With UAE split from OPEC, another oil market churn is in the offing

With UAE split from OPEC, another oil market churn is in the offing

Published by Parlour News

It also brings to the fore the tensions between the UAE and Saudi Arabia that have been simmering for years. Abu Dhabi’s decision seems driven by several considerations. One, the UAE has consistently argued that the OPEC quotas unfairly constrain its output. Second, in Sudan and Yemen, the Saudis and Emiratis have backed competing factions and pursued divergent strategies. Third, the war in Iran appears to have deepened the divide between the two. Among the GCC states, the UAE has borne the brunt of Iran’s attack, and, reportedly, seems to be in favour of a stronger approach against Tehran. It is also closer to Israel. Abu Dhabi’s decision, therefore, is likely to have been driven as much by strategic calculation as by political and economic interests. In the short term, the …

New Delhi India’s economic resilience and political stability are key reasons that over a dozen small and big countries seek deeper bilateral ties with New Delhi to boost trade and investments, even as India is holding free trade talks with major economies such as the European Union and the United Kingdom, officials said. Nations reach out to India on trade amid global churn The government, particularly the commerce ministry, is simultaneously engaged with delegations of several countries in just the month of March, they said, requesting anonymity. Some of the countries holding talks either virtually or physically this month include Cuba, Egypt, Oman, Peru, Chile, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Malaysia, Sweden, Norway, Hungary, Guatemala, Slovak Republic and Belgium.

Referring to the global churning where India has an advantageous place, she said: “I’m glad to say that the leadership of Prime Minister Modi is conscious that India …

Published by Webster

It was badminton, mind you. Unlike that final instalment of the silly Twilight movie finale, the doom scene wasn’t imaginary, but a real scary 95-99 score. India trailing USA 95-99, with just the last match left to salvage matters. Bhavya Chhabra and Param Chaudhary proved India’s heroes in boy’s doubles, taking 9 points on the trot, against Americans Kai Chong and Kyle Wang, winning the match 15-2 in the next 7 minutes to nick the tie 110-101. But only just. Utterly barmy, but who knows – this is what badminton might look like in the future? There were other mind-bending results in the course of the week at World Juniors in China. France beat Korea. The USA had actually beaten Thailand. In the final positions, they also downed mighty Denmark. Trinidad and Tobago beat Mongolia, fielding just three players, over ten matches. On their World Badminton Junior Championship debut, no less. And, New Zealand – they of the wretched luck of 2019 boundary countback in World Cup cricket fame – lost all, but one match …

Manjari Begum’s days are long, with back-breaking labour under the searing sun – waking up at 4am to tend to her poultry, sweep her mud courtyard and sprinkle it with water, snap twigs and small branches to tie together and mend the makeshift fence that separates her house from that of her brother-in-law, before starting to cook for her eight children.

Web3 Gaming Market to Churn Over $614 Billion by 2030, Role Playing Games to Lead Sector: Report

Published by Webster

The NFT-backed Web3 gaming ecosystem is showing big promise in the next few years. A recent report by Fortune Business Insights has forecasted that the blockchain gaming market would be churning up to $614 billion (roughly Rs. 51,07,086 crore) in the next seven years leading to 2030. The category of role-playing games (RPGs) is projected to be leading the sector owing to its immersive nature. This estimation bodes well for the future of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which recently underwent a slump this year. The Fortune Business Insights report is basically projecting that the blockchain gaming business will grow by 300 percent from its current valuation of $154 billion (roughly Rs. 12,80,944 crore) in the next seven years. More virtually realistic in appeal than traditional video games, Web3 games allow internal trading of game related NFTs that lets players generate some passive income as well. The data of in-game asset sales have shown growth at the rate of 21.8 percent between 2017 and 2021. “With the adoption of NFTs in blockchain technologies, gamers can have more …
