India Unveils ₹1,500-Crore Push for Critical Mineral Recycling to Cut Import Dependence

In a decisive move to fortify India’s clean energy and technology sectors, the Union Cabinet has approved a ₹1,500-crore incentive scheme to promote large-scale recycling and extraction of critical minerals from e-waste, spent batteries, and industrial scrap. The policy, a core pillar of the National Critical Minerals Mission (NCMM) launched earlier this year, aims to ensure India’s long-term mineral security while curbing its reliance on imports.

Why America Keeps Shutting Down: Politics Over Policy and a System Under Strain

The United States government has once again ground to a halt — and this time, it’s breaking records. Now entering its fourth week, the ongoing federal shutdown has become the longest in U.S. history, crippling public services and leaving hundreds of thousands of federal workers unpaid. Airports are warning of chaos, national parks are shuttered, and millions of Americans face disrupted lives. While President Donald Trump and Democrats continue to trade blame, the deeper truth is that shutdowns have become a recurring symptom of America’s political dysfunction — one rooted in polarization, procedural rigidity, and the weaponization of fiscal policy.

Trump Halts All Trade Talks with Canada Over “Fake” Reagan Ad — A New Rift in North America

In a stunning turn for one of the world’s most reliable trade relationships, U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly announced the termination of all trade negotiations with Canada, igniting fresh tensions across North America. The move, made public via Trump’s Truth Social post late Thursday, came after he accused Canada of airing a “fraudulent” anti-tariff advertisement that allegedly doctored footage of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. The fallout has rippled through Washington, Ottawa, and the broader business community, as both countries grapple with the implications of this diplomatic and economic rupture.

Pakistan Feels the Heat as Tomato @ 600 per Kilo — Border Closure Sends Prices Soaring

What began as a security flare-up on the Pakistan–Afghanistan frontier has now boiled over into kitchen chaos across Pakistan. Following intense clashes earlier this month, Islamabad shut down the crucial Torkham and Chaman border crossings — arteries that channel billions in bilateral trade. The closures, aimed at curbing militant movement, have instead triggered an economic domino effect. In just weeks, tomato prices have skyrocketed by over 400%, touching Rs600–700 per kilo in major cities. For millions already battling record inflation, the humble tomato has turned into a symbol of daily hardship.

The Great Gold Reawakening: Why Central Banks Are Betting on Bullion

A silent revolution is reshaping the world’s financial landscape. Across continents, central banks are amassing record volumes of gold, signaling a profound rethinking of monetary strategy. According to the World Gold Council, global central banks are projected to purchase around 900 tonnes of gold in 2025, marking the fourth consecutive year of heightened buying activity. With total global reserves now exceeding 36,000 tonnes—surpassing U.S. Treasury holdings for the first time since 1996—this renewed love affair with gold represents more than an investment trend; it’s a redefinition of financial security in an uncertain world.
