India-US trade talks hit a ‘plateau’, Sitharaman says, as Russia-oil tariff threat looms

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on October 5 that India-US trade talks had reached a plateau beyond which further give-and-take would be ‘very, very difficult’. Room narrowed after the US passed a law allowing up to 100% tariffs on buyers of Russian oil — with first action due around October 18 — putting India, a major Russian crude buyer, in an energy-policy bind. USTR Jamieson Greer has said a deal is not imminent; the 10% Section 301 duty continues meanwhile. Source: BusinessWorld Online

Brent holds near $104 on Middle East tensions; rupee firms to 96.72

Brent crude hovered near $103–104 a barrel on Friday amid escalating Middle East tensions and fresh tanker attacks, after crossing $105 earlier in the week. The rupee still strengthened 16 paise to close at 96.72 against the dollar on a softer greenback, easing oil and hints of central-bank support. Gold added over 1% on the softer dollar. ICRA has flagged negative marketing margins for oil marketing companies if crude stays elevated while retail fuel rates remain unchanged. Source: The Hindu BusinessLine

A shadier Hyderabad is a cooler Hyderabad

Every summer the city feels a little hotter, and every summer we are surprised by it. The old neighbourhoods knew the answer: a neem outside every gate, a peepal at every corner, shade you could walk under from one street to the next.

Trees are the cheapest air-conditioners a city can buy, and they ask for nothing but water and time. Before the next heatwave arrives, the kindest civic act is also the simplest — plant one, and make sure it lives.
