Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 30 (ANI): The Nifty 50 index opened at 23,796.90 with a marginal decline of 16.50 points or 0.07 per cent, while the BSE Sensex opened at 78,637.90 points with a decline of 61.17 points or 0.08 per cent. Experts noted that weak buying sentiments in the markets have dampened the possibility of a year-end rally. Markets are expected to remain under pressure, and any sharp movement is likely to come only after Donald Trump's policy announcements in his second term. Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market Expert told ANI said, "Looking like a dull week ahead for Indian markets with Santa Claus deciding that market investors did not deserve a rally this year. Asian markets are soft on the back of the tech led slight fall in US markets on Friday. As Trump takes charge of the White House on 20 th Jan, all eyes will be on his first few Executive orders. Stock markets will wait for clarity as with Trump, every statement is to create opportunistic space for negotiations. Not looking good for now for global or Indian markets". In the sectoral indices on the NSE, all sectoral indices opened with a decline, and selling pressure dominated the markets. In the Nifty 50 list, 14 stocks opened in the green, while 36 stocks declined. The top gainers included Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports, Bharti Airtel, ITC, and Nestle India. The top losers included BPCL, ONGC, Hindalco, and JSW Steel. "Support remains inside the 23500 and 23640 areas. As before, a daily close above 24150 is needed for bulls to reassert themselves. Seasonally speaking and based on 25 years of data, the Nifty has risen 71 per cent of the time in the last two days of the calendar year with average and median returns of 0.7 per cent and 0.4 per cent, respectively" said Akshay Chinchalkar, Head of Research, Axis Securities. In 2024, the market started with weak sentiment. After that, it outperformed with back-to-back bullish candles, making new highs. However, from October onwards, it has been falling sharply due to heavy FII selling, exceeding ₹ 1,70,863 crore in the last three months. Uncertainty surrounding the U.S. Presidential Election, tensions in the Middle East, rising bond yields, a strong dollar, mixed earnings reports for the September quarter, and elevated stock valuations have all contributed to a grim outlook. "Nifty 50 is trading around strong resistance at 23800. As we are stepping into a new year, this key level is one to definitely note for 2025. 24650 and 25300 act as strong resistance levels. A breakout above these levels would indicate a strong bullish rally in 2025. 23300 acts as a crucial support level. A breakdown below this support would signal a strong downtrend" said Sunil Gurjar, SEBI Registered Research Analyst, Founder- Alphamojo Financial Services. In other Asian markets, Japan's Nikkei 225, Hong Kong's Hang Seng, and Taiwan's Weighted Index were down at the time of filing this report, while South Korea's KOSPI was up marginally. (ANI)Jimmy Carter is widely acknowledged as the first president to effectively use music and musicians to help propel himself into office. But the way he harnessed the star power of artists such as Bob Dylan, Greg Allman and Willie Nelson never appeared transactional or cynical, and also predated those other musical presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. From Carter’s earliest years growing up in rural Georgia, music was a constant in his life. Quite simply, he was a fan (although he was never a performer). The music he was first exposed to was gospel. Raised as a Southern Baptist, his affinity for the music from the black churches of Plains, Georgia, along with his lifelong position as an anti-segregationist, has been credited in part for his overwhelming popularity with black voters. Later, after he became governor of Georgia and was weighing up a run for the presidency, Carter’s musical tastes had expanded to encompass a wide range of genres, from country and blues to jazz and rock ’n’ roll. Along with much of the country, he had become a fan of Georgia group the Allman Brothers Band. After Greg Allman visited the governor’s mansion in 1974, he agreed to do some fund-raising gigs for Carter’s campaign, which was just about broke. “It was the Allman Brothers that helped put me in the White House by raising money when I didn’t have any money,” Carter said in 2020 documentary Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President . If there was a political risk in associating himself with long-haired counterculture figures such as the Allmans, Carter didn’t seem to care. “I was practically a nonentity, but everyone knew the Allman Brothers,” he said. “And when the Allman Brothers endorsed me, all the young people said if the Allman Brothers like Jimmy Carter then we can vote for him.” Loading A diverse roster of other artists, including John Denver, Toots and the Maytals and Charlie Daniels, also helped top up Carter’s election war chest. After he beat Gerald Ford to the presidency, Carter wasn’t about to forget other big-name music friends, including Dylan and Nelson, who had helped him along the way. “People didn’t like me being deeply involved with Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan,” said Carter in the documentary. “But I didn’t care about that because I was doing what I really believed, and the response from the followers of those musicians was much more influential than a few people who thought being associated with rock ’n’ roll and radical people was inappropriate for a president.” Throughout Carter’s presidency, some of the biggest names of the era played at the White House, including in a 1978 concert when he brought together an unimaginable collection of jazz greats – Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Ron Carter, Dizzy Gillespie and George Benson. Looking back in 2020, Carter summed up his thoughts. “I think music is the best proof that people have one thing in common,” he said.
