RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra, speaking at the NDTV World Summit 2026, said the central bank does not target any price or level for the rupee, but will keep taking necessary measures against speculation and excessive volatility to maintain orderly forex markets. He said global inflation is elevated while growth is lower, with the IMF projecting 3.1% growth this year, and that geopolitical tensions, supply-chain disruptions and the West Asia conflict have made central bankers' job harder. Malhotra said India's inflation has risen steadily since February, largely due to supply-side pressures, to 5.5%, and that the RBI had raised its policy repo rate by 25 basis points. He stressed that controlling inflation is the top goal, while ensuring financial stability.

Most economies have raised policy rates, except a few countries including Japan and Sweden. In India, inflation has risen steadily, largely due to supply-side pressures, to 5.5%, and the RBI has raised its policy repo rate by 25 basis points, with price stability and financial stability as its primary goals.

- RBI does not target any specific Rupee level , focuses on curbing volatility : Governor Malhotra
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the central bank does not target any specific rupee level against the dollar, aiming instead for orderly forex conditions and intervening only to curb speculation or excessive volatility. The rupee had neared its weakest-ever level of Rs 97 per dollar in recent weeks, then rose for eight consecutive sessions to a four-month high before easing to Rs 94.83 on Thursday. Malhotra said fundamentals remain robust, citing GDP growth of 7.8%, and described inflation as elevated but within the tolerance band, with the decade-average at 4.7% versus 7.4% in the preceding four years. The rupee's slide has become a political talking point, implying a nearly 42% rise in the dollar's cost since October 2016, when it traded around Rs 66.83.

- Poland declares readiness to receive more French nuclear weapons
Poland has said it is ready to host additional foreign nuclear deterrent components on its territory, including tactical or strategic nuclear weapons from the United States or France, as part of reinforcing NATO's eastern flank. Hosting them would require major upgrades to military infrastructure, including secure underground storage, a security command centre and multi-layered air and missile defence. Poland plans to use the F-35A stealth fighter, bought from the US, as a potential nuclear-capable delivery platform. Russia and Belarus have criticised the move, and Russia has previously warned that NATO nuclear sites near its border would become priority targets in a direct conflict, while analysts argue Poland's pursuit of a nuclear role will heighten regional tensions.
- SEC Approves Leveraged Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds for Trading. But Are These ETFs Worth Buying?
The SEC approved an exchange listing for Volatility Shares' 3x Bitcoin and 3x Ether ETFs, which aim to deliver triple the daily moves of the two coins, but neither can trade yet because a required SEC registration step has not been scheduled. Because these funds reset exposure daily, a roughly 10% gain followed by a 9.1% drop back to the starting price leaves a spot holder at breakeven but a leveraged ETF shareholder down about 5.5%. Volatility Shares' 2x Bitcoin ETF lost 61.9% over the 12 months ending Oct. 21, while Bitcoin fell 25.1%. The prospectus lists a 1.85% annual management fee for the Bitcoin fund and estimates the Bitcoin and Ether funds must earn 1.98% and 2.78% a year to break even. The author argues these products are mainly for hedge funds and institutional investors, while holding Bitcoin and Ethereum directly or through spot ETFs costs far less and avoids leverage-induced liquidation risk.

- Elon Musk Wants to Give Every American Child a Share of SpaceX. Here's What It Would Cost -- and What It Means for Everyone Else Holding the Stock
On Monday, Elon Musk posted on X that next year he will give one SpaceX share to every child in America, calling it “the first of many.” Assuming the same definition of a kid as the roughly 72 million American children under 18, he would need only about 1.8% of his 3.9 billion B shares, worth roughly $12 billion at today's price, against an estimated net worth of about $1 trillion. Because he can use shares he already holds, no new shares need to be issued and existing shareholders would not be diluted. Class A shares carry 10 times the voting power of B shares, giving Musk about 85% control of SpaceX, which he is not expected to give up. Longer term, the impact on other shareholders is slight, though many recipients may sell quickly, and nearly 100 million SPCX shares trade daily.
