RBI Greenlights Vinay Tonse as Yes Bank CEO as SMBC-Backed Lender Moves to End Succession Uncertainty

Yes Bank, backed by SMBC, announced that the Reserve Bank of India has given the nod to Vinay Muralidhar Tonse as managing director and CEO for a three-year stint, paving the way for a leadership change in early April. Tonse, who led retail operations at State Bank of India until November 30, will take over from Prashant Kumar, who stepped in following the bank’s 2020 bailout.

US economic calendar today: Jobless claims, JOLTS hit as Wall Street futures steady

U.S. stock index futures were largely flat early Thursday as traders waited for weekly jobless claims and a delayed report on job openings, and weighed Alphabet's new AI spending plan ahead of Amazon's results later in the day. By 5:16 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis, futures contracts tied to the index, were down 36 points, or 0.07%, while S&P 500 E-minis were up 9 points, or 0.13%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 78.25 points, or 0.31%. Alphabet fell 2.4% in premarket trading after laying out capital expenditure plans that could nearly double this year, while Qualcomm slid 10.4% and Arm dropped 7%; chip names such as Broadcom rose, and “unforgiving scrutiny over AI capex continues to spook investors,” said Thomas Monteiro, senior analyst at Investing.com.

Silver price today: Spot silver falls over 11% as dollar firms and traders cash out

Spot silver dropped again on Thursday, down 11.3% to $78.13 an ounce by 0920 GMT, after tumbling nearly 17% earlier in the session. This came as investors pared risk following a brief two-day rally. The metal slipped on a firmer U.S. dollar and easing geopolitical tensions, which reduced safe-haven appeal. “The market has not found an equilibrium yet,” said Julius Baer analyst Carsten Menke. Saxo Bank’s Ole Hansen pointed to heavy selling once silver failed to break past $90.50—a key resistance level where sellers typically emerge. Adding to the pressure: weaker Chinese demand ahead of Lunar New Year and reports of a sizable short position.

Google’s $185B AI spending plan jolts tech stocks as AMD plunges

World stocks dipped Thursday after Alphabet unveiled plans to boost capital spending to as much as $185 billion by 2026. Chipmaker AMD’s 17% drop the day before added to a tech selloff that’s erased nearly $850 billion in market value this month.
