New York, January 11, 2026, 13:41 EST — Market closed. U.S. real estate stocks enter the week as the Trump administration’s mortgage-bond strategy takes shape.

FHFA Director William Pulte has kicked off with a $3 billion purchase, according to Bessent, while the Fed is allowing about $15 billion a month to roll off.

Gurugram water supply disrupted after Basai pipeline damage as Delhi’s smog stays ‘very poor’

Gurugram water supply disrupted after Basai pipeline damage as Delhi’s smog stays ‘very poor’

A damaged pipeline supplying Gurugram’s Basai water treatment plant has disrupted water flow to large parts of the city. The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority halted supply from the Chandu Budhera plant and began repairs. The outage affected Sectors 1–23 and 81–115, covering around 150 colonies and villages in Old Gurugram plus nearly 50 societies in newer sectors. GMDA said it was providing limited water from Basai to some areas while the fixes were underway. This incident highlights just how fragile the pipe network is across the Delhi-National Capital Region. One break alone can plunge long stretches into low pressure for hours. It’s crucial now, with winter demand rising, tanker supply tightening in certain areas, and a cluster of weather and pollution warnings hitting the neighboring capital.
