following an action-packed AI Summit in New Delhi last week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;text-align:left\"><strong>Our main story today is the New Delhi <\/strong><strong>D<\/strong><strong>eclaration, which marked the conclusion of the week-long summit.<\/strong> The declaration, signed by 89 countries, calls for the democratization of AI as India positions itself as the voice of the Global South on AI.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;text-align:left\"><strong>A<\/strong><strong>dia<\/strong><strong> is back in action as it plans to anchor the IPO of the renewables firm CleanMax.<\/strong> In other Adia-linked news, a private bank backed by the SWF is embroiled in a scandal that has sent the lender\u2019s shares tumbling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Also:<\/strong> JSW is planning a massive port build-out, anchoring its global expansion

to reduce punitive tariffs by up to 50%. <\/strong>Earlier this month, Washington announced that it would lower tariffs to 18% as India committed to purchasing USD 500 bn of American goods over five years and cutting Russian oil imports. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>New tariff conundrum: <\/strong>Following the court\u2019s

It\u2019s about war and diplomacy. <\/strong>Platforms like Polymarket have turned nearly every headline into a tradable event, with daily trading volumes topping USD 100 mn. The business is booming: the total positions taken on these platforms surpassed USD 8.3 bn in December, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/society\/ng-interactive\/2026\/jan\/30\/polymarket-prediction-markets-betting\" style=\"\">The Guardian<\/a> reports. But as bns flow into transactions tied to geopolitical flashpoints, national security experts and lawmakers are raising concerns about what happens when global crises become financial instruments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>At the heart of the debate is the incentive structure itself.<\/strong> Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan has openly <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/polymarket-ceo-shayne-coplan-online-betting-platform-60-minutes-transcript\/\" style=\"\">praised<\/a> the model, saying \u201cit creates this financial incentive for people to go and divulge the information to the market.\u201d Critics argue that this very feature rewards those with material, non-public information. Blockchain analyst Andrew 10 Gwei described insider trading as \u201ca core feature of the system,\u201d claiming it is what makes prediction markets so fast and often so accurate. This advantage concentrated wealth by granting fewer than 0.04% of accounts more than 70% of the total realized gains, accumulating USD 3.7 bn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Broadcasting secrets:<\/strong> Highly accurate positions have appeared shortly before major global events, such as when one user placed tens of thousands of USD on contracts just 24 hours before 200 Israeli fighter jets bombed Iran, earning USD 128k in the process. Former White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter warned that such dynamics could have serious consequences on US national security. \u201cIf you know we\u2019re going to bomb Iran in the next week and you start placing [wagers], then the prediction market tells the Iranians they\u2019re about to get bombed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A weapon for foreign influence:<\/strong> The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticcouncil.org\/dispatches\/weaponizing-the-odds-prediction-markets-as-a-new-vector-for-foreign-influence\/\" style=\"\">Atlantic Council<\/a> has described prediction markets as \u201cdual-use infrastructure.\u201d Unlike traditional markets, these platforms often operate with thinner liquidity, making them more vulnerable to coordinated actors\u2019 trading activity. In theory, state or non-state actors could take strategic positions to move odds, shape narratives, or amplify misinformation. During volatile geopolitical moments, even small shifts in pricing could feed back into online discourse, reinforcing speculation or panic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Governing for gains:<\/strong> The scale of money involved raises the specter of officials influencing real-world decisions to protect personal trading positions. A bill has already been introduced in the US Congress that would bar political insiders from participating in these markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>However, supporters argue that these markets improve price discovery and democratize<\/strong><strong> forecasting. <\/strong>Critics counter that transforming war and diplomacy into tradable contracts risks creating incentives that thrive on instability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>(** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">It is shaping up to be a volatile week of trading, as markets this morning reacted to US President Donald Trump\u2019s latest tariff announcement and braced for Nvidia\u2019s earnings, out later this week.
