At the NDTV World Summit 2026 in New Delhi, RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the central bank does not target 'any price or level for the Rupee', but will keep taking measures to curb speculation and excessive volatility to keep forex markets orderly. He said geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, the West Asia conflict and trade uncertainty have made the central banker's job more challenging. Globally, inflation is elevated while growth is lower, with the IMF projecting 3.1% for this year. In India, inflation has risen steadily to 5.5 per cent, largely due to supply-side pressures, and the RBI has raised the policy repo rate by 25 basis points, with price stability as its top goal.

Reserve Bank of India Governor Sanjay Malhotra said the central bank does not target any specific price or level for the rupee, but will keep taking measures to curb speculation and excessive volatility to ensure orderly conditions in the forex market. Speaking at the NDTV World Summit 2026, he said geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, the West Asia conflict and trade uncertainties have made central banks' job more challenging.

- History Says This ETF Could Be the Biggest Winner of the Stock Market Sell-Off
Despite a volatile 2026, the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 are up 14.6% and 11.7% year to date. The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT), the largest tech fund at $149 billion, rebounded sharply after the initial sell-off when the war in Iran began, though the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index entered a bear market in July. Chipmakers and equipment companies make up 43.6% of the fund, which is still up 28% this year. The article argues that the Federal Reserve's high interest rates in its fight against inflation could be one factor behind the next correction. CoreWeave (CRWV) is in a bear market as yields on its corporate debt have surged over concerns about its debt load, while VGT, which holds 318 stocks, offers broad exposure with a 0.09% expense ratio, or $9 on a $10,000 stake.
- UK banks face 10,000 complaints in 3 months over crypto restrictions
Advocacy group Stand With Crypto recorded 10,092 complaints from 9,800 individuals about UK bank restrictions on crypto transactions over a 90-day period. Lloyds Banking Group drew the most complaints with 2,297 (23%), followed by Barclays with 1,569 and NatWest with 1,278. The data is voluntary, not adjusted for market share, and not representative of all customers. Stand With Crypto argues blanket bans, rigid limits and unclear policies could impede access to regulated exchanges and undermine the UK’s goal of becoming a global crypto hub. Katie Harries of Coinbase cited research by the UK Cryptoasset Business Council showing 40% of attempted transfers to FCA-registered exchanges were blocked or delayed over the preceding 12 months, and banks with published limits accounted for 61% of complaints.
- Why look at real assets into 2027?
UBS favors real assets, including commodities, infrastructure and property, for 2027 because AI is boosting demand for data centers, electricity and power infrastructure. Electrification, energy security and supply-chain realignment are also driving spending on power, industrial capacity and infrastructure, which could support industrial commodities. In property, reduced development has limited new supply, making data centers, senior housing, multifamily housing and high-quality offices well positioned. Gold plays a different role, as fiscal uncertainty, geopolitical shocks and inflation concerns could support demand for it as a store of value and hedge. Higher interest rates or tighter financing could weigh on infrastructure and real estate valuations and raise refinancing costs.
- Can GE Vernova's Gas Turbines Make Up for a Collapsing Wind Business?
GE Vernova's wind power equipment revenue fell 11% year over year to $2 billion in Q2, and wind turbine orders dropped 40%. Gas turbine revenue rose 14% to $5.5 billion, while orders soared 135% to $16.7 billion. Combined orders for gas turbines and the electrification business (transformers and switchgear) reached a record $24.2 billion in Q2. The main constraint is production capacity, which the company is working to address. The article argues gas turbine growth more than offsets the wind decline, and CEO Scott Strazik said only 20% of the power division's backlog comes from data center customers, with the rest from conventional customers such as utilities.
- Saudi Arabia says it intercepted missiles and drones from Iran-backed Houthis
The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said it intercepted two drones and a ballistic missile heading to Riyadh, plus 10 ballistic missiles aimed at southern Saudi Arabia and a cruise missile toward Khamis Mushait, in Sunday attacks by Iran-aligned Houthis. The Houthis said targets included King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu. The airport resumed operations after suspending on Oct. 10 following a strike that killed at least 13 people. Ongoing fighting and fears of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran after the Nov. 3 midterms pushed Brent up 3.1% to $116.72 a barrel, its highest settlement since April 29, while WTI rose 3.8% to $103.27.
- As vote nears , Trump AI gamble fuels economic uncertainty
The article argues that President Trump's AI policies could leave the U.S. economy facing considerable risk over the next two years. Independent analyses cited data center infrastructure spending as accounting for nearly all U.S. economic growth last winter and spring, while financiers such as Ray Dalio and Ken Griffin have warned of an AI bubble. The Nasdaq 100 has about 70% of its index weight in AI-dependent companies, and Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff said a 30% or greater stock market drop is entirely plausible. Tariffs have raised costs for chips and components, while federal deficits have pushed up long-term bond rates, adding pressure on heavily indebted AI firms. Economist Servaas Storm said the AI bubble could pop before Trump's presidency ends as rising debt and elevated interest rates prove too much to sustain it.
