Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries and creating unprecedented career opportunities. Yet for many young women, particularly those from smaller cities, the biggest barrier to entering the technology workforce is not ambition-it is access to practical skills, industry exposure and the confidence to turn learning into a career.

Across Uttar Pradesh, Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) is helping bridge that gap.

Samsung's flagship future-tech skilling programme has trained more than 26,500 young people across the country, including over 8,000 students in Uttar Pradesh, making the state one of the programme's leading centres for future-tech skilling. Of these, 2,406 are women, reflecting Samsung's commitment to encouraging more young women to pursue careers in technology.

Crude oil is stabilising near $80 a barrel after Monday's nearly 5% decline, its sharpest single-day fall in weeks, as markets assess easing geopolitical tensions. Precious metals have remained resilient, with gold trading in a narrow $4,030-$4,050 an ounce range and silver recovering to around $58 after briefly slipping below $57. A weaker US dollar, now at its lowest level since mid-June, has supported both metals, while progress in US-Iran talks over reopening the Strait of Hormuz has improved market sentiment. With markets still pricing a roughly 65% probability of a September Federal Reserve rate hike, investors will closely watch whether oil holds above $80.

"Crypto markets moved higher, with Bitcoin gaining 0.47% to around $63,602 and Ethereum rising 0.34% to $1,857. Bitcoin held near its short-term Moving Averages as institutional activity remained in focus. American Bitcoin reported record quarterly production of 932 BTC and expanded its reserve beyond 8,000 BTC, highlighting corporate participation.

Institutional interest in Ethereum remained visible, with US spot Ether ETFs recording $365.2 million in July inflows. Ethereum's Glamsterdam upgrade, scheduled for the second half of 2026, will focus on parallel processing, higher block capacity and network sustainability.

Institutional blockchain infrastructure expanded as Ripple invested in Zilo and Licuido to support tokenized asset issuance,  and collateral-mobility use on the XRP Ledger.

In Latin America, Brazil's crypto purchases reached $14.68 billion during the first half of 2026, led by stablecoins, while Argentine banking groups developed peso-backed programmable money. Solana raised its per-block compute ceiling by 66.7%, creating more capacity for unrelated transactions.

Bitcoin Futures traders could watch the $63,750-$64,300 recovery area, with $63,000 as the nearest level to hold. Ethereum could find support around $1,850-$1,860 and resistance near $1,875-$1,890."

Global markets started Tuesday higher after easing US-Iran tensions pushed crude oil lower and lifted equities. The Dow closed at a record high, while the S&P 500 gained 1.48% and the Nasdaq rose 2.13%, led by technology stocks. Brent crude fell to around $84, easing inflation concerns and pulling Treasury yields lower.

Crypto markets are trading in a narrow range even as global equities move higher. Bitcoin is holding between $63,500 and $64,000, while Ether remains near $1,860, indicating limited risk appetite. Lower oil prices have reduced short-term inflation pressure, but stronger US manufacturing data has strengthened the case for the Federal Reserve to keep policy tight for longer. This may continue to restrict liquidity flows into digital assets.

Technically, Bitcoin needs to break and hold above $64,000-$64,250 to improve momentum. Immediate support is near $62,300. ETH is defending the $1,820-$1,845 zone, but a move above $1,880 is needed to open further upside.

Institutional demand also remains weak, with recent ETF outflows and softer derivatives activity weighing on sentiment. Gold is consolidating near $4,050. Lower Treasury yields are supportive, while weaker safe-haven demand is limiting gains. Immediate resistance is at $4,060, with support at $4,025.

The macro backdrop remains balanced. The US ISM Manufacturing PMI rose to 55.6 in July, pointing to resilient economic activity while reducing expectations of near-term Fed rate cuts. Markets now await US labour data, corporate earnings, and further developments in the Middle East for direction.

The Nifty 50 opened with an upward gap, gaining 390 points (1.60%) and close at 24,774.30 supported by broad-based buying across IT and Banking stocks. US markets closed at a fresh record high, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rallied sharply supported by easing geopolitical tensions, lower oil prices, and strong corporate earnings.

Asian markets traded mixed in early trade as investors assessed the strong Wall Street rally alongside expectations of further Fed tightening. Crude oil prices traded lower, investors monitored developments in U.S.-Iran relations, though prices remained near three-week lows. GIFT Nifty indicated a flat to negative start for Indian equities

Technically, the strong bullish candle on the daily chart suggests the index is attempting to resume its intermediate uptrend after several months of consolidation. Nifty's immediate support is placed at the 24,500-24,300 psychological level, which is expected to provide a cushion against near-term declines. On the upside, a decisive close above 24,775 would confirm a fresh bullish breakout and strengthen the prevailing uptrend. Such a move could accelerate buying momentum, paving the way for the index to test the key 25,000 level. After four straight gains, profit-booking and stock-specific volatility cannot be ruled out, one should follow buy on deep strategy for the coming session.

The Nifty 50 extended its rally for a fourth consecutive session on Monday, surging 390.70 points or 1.60% to close at 24,774.30, supported by broad-based buying across sectors. Technology stocks led the advance, with the Nifty IT index rising over 3%, while the Bank Nifty gained 1.72% to scale a fresh record high. Market breadth remained healthy, with 2,705 stocks advancing against 1,496 declines, reflecting improving risk appetite. Global sentiment also remained supportive after the Dow Jones and S&P 500 closed at record highs, while the Nasdaq outperformed on renewed strength in technology stocks following easing geopolitical concerns and the resumption of diplomatic talks between the US and Iran.

Asian markets are trading mixed this morning, while Brent crude has eased nearly 5% to around $83 per barrel, providing a meaningful positive for India through lower inflationary pressures, an improved current account outlook and support for the rupee. However, GIFT Nifty indicates a slightly softer start, trading around 24,618.

From a technical perspective, the market structure continues to remain positive as long as the Nifty holds above the 24,500 support zone. Immediate resistance is placed near 24,900, and a decisive close above this level could pave the way towards 25,150. After four successive sessions of strong gains, some consolidation or profit booking at higher levels would be healthy, though the broader trend remains constructive. Investors should continue to monitor crude oil prices and geopolitical developments in the Middle East, which remain the key external risks for global and domestic markets.

India's quantum skilling model just changed. Instead of training one classroom at a time, QNu Labs, a global leader in full-stack sovereign quantum cybersecurity, incubated at IIT Madras Research Park and backed by the National Quantum Mission (NQM), has trained and certified SRM Institute of Science and Technology's first cohort of faculty qualified to deliver professional Quantum Communication courses.

The engagement also establishes a dedicated Quantum Communications Lab at SRMIST, equipped with real, industry-grade quantum-safe products - the same technology deployed across India's defence and banking networks. Students and researchers now have genuine hardware to build on, not simulations, fuelling research, innovation, and industry-ready talent from day one.

"BTC approached $64K after the ISM Manufacturing PMI rose to 55.6, its highest level since 2022. ISM is a leading indicator because purchasing managers often see shifts in demand before they appear in GDP or corporate earnings. A reading above 50 signals economic expansion, while stronger levels typically point to improving business activity and healthier risk appetite. Historically, sustained ISM readings above 55 have coincided with strong altcoin performance. If broader liquidity conditions improve alongside this trend, an altcoin season could begin to develop. Near term, $64K is resistance, while $63K remains key support."

Bitcoin is trading in the $63,000-$64,000 range as investors remain cautious amid growing macroeconomic uncertainty. A stronger Japanese yen, supported by an estimated $59 billion in currency intervention, has accelerated the unwinding of yen carry trades, reducing liquidity for risk assets. Notably, two of Bitcoin's three major corrections this year have occurred during similar periods of yen strength, highlighting the growing influence of global macro trends. Selling pressure has also increased after Strategy sold 1,638 BTC, its second-largest Bitcoin sale this year, signalling reduced institutional exposure. Bitcoin needs to reclaim $65,000 to improve near-term sentiment, while $60,000 acts as a major support level ahead of Friday's US jobs report.

At the close on Monday, the total market cap of all BSE Sensex companies stood at Rs 4,90,55,098.
