Govt says there's no directive to block Reuters X handle in India
The Government of India has clarified that it has not issued any order to withhold the X account of the international news agency Reuters in the country. "There is no requirement from the Government of India to withhold Reuters handle. We are continuously working with X to resolve the problem," an official spokesperson said in a statement. This clarification comes after Reuters' X account was found to be withheld in India, prompting concerns over press freedom and censorship. Users attempting to access the handle were shown a notice stating that the account had been withheld "in response to a legal demand". Reuters confirmed the development earlier, saying it was seeking more information on why its handle was blocked in India. According to officials familiar with the matter, the only request for blocking Reuters' X account was issued on May 7, during Operation Sindoor launched against Pakistan following the massacre of 26 Indian tourists in Pahalgam in an Islamabad-sponsored terrorist attack. This was a part of a national security exercise. However, although several hundred accounts were blocked due to national security reasons, no action was implemented to block the Reuters handle on X despite the government order, the official said. It appears that X, owned by Elon Musk, may have mistakenly enforced the outdated order. "The issue is not relevant anymore. The government has reached out to X, asking them to explain the blocking and to lift the embargo," a senior official said. Reuters has not issued any public statement on the issue. Despite the block on Reuters' main and Reuters World handles, several affiliated accounts, including Reuters Tech News, Reuters Fact Check, Reuters Asia, and Reuters China, remain accessible within India.

Retirees are flocking to Wyoming, not Florida, census based study finds
A new analysis by online insurance platform BizInsure, based on a decade of US Census Bureau data (2013–2023), reveals that Wyoming has attracted retirees at a faster rate than any other state between 2013 and 2023, defying conventional wisdom that places Florida and Arizona at the top of retirement wish lists. The study, published in June 2025, shows a notable shift in how and where Americans are choosing to spend their post-work lives. Also Read: Why summer arrives when Earth is farthest from the Sun: the Aphelion paradox by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas In Dubai | Search Ads Get Rates Wyoming has seen the fastest growth in the retiree population in the past decade, followed closely by South Carolina and Idaho. Notably, neither Florida nor Arizona cracked the top 10 for fastest-growing retirement destinations. Live Events The new top 10 retirement states by growth: Wyoming South Carolina Idaho Maine New Mexico Connecticut Hawaii Mississippi Delaware Tennessee Retirees seek nature, not neighbors The findings signal a broader shift in retirement priorities. As Chip Lupo of WalletHub (a website that ranks the best cities and states for retirement) told USA TODAY, 'A generation ago, you just went to Florida. That whole line of thinking has changed dramatically.' The report notes that today's retirees are 'moving to escape,' often opting for fewer neighbors and more nature. States with lower population densities and rich natural landscapes are becoming increasingly attractive, replacing the once-universal appeal of beaches and sunshine. Florida, Arizona still lead in city rankings While Florida and Arizona may have slipped in overall state growth, they remain powerhouses for retirement cities. BizInsure's parallel ranking of the top 10 retirement-friendly cities, based on healthcare, affordability, and amenities, places Peoria, Arizona, at number one. Top 10 retirement cities: Peoria, Arizona North Las Vegas, Nevada Cape Coral, Florida Chandler, Arizona Henderson, Nevada Reno, Nevada Port St. Lucie, Florida Surprise, Arizona Mesa, Arizona Durham, North Carolina Conflicting rankings add nuance A different report by AARP, released in March, offers a contrasting view. Using similar Census data but focusing on people who moved specifically for retirement, AARP ranked Massachusetts as the most popular destination, surprisingly, given its high cost of living. Florida followed at number two. AARP's top retirement states: Massachusetts Florida Illinois Kentucky North Carolina Tennessee Delaware Vermont New Mexico Louisiana Cost factor Affordability remains central to retirement decisions. A GOBankingRates report found that West Virginia is the cheapest state to retire in 2025, requiring an estimated $712,913 in savings and $50,954 in annual expenses. In contrast, retiring in Hawaii could cost over $2.2 million. Cheapest states to retire (2025): West Virginia Mississippi Arkansas Kansas Kentucky Most expensive: Hawaii California Massachusetts New York Connecticut Where retirees live alone A separate report from Caring focused on the best states for seniors who live alone, a growing demographic now representing over a quarter of retirees. States like Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas scored highest based on healthcare access, safety, and affordability.

Nifty50 + Nifty Next50: The no-brainer formula for long-term wealth creation
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads As the Indian market matures, we are seeing a number of new products, categories, and investment options. But has this created a 'problem of plenty'? Can passive investing help solve this? Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads One common no-brainer strategy is investing in Nifty 50 and Nifty Next 50 ETFs or funds. Is this effective for those looking for simplicity? Are we finally at a tipping point in India where passive investing becomes the default, not the alternative? While SIP is often called the wisest way to invest, is it especially relevant for passive funds? Does lump-sum investing make sense in passives? There have been reports of increased ETF buying during sharp market falls. Can ETFs serve as trading products during such times? We spoke about how passives can simplify investing, but the market is now flooded with thematic indices. How do you see this trend evolving? What's your outlook on new product launches — will we see more thematic or factor-based ETFs, or will broad indices still dominate? In a market flooded with countless investment options and complex strategies, sometimes the most effective approach is also the simplest. According to Anil Ghelani , CFA and Head of Passive Investments at DSP Mutual Fund , investors looking for long-term wealth creation need only consider a straightforward combination: Nifty 50 and Nifty Next 50 funds."These two indices offer a good mix of stability and growth," explains Ghelani, highlighting how the Nifty 50 provides exposure to established sector leaders that have weathered multiple business cycles, while the Nifty Next 50 captures the next generation of potential market leaders across diverse economic most important financial goals are usually common — for most of us, they are aligned with the happiness of the family, a better life for children, or starting or expanding a business/profession. Yet, many of us often get preoccupied with the wrong priorities — like increasing the number of funds or chasing the next fancy investment a better approach could be to keep it simple and just aim to achieve our financial goals with a reasonable degree of certainty. So, with that approach in mind, yes — most certainly, passive investing can be considered a very effective solution to the potential confusion created by the growing number of investment products. Passive funds simplify the journey by providing low-cost, transparent, and relatively easy-to-understand exposure to markets, without the human bias of a fund manager. This reduces the need to constantly analyse sectors, stocks, or fund manager performance. So, passive investment funds like ETFs and index funds can offer a simpler and more disciplined approach that helps you stay invested without two indices offer a good mix of stability and growth. The companies in the Nifty 50 Index give exposure to sector-leading firms that have navigated multiple business cycles. On the other hand, companies in the Nifty Next 50 Index, while mainly large-cap stocks, often include the next generation of potential leaders from a wider range of sectors that are key economic drivers. So yes, if you are a long-term investor seeking simplicity and efficiency, I agree with the popular recommendation of combining Nifty 50 and Nifty Next 50. This can form the core of your portfolio, without the need for frequent changes or monitoring. Similarly, we could also consider the BSE Sensex Index and BSE Sensex Next 30 awareness of passive funds has surely reached a tipping point in India. But I strongly believe that in decision-making, 'AND' is always more powerful than 'OR.' So why should one be the default? In my view, a better outcome is to have passive funds as part of a core allocation and other products like active funds or AIFs as part of a satellite allocation. You may get better risk-adjusted returns by having a passive core portfolio delivering market returns, and a satellite portfolio attempting to generate excess returns beyond the broader and passive funds are a natural fit. Systematic investing helps manage volatility and builds discipline, while passive funds lower costs and avoid selection bias. That said, lump-sum investments in passive funds are also very useful — especially during market dips or for long-term goals. Another important use case is when you believe a certain market segment or sector is undervalued. For example, if you feel defensive sectors like healthcare or IT are relatively undervalued today and have growth potential, then lump-sum allocations to an index fund or ETF focused on that sector may be a good When markets fall sharply, ETF volumes on NSE and BSE often spike. This reflects long-term investors finding corrections to be attractive entry points. One of the key advantages of ETFs is that, rather than picking a few stocks which could go right or wrong, you can buy a broad-based ETF and participate in the market's recovery. So, if you're a well-informed investor comfortable trading on the exchange, ETFs can be effective trading tools during short-term afternoon I go to my cafeteria and have the standard thali — simple chapati, sabzi, dal, and chawal. But once a quarter, after our rebalance trades are done, I like to enjoy fancy Italian food with the team — maybe with some dessert too. In my view, it's always good to have options — both in the cafeteria and in investing. As our markets evolve, we'll see more index funds and ETFs that offer exposure to narrow segments, sectors, or niche themes. Many investors will still stick to simple core products, but such thematic products must be available for those who want we'll see both. Certain investors or advisors will want products targeting specific sectors or themes for portfolio allocation. There will also be packaged products for DIY investors. While broad-market funds will continue to dominate AUM, smart beta and sectoral funds will persist — albeit with smaller AUM. To offer context, in the U.S., as of December 2024, smart beta funds comprised about 13% of total equity passive fund AUM.
