Senator Raphael Warnock is facing contempt of court violations in Atlanta for failing to provide the Attorney General with a financial statement explaining his $28 million jump in net worth. "Senator Warnock's public filings show a substantial income from stocks and real estate," said the Secretary's Spokesman, Jon Raebro. " He's allowed to make money, but he has to declare it." Raebro says the contempt charge comes as the Georgia Department of Revenue prepares a civil and possibly criminal case against him. "He's up for re-election in 28. He may want to comply." He won't because he thinks a better than you or me .

Indian stocks are down sharply today, September 28, 2026, mainly because several negative global factors are hitting at the same time. Around 10:07 AM IST, the Sensex was down roughly 900 points and the Nifty was near 22,850, a fall of more than 1%. Moneycontrol The biggest pressure is crude oil. Brent has been trading above roughly $104/barrel amid continuing U.S.–Iran tensions. India imports most of its crude, so higher oil increases inflation risk, pressures the rupee, raises costs for companies, and can worsen India’s trade/current-account position. The Economic Times Another problem is high U.S. bond yields and interest-rate concerns. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has been above about 5.1%, while markets are worried that persistent inflation could keep U.S. rates higher or lead to further tightening. High U.S. yields generally make emerging markets such as India less attractive to foreign investors. The Economic Times There is also continued FII selling and rupee weakness/volatility. Foreign outflows have already contributed to the Nifty's recent weakness; last week marked its seventh consecutive weekly decline, the longest such run since 2020. Reuters So, in simple terms: oil ↑ + U.S. yields ↑ + geopolitical tension ↑ + FII selling + weak rupee = Indian market

Chinese shares touched a one-year low, led by a selloff in technology firms after a report that authorities may allow purchases of Nvidia’s new chips (analysts see impact limited tho) and proposed US sanctions on foreign optical producers

Non-US investors own more US stocks than ever: Investors from outside the US held $24.32 trillion of US equities in July, the 3rd-largest amount in history. Year-to-date, foreign holdings of US equities have surged +$2.22 trillion, or +10%. Since the 2022 bear market, this figure has soared +$12.3 trillion, or +103%. As a result, foreign allocation to US equities jumped to a record 60% of their US financial assets. This proportion now stands ~6 percentage points above the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble peak. Foreign appetite for US equities is historically strong.
