The Liberty got off to a slow start, with both Ionescu and Stewart uncharacteristically quiet in the first half — scoring just three and six points, respectively. Indiana took advantage of New York's turnovers to lead 46-42 at halftime and held the edge for much of the third quarter.

Momentum shifted late in the third when Stewart hit a key 3-pointer followed by a layup to put the Liberty back on top. Ionescu, who had been quiet in the middle quarters and spent much of the third on the bench, returned in the fourth to spark a scoring surge. She dropped 10 straight points to help New York open up the game's first double-digit lead.

RBI Bulletin article: Indian economy remains largely resilient despite global uncertainties, high tariff risk
Amid geopolitical tensions and tariff policy uncertainties, the Indian economy has remained resilient, aided by strong macroeconomic fundamentals, according to an article in the Reserve Bank of India's July monthly bulletin. 'Domestic economic activity held up in June, with high-frequency indicators pointing to improving prospects of the kharif agricultural season and continuation of strong momentum in the services sector,' according to the 'State of the Economy' article in RBI's July bulletin. The article has been prepared by central bank officials. The RBI said views published in the article are of the authors and not of the institution. It said that the growth in rural demand remained resilient and was accompanied by a recovery in urban economic activity. The all-India unemployment rate remained unchanged from the previous month at 5.6 per cent with rural areas faring better as compared to their urban counterparts. During April-May 2025, total expenditure grew by 19.7 per cent on a year-on-year (y-o-y) basis, accounting for 14.7 per cent of the Budget Estimates for FY26. Capital expenditure recorded robust growth during the first two months of the current fiscal and was at 19.7 per cent of the budgeted capital expenditure vis-à-vis 12.9 per cent during the same period a year ago, indicative of front-loading of capital spending by the Central government. India's merchandise trade deficit narrowed in June 2025, due to contraction in both oil and non-oil trade deficit. De-escalating geo-political tensions in the Middle East, optimism on trade deals and the easing of norms for infrastructure financing by the Reserve Bank buoyed up domestic financial market sentiments in the second half of June, the article said. In the first half of July, however, domestic markets traded with a negative bias as investor sentiment remained cautious amidst ongoing uncertainty over the potential India-US trade agreement and mixed corporate earnings results by companies in the first quarter of FY25. The article said that easing inflation, front-loading of government expenditure, targeted fiscal measures and congenial financial conditions for faster transmission of rate reductions should support aggregate demand in the economy, going forward. Headline inflation, as measured by y-o-y changes in the all-India consumer price index (CPI), declined to 2.1 per cent in June 2025 — the lowest since January 2019 — from 2.8 per cent in May. The retail inflation remained below the 4 per cent target for the fifth consecutive month in June. On the trade front, the article stated that as intense negotiations are underway for closing trade deals before the new import tariff rates kick in from August 1, 2025, the focus is back on US trade policies and their spillover effects globally. Financial markets, however, seem to have taken trade policy uncertainties in their stride, possibly reflecting optimism on reaching trade deals that are less disruptive to the global economy. Even so, underpricing of macroeconomic risk by financial markets remains a concern. According to the article, the average trade tariff rates are set to touch levels unseen since the 1930s. Moreover, the risk of imposition of new high tariffs looms large for additional sectors. The evolving pattern of global trade flows and supply chains are far from settled, the article highlighted, adding that these uncertainties pose considerable headwinds to global economic prospects. 'Amidst rising trade uncertainties and geo economic fragmentation, building more resilient trade partnerships presents a strategic opportunity for India to deepen its integration with global value chains,' it said. In addition, measures to accelerate domestic investment in infrastructure and structural reforms aimed at improving competitiveness and productivity would build resilience while supporting the growth momentum.

What Is ‘Everesting' Challenge? The Brutal Climb That Claimed Life Of NYC Millionaire
Last Updated: Originally from Westport, Connecticut, Leykind worked at CG Sawaya Partners, a New York-based investment bank. Slava Leykind, a US-based millionaire and father of three, tragically lost his life after attempting the gruelling 'Everesting' endurance challenge on a Wyoming mountain. The 43-year-old banking executive died on July 2, just days after completing six intense ascents of Snow King Mountain in Jackson Hole. According to reports, Leykind went into cardiac arrest following the challenge and was immediately hospitalised in Idaho, where he later succumbed to his condition. Originally from Westport, Connecticut, Leykind worked at CG Sawaya Partners, a New York-based investment bank. Known for his professional success and dedication to fitness, he set out last month to take on the Everesting challenge, a physically punishing test that involves climbing the same mountain repeatedly until one has scaled the equivalent height of Mount Everest. On June 27, Leykind began his climb at 6 am, tackling the steep 1,500-foot ascent of Snow King Mountain. He managed six full ascents throughout the day before beginning to feel unwell. By 11:30 pm, emergency responders from Jackson Hole Fire and EMS arrived at the scene to provide urgent medical care and transported him to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. Despite efforts by medical staff, Leykind passed away five days later. Teton County Coroner Brent Blue later confirmed that his death was caused by 'an electrolyte imbalance causing cardiac arrest." Leykind is survived by his wife, Amy Keller Leykind, and their three children. Born in Minsk, USSR, he emigrated to the US in 1988. The New York Post accessed his obituary, which read, 'Despite his significant professional success at a young age, Slava's role as a husband and father was his greatest achievement, passion, and pride." What Is The 'Everesting' Challenge? Inspired by the world's tallest peak, the Everesting Challenge pushes participants to climb a mountain multiple times until they have reached a total elevation gain of 29,032 feet — the height of Mount Everest. At Snow King Mountain, this means hiking the 1,500-foot peak 19 times in a single effort. After each ascent, participants ride a gondola back to the base to begin the next climb. The challenge tests not only physical endurance but also mental resilience, and it has become increasingly popular among athletes and extreme fitness enthusiasts. Unfortunately, for Slava Leykind, the extreme nature of this challenge proved fatal.

Trade uncertainties posing headwinds to global economic prospects: RBI bulletin
Multiple uncertainties emanating from the high tariffs to be imposed by the Trump administration in the U.S. poses considerable headwinds to global economic prospects, while underpricing of macroeconomic risk by financial markets remains a concern, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) officials have said in the July edition of the RBI Bulletin released on Wednesday. And amidst rising trade uncertainties and geo economic fragmentation, India has an opportunity to deepen its integration with global value chains by building more resilient trade partnerships, they said. 'As intense negotiations are underway for closing trade deals before the new import tariff rates kick in from August 1, 2025, the focus is back on U.S. trade policies and their spillover effects globally. Financial markets, however, seem to have taken trade policy uncertainties in their stride, possibly reflecting optimism on reaching trade deals that are less disruptive to the global economy,' the offiicials said in the article 'State of the Economy'. 'Even so, underpricing of macroeconomic risk by financial markets remains a concern. The average trade tariff rates are set to touch levels unseen since the 1930s. Moreover, risk of imposition of new high tariffs looms large for additional sectors,' they wrote in the article. Stating that the evolving pattern of global trade flows and supply chains were far from settled, they stated, 'These uncertainties pose considerable headwinds to global economic prospects.' Despite global uncertainties, the Indian economy remains largely resilient, supported by strong macroeconomic fundamentals, they emphasised. 'Easing inflation, improving kharif season prospects, front-loading of government expenditure, targeted fiscal measures and congenial financial conditions for faster transmission of rate reductions should support aggregate demand in the economy, going forward,' they said. 'Amidst rising trade uncertainties and geo economic fragmentation, building more resilient trade partnerships presents a strategic opportunity for India to deepen its integration with global value chains,' they pointed out. In addition, measures to accelerate domestic investment in infrastructure and structural reforms aimed at improving competitiveness and productivity would build resilience while supporting the growth momentum, they mentioned. Meanwhile, the domestic economy headline inflation, as measured by YoY changes in the all-India consumer price index (CPI), declined to 2.1% in June 2025 (the lowest since January 2019) from 2.8% in May . The fall in headline inflation by 72 bps came from a favourable base effect of 133 bps, which more than offset a positive price momentum (m-o-m change) of 62 bps. 'For the first time since February 2019, food group registered a deflation of (-) 0.2% (YoY) in June as against an inflation of 1.5% in May. This was driven by a deflation within vegetables, pulses, and meat and fish sub-groups,' the officials said. Inflation in cereals, fruits, milk and products, oils and fats, sugar and confectionery, and prepared meals moderated while that in eggs edged up. Core inflation inched up to 4.4% in June 2025 from 4.2% in May. The increase in core inflation was primarily due to a sharp rise in inflation in the personal care and effects sub-group. Sub-groups such as recreation and amusement, household goods and services, health, transport and communication and education also recorded an increase in inflation. While clothing and footwear recorded lower inflation, that of pan, tobacco and intoxicants, and housing remained unchanged, they added. In terms of regional distribution, both rural and urban inflation eased further to 1.7% and 2.6%, respectively, in June, with a greater fall witnessed in rural inflation.
