location of the brain is clear — it is inside our head, encased by the skull. The brain is the centre of all neural activity, giving out commands and receiving electrical and chemical signals from and to different parts of the body, as well as from external stimuli. But no one knows, yet, where the mind is located, although memories are stored in the brain and thoughts are generated from this organ. Over and above the physical brain, there is mind, which is non-fungible. Writing for Templeton Ideas, Stephen Law says that the mind's inner landscape appears to be inaccessible to others. 'No one else can enter my mind and access my thoughts and feelings along with me. Rather, they must infer how things are with me from observation of my outward behaviour.' He goes on to say that therefore, we each live out our lives in solitary confinement. Similarly, every other individual's landscape of the mind is their own private world. Just as others cannot enter your world, so, too, you cannot enter their minds, their inner worlds. Even if we try to put ourselves in their shoes, as the saying goes, it is impossible to experience their innermost experiences and thoughts.

What is causing the XRP price movement? The first and foremost reason for XRP’s recent climb is the positive trend of the entire cryptocurrency market, which seems to be leveraging XRP’s growth strategy quite well. As the market witnessed an increase with Bitcoin scaling over $93,000 and Ethereum scaling over $3,100, these two effective cryptocurrencies set the pace for the entire market. Moreover, Ripple’s legal conflict with the SEC has also competed favourably. A win in this litigation clarified things about the regulation and removed most of the ambiguity that had suffocated XRP’s performance. Other recent occurrences, such as the ratification of the joint motion for a final judgement, have, in addition, rekindled investors’ confidence. Furthermore, other geopolitical and market forces are also coming into play. l Crucial are technical factors, XRP is testing a major resistance level of $1.25. Should this level be crossed, this may stimulate further demand, pushing the price towards the next target of $1.50. If the bullish scenario were to extend, XRP may even target the highest mark of $3.84.

Santosh Rao, Head of Research & Partner, Manhattan Venture Partners, says they are doing a barbell strategy in the US where there is technology on one hand because that continues to be a growth strategy and AI is the growth engine and on the other hand, in anticipation of a recovering economy and pro-growth strategies, they are going with cyclicals such as financials and industrials and materials. Rao says a similar strategy applies in India as well and one should stay with high-quality names. There is no room for speculation. Technology is not that big a factor, but pharmaceuticals and industrials are. The rupee has largely been range-bound in the past year and that hovered between Rs 83 and 84 to the dollar. In fact, many emerging markets' currencies were losing ground. There are several reasons behind the recent depreciation that we have seen in the rupee like FII outflows and stronger dollar on the back of Trump 2.0 trade deficit. What is the biggest reason that is driving the rupee down and how critical are these levels in the rupee trade? Santosh Rao: I agree with all the reasons you gave. So, the incremental news in the last few days is the new narrative building that the Fed may not cut rates as aggressively as thought, which is keeping the 10-year yield up and that is keeping the dollar strong and that is going to weigh on most of the emerging market currencies, and also India. That is a big part and an incremental development since the last few weeks.

AI regulations. Stringent regulations such as the proposed EU Artificial Intelligence Act could potentially undermine the global competitiveness of European AI startups, likely pushing more companies to shift to place like the United States —a seismic blow to Europe’s tech ecosystem, ET has learnt after speaking with multiple industry executives, global founders, and investors at the Slush 2024 event in Helsinki. “The reality is that the regulations here are far removed from the reality of how businesses operate,” said Andreas Klinger, founder of Prototype Capital, an early-stage solo general partner fund based in Berlin. “If we look at the high-risk aspects, everyone will agree, but things get muddier very quickly. I invest in artificial intelligence startups, so I have a good sense of what is likely to happen.”
