  • Redmi’s latest 300W charging feat powers your phone in under five minutes

    اگر آپ کو یقین نہیں آتا ہے تو آپ اسے یہاں خود دیکھ سکتے ہیں۔ Redmi نے اپنے Note 12 Discovery Edition کے ایک ترمیم شدہ ورژن کو جوڑ دیا ہے، جو 4,300mAh کی بجائے 4,100mAh بیٹری سے لیس ہے، اس کے سپرفاسٹ چارجر سے۔

    دوہری GaN ڈیوائس فون کی آدھی بیٹری کو صرف دو منٹ میں چارج کرنے کا انتظام کرتی ہے، اور پانچ منٹ کے ختم ہونے تک یہ 100 فیصد تک پہنچ جاتی ہے۔ اپنے ناشتے کے سیریل کو ختم کرنے یا یہاں تک کہ اپنے ڈش واشر کو اتارنے کے لیے بمشکل کافی وقت ہے۔

    یہ چینی فون بنانے والی کمپنی Realme کی رفتار میں بھی سرفہرست ہے، جس نے اسے ڈیمو کیا۔ تیز رفتار چارج ٹیکنالوجی اس مہینے کے شروع میں جو اپنے نئے GT Neo 5 کو 10 منٹ سے کم میں جوس کر سکتا ہے۔ دیگر چینی فون کمپنیاں، OnePlus سمیت، نے الٹرا فاسٹ چارجنگ کو معیاری بنانے میں ایک وار کیا ہے لیکن پھر بھی Redmi کے تازہ ترین چارجنگ اوقات سے کم ہے۔ لیکن ارے، کم از کم OnePlus 10T امریکہ میں دستیاب ہے۔ اور تقریباً 20 منٹ میں مکمل چارج تک پہنچ سکتا ہے۔

    ہم نہیں جانتے کہ Redmi اس ٹیکنالوجی کو اپنے اسمارٹ فونز میں سے ایک پر لائے گا، لیکن ایسا لگتا ہے کہ یہ ایک امکان ہے۔ آخر کار، اگر اس نے چین میں جاری کیے گئے اپنے نوٹ 12 ڈسکوری ایڈیشن میں نو منٹ کی چارجنگ کی خصوصیت شامل کی، تو اسے مستقبل میں صارفین کے لیے اس سے بھی تیز رفتاری فراہم کرنے سے کیا روک رہا ہے؟

  • Wall St inches higher as investors focus on Fed minutes

    Wall Street\’s main indexes edged up on Wednesday, a day after their worst performance of the year, as investors awaited minutes from the Federal Reserve\’s policy meeting. The minutes are expected to detail the debate at the central bank about the rate hike path, with some members expecting inflation to reach 2% this year. Money market participants expect rates to peak at 5.35% by July and stay around those levels till the end of 2023. Six of the major S&P 500 sectors gained, with consumer discretionary stocks adding 0.4%. Growth stocks like Tesla, Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Amazon.com edged higher as the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes slid from multi-month highs. A Reuters poll analysts expect the S&P 500 index to advance 5% by the end of the year, but high interest rates and inflation have led many strategists to predict a correction within the next three months.

  • Indian shares continue slide on rate jitters ahead of Fed, RBI minutes

    [

    BENGALURU: Indian shares fell for the fourth session in a row on Wednesday and recorded their worst day in over three weeks after strong U.S. data fuelled worries about higher-for-longer interest rates.

    The Nifty 50 index closed down 1.53% at 17,554.30, its lowest in over four months. The S&P BSE Sensex fell 1.53% at 59,744.98.

    Wall Street posted its worst one-day slump of the year on Tuesday after U.S. business activity returned to expansion for the first time in eight months in February, fuelling fears of continued high rates.

    Indian shares end lower in cautious trade

    Those worries remain in focus ahead of the release, later in the day, of the minutes of the latest meetings of the U.S. Federal Reserve as well as the Reserve Bank of India.

    “The probability of impending rate hikes by the U.S. Fed has risen from two to three, in the light of new data,” said Siddhartha Khemka, head of retail research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

    “Fear of a hawkish Fed has gripped markets and kept investors on tenterhooks.”

    All the 13 major sectoral indexes fell, with the heavyweight financials dropping 1.76% and information technology losing more than 1%.

    Metals tumbled 2.64% to their worst day in nearly three weeks due to a dip in metal prices and a 10.58% drop in Adani Enterprises.

    Forty-eight of the Nifty 50 constituents declined. Reliance Industries and HDFC Bank, the two most heavily weighted stocks on the index, lost 2.27% and 1.96%, respectively.

    Among individual stocks, Wockhardt bucked the broader trend to jump 1.24% after the company said a business restructuring will help it save $12 million annually.

    Separately, the National Stock Exchange extended trading hours for interest rate derivatives to 5 p.m. IST from Feb. 23, to help investors better hedge risks with global equities.

  • Indian shares fall on rate-hike worries ahead of Fed, RBI minutes

    BENGALURU: Indian shares extended losses on Wednesday after strong economic data from the US kept investors worried that central banks, including the US Fed, would have to keep raising interest rates to tackle inflation.

    The Nifty 50 index was down 0.86% at 17,674.50, while the S&P BSE Sensex fell 0.85% at 60,150.93 as of 10:34 a.m. IST.

    Both the Fed and the Reserve Bank of India were due to release minutes of their latest policy meetings, giving investors a glimpse of their thinking on future rate-hike trajectories.

    “The probability of impending rate hikes by the US Fed has risen from two to three, in the light of new data,” said Siddhartha Khemka, head of retail research at Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

    “Fear of a hawkish Fed has gripped markets and kept investors on tenterhooks.”

    Global markets fell after an unexpectedly strong reading of S&P Global’s composite purchasing managers’ index (PMI) showed that the US economy was not cooling.

    Twelve of the 13 major sectoral indexes fell, with high-weightage financials dropping 0.83% and information technology stocks losing nearly 0.75%, respectively.

    All 10 constituents of the IT index were in the red.

    Forty-two of the Nifty 50 constituents declined with Adani Enterprises and Adani Ports falling nearly 7% and 4%, respectively.

    Among individual stocks, Wockhardt bucked the broader trend and jumped nearly 6% after the company said a restructuring of its business will lead to annual savings of $12 million.

    Separately, the National Stock Exchange extended trading hours for interest rate derivatives to 5 p.m. IST from Feb. 23, to better hedge risks with global equities.

    In a discussion paper, India’s markets regulator had said that longer trading hours helped market participants manage risks arising out of global information flow.

  • Gold tiptoes higher as investors focus on Fed minutes

    Gold prices rose marginally on Wednesday, as investors awaited minutes of the US Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting to assess prospects of further interest rate hikes.

    Spot gold was up 0.1% at $1,835.40 per ounce, as of 0334 GMT. US gold futures firmed 0.1% to $1,845.10.

    Bullion is seen as a hedge against inflation, but rising interest rates dull the non-yielding asset’s appeal.

    Gold inches up as investors await US data

    “Gold is leaning on the ropes, but it’s not doing too bad considering how high US yields have moved – following a slew of strong economic data, which points to a higher terminal Fed rate,” said Matt Simpson, a senior market analyst at City Index.

    Data on Tuesday showed US business activity unexpectedly rebounded in February to its highest level in eight months – the latest in a stream of data that have shown signs of a resilient US economy and a tight labour market.

    “Traders will be more sensitive to hawkish clues in the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) minutes, which could weigh on
    gold prices,” said City Index’s Simpson.

    “There’s a greater chance of gold testing $1,800 before it tests $1,900 over the foreseeable future,” given the prospects of markets repricing a higher terminal Fed rate, Simpson added.

    Minutes of the Fed’s latest meeting are due at 1900 GMT on Wednesday. The US central bank raised rates by 25 basis points at its Jan. 31-Feb. 1 meeting.

    The Fed is expected to raise benchmark rates above 5% by May with a peak seen at 5.352% in July.

    The dollar index eased 0.1%, making greenback-priced bullion less expensive for buyers holding other currencies. Benchmark US 10-year Treasury yields hit their highest since November.

    Spot silver was down 0.1% at $21.80 per ounce and platinum fell 0.3% to $940.03. Both metals were off one-week highs hit on Tuesday.

    Palladium shed 1.3% to $1,505.95.
