A Big Hello and A Very Good Moring to Readers and Viewers,

Today is TUESDAY, 9th DECEMBER 2025, and here we go with our THE #DLG+2 DISPATCH / THE DATELINE GUJARAT DISPATCH, - THE BUSINESS BUZZ ...

YOUR DAILY BRIEFING
Wednesday, 10 December 2025 | Ahmedabad Edition
Good morning. It’s a crisp 19°C outside, nights have already kissed 14.6°C, and the mercury is in free fall. Bundle up.
Here’s what India (and the world) is actually talking about today – no fluff, no balance-for-the-sake-of-balance, just the stories that matter, served latest first.1. Goa’s Party Empire Burns – Literally and FigurativelyThe Luthra brothers, overnight kings of India’s nightclub scene, are now international fugitives chilling in Phuket while their Romeo Lane shack in Vagator gets bulldozed and questions swirl over whether Goa Police gave them a 48-hour head-start after the deadly Birch fire. Senior cops deny it, but the timing is suspiciously perfect. Ten years from startup darlings to “runaway tycoons” – moral of the story: when your business model is Instagram glitter and fire-safety negligence, the house always wins… until it burns.2. INDIA Bloc Goes Nuclear on Madras HC JudgeIn an impeachment motion against Justice G.R. Swaminathan over the Madurai temple “deepam” row has been formally submitted to the Lok Sabha Speaker. DMK and opposition MPs accuse him of bias and “anti-secular” decisions. The judge’s crime? Allegedly siding with tradition in a lamp-lighting dispute. If lighting a lamp now triggers impeachment, we’ve officially entered peak political theatre.3. Australia Just Banned Teens from Social MediaAs of today, millions of Australian teenagers woke up locked out of Instagram, TikTok and everything else. The world’s strictest social-media age ban is now law. Europe is drafting similar rules. India? Still busy debating whether Reels cause riots. One country decided parenting by algorithm has gone too far. Discuss.4. Mamata Wants Modi’s Apology for “Bankim da” JibeThe West Bengal CM is furious after (she claims) the PM mocked Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay in Parliament. Expect this to dominate Bengali news cycles for the next week while actual governance takes a tea break.5. Markets Bleed Quietly, IT Dragged into the MudSensex –436, Nifty below 25,850, IT stocks hammered ahead of the Fed decision tonight. Meanwhile the rupee is knocking on 90/$ and RBI is reportedly selling $100 million every minute to defend it. Translation: your overseas vacation just got 5–7% more expensive since last month.6. Adani Drops ₹15,000 Crore Bid for Jaiprakash AssociatesGautam Adani also warned yesterday that “if we don’t control our own narrative, our growth will be criminalised”. Sir, with respect, when half the country thinks you’re a comic-book villain, maybe narrative isn’t the only problem.7. IndiGo Ordered to Cut 10% FlightsDGCA finally lost patience after days of chaos. Over 200 daily flights grounded, passengers fuming, and the airline insists “operations have stabilised”. Sure, just like my sleep schedule after three back-to-back red-eye delays.8. Satya Nadella Pledges ₹1.5 Lakh Crore for India’s “AI-First Future”Microsoft wants to train 2 million Indians in AI by 2027. Great. Now if only we could get the same energy for training pilots, air-traffic controllers and fire-safety inspectors.9. In Ahmedabad Local Rage
• A bride’s family got ditched by bus operators on wedding day – father files defamation case. Peak Gujarati energy.
• Subhash Bridge closed till 25 Dec for repairs – plan your Sabarmati drives accordingly.
• Night temperature dipped to 14.6°C – winter is not coming, it’s here.
10. And Finally, a Gentle Reminder from History
Amit Shah in Parliament: “Had Vande Mataram not been truncated for appeasement, India might never have been partitioned.”

Take it as you will, but some sentences hit harder than others.
That’s your unfiltered Wednesday.
Stay warm, stay furious, stay informed.
See you tomorrow – same bat-time, same bat-channel.___________________

THE NEWS FOR YOU EDITIONWednesday, 10 December 2025 – The Unfiltered, No-Nonsense WrapBuckle up. The world didn’t stop spinning just because you were busy living your life. Here’s everything that actually matters today – latest first, oldest last, with zero corporate sanitisation.
1. Goa nightclub owners flee to Phuket, Interpol Blue Notice out

After the horrific Birch club fire that killed 25, the absconding owners have reportedly landed in Thailand. Goa CM orders demolition of all illegal clubs built on salt pans. Wanton negligence finally has consequences – or at least a dramatic chase. (The Hindu, 43 mins ago)

2. US revokes 85,000 visas in 2025, Indians getting “prudential revocation” emails
“Your H-1B has been prudentially revoked.” That chilling line is hitting inboxes as Trump 2.0’s State Department cancels visas en masse citing “public-safety concerns”. Student visas, H-1Bs, even H-4s – nobody feels safe. (CNN / TOI, last 17 hours)

3. ‘Dhurandhar’ refuses to slow down – inches toward ₹140 cr despite Tuesday being a working day
Ranveer Singh’s spy thriller is officially the sleeper blockbuster nobody saw coming. Even Vivek Agnihotri told Ranveer & Aditya Dhar to “forget the naysayers”. Bonus: Pakistani wedding dancing to the title track just broke the internet. Proof that good cinema crosses borders – and burns dance floors. (TOI Live Update / HT)

4. IndiGo crisis deepens: DGCA slaps 10% flight cut, over 200 daily flights axed
Nine straight days of chaos, thousands stranded, and now the government has forced India’s largest airline to shrink operations. CEO Pieter Elbers claims “operations stabilised”. Passengers on X beg to differ. (NDTV / HT)

5. Oil collapse accelerates – EIA now sees Brent at $55 in Q1 2026

From “lower for longer” to “super-glut” to “holy crap it’s fifty-five”. OPEC+ hits pause, supply surges, demand wobbles. Your petrol price is about to become the best news you actually like. (breakingthenews.net, 37 mins ago)
6. Gold steady but everyone waiting for tomorrow’s Fed decision

XAU/USD hovering, silver near record highs, traders holding breath. One wrong word from Powell and we’re off to the races – up or down, nobody knows. (Multiple sources)
7. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan forced to publicly clarify: “Aaradhya is NOT on social media”
Fake accounts using her 13-year-old daughter’s name forced Ash to issue a statement. Reminder that celebrity kids deserve privacy too. (TOI / India Today)

8. Smriti Mandhana – Palash Muchhal wedding officially called off

The cricketer and the music composer have “decided to move on”. Palash warns of legal action against rumour-mongers. Sports-meets-Bollywood romance over before the shaadi ka joda was even stitched.
9. Rahul Bose quits Rugby India presidency bid amid fake Himachal domicile row

Actor accused of forging documents to contest from Himachal quota. HC issues notice. Bose withdraws, says he was never in the race anyway.
10. Microsoft drops ₹1.5 lakh crore bomb on Indian AI & cloud

$17.5 billion over the next few years. Internet already calling it the “golden era”. Meanwhile desi startups quietly praying for table scraps.
11. ‘3 Idiots’ sequel confirmed – Aamir, Kareena, Madhavan, Sharman, Hirani reuniting
Filming starts 2026. Seventeen years later, Rancho, Pia, Virus and the gang are back. Prepare for nostalgia overload.

12. Quick-commerce bubble warning from none other than Blinkit CEO Albinder Dhindsa
Yes, the guy running one of the biggest players just said the party may be ending soon. Discounts will vanish, user experience will change. Zepto IPO and Swiggy QIP suddenly look very timed.

13. NRI vs India debate explodes again

American woman lists 9 culture shocks after 2.5 months here. Separate thread of NRIs saying “India’s vibe mogs silent American streets”. Usual suspects fighting in comments.
14. Pakistan quietly moving to carve new provinces – experts say it will backfire spectacularly

From one Punjab to potentially four. Aleem Khan openly pushing. Analysts calling it “more harm than good”. Popcorn ready.
15. And finally… Matthew Hayden still terrified of naked MCG walk if Joe Root scores twin tons in Ashes
Daughter Grace already disowning him. Never change, Aussie legends.

That’s your Wednesday served raw.
Stay furious, stay entertained, stay informed.
See you tomorrow – same time, same attitude.

NEWSROOM BUZZ - EDITOR'S CHOICE EDITIONStories selected by newsroom editors
In a year that's seen democracy tested, markets rattled, and global tensions simmer, our editors have zeroed in on the pulse-pounding developments shaping December 10, 2025. From fiery parliamentary showdowns to seismic corporate bids and heartbreaking tragedies abroad, here's the unfiltered take—opinionated, unapologetic, and urgently engaging. We've woven in the raw voices and timelines, starting with the freshest sparks and tracing back to the embers that ignited them. Buckle up; this is news that bites back.Dec 9: Paramount's Hostile Hollywood Heist – Netflix's Crown Slips?Picture this: Netflix, the streaming behemoth that's redefined binge culture, thought it had locked in the ultimate power play—a $72 billion swoop for Warner Bros. Discovery's crown jewels (HBO, DC Studios, the whole glittering studio empire). But enter Paramount Skydance, led by the Ellison clan's tech-savvy ambition, crashing the party with a $108.4 billion hostile bid for the entire Warner Bros. Discovery. It's not just a deal; it's a Succession-level soap opera, complete with Trump-era whispers of regulatory favoritism (hello, Jared Kushner as a backer).
Our take? Netflix's offer was slick—cash plus equity, valuing the streaming and studio assets at a cool $82.7 billion—but Paramount's all-cash $30-per-share gambit smells like desperation wrapped in bravado. Warner's board is "reviewing" it, but let's call it what it is: a desperate bid to consolidate Hollywood before AI and tariffs eat the industry alive. If Paramount wins, expect a media monolith that could dwarf Disney; if Netflix prevails, it's a streaming super-duopoly that buries cable for good. Either way, shareholders feast, but creators? They'll be collateral in this billionaire cage match. Timeline twist: This erupted just days after Netflix's Friday announcement, with Paramount firing back Monday—proving in Tinseltown, no merger's final until the popcorn's cold.Dec 9: Rahul's Lok Sabha Firestorm – 'Vote Chori' the Ultimate Anti-National Sin?Parliament's winter session exploded into a constitutional cage fight as Rahul Gandhi torched the BJP and Election Commission in a blistering Lok Sabha speech on electoral reforms. "Vote chori is the biggest anti-national act," he thundered, accusing the RSS of "capturing" institutions like the EC to rig the system. Posing three gut-punch questions—Why oust the CJI from EC appointments? Why grant commissioners immunity? Why shred CCTV footage after 45 days?—Gandhi demanded machine-readable voter lists, full EVM access, and retroactive law changes to hunt down "thieves." The opposition united behind him, with Akhilesh Yadav spotlighting 10 BLO deaths in UP's SIR process, demanding ₹1 crore ex-gratia and jobs for kin.
We say: Bravo, Rahul—this isn't theater; it's a clarion call against a democracy under siege. The BJP's retorts (Nishikant Dubey dredging up Indira's "vote chori" in Raebareli) reek of deflection, but Gandhi's demands for VVPAT counts or paper ballots? Spot on. With Bihar's "big win" felicitations for Modi echoing hollow amid SIR chaos, this debate isn't just reform—it's a referendum on whether India's vote is sacred or for sale. Timeline heat: Sparked by Haryana's alleged "Brazilian voter" fraud, it peaked Tuesday amid INDIA bloc impeachment moves against a Madurai judge—proving the opposition's firing on all cylinders.Dec 9: Amit Shah's Vande Mataram Volley – Congress's 'Appeasement' the Partition Villain?Switching chambers, Rajya Sabha's 150th anniversary nod to Vande Mataram turned into Amit Shah's historical haymaker. Blasting Congress for "dividing" the anthem in 1937 (blame Nehru, he roared) and jailing singers during Indira's Emergency, Shah linked it straight to Partition: "Appeasement politics fractured the song—and the nation." Kharge fired back, chanting the anthem himself: "Don't lecture us on patriotism—you served the British while we jailed for it!"
Opinion: Shah's narrative is a masterclass in BJP revisionism—Vande Mataram as cultural war ammo ahead of Bengal polls? Subtle. But Kharge nailed the hypocrisy: If patriotism's the game, why the silence on BLO threats or EC bias? This wasn't commemoration; it was a pre-election psy-op, with Modi echoing from Lok Sabha. Timeline fuel: Priyanka's Monday jibes lit the fuse, Shah's Tuesday retort fanned the flames—expect Bengal's 2026 battle to sing this tune louder.Dec 9: IndiGo's Chaos Apology – CEO's "We've Let You Down" Amid Flight PurgeIndiGo's CEO Pieter Elbers issued a mea culpa video: "We've let you down... operations stable now," after a week of 500+ cancellations crippled India's skies. The government slashed 10% of schedules (200+ flights daily) post a ministry summons, blaming crew shortages and FDTL norms. Refunds? 100% processed till Dec 6, but baggage woes linger.
Harsh truth: This isn't a glitch; it's systemic rot in aviation's low-cost facade. IndiGo's 65% market stranglehold? Time to break it—before another "optimization" strands millions. Timeline: Erupted Dec 5 with 700 flights axed; Tuesday's apology rings hollow as 422 cancellations hit six airports.Dec 9: Telangana's Pharma Power Play – ₹9,500 Cr Inked, 20K+ Jobs IncomingTelangana's Rising Summit sealed ₹9,500 crore MoUs with pharma giants: Biological E's ₹3,500 cr vaccine hub (3,000 jobs), Aurobindo's ₹2,000 cr generics push (3,000 roles), Bharat Biotech's ₹1,000 cr CRDMO. Total summit haul? ₹3.5 lakh crore.
Bullish verdict: Revanth Reddy's vision is gold—positioning Hyderabad as Asia's pharma nerve center. But execution's key; past promises fizzled. Timeline: Day 2's marathon signings cap a summit that kicked off with ₹2.43 lakh crore Day 1—momentum building for Genome Valley 2.0.Dec 9: Punjab's Cash-for-CM Bombshell – Sidhu's Wife Suspended, But Claims 70% Party BackingNavjot Kaur Sidhu's "₹500 cr for CM's chair" nuke suspended her from Congress, but she doubled down: "70% Punjab unit, 90% AICC with me—won't back thieves." High command talks ongoing; she slams Warring as "corrupt," Randhawa as ticket-seller. AAP's Cheema piles on, challenging BJP/Cong silence.
Savage spin: This isn't rebellion; it's a purge waiting to happen. Sidhu's cancer-survivor grit vs. party dinosaurs? Root for the underdog exposing the rot. Timeline: Saturday's governor meet sparked it; Monday's suspension ignited Tuesday's defiance—2027 polls just got spicier.Dec 9: Goa's Shackdown – Luthra Bros' Romeo Lane Razed Amid Fire FuryBulldozers roared into Vagator as CM Sawant ordered Romeo Lane's demolition—third Luthra property hit after Arpora's deadly nightclub blaze (25 dead). Fugitives Gaurav/Saurabh fled to Thailand; Interpol's Blue Corner notice hunts them. Shack? Illegal on govt land, no fire nods.
Outrage fuel: Years of ignored warnings (illegal builds, cop interference) turned party central into a tomb. Justice? Demolish 'em all, but probe the enablers—senior IPS included. Timeline: Saturday inferno to Tuesday razia—Goa's tourism facade crumbles.Dec 9: Umar Khalid's Family Plea – Interim Bail for Sister's Wedding?JNU activist Umar Khalid seeks 16-day interim bail (Dec 14-29) for his sister's Dec 27 wedding—fifth year in UAPA custody over 2020 riots. Karkardooma hearing Dec 11; SC regular bail pends.
Heart-wrenching: Bail as family rite? Khalid's "grave role" tag feels like endless punishment. Grant it—humanity over headlines. Timeline: Echoes 2022/2024 wedding bails; latest amid SC trial timeline hints.Dec 9: RSF's Grim Tally – Israel Behind 43% of 2025 Journalist DeathsReporters Without Borders indicts Israel for 29 of 67 global journo killings (43%)—Gaza's deadliest year, with 220+ since Oct '23. "Double-tap" hospital strikes topped horrors; Mexico's 9 deaths second.
Unfiltered fury: Journalism's the first casualty of war—Israel's "worst enemy" label? Undeniable. Demand access, accountability; silence is complicity. Timeline: RSF's Dec 9 report caps a year of silenced voices.Dec 8-9: Jakhar's Punjab Probe Push – Bicycle MLAs to Benz Barons?BJP's Sunil Jakhar demands HC-supervised drug-money probe: "Bicycle-riding MLAs now flaunt ₹crore cars, farmhouses—from drugs/mining mafia?" Echoing Sidhu's cash claims, he offers self-scrutiny.
Sharp jab: Punjab's underbelly exposed—AAP's "war on drugs" a farce? Mann, act or admit defeat. Timeline: June letter revived Dec 9 amid Sidhu storm—corruption's web tightens.Dec 8: Coal's Job Jackpot – 74K New Roles in '24, IEA SaysIEA credits commercial mining for India's 74,000 coal jobs in 2024 (record 1 BT output), eyeing more in '25. Asia-Pacific dominates 90% global coal workforce.
Pragmatic praise: Coal's dirty, but it's feeding families amid green lag. Transition wisely—or risk unrest. Timeline: IEA's Dec 9 report spotlights FY25's billion-tonne surge.Dec 8: Telangana's MoU Marathon – ₹9,500 Cr Pharma BoomRevanth Reddy's summit nets ₹9,500 cr pharma MoUs: Biological E (₹3,500 cr, 3K jobs), Aurobindo (₹2K cr, 3K roles).

INDIA MARKET REVIEW & OUTLOOK

Dalal Street's Dismal December Dance: A Week of Whiplash and Warning SignsBuckle up, investors—India's markets just served up a week that felt like a Bollywood thriller: high drama, sharp twists, and a cliffhanger ending that leaves you questioning if the hero (or heroine, in this case, the Nifty) will bounce back or face a sequel crash. The week ended December 9, 2025, wasn't kind to bulls, with benchmark indices closing the final session in the red amid global jitters, FII outflows, and a nagging sense that the post-RBI rate-cut euphoria has fizzled faster than a Diwali firecracker. But hey, in the chaos, mid- and small-caps staged a gritty comeback, reminding us that resilience isn't just a buzzword—it's the underdog's secret weapon. Let's dissect this rollercoaster, from stock slumps to commodity conundrums, and peer into tomorrow's crystal ball.
Equities: Blue-Chips Bleed, While the Little Guys Lick Their Wounds and Rally
The Indian stock market capped a volatile week with a thud on Tuesday, December 9, at 3:30 PM IST. The Nifty 50 slinked below 25,900 to close at 25,839.65, down 120.90 points or 0.47%—a far cry from the 26,000-plus highs that had us toasting RBI's 25 bps trim just days ago. The Sensex fared no better, tumbling 436.41 points or 0.51% to 84,666.28, erasing nearly ₹1 lakh crore in market cap in a single day and capping the week with a net loss of about 1.2% for the benchmarks. This wasn't isolated—Monday's 0.86% Nifty drop set the tone, fueled by profit-booking in banks and oil stocks, while FIIs dumped ₹655 crore worth of shares, their December tally now a grim ₹11,059 crore outflow. DIIs played savior, scooping up ₹2,542 crore, but even their buying couldn't mask the fatigue: a narrow rally led by large-caps left mid- and small-caps in the dust, with 320 NSE 500 stocks still trading below peaks.

Top Gainers and Losers: Heroes and Villains of the Tape

In a market where every tick counts, standouts emerged amid the melee. Titan Company shone brightest, clawing up 2.33% to ₹3,854.90 on consumer durables' rebound—proof that bling still sells in uncertain times. Close behind: Eveready Industries (+1.24% to ₹288.80), Shriram Finance (+1.16% to ₹843.90), Adani Enterprises (+1.07% to ₹2,240), and Grasim (+0.76% to ₹2,765), with Eternal and Bharat Electronics rounding out the winners' podium. These picks screamed value in a sea of overreach.

On the flip side, Asian Paints cratered 4.29% to ₹2,802.70, dragging paints and consumer goods into the abyss—perhaps a reality check on premium pricing in a slowing economy. Tech Mahindra (-1.77% to ₹1,563.60), Wipro (-1.41% to ₹257.69), Max Healthcare (-1.35% to ₹1,064.80), and Tata Steel (-1.30% to ₹161.34) joined the losers' lounge, with IndiGo and Dr. Reddy's Labs also nursing wounds. Sectors? IT and Auto tanked 0.3-1%, while Realty, Telecom, and PSU Banks eked out 0.5-1% gains.
Turnover and Breadth: A Tale of Two Exchanges

Daily business turnover spiked on NSE, up 10% from Monday to ₹1.88 lakh crore in cash, reflecting heightened volatility as traders bet on Fed fallout. BSE clocked ₹59,062 crore, but the real story was breadth: NSE saw 377 advances vs. 2,301 declines (and 55 unchanged)—a brutal 1:6 ratio signaling broad-based pain. BSE mirrored the gloom with 904 risers against 3,250 fallers (213 flat), though its advance-decline ratio clawed back to 1.68, hinting at mid/small-cap revival. Total BSE market cap? A resilient ₹465 lakh crore, up ₹1 lakh crore despite the benchmarks' blues.

Block, Bulk, and Short-Sell Shenanigans: The Backroom Buzz

Behind the headlines, deal-making added intrigue. On NSE Cash, Astec Lifesciences stole the block deal spotlight with 155,505 shares changing hands at ₹737.56— a tidy ₹114.7 crore turnover, signaling big-player bets on agrochem recovery. Bulk deals were sparse on December 9, with no major NSE F&O or BSE Cash fireworks reported, per exchange tallies—perhaps pros holding fire ahead of Fed fireworks. Earlier in the week (Dec 2-8), Bajaj Housing Finance saw a mega ₹1,588 crore block sell by Bajaj Finance (16.66 crore shares at ₹95.31), while Exato Tech and Ganon Products notched smaller bulks (₹1.16 crore and ₹1 crore, respectively).

Short-selling data for the day? NSE's files clocked routine activity (full CSV pending), but BSE shorts targeted overvalued midcaps like Coforge (-4.17%) and Hero MotoCorp (-2.80%), amplifying the decliners' pain. Total short turnover across segments? Around ₹500 crore, per preliminary scans—bears feasting on the fear.Beyond Stocks: Commodities Crumble, Rupee Rebounds, Crypto ClingsThe week's pain wasn't equity-exclusive. Commodities on MCX ended mixed: Precious metals glinted brighter with Gold at ₹130,050 (+0.07%) and Silver leaping ₹1,578 to ₹183,320 (+0.87%), buoyed by safe-haven flows and China's buying spree. But base metals soured—Copper dipped 1.69% to ₹1,078.50 amid China slowdown fears—while energy (Crude Oil ₹5,318, -0.30%) and agri (limited data, but NCDEX grains flat) reflected global glut worries. Weekly? A net 0.5% dip across the basket, with turnover up 5% on volatility. Opinion? Commodities are the market's canary—watch for Fed ripples tomorrow.
Currency flexed some muscle: USD/INR eased to 89.88 (up 17 paise for the rupee, or -0.19%), a welcome breather from 90+ breaches, thanks to softer dollar cues and RBI vigilance. Weekly range: 89.70-90.47, with turnover steady at $100 billion—exporters grinning, importers sighing relief.
Crypto? A bloodbath for the bold: Bitcoin cratered below $90,000 (₹80.7 lakh, -1.61%), Ethereum to $3,100 (₹2.79 lakh, -0.86%), as thin liquidity and macro nerves bit hard. Global cap? $3.1 trillion, down 2%. Indian volumes on WazirX et al. halved—retail flight to safety, or just Fed FOMO?
Bonds and Money Market: Gilt yields ticked up to 6.61% on the 10Y ( +0.06%), signaling caution on inflation bets, with 30Y at 7.37%. Money market rates? Call money steady at 6.00-6.05%, term money 5.40-6.10%—RBI's liquidity tap keeping things afloat.
Funds Market: A silver lining—SIP inflows hit record ₹29,529 crore in October (latest full data), pushing AUM to ₹16.25 lakh crore (20% of industry total). Equity MFs? Up to 6% weekly returns in global funds, but domestic large-caps flat—investors doubling down on SIPs amid equity wobbles.Tomorrow's Tease: Fed's Shadow Looms Over December 10Wednesday, December 10, 2025? Expect a Fed-fueled fireworks show. Gift Nifty's 0.3% discount (25,958) screams cautious open, with Nifty eyeing 25,700-26,100 range—support at 25,850 (50-day EMA) holds the line, but a Fed hawkish surprise could crack it toward 25,535. Commodities? Gold/Silver safe-havens if yields spike; energy/base metals volatile on dollar swings. Rupee? 89.50-90.30 band, RBI ready to pounce. Crypto? BTC could rebound to $94K on dovish vibes, but liquidity's a ghost town. Bonds: Yields steady at 6.50-6.56% unless CPI (Dec 12) spooks. Funds? SIPs chug on, but pause lump sums till dust settles.
My take? This week's wobble is a gut-check, not Armageddon—overvalued midcaps needed pruning, and DII steel will shine. But with FIIs fleeing and Trump tariffs lurking , tomorrow's Fed call is make-or-break. Play defense: Load quality large-caps like Titan, eye defence stocks for value . The bull run's paused, not pummelled—stay sharp, or get sidelined. What's your move?

WORLD MARKET REVIEW & OUTLOOK

Global Markets: Fed Fever Grips the Globe as Tuesday's Tango Winds Down – A Rollercoaster of Caution and Glimmers of GreedAh, December 9, 2025 – the day the world's markets held their collective breath, eyes glued to the Federal Reserve's looming shadow like kids waiting for Santa's verdict on coal or candy. It was a Tuesday of tentative tiptoeing, not the wild stampede we'd hoped for after November's bloodbath. Equities wobbled in a narrow range, commodities flashed silver linings amid energy's slump, currencies played it safe, and crypto teased a rebound before the Fed's big reveal. Why? Blame the hawkish whispers from central banks worldwide – from the ECB's inflation jitters to Australia's rate-hike hints – all colliding with a near-certain 25bps Fed trim tomorrow. But let's not sugarcoat it: this "priced-in" cut feels like a sugar rush on a crash diet; any dovish surprise could ignite fireworks, while a hawkish pivot might torch the rally. Turnover? Tepid globally, clocking in under $100B on major exchanges, a yawn compared to last month's frenzy. Advances edged out declines by a slim 52-48 margin worldwide, per aggregated exchange data, signaling more shrugs than cheers.
We kick off our regional whirlwind from the sun-soaked South Pacific, hopping eastward to North America's neon glow. Buckle up – here's the unvarnished scorecard, laced with the block deals, bulk trades, and short squeezes that moved the needle (or didn't).South Pacific (Australia-New Zealand): Steady as She Goes, But Yields BiteDown under, markets shrugged off the RBA's "no cuts, maybe hikes" bombshell, with the ASX 200 dipping a meek 0.4% to 8,586 amid sticky inflation fears. Turnover hit AUD 4.2B, up 5% WoW, but advances (112) trailed declines (98) on the ASX – a classic risk-off vibe. Top gainer: Pilbara Minerals (PLS.ASX) surged 7.2% on lithium rebound bets; laggard: Fortescue Metals (FMG.ASX) shed 4.1% as iron ore futures waned. No major block deals surfaced, but bulk trades in mining stocks like BHP saw 2.5M shares flip at AUD 42.50 – insiders hedging the China slowdown?
Commodities leaned bearish: Ag basket (wheat down 1.2%) pressured by Australia's bumper harvest outlook; precious metals held firm with gold at AUD 4,200/oz (+0.2%); base/energy dipped as Brent slipped to $58.98/bbl (-0.3%). The AUD clawed back 0.4% to 0.6647 vs. USD on RBA hawkishness, while NZD/USD nudged 0.1% higher to 0.5750. Bonds? 10Y Aussie yields spiked to 4.16% (+7bps), echoing global jitters. Funds/ETFs: Aussie equity inflows ticked up AUD 150M, favoring miners. Crypto? BTC/AUD held $135K, mirroring global caution.
Key driver: RBA's upside inflation tilt spooked yield-chasers, but commodity exports buffered the blow. Short sells? Minimal, with only 1.2% of ASX float targeted – no fire sales here.Asia: China Shadows Loom, But Tech Sparks FlickerAsia's patchwork quilt frayed at the edges, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng cratering 1.2% to 25,765 on China price woes, while Tokyo's Nikkei eked out +0.1% to 50,655. Turnover? HKEX at HKD 120B (down 8%), TSE at JPY 3.5T (flat). Advances/declines: Nikkei 1,200 up vs. 1,000 down; Hang Seng flipped to 650 advances, 1,050 declines. Gainers: Baidu (9888.HK) popped 4% on AI spin-off buzz; losers: Pop Mart (9992.HK) tanked 8.1% on demand fears. Bulk deals lit up NSE India (part of broader Asia flows): Welspun Enterprises saw 750K shares bulked at INR 516 – a INR 38Cr bet on infra revival.
Commodities: Ag (soybeans -2% to $11/bu) hammered by Brazil's harvest tease; precious metals shone with silver hitting $60/oz (+3.1%, a YTD 107% scorcher); base metals like copper peaked at $11,771/t before easing; energy flat at WTI $58.98. Currencies: USD/JPY pierced 156 (+0.5%) on yen weakness; AUD/USD rebounded to 0.6650. Bonds/money markets: JGB yields hit records, pushing 10Y to 1.1%. Funds: Asian ETF inflows $2.3B, skewed to semis. Crypto: BTC hovered $90K, up 0.5% but volatile pre-Fed.
Blame game: China's Politburo signals underwhelmed, stoking deflation dread – a gut punch to exporters. Short sells spiked 15% in HK tech, targeting overvalued EVs.Eurasia: Russian Resilience Meets Turkish TurbulenceEurasia's wild east stayed choppy, with Russia's MOEX up 0.3% to 3,800 on oil buffers, but Turkey's BIST 100 slid 1.1% to 9,200 amid lira woes. Turnover: MOEX RUB 1.2T (up 10%); BIST TRY 25B (flat). A/D ratio: MOEX 550 advances, 450 declines; BIST reversed to 120 up, 180 down. Top gainer: Gazprom (GAZP.ME) +5.2% on energy exports; loser: Turkcell (TCELL.IS) -6.4% on regulatory heat. Block deals scarce, but bulk in Gazprom (1M shares at RUB 150) hinted at state shuffling.

Reason: Geopolitical thaw in energy deals lifted Russia, but Turkey's inflation (70% YoY) fueled selloffs. Shorts? Up 20% in Turkish banks.Middle East: Oil's Lifeline, But Geopolitics GnawsDubai's DFMGI flatlined at 4,300, Saudi's TASI dipped 0.2% to 12,000 – resilience amid Red Sea tensions.

Tomorrow's Crystal Ball: Wednesday, December 10 – Fed's Fork in the RoadEyes on the prize: Fed's 2pm ET announcement and Powell's 2:30 presser. Markets price an 89% shot at that 25bps cut , but the dot plot and rhetoric? That's the wildcard. Dovish vibes (fewer hikes in '26) could rocket S&P to 7,000, juice BTC past $95K, and lift silver/gold to fresh highs – think risk-on nirvana for Asia/Europe. Hawkish tilt? Buckle for a 1-2% equity dip, USD surge to 100, and commodity cooldown (oil sub-$55?). Commodities: Watch USDA WASDE for ag tweaks; energy eyes OPEC+ nods. Currencies: EUR/USD could test 1.17 on ECB echoes. Funds: Expect $10B+ inflows if Powell plays nice. Globally, EMs like LatAm/Africa rally on dollar weakness, while bonds steady at 4.2% yields.
Bottom line? Tomorrow's not just a decision – it's destiny. Play the dips, hedge the hawks, and remember: in markets, hope's the ultimate contrarian. What's your Fed bet?

BUSINESS BUZZ10 December 2025 | The Pulse of Power, Profit & PolicyAustralia Drops the Hammer: World’s Toughest Under-16 Social Media Ban Kicks In TodayIt’s official – millions of Australian teenagers just got locked out of Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube. The law that sailed through parliament in a lightning 48 hours is now live. Platforms face fines up to A$50 million if they don’t enforce age verification. The government calls it child protection; critics call it a nanny-state sledgehammer that will simply drive kids to VPNs and the dark web. Either way, Australia just became the first domino. Europe is watching, the US is debating, and Indian parents are quietly wishing someone here had the guts.Microsoft’s ₹1.5 Lakh Crore Love Letter to IndiaWhile everyone is busy panicking about Trump tariffs, Satya Nadella quietly dropped a bombshell: Microsoft will pump $17.5 billion into Indian cloud and AI infrastructure by 2029. Translation – we remain the world’s favourite back-office-turned-frontier for Big Tech. When the West sneezes, India still catches the cheque.IndiGo Chaos: Ministry Orders 10% Flight Cuts, CEO Summoned (Again)If you thought yesterday’s 2,000+ cancellations were peak IndiGo, buckle up. The Aviation Ministry has ordered the airline to cut 10% of its daily schedule till further notice, and CEO Pieter Elbers has been summoned – twice in a week. Crew rostering mess, fog, and zero spare aircraft have turned India’s largest carrier into a national headache. Pro tip: book Vistara or Air India for the next month if you actually want to reach your destination.IT Stocks Bleed Ahead of Fed DecisionSensex down 0.51%, Nifty down 0.47%, and the usual suspects – TCS, Infosys, Wipro – led the bloodshed. Everyone is bracing for the US Federal Reserve’s rate verdict tonight. One small rate-cut hint and we party; one “higher for longer” whisper and Thursday will be uglier than Wednesday.Rupee Watch: RBI Burning $100 Million a Minute to Defend 90?Whispers in the dealing rooms say the RBI is selling dollars at a furious pace to keep USD-INR from kissing 90. Officially, “smoothening excessive volatility.” Unofficially, the import bill (gold + gadgets + oil) is exploding, FIIs are sitting on their hands, and Trump tariff threats aren’t helping. 90 is not a question of if, but when.Adani’s ₹15,000 cr Bid for Jaiprakash Associates Heads to NCLTGautam Adani is playing real-life Monopoly again. After Dharavi, Kenyan airports and Kenyan power plants, he now wants the distressed Jaypee cement-and-real-estate empire. Creditors are smiling – someone is finally ready to pay real money instead of promising “revival plans” that never revive.Gold & Silver Party Like It’s 2021Silver smashed past $60/oz globally, gold is flirting with $4,200/oz in some quotes, and in India MCX gold futures are down only ₹1,000 from the peak because jewellers are still buying for wedding season. Moral of the story: when central banks can’t decide whether to cut or hike, hard assets laugh hardest.Bonus Buzz
  • Starlink orders still “not live” in India – that pricing page was apparently a glitch (sure, Elon).
  • Trump threatening tariffs on Indian basmati rice – India shrugs because 80% of US basmati imports are ours and American consumers will pay the extra $2 per kg, not us.
  • Netflix sent a “late-night letter” to 300 million users teasing something big – probably another price hike disguised as “new features”.
Bottom line this Wednesday: Global tech giants are betting bigger on India than ever, but Indian travellers can’t bet on reaching their flights, and Indian teenagers can still doom-scroll because – thank God – we aren’t Australia yet.
See you tomorrow. Same buzz, new chaos.

ECONOMIC EVENTS & EARNINGS

So, let us see as to how the set of economic events across the world are setting the stage for the business, economic news developments ...

ECONOMIC EVENTS and CORPORATE EARNINGS TODAYTuesday, December 9, 2025 – As the year hurtles toward its fiscal finale, the global economy isn't pulling punches. We're smack in the middle of a Fed two-day tango that could either soothe jittery markets or ignite a volatility bonfire, while a smattering of data drops from JOLTS to jobless claims remind us that labor's the real heartbeat here. Don't sleep on Asia's inflation whispers either – China's CPI could signal if the dragon's deflationary breath is finally easing, or if we're in for another round of beggar-thy-neighbor trade jabs. Opinion? This week's no Santa rally setup; high valuations and tariff ghosts are lurking, but a Fed trim might just grease the wheels for a subdued year-end pop. Buckle up, traders – here's your IST-converted roadmap through the chaos, laced with hyperlocal spice and a corporate earnings bonanza that screams "buy the dip or bail?"South Pacific: Kiwi Tourism Tease and RBA's Crystal BallKicking off down under (or over, from our IST perch), New Zealand's tourism stats hit at 7:16 PM IST, with Visitor Arrivals (MoM) clocking in at a prior 2.9% – expect a post-pandemic rebound tease, but nothing to rewrite the RBNZ's hawkish script. Hyperlocal buzz? Kiwi borders are buzzing with Aussie expats fleeing Sydney's housing squeeze, per recent migration nets showing 1,800 permanent movers last October. If arrivals beat, NZD could flirt with 0.62 USD; otherwise, it's just another yawn for carry traders.
Over in Oz, the RBA's Chart Pack drops at 1:00 AM IST (Dec 10) – think of it as the central bank's quarterly mood board. No fireworks, but watch for housing stress signals amid mortgage cliff edges. My take: RBNZ and RBA are synchronized swimmers in a pool of slowing growth; any dovish doodles here could sync with the Fed's pivot, juicing AUD/NZD crosses. Subdued, sure – but in this risk-off world, steady beats seismic.Asia: Deflation Dodges and BOJ BanterAsia's the early bird getting the worm – or the PPI punch. Japan's Machine Tool Orders (YoY Nov) lands at 6:30 AM IST, forecasted at 16.8% (prior 14.2%), a manufacturing mojo meter that's been flashing green. Then, BOJ Gov Ueda jawbones at 9:30 AM IST – expect yen-strength platitudes amid 150+ USD/JPY stubbornness. Hyperlocal heat: Tokyo's factory floors are humming with EV chip orders, but export curbs to China are the real buzzkill, per factory floor whispers.
Fast-forward to 11:30 PM IST: Reuters Tankan Index (Dec) at prior 17, gauging big-fish sentiment. Then, the midnight special – JPY PPI (YoY Nov) at 12:20 AM IST (Dec 10), steady at 2.7% forecast. Opinion: BOJ's trapped in a normalization no-man's-land; if PPI softens, yen tanks further, gifting exporters but kneecapping importers. It's the gift that keeps on giving... to speculators short the pair.
China's CPI/PPI duo (Nov) strikes at 2:00 AM IST (Dec 10): CPI YoY at 0.7% (prior 0.2%), MoM 0.3%, PPI YoY -2.0%. Beijing's been force-feeding stimulus, but factory gate deflation lingers like a bad hangover. Hyperlocal lowdown: IMF just greenlit $1.2B more for neighbor Pakistan on reform nods, a ripple that could ease regional trade frictions if Islamabad plays ball. My bold call: CPI undershoots, sparking another PBOC liquidity love-in – gold and yuan bulls, rejoice.
South Korea's Unemployment Rate (Nov) at 11:30 PM IST (prior 2.6%) rounds it out. Tight labor? Samsung's chip wars say yes. Asia's verdict: Resilient but ragged – watch for spillover to EM currencies if Uncle Sam sneezes tomorrow.EurAsia: Ruble Realities and Eurozone ExportsEurAsia's a mixed bag, starting with Russia's Budget Balance % GDP (Nov) at 11:00 AM IST (prior -2.00%). Sanctions sting, but oil windfalls keep the wolf from Putin's door. Hyperlocal: Moscow's war chest is swelling on Urals crude spikes, but black market ruble trades hint at underground tremors.
No major Middle East/Africa fireworks – quiet on the oil front pre-API, but OPEC+ whispers could amp tomorrow. Africa's sidelined too; SA's load-shedding saga simmers without data spotlights.Europe: Teutonic Trade Tango and BoE BabbleEurope wakes grumpy: German Exports/Imports/Trade Balance (Oct) at 7:30 AM IST – forecasts -0.2% MoM exports (prior 0.1%), 0.2% imports (-1.2%), balance 15.9B EUR (16.9B). Berlin's export engine sputtered on China slowdowns; if misses mount, ECB rate-cut chants crescendo. Buba's Nagel speaks at 8:30 AM IST – hawk or dove? My money's on "cautiously committed."
Spain's 3-Month Letras Auction at 10:30 AM IST (prior 1.974%) tests periphery nerves. Then, triple BoE threat at 2:45 PM IST: Mann, Dhingra, Ramsden yapping MPC vibes. Hyperlocal: London's City suits are betting on a Feb cut, per pub chatter, amid Brexit 2.0 tariff terrors.
Europe's pulse? Frail but fighting – trade data could validate ECB's "pause" folly, or force a festive Fed-follow. Skeptical take: If exports flop, DAX dives, dragging Stoxx south.Latin America & Caribbean: Siesta ModeNada major – Brazil's IP and MX's CPI tease later in the week. Hyperlocal: Caribbean tourism's booming post-hurricane rebuilds, but LatAm's EM debt daisy chain (hello, Argentina) lurks. Quiet waters, but one FX ripple and it's tsunami time.North America: Fed Fog, JOLTS Jitters, and Oil OraclesThe main event? The Fed's Dec 9-10 confab kicks off today, with Powell's powwow tomorrow at 11:00 AM ET (9:30 PM IST Dec 10). Odds scream 89.6% for a 25bps trim to 3.50-3.75%, but dot-plot doves or hawkish hints could swing trees. Hyperlocal: Trump's Pennsylvania inflation powwow today – expect "fake news Fed" barbs if rates linger high.

THE GLOBAL WRAP-UP

So, how are the sectoral news developments across the world and news-geographies shaping the global business news landscape ...

THE WORLD, AS IT IS!A raw, unfiltered, and gloriously chaotic tour of the planet on this December 10, 2025. No sugar-coating, no safe spaces—just what actually happened while you were doom-scrolling.
South Pacific

Australia just yanked the plug on every social media account belonging to anyone under 16. Overnight, millions of Aussie teens woke up to a digital dead zone. Parents cheer, teens riot, and every platform from TikTok to X is suddenly bleeding a generation Down Under. Whether it actually protects kids or just creates the world’s most sophisticated black market for fake IDs remains to be seen.

Meanwhile in Queensland courts, Indian-origin nurse Rajwinder Singh was told to “rot in hell” by the family of Toyah Cordingley after he was sentenced to life for stabbing the 24-year-old woman 26 times on a beach in 2018. And across the Tasman in New Zealand, another Indian-origin Uber driver, Satwinder Singh, begins 7+ years behind bars for raping a teenage passenger while claiming Kiwi women are “promiscuous.” The South Pacific is having a very ugly moment with certain immigrants.
Asia

Thailand and Cambodia are bombing each other again over the same damn 900-year-old temple that’s caused wars since Angkor Wat was new. Bangkok launched airstrikes after border clashes; Phnom Penh vows “fierce fight.” Southeast Asia’s longest-running historical grudge match is officially back on.

In Jakarta, a fire ripped through a drone-tech company’s seven-storey office building, killing at least 22 and leaving bodies charred beyond recognition. Japan is still counting the cost of yesterday’s 7.5-magnitude earthquake—34 injured, tsunami warnings, and a nation once again reminded that the Pacific Ring of Fire never sleeps.
China executed former banker Bai Tianhui for pocketing $156 million in bribes—because nothing says “anti-corruption campaign” like a bullet to the head. And in a story that could only happen in 2025, a woman rescued as an 11-year-old from the 2008 Sichuan earthquake rubble just married the soldier who pulled her out. Somewhere the Hallmark Channel is crying it didn’t get the rights.
EurAsia

Trump is openly telling Zelensky to sign whatever Putin puts in front of him because “Russia has the upper hand.” Zelensky fires back that the U.S. isn’t ready to see Ukraine in NATO and he’s ready for elections—if someone can guarantee security while Russian artillery is still falling. A British serviceman is now confirmed KIA inside Ukraine. Europe is panicking that Trump will actually abandon Kyiv, leaving the continent holding a $200 billion tab and a Russian border 300 km closer.

Lithuania declared an emergency because Belarus keeps sending balloons over the border (yes, actual balloons—2025 is wild). Russia’s last flyable An-22 heavy transport crashed and burned, probably ending the 1950s turboprop’s career forever.
Middle East

Saudi Arabia just started selling alcohol to non-Muslim expats—but only if you earn over $5,300 a month and can show your salary slip at the liquor store. Nothing screams “Vision 2030” like means-tested gin.

Netanyahu is bragging to the Knesset about his phone buddies Modi, Trump and Putin while Israeli troops raided UNRWA’s East Jerusalem headquarters and swapped the UN flag for an Israeli one. Yemen’s southern separatists, backed by UAE money, just seized huge chunks of the country, raising the very real possibility the Saudi war there ends with Yemen splitting in two. And Qatar and Saudi Arabia—bitter enemies five years ago—just signed a high-speed rail deal to link Riyadh and Doha in two hours. Irony is free, high-speed rail is not.
Africa

Benin foiled a coup attempt that left several dead and the ringleader on the run. In Sudan, the Rapid Support Forces just captured the country’s largest oil field—because nothing stabilises a civil war like seizing the only thing keeping the lights on.

Europe

French MPs rammed through a brutal 2026 social-security budget while the country burns. The EU slapped Elon Musk’s X with a €120 million fine, prompting Trump to sneer that “Europe is going in some very bad directions.” Germany’s likely next chancellor Friedrich Merz says Europe must become “less dependent on the United States.” When even the Germans are saying that, you know the trans-Atlantic marriage is on the rocks.

Latin America / Caribbean

Haiti’s capital saw dozens slaughtered as gunmen broke away from the main gang coalition—because apparently even Haitian gangs have factional drama now.

Venezuela’s opposition heroine María Corina Machado had her Nobel Peace Prize press conference cancelled by the Nobel Institute itself the day before the ceremony. The regime in Caracas is popping champagne.
North America

Trump is throwing $12 billion at farmers crushed by his own tariffs, threatening Mexico with another 5% tariff over a 1944 water treaty, revoking 85,000 visas, postponing H-1B appointments for “social media review,” and planning an executive order to block states from regulating AI. His former lawyer Alina Habba just resigned as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey after a court basically said she was unqualified.

Canada, desperate for doctors, just opened a new Express Entry category for foreign physicians—while quietly hoping Trump doesn’t notice and slap tariffs on stethoscopes next.
And in the weirdest immigration story of the day, NYC’s socialist mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced he’s moving into the $100 million Gracie Mansion… for “family safety.” Nothing says “man of the people” like trading your rent-stabilised apartment for a 11,000-sq-ft palace on the taxpayers’ dime.
The world, as it is, is on fire, drunk, bankrupt, at war, and somehow still finding time to argue about teenagers on TikTok and whether you need a salary slip to buy vodka in Riyadh.
Welcome to Wednesday.

THE INDIA WRAP-UP

So, how are the sectoral news developments across the Nation (India) shaping the business news landscape of the nation ...

THE INDIA STORYA Week of Tech Triumphs, Turbulent Ties, and Tenacious TurmoilIn the relentless churn of India's narrative, where ambition collides with adversity, the past seven days have painted a vivid portrait of a nation sprinting toward tomorrow while grappling with yesterday's shadows. From Silicon Valley's Silicon dreams to the shadowed alleys of political intrigue, December 2025 has been a whirlwind—proof that India's story is never one of stasis, but of audacious leaps and unyielding resolve. As fog blankets the north and cyclones recede in the south, the pulse of progress beats louder, even as the echoes of division linger. Let's rewind the reel, starting with the headlines that lit up the wires just hours ago.
December 10, 2025: Tech's Golden Hour Dawns

Barely an hour old, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's jubilant nod to Microsoft's colossal Rs 1.5 lakh crore investment in India feels like the opening act of a blockbuster. "Youth of India will harness this opportunity," he proclaimed, envisioning a generation wielding AI not as a tool, but as a superpower. This isn't just capital—it's a catalyst, promising jobs, innovation, and a digital renaissance that could eclipse even the IT boom of the '90s. Mere hours earlier, an immigration attorney warned of "devastating" ripple effects from H-1B visa cancellations, urging Indian talent to "work from India" amid US economic tremors. Irony abounds: as America tightens its gates, India beckons its prodigals home, fortified by deals like this. In the same breath, Intel's CEO Lip-Bu Tan reaffirmed commitment to the India Semiconductor Mission, a nod to self-reliance that screams, "We're not just playing catch-up; we're redefining the game." And with India-US talks ramping up on defence, tech, and trade—featuring whispers of Donald Trump's shadow—it's clear: New Delhi's strategic courtship with Washington is yielding dividends, even if tariffs loom like storm clouds. Trump's fresh threat of rice duties? A blip—India's basmati empire, worth $392 million to the US last year, shrugs it off, with experts quipping that American shoppers, not Punjabi farmers, will foot the bill. This is India's edge: diversified, resilient, and ready to pivot.

Yet, amid the optimism, cracks appear. A US-bound flight from Hyderabad airport received a bomb threat demanding $1 million, underscoring the persistent shadow of terror. And in Ladakh, a Chinese tourist's "innocent" jaunt through CRPF deployments sparked security jitters— a reminder that borders blur, but vigilance doesn't.
December 9, 2025: Shadows of Security and Solidarity

The day's undercurrent was unease, laced with resolve. The NIA's arrest of a Baramulla doctor for harbouring a Red Fort suicide bomber peeled back layers of a Delhi blast plot, while another medic fell in the same net—evidence destruction alleged in the Dr. Umar harbouring saga. Kashmir's duality shone through: two J&K craftsmen received National Awards from the President, a quiet nod to cultural resilience amid India-Pakistan tensions. Meanwhile, Belgium's supreme court crushed Mehul Choksi's extradition appeal, paving the way for the fugitive's return to face India's justice— a win for accountability in the endless saga of economic offenders.
Humanity bridged divides elsewhere. Bangladesh repatriated 47 Indian fishermen in a humanitarian swap, with India releasing 32 in return—a small but symbolic thaw in maritime frictions. In Sri Lanka, Operation Sagar Bandhu surged forward: four more Indian Navy ships delivered 1,000 tonnes of relief post-Cyclone Ditwah, countering China's leverage with India's healing touch. "As a close friend, we stand firm," echoed the sentiment from New Delhi, where a mobile field hospital and 70 medics landed amid the island's grief.
Domestically, the Supreme Court's stern rap on Bengal's SIR chaos—"anarchy can't be allowed"—demanded Centre's reply on securing BLOs from threats, flagging a nationwide voter-roll purge fraught with peril. Rahul Gandhi's Lok Sabha salvo accused the EC of BJP collusion, demanding EVM access and CCTV retention— a fiery call for electoral transparency that had the House erupting. And in a quirky twist, suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir's Babri Masjid appeal in Bengal flooded calls to his namesake, turning a political firestorm into inadvertent farce.
December 8, 2025: Parliament's Passion Plays

Echoes of nationalism reverberated through Parliament's halls on Vande Mataram's 150th anniversary. PM Modi hailed it as a "rock against British oppression," igniting a bipartisan debate laced with barbs—Amit Shah slamming Nehru's "truncation" as partition's seed, while Priyanka Gandhi Vadra decried it as Bengal poll fodder. Rahul Gandhi framed electoral reform as a bulwark against "vote chori," urging machine-readable lists and ECI accountability. The session cleared the pan masala cess Bill, channeling revenues to health and security— a fiscal jab at demerit goods, though Opposition cried fiscal overreach.

Kerala's local body polls hummed with 70.9% turnout in Phase 1, a democratic pulse check amid Vijay's TVK rallying cries against DMK ahead of 2026 TN battles. In Karnataka, the High Court recalled its menstrual leave stay, greenlighting one paid day monthly—progressive, yet sparking whispers of implementation woes.
December 7, 2025: Ground-Level Grit

Everyday India fought back. A Lucknow woman's chilling confession—slitting her live-in partner's throat after he "eyed" her daughter—exposed domestic horrors, her CCTV vigil a desperate shield. In Kerala's actor assault saga, Dileep's acquittal spotlighted celeb lawyer Raman Pillai's courtroom wizardry, reigniting debates on justice's blind spots. Telangana's Rising Summit sealed Rs 5.75 lakh crore deals, Bhatti Vikramarka hailing it as a growth blueprint— from Chenna Reddy to Revanth Reddy, film-friendly CMs fueling the engine.
RBI's Sanjay Malhotra urged banks to tech-up and trim costs in easing cycles, a pragmatic push for financial agility. Yet, Bengaluru's black soldier fly gambit against garbage woes hinted at bio-innovations tackling urban rot.
December 6, 2025: Echoes of the Past

The Babri shadow loomed as Kabir's mosque foundation in Murshidabad drew ire—BJP branding it "Hindu intimidation," TMC suspending him amid polarisation fears. In TN, Vijay's TVK rescheduled an Erode rally, attacking BJP while praising Puducherry's CM—2026's battle lines sharpening.
A Chinese tourist's Ladakh escapade through sensitive zones sparked espionage alarms, while a Hyderabad flight's bomb hoax demanded millions—routine threats in an asymmetric world.
December 5, 2025: Weather's Wrath and Wins

IMD's cold wave alert gripped north India—dense fog, dipping mercury—while Bengaluru pondered soldier flies for waste wars. Crackdowns widened on illegal Bangladeshi-Rohingya workers in UP cities, a nod to border security. Gold thefts and drunken brawls marred the mundane: Rs 20 lakh ornaments burgled, a 45-year-old slain in Kappalur.
Yet, Nagpur-Chandrapur expressway's green light promised connectivity leaps. And in Madurai, a temple lamp row summoned top officials, fuelling impeachment murmurs against Justice GR Swaminathan—judicial bias or secular zeal?
December 4, 2025: Fractured Alliances

Navjot Kaur Sidhu's "Rs 500 crore for CM" barb suspended her from Punjab Congress, igniting graft charges and high-command whispers. "70% workers with me," she claimed, vowing no truck with "thieves"—a family feud threatening Rahul's revival bid.

SC's CAA voter-roll plea ruling: "First citizenship, then votes"—a procedural firewall amid Bengal's SIR strife. And in Sri Lanka, IAF choppers bid farewell post-relief, Operation Sagar Bandhu's touch lingering.The Bigger Picture: India's Unyielding ArcThis week's tapestry—from Microsoft's munificence to Modi's reform rallying cry ("No more 40-page forms! We're on the Reform Express")—reveals a India in flux, fierce and forward. Humanitarian heft in Sri Lanka outshines China's chequebook; tech inflows defy visa vicissitudes. Yet, UAPA bail pleas for Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam drag on, a stark reminder of liberty's fragile thread. Electoral shadows—SIR's disenfranchisement fears, Rahul's "anti-national vote chori" charge—test democracy's mettle.
Opinionated take? India's story isn't flawless; it's ferocious. Polarisation peddlers like Kabir peddle division for dollars, but the youth—hailed by Modi as AI architects—will script the sequel. As cold waves bite and cyclones fade, one truth endures: Bharat's beat is bold, unbreakable. What's your chapter in this saga?

THE GUJARAT WRAP-UP

So, now let us have a bird's eye view on how are the news developments across the State of Gujarat in India [which happens to be the home-state of DATELINE GUJARAT (#DLG+2)] is shaping the news landscape of the state, which is one of the economic engines of the nation ...

THE GUJARAT CHAPTERDecember 10, 2025 | An unapologetic, high-octane daily dispatch from India’s most restless state
If Gujarat were a stock, the ticker would be flashing neon green one minute and blood-red the next, because that’s exactly how this state rolls: audacious ambition colliding head-on with old-fashioned street crime, solar rooftops blooming while cyber-thieves empty bank accounts before the chai gets cold. Welcome to another manic 24 hours in the Gujarat Chapter.
9 Dec, 22:22 – While the rest of India was switching off the lights, Ahmedabad-headquartered Rasayan India Ltd quietly dropped a $150 million bomb: it’s acquiring a US-based specialty chemical entity. That’s not pocket change; that’s Gujarat Inc. flexing its global muscles yet again, buying American assets the way Delhi buys firecrackers before Diwali.
21:30 – Barely an hour earlier, the same state that produces tycoons served up a brutal reminder that it also breeds suckers. A Gujarat businessman lost ₹26 crore in a cyber scam; police rounded up seven suspects faster than you can say “OTP mat dena”. Moral of the story: the same Gujarati brain that builds billion-dollar empires apparently melts when a fake FedEx caller promises “your US visa is ready”.
20:04 – SteamHouse India, another Gujarat upstart, refiled papers for a ₹425 crore IPO. The street is already salivating. One in five Gujarat investors traded in October – highest participation ratio in the country. Translation: while the rest of India watches reels, Gujaratis are busy turning pocket money into portfolios.
19:19 – Gujarat and Maharashtra together hog almost 60% of installed capacity under PM Surya Ghar Yojana. Rooftop solar isn’t a fad here; it’s becoming the new religion. And today Solarworld Energy surged after signing a BESPA to develop battery energy storage systems in the state. Green, gritty, and greedy for growth – vintage Gujarat.
18:26 – 11:07** – Enter Arvind Kejriwal, landing in Rajkot like a monsoon storm. He was denied permission to meet jailed farmers, promptly declared the Hadala agitation will morph into a full-blown “BJP Quit Gujarat” movement, and crowed that AAP is now the “real alternative”. The BJP, unfazed, probably just rolled its eyes and went back to counting IPO cheques.
17:39 – Meanwhile, the same “anti-poor” Gujarat government that Kejriwal loves to trash handed free electricity connections to over 10 lakh poor families under Jhumpda Vijalikaran Yojana. Politics in this state is less ideology and more theatrical irony.
13:04 – At the Vibrant Gujarat pre-summit curtain-raiser, the tourism department promised to turn Shivrajpur beach into the next big thing. Because nothing says “Vibrant” like another pristine coastline handed over to five-star resorts and selfie points.
08:33 – In a rare breather for the minority community, the Gujarat State Waqf Tribunal extended Umeed scheme registrations by six months. Small mercy in a state where such headlines usually trend in the opposite direction.
07:27 – Justice prevailed when the Gujarat High Court ruled that an ex-serviceman who took voluntary retirement is still entitled to disability pension tax exemption. A quiet but massive win for thousands of forgotten veterans.
Yesterday’s lingering echoes

Tatas confirmed they’ll manufacture chips and laptops for Intel in Gujarat (and Assam), proving once again that if the world wants hardware, it eventually knocks on Narendra Modi’s old turf. Khadi sales crossed ₹1,700 crore in three years – Gandhi would be proud, and a little stunned at the pricing. Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi chaired “Operation Mule Hunt” to crack down on money-laundering accounts, because apparently even mules need to be Gujarati these days. And in a grim footnote, the High Court granted bail to the cardiologist in the Khyati hospital deaths case – justice crawls, grief doesn’t.

The Bottom Line

Gujarat doesn’t do boring. One day you’re acquiring American companies and filing half-billion-rupee IPOs, the next you’re losing ₹26 crore to a WhatsApp scammer who sounds suspiciously like your maasi. Solar panels on every roof, semiconductor fabs on the drawing board, tourists incoming, politicians screaming, courts correcting, cops hunting mules, and Kejriwal dreaming of 2027.

This isn’t just a state. It’s a full-blown daily soap opera with a $400-billion economy and zero chill.
Stay tuned. The Gujarat Chapter never sleeps – it only reloads.

THE WEATHER WRAP-UP

Last, but not least and as important as food, water, clothing and internet the four basic human needs are, is weather, so let us take a look at what are the weather cocks indicating and scan the important headlines across the world in weather space ...

THE WEATHER WRATH
December 10, 2025 – Mother Nature isn't just knocking anymore; she's kicking down the door with a vengeance. Call it climate chaos, cosmic payback, or simply the planet's overdue tantrum—whatever your flavor of doom-scrolling, the global weather machine is spinning wildly out of control. From the sodden streets of the UK to the battered olive groves of Greece, floods, storms, and twisters are rewriting landscapes and upending lives in a symphony of destruction. And here's the gut punch: this isn't isolated bad luck. It's a timeline of terror, a relentless cascade of "what's next?" that demands we stop pretending and start reckoning. Buckle up as we rewind through the last 24 hours of wrath, because if this doesn't wake us up, nothing will.
Just two hours ago, the first drips of dread fell across Ireland as Caution urged as rain arrives, with officials in a frantic scramble to head off the obvious: more water on already waterlogged ground. It's the appetizer to the apocalypse, a polite warning from Met Eireann that the skies are done playing nice. If you're in Dublin or beyond, grab the wellies—because the main course is barreling in.Hot on its heels, three hours back, Storm Bram unleashed its full fury on the UK, turning commuter dreams into nightmares with flooding and travel disruption that's got roads resembling rivers and airports eyeing cancellations. Picture this: families stranded, semis hydroplaning, and that one guy in a poncho yelling about "global warming hoax" while his tent floats away. Bram's not subtle; it's a battering ram of biblical proportions, and it's only getting started.Speaking of stranded souls, five hours ago brought a heartbreaking gut-check from eastern Ukraine, where Russian strikes obliterated a vital dam—once Kharkiv's literal "road of life"—leaving some 13,000 in peril and 3,500 too vulnerable to flee on their own. This isn't just weather; it's weaponized H2O, a man-made multiplier to nature's cruelty that floods homes and hope alike. In a war zone already scarred by shells, the deluge is the cruelest twist, reminding us that when geopolitics collides with gales, the innocent pay the flood price.Back across the Channel, three hours ago saw the M8 near Edinburgh grind to a halt thanks to a fallen tree courtesy of Storm Bram, sparking severe delays that turned a quick jaunt into an all-day slog. It's the petty tyrant of storms: one rogue oak, and suddenly Scotland's arteries are clogged. Commuters, spare a thought for the irony—rushing through rain only to be felled by foliage.Rewind to 14 hours ago, and the heartland of America got a visceral reminder of twister terror, with homes severely damaged by a tornado tearing through town . Roofs ripped off, lives upended—this isn't cinematic; it's carnage. In an era of "thoughts and prayers" fatigue, these funnel clouds scream for smarter building codes and less denial about the warming winds fueling them.Thirteen hours prior, Ireland's forecasters at Met Eireann dropped a bombshell with their Storm Bram forecast, pinpointing the "eye of the beast's" peak rage and whispering of a potential red warning. It's like staring down a Category 5 cocktail of wind and water, with gusts primed to peel paint and flood fears. If red means "run," then yellow was yesterday's joke—brace, folks, because this beast bites.Six hours ago, the Mediterranean joined the melee as a tornado ravaged olive groves in Zakros , shredding centuries-old trees in Crete like confetti. Greece, the cradle of democracy, now cradles devastation: livelihoods lost in a whirlwind that mocks our fragile grip on the land. Olives aren't just fruit; they're heritage. Watching them whirl away? That's a bitter harvest of neglect.Nine hours back, Iraq's Sulaimani province drowned in major flooding , lashing infrastructure with significant damage that turned bustling bazaars into boating hazards. In a region parched by conflict and drought, this sudden surge is a cruel irony—too much, too late, and all at once. Rescue teams wade through waist-deep woes, but the real flood is of frustration: why are we still reacting instead of preventing?Ten hours ago, Scotland's North-East reeled as Aberdeen rail services faced delays amid Storm Bram's 70mph howls, stranding passengers in a wind-whipped limbo. Trains halted, tempers flared—it's the unglamorous grind of storm life, where "on time" becomes a fairy tale. Bram's gales aren't just gusts; they're gridlock generators, exposing how threadbare our transit threads really are.Thirteen hours earlier, Al Jazeera's boots-on-the-ground report from Indonesia's Aceh Tamiang painted a grim portrait of flood survivors facing new dangers , where receding waters reveal rot, disease, and despair. These aren't stats; they're stories of families foraging in filth, a stark spotlight on how the Global South bears the brunt of our collective carbon sins. If the West's Bram is a blip, Aceh's deluge is the dirge.Twelve hours ago, Thailand's North got hammered as floods hit with streams overflowing and roads closing , submerging villages in a seasonal scourge that's anything but seasonal anymore. Monsoon madness on steroids, choking supply lines and sparking evacuations—it's a watery wake-up that borders don't bind this beast.And capping our grim reel, 19 hours ago, the UK braced for the brunt as Storm Bram issued flood warnings for 21 areas with 85mph winds primed to pummel the nation. From Cornwall to Caithness, the alerts were a starting gun for soggy suffering, a prelude to the pandemonium we've chronicled. Twenty-one zones? That's not a warning; that's a war zone declaration.So, what’s the verdict in this deluge of despair? This timeline isn't random rain—it's a red alert on repeat, a global gag reel where humanity plays the fool. Storms like Bram, twisters in tornado alley, floods from Ukraine to Indonesia: they're the fever spikes of a feverish Earth, amplified by our emissions and indifference. Policymakers, dither no more—pour funds into resilient infrastructure, not excuses. Citizens, demand it, because next time, the wrath might wash up on your doorstep. The skies are speaking; let's not wait for the thunderclap to listen. Stay dry, stay angry, and for god's sake, vote with the planet in mind. The forecast? More fury—unless we rewrite the script.

WEATHER FEATHERLast 24 Hours: A Global Tantrum in Teal and TempestKicking off Down Under in the South Pacific, New Zealand shivered under a crisp 15°C (59°F) blanket with misty rains—cozy for hobbit hikes, but a rude awakening for summer dreams—while Australia baked in a brutal 35°C (95°F) scorcher laced with wild storms across the outback, proving Mother Nature's got a fiery grudge against barbecues.
Asia simmered in humid haze, Tokyo at a sticky 12°C (54°F) with drizzles mocking cherry-less winters, and Beijing's smoggy chill dipping to 2°C (36°F), where coal fumes danced with frost—efficiency's cold shoulder to eco-vows.
Eurasia? Siberia's eternal freeze held at -15°C (5°F), winds howling like Siberian wolves, while Central Asia's steppes baked a deceptive 8°C (46°F) under deceptive sun—nomads bundling up for that inevitable bite.
Middle East roasted defiantly: Dubai's 25°C (77°F) shimmered with sand-swept gusts, a luxurious lounge in the global chill, though Jerusalem's 10°C (50°F) fog whispered uneasy truces amid ancient stones.
Africa split the difference—Cape Town's mild 22°C (72°F) surfed sunny swells, a postcard paradise, but Nairobi's equatorial 18°C (64°F) thundershowers turned safaris into splashy adventures, lions looking mildly annoyed.
Europe played coy: London's balmy 12°C (54°F) cleared to blue skies, Parisians pretending it's eternal spring, but Moscow's -5°C (23°F) snow flurries buried boulevards—Vodka's perfect alibi for the slide.

Arctic gripped -30°C (-22°F), vortex teasing escapes; Antarctic's South Pole idled at -27°C (-17°F), endless sun mocking the isolation.
India? Delhi's foggy 19°C (66°F) day (9°C/48°F night) choked with winter smog—diwali's smoky hangover—while Gujarat's Ahmedabad glowed sunny at 30°C (86°F) dropping to 18°C (64°F), a desert rose in the subcontinent's chill.Next 24 Hours Forecast: Chill's Encore, Heat's EncoreSouth Pacific redux: NZ's 16°C (61°F) mists linger for introspective rambles; Aus storms brew hotter at 36°C (97°F)—stay hydrated, mates, or become barbie fuel.
Asia holds humid: Tokyo 13°C (55°F) drips persist, Beijing -1°C (30°F) ices over—fortify the Great Wall against slips.
Eurasia deepens: Siberia -18°C (0°F) howls louder; Central Asia's 7°C (45°F) sun fades to flurries—pack the borscht.
Middle East basks: Dubai 26°C (79°F) gleams on; Jerusalem 11°C (52°F) fogs thicken—history's hazy veil.
Africa contrasts: Cape Town 23°C (73°F) beams brighter; Nairobi 19°C (66°F) storms slacken—game on.
Europe's tease: London 13°C (55°F) sunnier still; Moscow -8°C (18°F) snows heavier—embrace the Cossack slide.
Latin America's sway: Rio 29°C (84°F) heats up; Peru peaks 4°C (39°F)—layer for the llama lounge.
Caribbeans croon: Havana 28°C (82°F) breezes freshen—fiesta forecast.
Northern America fractures: Mexico 21°C (70°F) clears; US NW floods ease to 11°C (52°F) drips, Midwest snows 15cm more at -4°C (25°F) in Chi-town (bunker down, bears), Canada -12°C (10°F) bites harder. Arctic plunges -35°C (-31°F), vortex splitting for continental cameos; Antarctic steady -28°C (-18°F), sun's relentless spotlight.
India fogs on: Delhi 20°C (68°F) hazy (10°C/50°F eve)—masks mandatory. Gujarat? Ahmedabad's 30°C (86°F) sunny streak to 18°C (64°F)—Gandhi's ghost approves the warmth.
Global verdict: Winter's whispering "not yet," but the poles scream "always"—bundle up, world, or let the feathers fly.
