Hi everyone, I’m Mridula , and welcome to the sixth edition of Weekly Tidbits. We spend a lot of time reading interesting stories that never make it into a full Daily Brief piece.

But what is MCX?” I told him it was a commodity exchange. Just like stocks trade on an exchange, commodities such as gold and silver trade on MCX. I was pleasantly surprised at myself. Three months ago, if someone had asked me the same question, I probably would have stared at them for a few seconds, said “yeah, yeah,” and gone down a…

With that said, let’s get started! If you prefer watching the video…
