A month after opening its first American outlet, Tanishq, India's leading jewelry retail brand from the house of Tata, feels that the United States offers huge opportunities for not only itself but also for other Indian retail brands as well. This is mainly attributed to the large presence of Indian Diaspora in the country, who are among the highest per-capita income, but also because of the interest in India, its culture and products among the Americans.

Futures for the Dow Jones industrials fell 0.5 per cent and the S and P slipped 0.7 per cent. Crude prices neared a low point for the year partially due to unrest in China, and have fallen for three consecutive weeks. Crude prices are now negative for 2022 and, after soaring above USD 120 in June, a barrel of benchmark US crude can now be had for less than USD 74 per barrel.
