World Happiness Report 2025 is out. And, surprise, surprise—Mexico and Canada, the two countries frequently targeted by US President Donald Trump, have been ranked much higher than the United States in terms of happiness. According to the UN-backed report, the United States is ranked 24th, while Canada stands at 18th. Surprisingly, Mexico has an even better ranking at 10th place. Notably, this marks the worst ranking for the US since the report's inception in 2012, when it achieved its peak ranking of 11th place. One of the biggest reasons for the decline in American happiness, according to the report, is eating meals alone. «The number of people dining alone in the United States has increased by 53 percent over the past two decades,» the authors stated, highlighting that shared meals are strongly linked to well-being. Data from 2023 showed that approximately 25% of Americans consumed all their daily meals alone.

Bitcoin Reserves are currently the talk of the town. These new-gen reserves around crypto assets shows the on-going paradigm shift in financial technology, and its adoption worldwide utilized in stabilizing national funds. Governments can now validate the proof of digital assets for the public and at the same time diversify portfolios, mitigating risks associated with traditional market risks. This approach has gained traction globally, with recent developments in the United States potentially influencing other nations and maybe can do the same in India.

The Trump administration appears to be breaking from that order, with foreign and economic policies that have challenged U.S. allies, undercut some multilateral institutions and used tactics such as tariffs. While it is unclear what will eventually emerge, interviews this month with more than a dozen senior bankers, investors and officials based in Asia showed that they are not waiting to find out. They are looking for an 'America plus 1' strategy, which reduces their reliance on the United States going forward.

The US descended to position 24, its poorest showing since the report's inception in 2012, when it had achieved its peak ranking of 11th place. One of the biggest reason for the fall in happiness of Americans, according to the report, is eating meals alone. «The number of people dining alone in the United States has increased 53 percent over the past two decades,» the authors stated, highlighting that shared meals «is strongly linked with well-being». Data from 2023 showed approximately 25% of Americans consumed all their daily meals alone.

Akasa Air, with top executives privately criticising Boeing for delayed plane deliveries and scrambling to assuage hundreds of anxious pilots who remain idle without work. Troubles at Akasa, backed by an Indian billionaire's family, are among the starkest examples of how Boeing's woes are crippling airlines globally and having a ripple effect on their planned expansions. The Mumbai-based low-cost airline, which started operations about three years ago, has a fleet of 27 planes, but has 226 jets — all Boeing 737 MAXs — on order. Deliveries have been delayed as Boeing's 737 programme faced regulatory scrutiny after a mid-air cabin panel blowout last year and suffered from the effects of a seven-week workers' strike.

Ajay Bagga, Market Expert, says it will not be very politically prudential or possible to bring the value chains back into the US. But when it is organised chaos and insanity as a stated policy, it is very difficult then for markets and it turns volatile. So, April 2nd is a very big event risk. That might just end with a whimper and get postponed for another three months, and that means volatility will again get enhanced. Yesterday, the Bank Global Manager survey showed 55% are putting the risk of a global recession because of Trump trade wars as the biggest risk. Bagga says by June, a bottom should be in place. Price wise, 21,800 was probably a bottom price level. Now from here, markets could go down in the very short term on some event risk, but fundamentally, we are better off than we were in September. Let us first address the big market setup. The markets are finally rebounding. Is relief finally on the anvil or there is more concern on the horizon? Have we bottomed out? Ajay Bagga: It is difficult to say that we have bottomed out but if we look at the macro, we are much better off than we were in September.

Vageshwari Properties, an entity that counts Reliance Industries' board member and executive director Nikhil Meswani's wife Elina as a director, has acquired Laxmi Nivas, an iconic bungalow located on south Mumbai's plush Nepean Sea Road, for over ₹276 crore. The over 120-year-old sea-view property situated diagonally opposite the Russian consulate has a total built up area of nearly 19,892 sq ft spanning across ground plus two upper floors. The sellers had acquired the bungalow spread over around half-an-acre from a Parsi family for about ₹1.2 lakh in 1917. The bungalow, built in 1904, holds significant historical importance, having served as a safe house for prominent freedom fighters during the 1940s Quit India movement. Notable figures such as Ram Manohar Lohia, Jayaprakash Narayan, Achyut Patwardhan and Aruna Asaf Ali sought refuge here.
