What do you think about this? Is he going to hit or TACO? The market has become so choppy lately and Trump keeps doing this again and again and brings back the market down.

This is 1000th time that the US Iran deal is closed and 1000th time they are hitting hard.

Trump says the US is prepared to "hit Iran hard" and accused Tehran of delaying a fully negotiated peace deal. He also claimed Iran had agreed not to pursue nuclear weapons, while highlighting US efforts to disrupt Iranian oil exports and seize vessels linked to Iran.

Does simple work here?

Every time rupee falls, somehow common people are expected to become economists overnight.

Don’t travel abroad, don’t buy gold, reduce imports, save dollars for the country etc. But when it comes to fixing deeper issues like dependency on imports, fiscal discipline, export competitiveness or long term currency strength, nobody wants to talk about that.

Now RBI reportedly isn’t considering an off-cycle rate hike even with rupee pressure. Which basically means they don’t want to slow growth or tighten liquidity aggressively just to defend the currency right now.

And honestly that’s fine strategically. But then stop indirectly making middle class people feel guilty for buying gold or spending their own money.

Inflation already kills savings, FDs barely protect purchasing power, markets are risky for average people, so Indians naturally go towards gold. Then same people get blamed for “putting pressure on rupee”.

Feels like policy failures at the top become 'public responsibility' at the bottom.

US 30 year Treasury yield is now at its highest level since 2007, pre financial crisis era.

That means investors are demanding much higher returns to lend money to the US government for 30 years. Higher yields usually mean:

-Higher borrowing costs globally

-Pressure on stock market valuations

-Stronger dollar

-FII outflows from emerging markets like India

-More pain for rate sensitive sectors

Interesting part is, this is happening while markets are still near highs. Bond market and equity market seem to be telling two different stories right now.

If US yields keep rising:

Nasdaq growth stocks could get hit

-Indian IT and banks may see volatility

-RBI rate cut expectations may get delayed

-Gold could remain under pressure

2007 vibes or just normal repricing after years of cheap money?

Used to train pretty seriously before, but stopped working out for almost 2 years. Started again around 6 weeks ago and currently getting back into consistency. Not expecting major changes yet, but one thing I’ve always wondered is whether there’s actually anything you can do to increase waist size.

Would appreciate honest advice from experienced lifters. Open to constructive feedback.
