Wall Street slumps as Brent crude climbs above $105, wholesale inflation rises

SUMMARY
Wall Street experienced a significant decline as rising oil prices and inflation data rattled investors. Brent crude surged past $105 per barrel, driven by supply concerns and geopolitical tensions, fueling fears of sustained high energy costs. Simultaneously, the Producer Price Index, which measures wholesale inflation, rose more than expected, signaling persistent price pressures across the economy. These factors heightened concerns that the Federal Reserve would maintain aggressive interest rate hikes, squeezing corporate profits and consumer spending. Major indices, including the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, all fell sharply.

Indian household asset allocation shifts: Gold share jumps from 15% to 24% in 3 years; equity barely moves

SUMMARY
Indian households are significantly reshaping their portfolios, with gold's share surging from 15% to 24% over three years, driven by record-high gold prices, geopolitical uncertainty, and inflation hedging. Meanwhile, equity allocation remains nearly flat, reflecting retail investor caution amid market volatility. This trend highlights a preference for traditional safe-haven assets over riskier investments. Experts note cultural affinity for gold and distrust in markets among middle-class families. The shift raises concerns about capital flow into productive assets essential for economic growth.

Debt mutual fund flows reverse sharply in August; is it a warning sign for investors?

SUMMARY
In August, debt mutual funds witnessed a sharp reversal in flows, with significant net outflows after months of strong inflows. Investors pulled out thousands of crores, primarily from liquid and short-duration funds, driven by quarter-end advance tax payments, profit booking, and rising interest rate concerns. Corporate treasuries also withdrew funds for regulatory and operational needs. While experts say such periodic reversals are seasonal and not alarming, they caution retail investors to monitor macroeconomic cues like RBI policy shifts, inflation trends, and global rate movements. Long-term debt fund investors should stay focused on asset allocation rather than reacting to short-term flow volatility.

SC says will not ‘disturb’ Satya Niketan collapse case before Delhi HC

SUMMARY
The Supreme Court refused to interfere in the Satya Niketan building collapse case, stating it will not disturb proceedings already underway before the Delhi High Court. The case involves a building collapse in Delhi's Satya Niketan area that raised serious concerns about unauthorized constructions and building safety violations. Victims and affected parties had approached the SC seeking faster relief and accountability.

SC draws line on panel’s powers, says only court can order FIRs in protest cases

SUMMARY
The Supreme Court has clarified that a panel or committee cannot order the registration of FIRs in protest-related cases, as this power exclusively belongs to the courts. The ruling reinforces the separation of powers, ensuring that investigative actions like filing FIRs remain under judicial oversight. The SC emphasized that committees formed to address protest situations have limited mandates and cannot assume law enforcement functions. This decision safeguards citizens' rights during protests and prevents misuse of panel authority for criminal proceedings.
