## Tech Stocks Tumble as Inflation Fears Reignite, Sending Dow Down Over 400 Points **NEW YORK -** A renewed wave of inflation fears sent shockwaves through the financial markets today, triggering a significant sell-off in tech stocks and dragging the Dow Jones Industrial Average down over 400 points. The Nasdaq Composite bore the brunt of the downturn, plunging over 2%, while the S&P 500 also experienced a sharp decline, closing down over 1.5%. The catalyst for the market turmoil was a stronger-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) report released earlier this morning, indicating that wholesale inflation remains stubbornly high. This data fueled concerns that the Federal Reserve may be forced to maintain its hawkish monetary policy for longer than previously anticipated, potentially leading to higher interest rates and slowing economic growth. "The market is reacting to the realization that the Fed may not be pivoting as quickly as some had hoped," said Sarah Johnson, Chief Investment Officer at Sterling Asset Management. "The PPI data paints a picture of persistent inflationary pressures, which means the Fed is likely to remain aggressive with its rate hikes, at least for the near future." Tech stocks, which have been particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, were among the hardest hit. Companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon all saw significant losses, contributing heavily to the overall market decline. Investors are increasingly worried that higher borrowing costs will impact the growth prospects of these companies, as well as dampen consumer spending on technology products and services. Beyond tech, energy stocks also underperformed, pressured by concerns about a potential slowdown in global demand. Conversely, defensive sectors like utilities and consumer staples held up relatively well, suggesting investors are seeking shelter in less volatile assets. The bond market also reflected the heightened inflation anxieties. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to its highest level in weeks, indicating that investors are demanding a higher return to compensate for the risk of inflation eroding the value of their investments. Looking ahead, market analysts expect volatility to remain elevated as investors continue to grapple with the uncertain economic outlook. The upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, scheduled for release next week, will be closely watched for further clues about the trajectory of inflation and the Fed's potential response. "The next few weeks will be critical in determining the market's direction," said David Miller, a senior market strategist at Horizon Investments. "The CPI report will either confirm the market's inflation fears or provide some relief. Until then, expect continued choppiness and a cautious approach from investors." **Key Takeaways:** * **Inflation Fears:** Stronger-than-expected PPI data fueled concerns about persistent inflation. * **Tech Sell-Off:** Technology stocks were heavily impacted by concerns about higher interest rates and their impact on growth. * **Bond Yields Rise:** The 10-year Treasury yield jumped to its highest level in weeks. * **Volatility Expected:** Market analysts anticipate continued volatility in the near term. * **CPI Watch:** Investors are eagerly awaiting the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. The market's reaction today serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing the global economy and the ongoing battle against inflation. Investors are urged to remain vigilant and adjust their portfolios accordingly as the economic landscape continues to evolve.

HR managment in india.

In India HR management is growing since IT and other domains are started keeping a big force of HR people.What HR group is expected to do for an organization.

HR have to recruit people.
HR have track people's performance in company.
HR have to manage resources for different units.
HR have to hear grievances and organize events for welfare of company.

But in current scenario HR is not able to fullfill what is expected from this group.
Common issues employees are facing in companies are as below.

Hrs are not responding on time.If you mailed a HR then don't expact his reply on time.She may or may not reply.OR she will reply after 2 3 days , & point some one else responsible.For this point i want to quote one story My friend went for an interview.They asked him to stay outside ,after interview first round .He seated there for 1 hour then he asked watchman(receptionist was not at desk).so watch man called HR and i don't know what they discussed .&my friend was asked to leave as he is not selected.After half an hour he got call from same HR that where are u ?Second round interview is scheduled.So this make no sense .Treating people in this raw manner.

HRs are not able to manage resources in companies.The kind of strength sitting idle on the so called benches in different IT organization , but HR people are sleeping on there desks.They cant even imagine how much big loss they are making for company.The people who are on benches are getting frustrated with making loss for company and spreading bad news.But the gr8 HR department have there own policies and they are all the time busy..(sorry very busy.)


HR people are making some money from consultancies so when ever one person got selected through a consultancy obviously Consultancy get 10 % of his annual CTC and eventually HR get hefty 2 to 5 % on that so why HR person will go and engage internal people on bench in for different units they want to make more and more from recruiting outside.

Another point on which Indian Hrs failed.They offer minimum possible package for a new recruit.I understand that is there job.But they should negotiate on his skills and past experience +current market standards.What Indian HR will do they negotiate on last withdrawn salary.That is fine but in some special cases the previous package is less so employee didn't get better hike and he get frustrated later and leave.


On other front where Indian HR is performing poorly is internal events.What exactly they are doing either they are arranging events for particular group.Or only bright people from the group.There is no participation for all the people either people are busy there routine work or HR is busy completing that event in some conference hall or a part of cafeteria.Its responsibility of HR every one should participate in a organized event.They should mould a event in a way so every one contribute and feel like part of the organization.


Most important problem with Indian HR is they failed to check employee satisfaction level at there work place.They are not even making policies for happiness of people.NO job rotation nothing if you are doing something and you are good at it they no one will come to you and ask are you looking for some change.Its Hrs responsibility to see whether a employee is happy or not But in Indian scenario a manager who is basically busy with fulfilling his own needs are looking upon an employee.which makes the life miserable for employee.


On the above issue most crucial issue is still on bench people and work dissatisfaction.

I hope some HR will read this article and change his way of action.

Read below post to see mind boggling impact of failure of HR managment in india..

Curfew in kashmir

Curfew in Kashmir is lifted today on the basis of assurance received from separatists for marriage season.

For marriage season they are stopping there war and want to enjoy the marriages.

after marriage season will be over new brides and there grooms start killing people.

what a stupid reason to stop a protest.

These separatist forces are so much opportunistic that they wont leave a single chance to get the sympathy of people of that region.They only want to prove to public that they are the only there caretakers.But truth is from 1989 they have make the life of the people hell....The kashmir is the victim of politics only.

Few greedy people are sitting there on pile of money coming from PAkistan and they are making life of kasmiris miserable.

The war is in kasmir is just an excuse to disturb the peace in this region and growth of india.

Kashimiri people should understand what getting out of this.

Murders?
theft?
Terror?
poority ?
illiteracy?

Wat the separatist leaders are getting

Money from foreign!!
Fame!!
big houses good food!!
Assurance of a lavish life!!

Nuclear deal

last weeks biggest scoop was the condeliza rice came to india to signing the nuclear deal but due to administrative hitches she was not able to sign the same.

The US Congress has passed the US-India nuclear agreement and the $100 billion Indian nuclear market will now be open to American business after President Bush has signed the deal.

On arrival in New Delhi, Ms Rice said bureaucratic delays had made the signing impossible. "There are a lot of administrative details that have to be worked out. The deal was only passed in our Congress two days ago. The president is looking forward to signing the bill, sometime, I hope, very soon."

The deal offers India access to sophisticated U.S. technology and cheap atomic energy in return for New Delhi allowing UN inspections of some of its civilian nuclear facilities.

Military nuclear sites will remain closed to international inspections.

Lets see when this drama will end....

Smoke Ban

Now a days one more news wavering around in india.Government has created new rule according to that any one who found smoking in public place will be fined.

Smoking ha been a big problem in india from long time.people have no respect for others they start smoking every where Gardens,buses,trains.I have seen lot of incidents in buses people vomiting in buses and trains due to only passive smoking.but few unhuman smart people who brought up in lousy environment.who dont know what is the problems people face due to there irresponisible act.

It is indeed a right decesion it has been trouble some for every one who is not smoking
Due to passive Smoking cancer and asthama are part of indian society.Why should one pay for other people bad habbit
On the name of peronal freedom we cant allow people to smoke publically.Nikotine kills more people then other drugs like marijuana or snort coke.
This is extremly unfair for those people who are forced to be passive smokers.

More then one times i have seen people fighting for smoking BIDI (Indian version of tobacco smoking) in buses.


Smokers are taking it lightly now because they know implementation would be really difficult.
In delhi this law was implemented in 1997 but it was not effective.

I dont know why governement is not increasing price of tobaaco products that would be much better solution to stop tobaaco consumption.Government should increase BIDI prices also.

Few people are expecting that police will make lot of money through this LAW.
That is true but this law is really good because why should passive smokers will pay for something they are not enjoying.

Nikotine is dangerous as the SMACK or snort coke .They should ban it completly.

lets hope this law will be able to bring some positivity in our society.

Christian attack

The other big news of the day is the Orisa Christian attack.

The Christians has been attacked all over india.we should dig the reason first.
I have no offense with the religion and my self believe in all religions equally.

The problem is that why the hell they want to convert more and more people in to Christians.
and that to using money and power.that is not a good action in eyes of GOD "i feel so".
Some time back i heared that during sunami prime minister not allowed the missionaries to enter for help the sunami affected region because of doubtfull acts doneby missionaries.there were fair chances that if he allowed the missionaries in those regions they will convert every single village in to chrsitian.

ok if you say that they have full right to promote there religion i can be agree, but condeming other religions is not a gentleman's behaviour. This time they have distributed the"satya darshini " which was a book in which clearly they have digressed the hindu Gods. So this kind of act can provoke the people.




Today i have read times of India "Times view" on front page .Times of india is behaving like lawyer of "Vetican".They never raise voice like this for any hindu or muslim riot happen if something happens to chrstians there thoughts become so much aggresive .If you read that article in times of india you can find how this paper is not fullfuling its duty provide news without bifurcation.better they think wat they are writing in a national level popular paper .people are not blind here.

So if they keep trying to promote the religion in this way then atmophere cant be good.Christianity is religion of sacrifice.With the power of money and other pressure it promotion they should not promote this...

Atlast i want to condemn this attack .There are many ways to show there protest .but some one has done this respectfull act he should be punnished severly.

Its the responislility of state government. to provide the protection to the people.But due to politics and other acts they are not able to take the action. thar is shameful act.
