest that momentum may be easing as businesses deal with global uncertainty

At first glance, the renewed tension between the United States and Venezuela looks familiar...sanctions, oil, geopolitics, and yet another flashpoint in Latin America. But this conflict is no longer just about barrels of crude or political ideology. It sits at the intersection of energy security, financial dominance, and a global power balance that is slowly shifting. Markets reacted instantly. The US dollar strengthened after weeks of softness. Gold prices moved higher. Inv

The year 2025 was not a blockbuster year for equity markets - but it was an important one. For India, it marked a phase of consolidation, resilience, and structural strengthening, even as global markets grappled with high interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and uneven growth. Rather than a sharp rally, Indian equities delivered measured, earnings-led returns, standing out within a fragmented emerging-market landscape.

If you follow financial news, you’ve likely seen the buzz surrounding "stablecoins" and the "Digital Rupee." To the casual observer, they might seem like the same thing, digital tokens that live on a phone. In a recent keynote address, RBI Deputy Governor Shri T. Rabi Sankar laid out a compelling case for why India is leaning into its own Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) while remaining deeply sceptical of stablecoins. Here is a breakdown of why this choice matters for th

Last week’s data presents a mixed but encouraging picture; some areas remain soft, yet the broader trend suggests resilience, both at home and abroad. Starting with India’s infrastructure output, November 2025 brought a welcome turnaround. Output rose 1.8% year-on-year, bouncing back from a revised 0.1% decline in October, the first drop in over a year. This matters because infrastructure accounts for nearly 40% of India’s total industrial production. The rebound suggests tha

In 2025, the stock markets of India and Pakistan - two neighbouring South Asian economies - told sharply different stories. While Pakistan’s equity market stunned investors with a powerful rally, India’s market slowed after a strong previous year. The contrast highlights how emerging markets, even within the same region, can move in very different directions depending on valuations, capital flows, and policy signals.

 The company has set a price band of ₹108 to ₹114 per equity share, with a lot size of 128 shares, translating to a minimum investment of ₹14,598 for retail investors.

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) concluded its December 2025 Monetary Policy Meeting with a move that marks a definitive turning point in the nation’s long economic journey. In a unanimous decision, Governor Kazuo Ueda and his policy board raised the short-term interest rate to 0.75%, up from the previous 0.5%. This isn't just an incremental adjustment; it represents the highest interest rate level Japan has seen since 1995. While central banks across the West are beginning to ease th

When the RBI cuts interest rates, home loan borrowers usually expect one thing. A lower EMI. Banks are happy to offer that. A smaller monthly payment feels like relief. But very few borrowers pause to ask a more important question. Is this actually the best way to use a rate cut?

Insurance laws don’t usually make headlines, but the Insurance Amendment Bill 2025 is different. It quietly reshapes how insurance companies operate in India, how they raise money, how agents are regulated, and how policyholders are protected. If you own an insurance policy or plan to buy one, this Bill matters more than you might think. Let’s break it down in simple terms. The Big Headline: 100% Foreign Investment Allowed The most talked-about change is the decision to allow

If you glanced at the news headlines, you probably saw a number that looked too good to be true. According to the latest government press release, India’s headline inflation rate for November 2025 is 0.71%. On paper, this is amazing news. It suggests that prices are barely moving. Compared to this time last year, when inflation was over 5%, we seem to be living in a completely different economic landscape. But if you are nodding your head thinking, "My bank account definitely

This past week reminded markets that while inflation pressures have eased from their peaks, central banks are still far from declaring victory. Starting with Australia, the Reserve Bank of Australia kept its cash rate unchanged at 3.6% for the third straight meeting, in line with expectations. Borrowing costs remain at their lowest since April 2023. The RBA acknowledged that inflation has cooled sharply from 2022 levels, but the recent pickup has caught attention. While some
