  RBI's 25 bps rate cut fails to excite markets; rate-sensitive sectors jitter The Reserve Bank of India delivered  a quarter-sized rate cut , the first in almost five years and just like the markets anticipated. Given that the market had already priced in a rate cut from the Indian central bank, the RBI outcome failed to spark strong gains for the benchmarks-- the Sensex and Nifty. Rate-sensitive sectors like banking, automobiles, real estate and consumer durables also witnessed similar activity, with positive knee-jerk reactions to the rate cut fizzling out quickly. Following an initial uptick, rate-sensitive sectors like Nifty Bank, Nifty Realty, and Nifty Auto slipped into losses while Nifty Consumer Durables remained an outlier, with marginal gains. Consumer stocks saw a mixed trend. Despite higher liquidity increasing the cash in consumers' hand...

At the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, a 95-year-old Aghori Baba named Baba Kalpurush has made a prediction that left everyone astounded. “The pyre will burn and the air will turn black.
