After Nobel Snub, Trump To Get An Award That Obama Received

US President Donald Trump will receive a hero's welcome in Israel for his role in brokering the Gaza ceasefire. Before Trump's Knesset (Israeli parliament) speech, Israeli President Isaac Herzog will present the country's highest civilian award to him to acknowledge his contribution in securing the release of hostages from Gaza and helping to end the two-year-long war. Israel had previously presented the award to former US President Barack Obama in 2013.  Leading up to the big Nobel Peace Prize announcement, there had been speculation of the prize going to Donald Trump-- an honour previously bestowed on Obama. "Through his tireless efforts, President Trump has not only helped bring our loved ones home but has also laid the foundations for a new era in the Middle East built on security, cooperation, and genuine hope for a peaceful future," the Israeli President's office said in a statement. Israel's presidential award is presented to individuals who have...

Gold Hits Record Highs: Here's What Expert Says About Investing Now

Gold prices on Wednesday (Oct 1) traded at a new high of levels above the Rs 1,17,000 mark in India. The gold prices rallied by Rs 1,100 to breach the Rs 1.21 lakh per 10 grams mark in the national capital. As per PTI, the All India Sarafa Association said that gold of 99.9 per cent purity jumped Rs 1,100 and hit a fresh peak of Rs 1,21,100 per 10 grams (inclusive of all taxes).

The recent surge occurred amid the US government shutdown after Congress failed to approve fresh federal funding. The ongoing standoff could lead to the loss of thousands of federal jobs. The shutdown might also halt the release of a September employment report, slow air travel, suspend scientific research and even withhold pay from US troops. 

Will gold prices increase further, and should people invest now?

Meanwhile, in India, buyers are discussing whether or not the prices will increase further, especially ahead of Diwali, when a large number of people buy gold and silver.

Mayank Misra, Vice President (Product) at INDmoney, told NDTV that the gold prices in India have hit a record high, driven by global factors such as expectations of US rate cuts, festive demand and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.

"While further increases are possible if global instability persists, prices are likely to remain volatile, so short-term swings cannot be ruled out," he said.

Gold has long been regarded as a safe-haven asset and a reliable store of value, attracting investors across generations and economies. But it's not risk-free.

While commenting from an investment perspective, he said, "At these elevated levels, consumers should remember that gold remains a hedge against uncertainty but does not guarantee immediate returns."

"Diversifying through gold Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), digital gold, or systematic purchases can help balance risk instead of making large lump-sum investments now."

"Khala Ka Ghar Nahi...": Akhtar On India Having It Easy In Asia Cup Final

The Rohit Sharma -led side received a timely wake up call following its loss to Bangladesh in the final Super 4 fixture on Friday. While India had rested several key players for the game, including star batter Virat Kohli , Akhtar suggested that it was a embarrassing defeat. Sri Lanka defeated tournament favourties Pakistan to reach the final, and Akhtar feels that winning the final won't be a cakewalk for India. "We were not expecting that India would lose to a team like Bangladesh but they did. It was an embarrassing defeat. Pakistan lost to Sri Lanka. They are out of the Asia Cup, which is an even bigger embarrassment. India are still in the final. All is not lost for them. It was a great wakeup call for them to come back harder and make sure they secure victory in the finals but that will only happen if they play really well. Ye khala ji ka ghar nahi hai jaha pe India...

Why Trump's Claims About Americans Splitting The Atom Angers New Zealanders

Imagine a newly-elected president of a country claiming the legacy of someone as foundational as Thomas Edison. That's the kind of appropriation New Zealanders are witnessing. The recent inaugural address of President Donald Trump has sparked a heated debate over the origins of a groundbreaking scientific achievement: splitting the atom. Trump's claim that American experts were responsible for this feat has been met with swift correction from New Zealanders, who proudly assert that their native son, Sir Ernest Rutherford, was the true pioneer behind this discovery. Rutherford's achievement in 1917 at Victoria University of Manchester in England marked a pivotal moment in the history of nuclear physics. His work not only earned him a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 but also led to the discovery of radioactive half-life and the understanding that radioactivity involves the transmutation of one chemical element to another. Nick Smith, the mayor of Nelson, near Rutherford...
