Stock Markets Start Firm As Rupee Weakens, Sensex Opens Above 84,700, Nifty Tests 25,900

The Indian benchmark indices opened higher amid rupee weakness on Wednesday as the Sensex started trade at 84,735.59 or 55 points higher and the Nifty opened trade at 25,871.60, up by more than 11 points at 9:15 AM. In the 30-share BSE Sensex, among the top gainers were stocks such as the State Bank of India, Eternal, Axis Bank and Maruti. Meanwhile, the laggards included stocks like Adani Ports, Sun Pharmaceuticals, Bharat Electronics, Trent and HDFC Bank. In the broader markets, the Nifty India FPI 150 and the Nifty 100 gained 0.22 per cent each and the Nifty Microcap 250 fell 0.18 per cent. Sectorally, the Nifty PSU Bank rose 1 per cent and the Nifty Chemicals index tumbled 0.46 per cent. In the pre-open session, around 9:01 AM, the Sensex was trading above 84,672 or 7 points lower and the Nifty was trading above 25,962 or 102 points lower. The Gift Nifty was also trading at 25,917.50 or over 35 points lower at 8:42 AM on Wednesday. In the previous session, the Sensex fell over 533 points to settle at 84,679 and the Nifty declined more than 167 points to settle at a week's low of 25,860. Rupee Slide Weighs on Market Sentiment Indian equities slipped into negative territory as continued weakness in the rupee and sustained foreign fund outflows unsettled investors. The domestic currency breached fresh record lows, crossing 91 against the US dollar and touching 91.14 in intra-day trade on Tuesday, driven largely by persistent selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs). “Continued INR weakness to fresh record lows, driven by persistent FII outflows and subdued global sentiments, dragged domestic markets into negative territory,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research at Geojit Investments Limited. Risk-Off Mood Triggers Broad Selling The breach of the 91 level against the dollar raised fresh macroeconomic concerns, reinforcing a risk-averse mood in the markets. Weak cues from Asia further added to global uncertainty, prompting investors to pare exposure and lock in profits across sectors. “This combination prompted investors to reduce risk, triggering broad-based profit-booking, particularly across realty, financial services, metal and IT names,” said Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, an online trading and wealth tech firm. Global Cues Add to Pressure Global markets offered little support. Brent crude, the international oil benchmark, fell 1.54 per cent to USD 59.63 per barrel. Asian markets ended sharply lower, with South Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei 225, Shanghai’s SSE Composite and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng all closing in the red. European markets were trading mixed, while US equities ended lower on Monday. Institutional Flows Remain Mixed On the flows front, FIIs continued to offload equities, selling shares worth Rs 1,468.32 crore on Monday, according to exchange data. In contrast, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) provided some support, buying stocks worth Rs 1,792.25 crore during the session.

Trump orders blockade of Venezuelan oil tankers: Oil prices jump; supply risks rise

Donald Trump has ordered a complete blockade of Venezuelan oil tankers, escalating geopolitical tensions. This move, aimed at pressuring President Maduro, could disrupt significant supply and potentially lift crude prices. While the market is currently well-supplied, prolonged enforcement of the blockade might lead to higher oil prices, impacting global markets already concerned about weak demand.

Brown University Shooting: New FBI Footage Shows Suspected Shooter Surveying Campus

Brown University Shooting: New FBI Footage Shows Suspected Shooter Surveying Campus

US authorities have stepped up efforts to identify the gunman behind the deadly Brown University shooting, releasing a newly compiled timeline video and a clearer image of the suspect. The intensified push comes after investigators freed a previously detained “person of interest,” leaving the case without a confirmed suspect even as pressure mounts from a shaken campus community and the wider public. FBI Releases New Visual Evidence The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday made public a detailed timeline video designed to trace the suspect’s movements before the shooting. Alongside it, investigators released a sharper image believed to show the man responsible, hoping the visuals will prompt new leads from the public, as per a report on NDTV. To accelerate the search, the FBI has announced a reward of $50,000 for information that leads to the suspect’s identification and arrest. Law enforcement teams continue to scour Providence neighborhoods near Brown University, searching homes, yards, alleys, and even dumpsters for discarded evidence. Authorities have repeatedly urged anyone with information — no matter how small — to contact either the FBI or Providence Police. ENHANCED VIDEO: We are releasing an enhanced video of the person of interest in the Brown University incident. Footage was captured on the East Side of Providence on Saturday afternoon before the incident.Please share widely and contact the official tip line if you have… pic.twitter.com/mewBSflOiO — Providence Police (@ProvidenceRIPD) December 16, 2025 Surveillance Footage Raises New Questions Providence police have also circulated surveillance footage showing a masked individual walking through a residential area close to Brown’s campus on Saturday afternoon, around two hours before the shooting. The person is seen wearing a black beanie, a green jacket, and black gloves. Providence Police Chief Oscar L. Perez said investigators believe the individual was “casing the area,” suggesting the attack may have been planned in advance, as per Guardian. Officials are now asking residents and businesses to recheck security camera recordings from the surrounding streets for any additional sightings that could help map the suspect’s route. Investigation Under Scrutiny The shooting occurred during the university’s final examination period, killing two students and injuring nine others. Early descriptions portrayed the shooter as stocky, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, and dressed in dark clothing. Although police detained one individual on Sunday, he was later released, a development that drew criticism after FBI Director Kash Patel was accused of prematurely indicating that the case had been resolved. Investigators have since received nearly 200 tips, though none have yet led to a breakthrough. Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha defended the pace and direction of the investigation, calling for patience as authorities work methodically to identify the suspect and determine a motive. Campus Safety In The Spotlight The attack has ignited fresh concerns about campus security, including the absence of surveillance cameras and limited secure locking systems in some university buildings. In response, Brown University has boosted public safety staffing, tightened access to facilities, and reviewed emergency protocols. With a student population of nearly 11,000, Brown University — one of America’s oldest and most prestigious institutions — remains on edge as the manhunt continues, underscoring broader national anxieties over campus violence and public safety.

Hours After Final TikTok Post, Influencer Tucker Genal Dies By Suicide At 31

TikTok creator Tucker Genal has died at the age of 31. According to the Los Angeles medical examiner’s website, Genal was found dead by suicide at his California home on Thursday. Final Post Hours Before Death Just hours before his death, Genal shared a video on TikTok featuring a photo from each month of the past year. “Wish I could relive some of these moments twice,” he wrote. “Here’s a photo from every month this past year.” Family Confirms Death With Emotional Tribute Genal’s brothers, Carson and Connor, announced his death in a tribute posted on Instagram on Monday. “I don’t even know where to begin, You were my best friend and an even better big brother, my entire life I’ve spent looking up to you and trying to follow in your footsteps because you were always my hero,” Carson wrote. “I know one thing is for certain and that is that I will continue to spend the rest of my life looking up to you until we meet again. You were the kindest person I’ve ever met and the greatest brother that anyone could have ever asked for.” Rise to Fame on TikTok Genal had built a following of 2.5 million on TikTok, where he regularly posted skits, viral challenges and table games with his brothers, often centred around food. He was previously known for relationship content with his former girlfriend, Cortney Gibson. The couple broke up earlier this year, and Gibson has not commented publicly on his death. Fans React to His Final Video Following the news, fans flooded Genal’s final post with messages of grief. “Gutted man,” one user wrote. “Even though you don’t know someone personally, watching them day in and day out online, you get a weird connection to them. This is so fricken terrible.” Another commented, “I didn’t know you personally. I would sit up at night and watch you and your brother’s eating vids. it helped me when I was going through alot of pain mentally. thank you for helping me get through a difficult time. I wish someone, anyone could have done the same for you.” Fans also noticed that for the month of December he had posted a picture in black and white while the other months were all in colour. Several users noted the timing and tone of the post, pointing out that the final image in the carousel was edited in black and white, while the accompanying audio included the words “over and out.” “This was his goodbye post,” one TikTok user wrote, with another adding, “This was like him saying goodbye.” Yet another comment read, “Every pic has color except December. You truly never know what someone is going through. Check on the people you love.”

Trump Administration Extends Travel Ban To Palestine And Five More Nations- Check Full List

Trump Administration Extends Travel Ban To Palestine And Five More Nations- Check Full List

The Trump administration has widened its travel restrictions, formally barring entry for citizens of five additional countries and imposing a full restriction on individuals travelling on Palestinian-Authority-issued documents. The move also introduces new partial limits on travellers from 15 other nations. The decision, announced on Tuesday, is part of what the White House described as an effort to “tighten US entry standards” following the arrest of an Afghan national suspected in the Thanksgiving weekend shooting of two National Guard troops near the White House. Officials said the expanded Trump travel ban is aimed at addressing security risks from countries where US authorities “lack sufficient information to assess the risks” posed by visitors. Earlier Travel Bans Announced In June In June, Donald Trump had already unveiled travel bans covering citizens of 12 countries, while nationals from seven others were placed under heightened restrictions, echoing the controversial immigration measures of his first term. Those facing full bans included Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. At the same time, stricter entry rules were applied to Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela through visa and screening restrictions rather than outright prohibitions. Full Ban Expanded To Five Countries Under the latest proclamation, the administration has extended full travel bans to citizens of Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan and Syria. In a particularly sensitive move, the White House also imposed a full restriction on individuals using Palestinian-Authority-issued documents, effectively barring most Palestinians from entry except under narrow, case-by-case exemptions. Officials argued that the affected states suffer from “widespread corruption, fraudulent or unreliable civil documents and criminal records,” which undermine US vetting processes. High visa overstay rates and, in some cases, governments’ refusal to accept deported nationals were also cited. Nearly 30 Countries Affected With the original 12 countries, the five newly added nations and the Palestinian document category, the Trump travel ban now approaches what critics have described as a “30 countries list.” Critics argue the measures disproportionately affect Muslim-majority and politically unstable nations. The White House rejected those claims, insisting the criteria are “global and fact-based.” Officials pointed to what they described as a “general lack of stability and government control” in many of the affected countries, arguing that such conditions make it difficult to verify identities, confirm criminal histories or properly assess immigration risks. Partial Restrictions Imposed On 15 More Countries Beyond full bans, the proclamation also adds 15 countries to the list facing partial restrictions: Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Dominica, Gabon, Gambia, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Senegal, Tanzania, Tonga, Zambia and Zimbabwe. These measures include tighter visa screening, limits on certain visa categories and additional travel conditions such as waivers or enhanced documentation. The administration said these countries have high visa overstay rates, weak identity-management systems or inconsistent cooperation with US immigration enforcement, particularly on deportations. White House Signals Conditions for Review, Legal Challenges Expected In the proclamation, the administration said the restrictions are intended to “garner cooperation from foreign governments, enforce our immigration laws, and advance other important foreign policy, national security, and counterterrorism objectives.” It added that countries could be removed from the list if they improve information-sharing, document integrity and cooperation on removals. Legal challenges are expected, with civil-rights groups and immigration advocates arguing the new measures revive the logic of earlier “Muslim bans” and overstep executive authority on immigration.

Dashcam Footage Reveals Heroic Final Stand Of Elderly Jew Couple In Bondi Beach Terror Attack

Dashcam Footage Reveals Heroic Final Stand Of Elderly Jew Couple In Bondi Beach Terror Attack

A newly surfaced dashcam video has cast fresh light on the final moments of an elderly couple who were killed in the Bondi Beach mass shooting in Sydney on Sunday. The footage, now circulating widely online, shows the couple confronting one of the gunmen and attempting to stop the attack — a split-second decision that underscored extraordinary courage in the face of deadly violence. Video Shows Desperate Struggle With Gunman The recording, captured by a passing vehicle, shows the elderly man wearing shorts and a lavender T-shirt rushing toward an armed attacker on the pavement. The gunman, dressed in white trousers and holding a long-barrelled firearm, is seen struggling with him near a silver hatchback. During the confrontation, both men fall to the ground as they grapple over the weapon. Standing just beside the vehicle with the door open, the elderly woman remains close as the struggle unfolds. Moments later, the couple disappear from view behind the car. Reuters has verified the authenticity of the dashcam footage, which ends before the outcome becomes clear. Subsequent drone images taken by authorities later showed the couple lying motionless beside the same vehicle, near the pedestrian bridge where police ultimately shot the attackers. Witness Account Highlights Unflinching Bravery The dashcam owner, identified only as Jenny, shared the footage with Reuters after posting about it on the Chinese social media platform RedNote. Describing what she witnessed, she wrote that the elderly man “did not run away — instead, he charged straight toward the danger”, as per reports. New footage confirms a second hero at Bondi Beach.A man in a purple shirt charged the terrorists, disarmed one of them, and tried to stop the massacre.He and his wife paid with their lives.#bondibeach pic.twitter.com/lOG8Fo7xXv — TRIDENT (@TridentxIN) December 16, 2025 Australian media later identified the victims as Boris, a retired mechanic, and his wife Sofia, a former Australia Post employee. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, their family said they were devastated by the loss but deeply proud of the couple’s actions, describing their bravery as a reflection of who they were in life. Deadliest Attack In Decades Under Terror Probe Authorities have described the Bondi Beach shooting as Australia’s deadliest mass attack in nearly 30 years. Investigators say the incident is being treated as an act of terrorism, with the Jewish community believed to have been the primary target. Officials have stated that the assault was influenced by extremist ideology linked to the so-called Islamic State group. The violence erupted around 6:45 p.m. when two gunmen opened fire from a footbridge onto people below. During the chaos, another civilian, Ahmed, confronted one of the attackers, managed to wrestle away his rifle, and is credited by police with preventing further bloodshed before being shot twice. Police later confirmed the attackers were a father and son. Sajid Akram, 50, was killed at the scene, while his 24-year-old son, Naveed Akram, survived and is currently under police guard in hospital. Investigations into the terror links and wider network behind the attack are ongoing.

‘Evil Forces of Radical Islamic Terrorism’: Trump on Sydney Shooting, Urges Unity At Hanukkah Reception

US President Donald Trump used a White House Hanukkah reception to honour the victims of a deadly terror attack in Australia, urging countries worldwide to stand together against radical Islam. The remarks came after an Islamic State-inspired assault on a Jewish Hanukkah celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, where 15 people lost their lives. Opening the ceremony on the third night of the Jewish festival, Trump paused to acknowledge the tragedy before a gathered audience, setting a solemn tone for the evening. He paid tribute to those killed in the mass shooting and reaffirmed his long-standing support for the Jewish community. ‘Stand Together Against Evil Forces’ Speaking directly on the global threat of extremism, the president stressed the need for unity in confronting terrorism. He said all nations must act collectively against what he described as the “evil forces of radical Islamic terrorism”, while underlining his personal commitment to the Jewish people. Trump told attendees that he would “always” remain a friend and champion of the Jewish community, reinforcing that message during the White House event. Message of Solidarity With Australia Extending his condolences beyond the room, Trump sent “love and prayers” to the people of Australia as they mourned the attack. He said the United States stood with those grieving the loss of life and expressed hope for the recovery of the injured.

PM Modi Becomes First Global Leader To Receive Ethiopia’s Top Honour, Dedicates It To 'People Of India'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s maiden bilateral visit to Ethiopia has been marked by a powerful diplomatic gesture, as the African nation conferred on him its highest civilian award, underscoring the growing strategic warmth between New Delhi and Addis Ababa. During a ceremonial event held at the Addis International Convention Centre on December 16, Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed presented Prime Minister Modi with the prestigious “Great Honor Nishan of Ethiopia.” The honour recognises Modi’s contribution to deepening India–Ethiopia relations and his wider role as an influential global statesman. A Historic Honour In A Historic Land Accepting the award with visible humility, Prime Minister Modi described Ethiopia as one of the world’s most ancient civilisations and thanked its leadership and citizens for the rare distinction. He praised Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s leadership, particularly his emphasis on unity, sustainability and inclusive national development, noting that Ethiopia’s progress resonates strongly with India’s own development journey, according to the External Affairs Ministry. The ceremony symbolised more than a personal accolade—it reflected Ethiopia’s recognition of India as a long-term and trusted partner in Africa, with shared values rooted in independence, cooperation and people-centric growth. Education As The Bedrock Of Partnership In his address, Prime Minister Modi highlighted education as a defining pillar of India–Ethiopia relations. He recalled that Indian teachers and educators have been contributing to Ethiopia’s academic and institutional development for over a century, helping shape generations of Ethiopian professionals. This enduring educational link, he said, continues to serve as a foundation for broader cooperation in areas such as capacity-building, skills development and human resource exchange, reinforcing a partnership built on knowledge rather than transactions. Award Dedicated To Shared Generations Prime Minister Modi dedicated the honour to the people of both nations who have sustained bilateral ties across decades. Expressing gratitude on behalf of India’s population, he said the recognition reflects a shared journey and a renewed commitment to the aspirations of the Global South. On social media, Prime Minister Modi wrote: “I am honoured to receive the ‘Great Honor Nishan of Ethiopia.’ I dedicate this award to the 140 crore people of India.” Looking Ahead: Friendship and Global Cooperation Recalling his recent meeting with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed at the G20 Summit in South Africa, Modi said the Ethiopian leader had warmly invited him to visit the country. Accepting that invitation at the earliest opportunity, he described the visit as an expression of friendship and brotherhood. Reaffirming India’s long-term commitment, Modi said both countries are keen to broaden cooperation to address global challenges and unlock new opportunities, with education and people-to-people ties remaining at the heart of future engagement.
