    Tokyo, Seoul and Jakarta are major losers. The US markets closed mixed in Friday’s trading session. According to the market experts, “Market is likely to move into a consolidation phase in the near-term.One significant factor that is influencing foreign portfolios is the outperformance of the Chinese stocks which is reflected in the massive surge in the Hang Seng index by around 18 per cent in September.”

    “FIIs may continue to sell in India and move some more money to better-performing markets. FII selling is unlikely to impact the Indian market significantly since the massive domestic money can easily absorb whatever the FIIs are selling. Investors can use dips to buy quality largecaps which are fairly valued,” they added.

    The foreign institutional investors (FIIs) turned net sellers as they sold equities worth Rs 1,209 crore on September 27, while domestic institutional investors extended their buying as they bought equities worth Rs 6,886 crore on the same day.

  • Musk’s X downgraded 79% by Fidelity, platform likely worth $9.4 bn now

    Fidelity reduces value of Musk's X by 79 pc, platform likely worth $9.4 bn

    Fidelity reduces value of Musk’s X by 79 pc, platform likely worth $9.4 bnIANS

    Global investment firm Fidelity has reduce the value of its holding in Elon Musk-run X (formerly Twitter) by a massive 78.7 per cent, which implies that the X social media platform is likely valued at just $9.4 billion.

    The tech billionaire had bought the social media company for $44 billion in October 2022 after an intense drama.

    As per new estimate from asset manager Fidelity, X is now valued at less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price (at August end), reports TechCrunch, citing its filings.

    The fund now values its stake in X at approximately $4.18 million. In July, Fidelity valued its shares in X at about $5.5 million.

    X, Fidelity or Musk did not immediately comment on the report based on regulatory disclosures.

    In May, Musk-run artificial intelligence (AI) company xAI raised $6 billion to accelerate the research and development of future technologies. In a post, the X owner said the pre-money valuation was $18 billion.

    Musk had reportedly told bankers, after taking $13 billion in loan to fund his Twitter acquisitionIANS

    xAI, which has unveiled an AI chatbot called ‘Grok’, raised funds from key investors, including Fidelity Management and Research.

    In January this year, the global investment firm Fidelity marked down its investment in Musk-run X Holdings (the parent company of X) by a whopping 71.5 per cent from the original value.

    Fidelity took a stake in X Corp for $300 million in October 2022 when Musk acquired the platform, formerly called Twitter, for $44 billion.

    In 2023, Fidelity had cut the valuation by 65 per cent, and now, it has further cut X’s valuation in a new disclosure.

    Musk had reportedly told bankers, after taking $13 billion in loan to fund his Twitter acquisition, that they will not lose any money on the deal. The debt is split between $6.5 billion of term loans, as well as $6 billion of senior and junior bonds and a $500 million revolver. Lenders were unlikely to get even 60 cents on the dollar for the bonds and loans.

  • Do You Know Traffic Police Cannot Confiscate Your Vehicle Keys ? know what the rule says?

    Many times people break traffic rules unknowingly while driving. Due to these mistakes, they also get challaned. However, this does not mean that a traffic constable should take away the keys of your vehicle.

    If the constable is taking the keys from your vehicle, then this is also against the rules. The constable does not have the right to arrest you or seize the vehicle. However, many people do not know this. They get scared on seeing the traffic police at fault.

    – Advertisement –

    No right to take out the keys

    Under the Indian Motor Vehicle Act 1932, only an ASI level officer can issue a challan for traffic violation. ASI, SI, Inspector have the right to impose spot fines. Traffic constables are there only to assist them. They do not have the right to take away anyone’s vehicle keys. Not only this, they cannot even deflate your vehicle’s tyres. They cannot talk to you in a wrong way or misbehave with you. If a traffic policeman is harassing you without any reason, then you can also take action against him.

    You should also keep these things in mind

    To issue a challan, the traffic police must have a challan book or an e-challan machine. If they do not have any of these two, then your challan cannot be issued. It is also necessary for the traffic police to be in uniform. The uniform must have the buckle number and the name. In case of not wearing a uniform, the policeman may be asked to show his identity card.

    The head constable of the traffic police can fine you only Rs 100. Only a traffic officer i.e. ASI or SI can impose a fine higher than this. This means they can issue a challan of more than Rs 100. If a traffic constable takes out the keys of your vehicle, then make a video of that incident. You can go to the police station of that area and show this video to a senior officer and complain about him.

    While driving, you should have the original copy of your driving license and pollution under control certificate. Photocopy of vehicle registration and insurance will also do. If you do not have money on the spot, you can pay the fine later. In such a situation, the court issues a challan, which will have to be paid in the court. During this time, the traffic officer can keep your driving license with him.
