What’s Happening Beyond Markets?
- As per a report by SBI Research, most Indian states recorded CPI inflation below 3% in January 2026 under the new series. However, Telangana stood out with the highest inflation at 4.9%, driven by structural economic shifts toward services.
- According to a report by Nuvama, India’s cement demand improved in February and is expected to remain robust through March. However, the sector faces near-term profitability risks stemming from ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and rising global pet coke prices.
- Amid the escalating West Asia conflict, government sources confirm there are no plans to ration petrol and diesel. Despite Qatar Energy declaring force majeure, India remains in a comfortable energy security position with an eight-week inventory of crude oil.

What is Overconfidence Bias?
Overconfidence bias is our brain’s delusion that we are smarter than the market. It’s the psychological trap of believing our stock picks are foolproof, often confusing a lucky bull run with our own financial genius. We treat the market like a game we’ve mastered, convinced our gut feelings outweigh data. We let ego, rather than evidence, drive our trades.
The Fix: Stop mistaking a rising tide for your own swimming skills. Keep an honest investment journal to track your actual win rate, and always diversify. Remember, the market humbles everyone eventually.
