“The total recovered cases stand at 96,06,111. These are among the highest globally. The gap between recoveries and active cases is bridging fast and presently stands at 93,02,472,” the ministry said.

According to the ministry, 71.61 per cent of the new recovered cases are concentrated in 10 states and Union territories (UTs) –Kerala, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat.

Kerala has reported the maximum number of single-day recoveries with 4,471 newly recovered cases. A total of 2,627 people recuperated in West Bengal followed by 2,064 in Maharashtra, it said.

Elon Musk's "Use Signal" Post Spurred Massive Rally For The Wrong One

A two-word app recommendation from Elon Musk has turned into a massive rally in the shares of a tiny medical device company in another case of mistaken identity. “Use Signal,” the Tesla Inc. chief executive officer wrote on Twitter on Jan. 7, apparently referring to the encrypted messaging service. By the end of the day, Signal Advance Inc. shares had surged more than sixfold. That was enough to push Signal Advance’s rally more than 5,100% in three trading days giving it a market valuation of $390 million. Despite reports about the confusion on Friday, the stock has continued to rally.

In the Budget last week, the government promised to ensure MSP of key crops at 1.5 times the cost of production. This could mean at least a 50-70-basis-points increase in the headline inflation number. While banks and bond markets have already signaled the end of the interest rate easing cycle, the MPC may keep the repo rate unchanged at 6 percent. Inflation risks Although, experts suggest the infl
