**Mumbai, India – March 8, 2025** – Global markets saw mixed results today, with gold prices inching up due to a weakening US dollar and anticipation of key US economic data. Spot gold reached $2,922.86 per ounce. Meanwhile, the crypto market experienced volatility, with notable gains and losses among various cryptocurrencies. Investors are advised to monitor market trends closely.

In India, the Traders Gurukul’s BOTS summit, a major event for regional retail options traders, concluded successfully. The event, held on the second or third Sunday of each month, connects brokers with potential clients.

Mukka Proteins reported robust order books worth approximately ₹200 crore, including recent purchase orders totaling ₹44.28 crore. Positive news also emerged from the pharmaceutical sector with a Certificate of Suitability issued by the EDQM for a Quetiapine Fumarate API product.
