RBI) have rarely been this comfortable when developed nations' financial markets were in turmoil. Soaring yields, rising defaults, wobbly financial markets and troubled geopolitics are all around, but few ripples are seen here. When the Federal Reserve chairman and the European Central Bank president are still guiding for raising interest rates, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, when he reveals the status quo monetary policy on Thursday, can step aside while providing the central bank's customary cautionary footnote on remaining vigilant. At the heart of monetary policy making is prices and the character of that is diverging between developed markets and the emerging markets, especially India, which tracks a consumer price index loaded with food articles. Prices are set to rise more than the target for some more quarters, but the solace is that the RBI's target of 4% is less than 200 basis points away.

Kevin Costner's Western movie, «Horizon: An American Saga,» is set to hit theaters in 2024. The film will be released in two parts. The «Chapter 1» will be out on June 28, 2024, and «Chapter 2» on August 16, 2024. Warner Bros. and New Line are behind the release of the movie. Kevin Costner planned to make «Horizon» into four separate movies originally, releasing them every three months. The movies were to be interconnected, forming a larger saga of different storylines. However, it's unclear if Costner still looks to follow the four-part plan. Costner takes on many roles in the movie, not just as the director but also as one of the actors. He is joined by Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington and Luke Wilson. The story unfolds over 15 years in the American Western frontier and delves into the lives of settlers and Indigenous groups who inhabited the land. Costner described the film as a portrayal of women trying to survive in a harsh world, often following their men to unsettled and dangerous territories. He emphasized the challenges and vulnerability they faced. Kevin Costner is known for his role in popular series «Yellowstone,» which made him one of the highest-paid actors on TV. But his involvement in the show's future remains uncertain due to conflicts with producers. They claimed Costner's availability had decreased as he focused on «Horizon,» while Costner argued he was adjusting his schedule to accommodate Season 5 of «Yellowstone.» «Horizon: An American Saga» marks Costner's fourth directorial endeavor, following «Open Range» in 2003, «The Postman» in 1997, and the 1990 Oscar best picture-winner, «Dances With Wolves.»
