US children today weigh more, battle more illnesses and face higher odds of dying than youngsters just a generation ago, according to the most extensive review of pediatric well-being published in nearly two decades.

The study, released Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), tracked 170 separate health indicators drawn from eight national data sets that stretched back to 2002, reports news agency.

"All of them point in the same direction: children's health is getting worse," lead author Christopher Forrest of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia said.

Researchers found that obesity among 2-19-year-olds climbed from 17 per cent in the 2007-2008 survey cycle to about 21 per cent in the 2021-2023 cycle.

The Indian textile companies saw their shares surging in the morning trade on Tuesday after the US President Donald Trump slapped 35 per cent tariff on Bangladesh.

Shares of textile firms such as Trident, Welspun, Gokaldas Exports, KPR Mill, Vardhman Textiles and Arvind Ltd. went up in the early trade.

The stock of Gokaldas Exports were up more than 7 per cent while Vardhman Textiles shares rallied 7.4 per cent and Welspun Living's stock jumped two per cent.

In a letter to Bangladesh's Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, Trump said that starting on August 1, 2025 “we will charge Bangladesh a tariff of only 35 per cent on any and all Bangladeshi products sent into the United States, separate from all sectoral tariffs.”

“Please understand that the 35 per cent number is far less than what is needed to eliminate the trade deficit disparity we have with your country,” Trump wrote in the letter. He said that goods transshipped to evade a higher tariff will be subject to that higher tariff.

After a potentially damaging fall in the early stages of his fourth-round clash at Wimbledon against Grigor Dimitrov, world no. 1 Jannik Sinner is planning to get an MRI to further analyse the injury.

Sinner, however, reached the fourth round at Wimbledon after Dimitrov was forced to retire due to injury when leading 6-3, 7-5, 2-2.

In the very first game of the fourth-round matchup, Sinner appeared en route to a shock defeat, having jarred his elbow during an innocuous-looking slide to the ground. He later received a medical timeout for treatment on his elbow. Having recently split with his physiotherapist and trainer, he will work with the ATP Tour's physios on his elbow.

Hollywood star Hollywood actor Johnny Depp said that he “refuses” to "hold" onto "hate" following his bitter court battle with his former actress-wife Amber Heard.

It was in 2016, when Depp split from Heard and his career went into freefall when she later wrote an op-ed about being a victim of domestic abuse, which led to a lengthy court battle after he sued her for defamation.

Depp told The Telegraph newspaper: "This sounds like… but one can simply hold hate [until it] inspires some species of malice in your skull.

He added: "Makes you think of revenge. But hating someone is a great big responsibility to hang on to. The real truth of it, that I won’t allow, is that in order for me to hate, I have to care first. And I don’t care. What should I care about? That I got done wrong to (by others)? Plenty of people get done wrong."

The domestic benchmark indices were trading marginally up on Tuesday in the early trade, after the US President Donald Trump announced that “we are close to a deal with India”.

At around 9.30 am, Sensex was trading 91.57 points or 0.11 per cent up at 83,534.07 while the Nifty added 22.25 points or 0.09 per cent at 25,483.55.

Buying was seen in the IT, PSU bank and financial service sectors. According to analysts, the announcement of unilateral tariffs on 14 countries and the exclusion of India from the list indicate that a trade deal between India and US will be announced soon.

"This has already been largely discounted by the market; the unknown areas are the details of possible sectoral tariffs on segments like pharmaceuticals. Market reaction will depend on these details," said Dr VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited.

Securitisation volume rose nearly 9 per cent to around Rs 49,000 crore in the first quarter (April-June) of 2025-26, compared with Rs 45,000 crore in the same quarter of the previous financial year, according to a Crisil Rating report released on Monday.

Issuances by non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), led by large players, posted a strong year-on-year growth of about 24 per cent. This helped offset the lower origination volume by banks, supporting the overall securitisation market volume, the report states.

Securitisation in banking is a process where illiquid assets like loans are pooled together, repackaged, and sold as securities to investors. This allows banks to free up capital, transfer risk, and provide investors with access to diversified investments.

The total volumes of public InvITs (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) traded increased by 128.23 per cent in the last two years while that of public REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) surged by a whopping 399.54 per cent since FY23, ICRA Analytics said in a report on Monday.

Rising investor interest amid growing confidence in yield-generating assets is leading to a good growth in volumes of REITs and InvITs publicly traded in the last two years.

REITs and InvITs are investment vehicles that allow investors, both individual and institutional, to participate in the real estate and infrastructure sectors, respectively, without directly owning properties or infrastructure assets.
