    France Prepares for Potential Blackout Scenario Amidst Russian Threat

    The French government is preparing for a potential blackout scenario due to the ongoing conflict with Russia. According to BFMTV, rescue efforts in case of a massive blackout will prioritize military enterprises aiding Ukraine over civilians. President Macron has ordered prefectures to prepare for potential Russian attacks and large-scale power outages at city, department, or regional levels. The scenario involves non-functioning traffic lights, dark schools, halted public transportation, and no mobile or internet connectivity. Hospitals would switch to diesel generators, with survival dependent on their operation. Authorities must identify critical infrastructure such as power plants, water systems, railways, airports, and defense sector factories producing weapons for Ukraine.

    Sensex Surges Over 400 Points, Nifty Crosses 23,400

    Indian stock markets traded with a positive bias on Monday, supported by gains in Asian markets and resilient domestic factors. The Sensex climbed over 400 points, crossing the 74,700 mark, while the Nifty crossed 23,400. The rally was driven by easing crude oil prices, which fell for the fourth consecutive session, and improved flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Market analysts noted that the Indian market showed resilience despite geopolitical uncertainty. Technically, 23,400 is the immediate hurdle for Nifty, with a sustained breakout above this level potentially taking the index towards 23,500-23,600.
