Why buying gold is important on Akshaya Tritiya
Akshaya Tritiya, also known as Akha Teej, is one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar. It is considered ideal for buying gold, investing in assets, and starting new ventures without consulting a 'muhurat' (auspicious timing).
Buying gold on Akshaya Tritiya
is believed to bring good fortune, prosperity, and continuous growth. Traditionally, families purchase gold coins, bars, or jewellery. In recent years, banks and fintech platforms have introduced digital gold, gold savings plans, and gold-backed mutual funds to tap into this sentiment.

Trump vs Musk: How a political feud threatens to send NASA into the ‘biggest crisis' in its history
The spectacle of President Donald Trump 's public feud with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has now spilled into one of America's most strategic and fragile domains: space. What began as a war of words over a contentious spending bill has become a flashpoint threatening to unravel decades of US leadership in space science and exploration. At the centre of the dispute is the White House's proposed federal budget, which seeks to radically reshape NASA's priorities. If passed, it could place over 40 current and future missions at risk, many involving climate science and planetary exploration, while funnelling resources into a narrowly defined vision: putting American boots back on the Moon, and eventually, on Mars. Adding fuel to the fire, Trump has openly threatened to cancel federal contracts with Musk's SpaceX, a company now central to NASA's operations. That threat risks not only logistical disruptions, like resupplying the International Space Station ( ISS ), but also casts long shadows over future crewed missions that depend on SpaceX's Starship rocket.

'Space science and exploration rely upon long-term planning and cooperation between government, companies and academic institutions.' $22 billion at stake At the heart of the storm are nearly $22 billion in government contracts awarded to SpaceX, spanning NASA's Commercial Crew Program, ISS cargo missions, and the Artemis Moon programme. The feud escalated on June 5, 2025, when Trump publicly threatened to scrap all government contracts with Musk's companies. Live Events Musk responded with a dramatic (later-deleted) post on X: 'In light of the President's statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.' He later backed down, replying to a user urging restraint: 'Good advice. Ok, we won't decommission Dragon.' NASA caught in political crossfire Even before this drama unfolded, NASA was staring down an existential challenge. The proposed budget includes a 25% overall cut, with science and Earth observation missions absorbing the brunt. Programmes that track climate change, explore the solar system, and enable global partnerships, some decades in the making, are now vulnerable. Casey Dreier, chief of space policy at the Planetary Society, called it 'the biggest crisis ever to face the US space programme.' That's no exaggeration: while the budget proposes a $100 million boost for Mars-related initiatives, almost everything else is on the chopping block. 'President Trump is repurposing NASA to land astronauts on the Moon before the Chinese, and eventually to plant a US flag on Mars,' said Dr Adam Baker, a space analyst at Cranfield University, reported BBC. 'Everything else is secondary.' Human spaceflight, too, is on edge SpaceX's Crew Dragon is currently NASA's only certified spacecraft capable of carrying astronauts to and from the ISS. Under a $5 billion contract, it ended NASA's reliance on Russia's Soyuz after the Space Shuttle's retirement. Presently, Crew Dragon is supporting the Crew-10 mission, while Axiom Space prepares a fourth private astronaut mission. Boeing's Starliner remains uncertified and unproven for long-term operational use. Without SpaceX, human spaceflight missions could face serious setbacks, Dreier warned: 'The potential cancellation of these contracts would delay or completely halt US-led missions to the ISS.' Artemis and Mars ambitions in jeopardy NASA's Artemis III mission, aiming to land astronauts on the Moon in 2027, relies on SpaceX's Starship as its lunar lander. So far, the company has received over $15 billion in NASA contracts for Falcon 9 and Starship development. But Starship's recent test flights have ended in failure, and if the partnership collapses, it could derail timelines and leave the door open for rivals, particularly China, to lead in lunar exploration. Trump's long-touted goal of sending astronauts to Mars, once aligned with Musk's vision, now appears politically volatile. This focus comes at the cost of near-term science and Earth-based priorities. The SLS vs Starship debate Trump officials have justified the cuts as a streamlining effort. NASA's Space Launch System (SLS), with a staggering $4.1 billion launch cost, has long been criticised for overruns and delays. The budget proposes sidelining SLS in favour of cheaper, reusable alternatives. But the private sector may not offer the stability required. Starship's repeated failures and Blue Origin's early-stage development raise questions. 'The worry is that NASA may be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire,' Dr Barber said. 'If SpaceX or Blue Origin run into trouble, Congress will have to foot the bill anyway.' Global partnerships fray NASA is not just a national agency; it's a cornerstone of international space cooperation. Two major joint missions with the European Space Agency, Mars Sample Return and the Rosalind Franklin rover, are in jeopardy due to US budget cuts. 'These missions are more than science, they're signals of trust and cooperation,' said Prof Sir Martin Sweeting of Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. ESA has signalled plans to build more autonomous space capabilities, reflecting a future where it cannot depend on US reliability. Earth loses out Ironically, some of the worst-hit programmes are the ones that help protect our own planet. Earth observation satellites, critical for tracking wildfires, droughts, and sea level rise, are at risk of shutdown. Over 40 active or planned missions are now in danger, including: DAVINCI+ and VERITAS (Venus missions) Landsat Next, critical for climate change monitoring EnVision, a joint mission with ESA Mars Sample Return, a flagship programme in partnership with ESA Existing missions like Juno, Mars Odyssey, New Horizons, and MAVEN, which could face premature shutdowns As per NASA's muted official response came via spokesperson Bethany Stevens: 'NASA will continue to execute upon the President's vision for the future of space. We will continue to work with our industry partners to ensure the President's objectives in space are met.' But former Deputy Administrator Lori Garver was more direct: 'A rogue CEO threatening to decommission spacecraft, putting astronauts' lives at risk, is untenable.' A legacy at risk This isn't just about rockets or rivalries. It's about a legacy of American leadership in space that now faces erosion due to political volatility and personal vendettas. As per Reuters, if Congress approves the budget, or allows it to take effect by default, the damage could be irreversible. NASA's 18,000-strong workforce faces uncertainty, and global trust in US-led space efforts may erode for years to come. As Dreier puts it: 'Once space missions are turned off, it is hard, if not impossible, to start them up again.'

Gold Rate Today: Yellow metal rises to Rs 97,200/10g as US-China trade uncertainty boosts demand
Gold prices rose on Wednesday amid lingering uncertainty over the finalisation of a U.S.-China trade agreement, prompting safe-haven buying ahead of key U.S. inflation data. At 10:50 am, August gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange ( MCX ) were trading at Rs 97,208 per 10 grams, up Rs 306 from the previous close. In contrast, July silver futures edged down by Rs 28 or 0.03% to Rs 1,06,721 per kg. In the global market, spot gold gained 0.5% to $3,339.60 an ounce (as of 0350 GMT), while U.S. gold futures also rose 0.5% to $3,361.20. U.S. and Chinese officials said on Tuesday they had agreed on a framework to revive their trade truce and lift China's export restrictions on rare earths. However, there was little indication of a long-term resolution to the trade dispute. After two days of talks in London, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the framework would be presented to President Donald Trump for approval, with the Chinese delegation also seeking a nod from President Xi Jinping . "Gold prices remain volatile as investors await a clearer resolution from the ongoing US-China trade negotiations taking place in London. A favorable outcome of the US-China trade talks is likely to drive gold prices down. Attention is also turning to inflation data set to be released over the next three days in both India and the UK. Additionally, Thursday's auction of long-term Treasury bonds may offer further guidance on price movements," said Aksha Kamboj, VP, India Bullion and Jewellers Association and Executive Chairperson, Aspect Global Ventures. The two countries had previously imposed tit-for-tat tariffs in April, escalating trade tensions. Talks in Geneva last month led to a rollback of some tariffs from triple-digit levels. Meanwhile, the World Bank lowered its global growth forecast for 2025 by 0.4 percentage points to 2.3%, citing trade tensions and uncertainty as major headwinds. Investors are now awaiting the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) report, due at 1230 GMT, for more clarity on the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. Most economists expect the Fed to hold interest rates steady for the next couple of months, with inflation risks still in focus. Elsewhere, spot silver was unchanged at $36.56 per ounce, platinum also steadied at $1,222.14, while palladium was up 0.6% to $1,066.19. "Gold has support at $3300-3275 while resistance is at $3345-3360. Silver has support at $36.20-35.90 while resistance is at $36.75-36.95. In INR, gold has support at Rs96,620-96,290 while resistance at Rs97,350-97,640. Silver has support at Rs105,859-105,050 while resistance is at Rs1,07,750-1,08,650," said Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities, Mehta Equities.
