Caution rings among investors as India-Pak tensions escalate

The Nifty put-call ratio hit 1.89, the highest since data has been collated, reflecting heightened caution
Markets which had so far discounted a full-fledged war between India and Pakistan seem to have raised a note of caution in the last two-and-a-half hours of trade on Thursday, when news surfaced of India thwarting Pakistan's missile attack on 15 of its military installations on the intervening night of 7-8 May.
The escalation followed multiple air strikes conducted by India on Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the wee hours of Wednesday to avenge the massacre of 26 tourists in Pahalgam by Pakistan-backed terrorists on 22 April.
The aggregate Nifty put-call ratio (PCR) hit 1.89 on Thursday, the highest since the data has been collated on this variable from 1 April 2021, by analytics firm IndiaCharts. This means for every 100 calls traded on Thursday, 189 puts changed hands.

The right to privacy
A stable door being bolted after the horses have fled? This view of India’s privacy law may seem justified, given that rules under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act of 2023 were notified only last week, more than eight years after the Supreme Court deemed privacy a fundamental right under the Indian Constitution.

WHY NITISH KUMAR STILL RULES BIHAR’S CHESSBOARD
It was a bright morning towards the end of 2009. Vapours were visible from our cups filled with hot tea at our hotel. We were sitting with a close confidant of Nitish Kumar. I asked him what was the secret of his leader's success? He replied, “on the chessboard of politics Nitish babu, like a knight, can move two and half paces forward and backward simultaneously. His right hand is unaware of what his left hand is about to do?’
