«In the interim, flows can have some excesses, but we really feel that we have reached the bottom on Nifty. You can never say never, but largely we think we are done. Because even if you take earnings post downgrades, broadly next year will be 1200 rupees of earnings and 26-27 would be 1350 rupees of earnings,» says Sanjay H Parekh, Sohum Asset Managers. Give us a lowdown on where you feel the markets are headed from here. Do you think we have bottomed out enough because we had slipped below that 22,000 mark initially in the first half of the trading day? We have managed to recover only nominally from there. But do you believe that this is the worst for the market and now would be a good time for FIIs and along with them some confidence to return in the market? Sanjay H Parekh: So, essentially, our product is Nifty benchmark where we have at least 70% always in largecap. In fact, our average largecap holding has been 78%. So, I will just give you a perspective of how we think about Nifty to begin with. So, we think now the risk-return is really favourable.

Target actress reports travelers Courts Investigations International Who is Ranya Rao? Kannada actress arrested at Bengaluru airport for alleged smuggling of gold from Dubai

Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has arrested Kannada actress Ranya Rao at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport for allegedly smuggling 14.8 kg of gold, valued at approximately Rs 12.5 crore. Officials confirmed the arrest on Tuesday, stating that she was apprehended on Monday night and subsequently presented before an economic offences court, which remanded her to 14 days in judicial custody. According to PTI, Rao had arrived from Dubai on an Emirates flight and was reportedly under surveillance due to her frequent international travel. Authorities became suspicious after noting that she had visited Dubai four times within just 15 days, prompting them to conduct a targeted operation upon her return. Investigators revealed that the actress had allegedly smuggled the gold by wearing a significant portion of it and concealing gold bars within her clothing. Upon landing, she reportedly attempted to use her connections to evade customs checks. According to sources, Rao claimed to be the daughter of Karnataka's Director General of Police and even contacted local police personnel to escort her home.

markets UPS Action Trade President War country Trump will stand before Congress and offer a divided US an accounting of his turbulent first weeks

Donald Trump on Tuesday is expected to lay out for Congress and the American people his plans for the weeks and months ahead after a turbulent first few weeks in office, which have featured a dismantling of the federal government, tensions with America's allies and a trade war compounding economic uncertainty. His joint address to Congress is the latest marker in Trump's takeover of the nation's capital, where the Republican-led House and Senate have done little to restrain the president as he and his allies work to slash the size of the federal government and remake America's place in the world. With a tight grip on his party, Trump has been emboldened to take sweeping actions after overcoming impeachments in his first term and criminal prosecutions in between his two administrations. Trump's theme will be the «renewal of the American dream,» the White House said, and he was expected to lay out his achievements as well as appeal to Congress to provide more money to finance his aggressive immigration crackdown.
