RBI projected to cut repo rate by 25 basis points in Q4 2025: HSBC

RBI projected to cut repo rate by 25 basis points in Q4 2025: HSBC

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) may implement a 25 basis point rate cut in the fourth quarter this year if moderate high-frequency data from June continues, a report said on Wednesday.

The high one-year-ahead growth and inflation forecasts from RBI have led some market participants to believe RBI will be hesitant in further easing, but the central bank may lower its forecast and cut rates, according to the report from HSBC Global Investment Research.

"If high frequency activity indicators stay weak in the coming months, the RBI is likely to lower its growth forecast. A 25 bps repo rate cut is expected in Q4, bringing the repo rate to 5.25 per cent," the report said.

The RBI maintained the policy rate at 5.50 per cent during its August meeting, following significant easing in the prior session.

Records of over 100 booths in Bengal missing, Chief Electoral Officer to inform ECI

Records of over 100 booths in Bengal missing, Chief Electoral Officer to inform ECI

The records of the voters' lists of around a hundred polling booths in West Bengal, post the last Special Intensive Revision carried out by the Election Commission of India (ECI) in 2002, are not available.

The 2022 list is supposed to be the basis for carrying out the SIR by the Commission this year. Insiders from the office of the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), West Bengal, said that the matter would be brought to the notice of the ECI and permission would be sought to use the draft voters’ list for 2003 as the basis of the fresh SIR.

The sources said that, in the case of certain booths, the records of the 2002 post-SIR were not available at all. In some cases, the lists have been damaged in such a way that it is impossible to upload them to the Commission's server.

It is learnt that the majority of the polling booths, whose records are not available, are from South 24 Parganas, Howrah, North 24 Parganas, and Birbhum districts, all being traditional strongholds of Trinamool Congress.

India’s headline inflation to average 3.5 pc this fiscal: Crisil

India’s headline inflation to average 3.5 pc this fiscal: Crisil

A Crisil report on Wednesday projected India’s headline inflation to average 3.5 per cent this fiscal (FY26) from 4.6 per cent in the last, as healthy agricultural production is expected to keep food inflation in check.

Kharif sowing is up a healthy 4.0 per cent on-year (As of August 8) and adequate soil moisture should benefit the rabi crop as well.

“Assuming geopolitical uncertainties remain under control, Brent crude oil prices are projected to remain subdued at $60-65 per barrel in the current fiscal, which should help contain non-food inflation,” said the report.

India’s retail inflation rate has more than halved over the past year, slipping even below the lower end of the Reserve Bank of India’s tolerance band (2 per cent). It slid to 1.6 per cent in July from 2.1 per cent in June. A year ago, it stood at 3.6 per cent.

Women with Down syndrome at high risk of Alzheimer's disease: Study

Women with Down syndrome at high risk of Alzheimer's disease: Study

Women with Down syndrome have more advanced signs of Alzheimer's disease than men do, according to research.

However, the average age of Down syndrome diagnosis is the same for both men and women, said the University of California, Irvine.

The study suggests that women with Down syndrome may carry a higher burden of beta amyloid and phosphorylated tau -- two hallmark Alzheimer's proteins -- than men. It was particularly high in the occipital lobe in women with sporadic Alzheimer's disease -- the more common, late-onset form of Alzheimer's that occurs without a clear genetic cause.

Tech giant Apple has denied any foul play, insisting its platform is “fair and free of bias" after Tesla and SpaceX owner Elon Musk accused the iPhone maker of favouritism in App Store rankings.

Apple denied allegations that its App Store algorithms or curated lists favour ChatGPT over Musk’s offerings. “The App Store is designed to be fair and free of bias,” the company insisted, adding that recommendations are based on charts, algorithms, and expert editorial curation using objective criteria, according to multiple media reports.

“Our goal is to offer safe discovery for users and valuable opportunities for developers, collaborating with many to increase app visibility in rapidly evolving categories,” the company’s statement continued.
