Indian Railways is set to introduce its first non-AC local trains with automatic doors in Mumbai 🚆


I suspect the real reason for Singapore's opposition to a toll on Hormuz is not some high-minded devotion to international law, but because if it's set as a precedent and a toll were to exist on the Strait of Malacca, it would basically kill their current business model. See, geographically speaking, Malacca runs primarily between Malaysia and Indonesia - Singapore only controls a small stretch at the southeastern exit. Yet currently they capture most of the strait's commercial value through port services, bunkering, and transshipment: it's basically like them having the best "service station" on the world's most popular free highway. What the Hormuz precedent - if established - is all about is the revenge of geography: power given back to the countries that own the road, as opposed to those with the best rest-stop. Fantastic news for Malaysia and Indonesia (which is partly why you're seeing key Malaysian political figures, like Nurul Izzah Anwar, issue a highly unusual rebuke of Singapore over Balakrishnan’s remarks: x.com/amerhadiazmi/s…), but a big threat to a city-state whose entire economy is built on being the best service provider on what's largely someone else's waterway.



Woke up to a bad news. One old friend (my junior) lost his job today. He was in that company since 2009. 17 years. Began his career there and stayed there forever. We met last time in January. I asked him what made you to stay there for so long. Comfortability. They take care of me so well. I know in-n-out of the system. They need me badly. Today they dissolved the entire company. Left only 4 junior level workers and 1 manager. The insiders say they are moving in with AI. Most possibly Claude Cowork. Interestingly when we met last time, I mentioned him about Claude, Copilot, etc. He had no idea of what are these. Guys. Those who are seniors in this industry: > Be prepared. > Don't sleep with this thought that the company needs you and won't fire you. > Adapt AI ASAP. > Think yourself like a junior. > Learn new tech everyday. Otherwise you will perish like many others.





The SEBI chief said India is open for foreign investors to bring money into the country •He is basically telling global investors: → “India is stable, growing fast, and a good place to invest” •SEBI is also trying to: → make it easier and faster for foreign investors to invest → reduce paperwork and rules complexity •India now has more local investors and strong IPO activity, so markets are getting stronger on their own too



JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 US Vice President JD Vance says "we have not reached an agreement" with Iran. "We will go back to the United States having not reached an agreement…That's bad news for Iran much more than bad news for the USA."



Japan is solidifying its position as a global leader in digital asset governance with a major regulatory pivot. The Japanese cabinet recently approved a bill that reclassifies cryptocurrencies as formal financial instruments, moving them into the same legal category as traditional stocks and bonds. This shift is designed to provide a much tighter oversight of the digital asset market, which has historically operated in a more flexible regulatory environment. A core component of this new legislation is the introduction of strict bans on insider trading, a practice that has plagued the crypto space due to a lack of transparency. Under the new rules, exchanges and market participants will be subject to rigorous disclosure requirements, ensuring that retail investors have access to the same quality of information found in legacy markets. This move is expected to flush out bad actors and reduce the extreme volatility often triggered by market manipulation. By integrating crypto into the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, Japan aims to foster a "safe haven" for institutional capital. Professional investors who were previously wary of the "Wild West" nature of digital assets may now find the regulated landscape more attractive. Ultimately, this major regulatory shift signals Japan's intent to balance high-tech innovation with the foundational principles of investor protection and market integrity. cryptoticker.io/en/japan-appro…
