New Crypto Mining Sensation BlockDAG Coin Expected to Surge 100x to $0.05, Beats Bitcoin and Litecoin Returns
Crypto mining has quickly gone from an obscure industry to an industry so big that Bitcoin (BTC) mining alone consumes over 0.6% of the United States’s electricity, not to mention other minable coins such as Litecoin (LTC).

Here's why Peter McGuire is bullish on steel
«You have only got to look at Delhi and what is going on there from an infrastructure and then come to Mumbai and it is breathtaking,» says Peter McGuire, CEO, XM Australia. And let us get to talking about that hotter than expected inflation print that came in. What do you think this will lead the US Fed to do? A couple of things. I think it hit the market by a little bit of a surprise and as far as a pushback, we were looking at the best part of 65-66% as far as a rate cut come May and that has been pushed back now to around about 32-33% and they are rolling that forward to possibly by June or July.

Why brokerages remain positive on Hindalco stock despite a 14% fall on Novelis shocker?
Hindalco Industries shares on Wednesday extended their losses to over 13% in two sessions notwithstanding a 71% year-on-year (YoY) jump in its December quarter net profit as the Novelis capex shocker weighed on the stock. However, the intensity of decline was substantially lower on Wednesday with less than 1% fall around 11 am. A clutch of brokerages remains optimistic about the long-term story of Hindalco expecting the company to benefit from Novlis capex, over time. While Jefferies, Motilal Oswal and JM Financial have reiterated their buy views, Kotak Institutional Equities has an 'Add' stance. Nuvama on the other hand has recommended a hold and cut the price target.
