The Left parties, while supporting the Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government politically, have decided to contest upcoming bypolls independently.

Gold prices dip as oil-driven inflation concerns weigh
SUMMARY
Gold prices declined as rising oil costs fueled inflation fears, prompting expectations that central banks may maintain higher interest rates longer. Elevated rates reduce gold's appeal since it yields no interest. Crude oil surges, driven by supply concerns and geopolitical tensions, pushed inflation expectations higher, strengthening the US dollar and Treasury yields—both negative for gold. Investors shifted toward interest-bearing assets, pressuring bullion. Analysts warn sustained oil rallies could keep gold under pressure despite its safe-haven status amid global uncertainty.
