GIFT Nifty traded down 18.5 points, or 0.10%, at 19,305.5, indicating a negative opening for domestic indices NSE Nifty 50 and BSE Sensex on Wednesday. Previously on Monday, the NSE Nifty 50 tanked 260.90 points or 1.34% to settle at 19,281.75, while the BSE Sensex shed as much as 825.74 points to 64,571.88.
“Markets started the week on a feeble note and lost nearly one and a half percent. After the flat start, the Nifty gradually inched lower and settled around the day’s low at 19,281.75 level. The selling pressure was widespread wherein metal and realty were among the top losers. However, a sharp cut in the broader indices caught the participants completely off-guard and both midcap and smallcap lost in the range of 2.9%-3.8%,” said Ajit Mishra, SVP – Technical Research, Religare Broking.
“We feel the prevailing negativity is not going to subside anytime soon citing weak global cues and recent sell-off in th…
Oil prices were little changed in early Asian trade on Wednesday, as concerns eased about potential supply disruptions due to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas. Brent crude rose 12 cents at $87.77 a barrel by 0009 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 3 cents to $86.00 a barrel.
Brent and WTI surged more than $3.50 on Monday as the military clashes raised fears that the conflict could spread beyond Gaza, but settled lower in Tuesday’s session. While Israel produces very little crude oil, markets worried that if the conflict escalates it could hurt Middle East supply and worsen an expected deficit for the rest of the year.

The rupee rose 9 paise to 83.10 against the US dollar in early trade on Friday amid a retreating dollar versus major rivals and positive cues from equity markets. Massive selling of equities by foreign investors and an upward trend in crude oil prices, however, capped the rise of domestic currency, forex dealers said. The Indian unit opened strong at 83.13 against the US dollar and touched the highest level of 83.09.
It later traded at 83.10 against the greenback, registering a gain of 9 paise from its previous close. On Thursday, the rupee settled 3 paise higher at 83.19. Analysts said higher interest rates and US bond yields are prompting foreign investors to stay in the selling mode in Indian capital markets, while the rupee witnessed some recovery due to a significant decline in India’s current account deficit (CAD).

ITC shares surged by 7.55% to Rs 438 following the announcement that British American Tobacco (BAT) Plc intends to sell about 3.5% of its stake in ITC to institutional investors through block deals on Wednesday.

The proposed sale will be conducted within a price range of Rs 384 and 400.25 per share, implying a discount of up to 5% at the lower end of the range, based on ITC’s closing price on Tuesday on the BSE.

Like several other PlayStation 5 games, The Last of Us Part 1 will feature a number of accessibility options that include audio descriptions for cinematics, alternative controls, and much more.
One of the more interesting features uses the DualSense controller to enhance dialogue. The controller vibrates when a specific line is delivered, thus enabling a deaf player to feel the emphasis during these dialogue sequences and get a sense for how it is spoken. Another fascinating feature is geared toward blind and visually-impaired players, which Naughty Dog calls Enhanced Listen Mode. Using that suite of features, players can scan for enemies, cinematics have audio descriptions, and traversal audio clues help paint a picture of the world around Joel.
“To some extent the principles behind accessibility are good universal design principles,” game director Matthew Gallant said in a video that highlighted some of the new accessibility options. “Thankfully we’re able to think abo…

Wargo talked to Shawnee Delaney, the current chief executive of Vaillance Group, and a former Defense Intelligence Agency officer. Delaney was keen to explain how her previous experience in intelligence services was more relevant to the casino sector than anyone outside the industry could suspect.
Casinos Continue to Be Target for Bad Actors and Hackers
She put a stop to the speculation by explaining that malicious actors – whether they are spies or social engineers – use the same technique to infiltrate systems and networks, accessing all sorts of information. Delaney said that casinos are particularly vulnerable in their relationships with third parties.
This, she argued, allows hackers to penetrate third-party systems and from there on – the casinos themselves. It’…
In the United Kingdom and the announcement earlier today by Prime Minister Boris Johnson (pictured) that he was standing down as leader of the Conservative political party has reportedly thrown the future of the nation’s ‘white paper’ review of its online gambling market into jeopardy.
According to a report from a source, the controversial leader made his decision public via a press conference outside 10 Downing Street this afternoon although confusion abounds as to how long the 58-year-old intends to remain the nation’s Prime Minister. This move was purportedly prefaced by a swath of high-level ministerial resignations including from the man who had been in charge of overseeing the ‘white paper’ review as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Tech and the Digital Economy, Chris Philp.
Positive plan:
Johnson’s government reportedly launched its investigation into the current state of the country’s iGaming market some 20 mont…
