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.

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.

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.

INDIA MARKET REVIEW & OUTLOOK
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.
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.

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?
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%).

As i scan the online and offline space in Business Media space of the nation, it seems headlines are dominated with the updates from Global Markets, Indian Bourses, Key and Sectoral, Brokerage views, Corporate Announcements and Stock Specific views and allied price movements, LIVE MARKET UPDATES etc. which can very well be read in the INDIA BUSINESS NEWSWIRES and WORLD BUSINESS NEWSWIRES, as well.

- 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”.
See you tomorrow. Same buzz, new chaos.
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 ...
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.
Data deluge: NFIB Small Biz Optimism (Nov) at 11:30 AM IST (98.4 fcst, 99.0 prior) – Main Street's mood? Grumpy on regs. ADP Weekly Employment Change at 1:45 PM IST (prior 4.75K) – payroll proxy pre-Friday NFP.
Redbook YoY at 2:25 PM IST (5.7% prior), then the biggie: JOLTS Job Openings (Oct) at 3:30 PM IST (7.200M fcst, 7.670M prior Sep) – quits signal cooling? Leading Index MoM (Sep) -0.3% echo chamber.
EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook & WASDE Report at 5:30 PM IST, 10-Year Note Auction at 6:30 PM IST (4.175% prior), and API Crude Stocks ~7:01 PM IST (-1.7M fcst, -2.48M prior). Oil's volatile vixen – API beats could buck WTI toward $75.
North America's narrative: Labor's loosening, but resilient enough for soft landing cheers. Opinion: JOLTS undershoot sparks "recession whisper" sells; auction yields spike if bonds balk at deficits. Fed's the fulcrum – trim and markets moon; hold and bloodbath.Worldwide Corporate Earnings: Retail Resilience Meets Tech TeasesEarnings aren't just US-centric today – it's a global grab-bag of guidance gold. Kicking off pre-market: AutoZone (AZO) drops Q1 at BMO, EPS $31.04 actual vs $32.87 fcst, rev $4.63B vs $4.64B – same-store sales popped 4.8% domestic, but margins squeezed by LIFO ghosts. Auto parts? Recession-proof, baby – buy on the dip.
Ferguson (FERG) Q1: EPS $2.84 vs $2.97, rev $8.2B beat $8.09B. Plumbing powerhouse amid housing headwinds. Ashtead Group (ASHTY) Q1: $4.67 vs $4.69, $2.96B rev. Equipment rental's steady eddy.Post-market fireworks: Casey's (CASY) Q2 EPS fcst $5.18, rev $4.5B – Midwest gas 'n' grub, inflation's unlikely hero. AeroVironment (AVAV) Q2 $0.79 EPS, $470M rev – drone darling amid geopol growls.
Euro flavor: Thyssenkrupp (TKAMY) ADR: EPS $1.2 smash $0.24 fcst, €9.62B rev. Steel's comeback kid? Lufax (LU) China fintech: $0.34 EPS fcst, 10.32B CNY rev – P2P lending's phoenix rise.
Retail rodeo: GameStop (GME) meme-madness EPS $0.18 fcst, $894M rev – apes apoplectic? Core & Main (CNM) infra play $0.74 EPS beat, $2.06B rev. Campbell's (CPB) Q1: $0.77 adj EPS (down 13%), $2.7B sales – soup's on, but organic dip 1%. Snacks slump? Blame the salads.More: Ollie's (OLLI) $0.73 EPS, $614M rev; Korn Ferry (KFY) $1.31 EPS beat; Academy Sports (ASO) $1.07 EPS; Braze (BRZE) $0.06; G-III Apparel (GIII) $1.6 EPS. Laggards like Dave & Buster's (PLAY) -$1.04 fcst, Cracker Barrel (CBRL) -$0.68.
Global gist: 60%+ S&P beats so far, but Q4 EPS hikes modest at 1-2%. Opinion: Retail's rugged – holiday hints in Casey's convos could spark sector spins. Tech teases tomorrow (Oracle, Adobe), but today's under-the-radar: Toll Brothers (TOL) FY25 close: $13.49 EPS (down from $15.01), $10.8B rev record, but Q4 $4.58 miss on apartment sale delay. Housing's half-full glass.
Wrap: December 9's a prelude to Fed frenzy – data's directional, earnings earnest. Position for the pivot, not the panic. What's your play? Drop it below. Tomorrow: Powell's pearls. Stay sharp.
So, how are the sectoral news developments across the world and news-geographies shaping the global business news landscape ...
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.
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.
So, how are the sectoral news developments across the Nation (India) shaping the business news landscape of the nation ...
December 10, 2025: Tech's Golden Hour Dawns
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.
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
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
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.
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
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?
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 ...
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.
Stay tuned. The Gujarat Chapter never sleeps – it only reloads.
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 ...
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.
Latin America lounged languid: Rio's 28°C (82°F) sizzled with beach vibes, but Andean peaks in Peru chilled to 5°C (41°F), where altitude mocks the equator's warmth.
Caribbeans? Pure tease at 27°C (81°F) in Havana, balmy breezes flirting with trade winds—rum's best friend, regret's worst enemy.
Northern America? A split-personality saga: Mexico City's 20°C (68°F) fogged with urban mist, US Pacific Northwest drowned in atmospheric river fury (10°C/50°F rains flooding Seattle's tech utopias—irony's wet slap), Midwest clippers dumped 10-20cm snow at -2°C (28°F) in Chicago (polar plunge for the Windy City), while Canada's prairies froze at -10°C (14°F), Toronto's lake-effect laughs turning to shivers. 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.
