Index likely to consolidate in range; Key support at 22,000-22,100

By Gaurav Arora

The March series Nifty futures is currently trading with a premium of around 90 points as compared to 150 odd at the start of the series. For the Index futures, FII Net Index Long exposure is at 40% which was at 35% at the start of series.

The Index is likely to consolidate in the range of 22,000-22,550 before any meaningful move for the remaining part of the month. 22,000-22,100 might be the immediate support and only a decisive close below it might bring in some downside.

VIX for the Nifty is currently at around 14 and likely to remain in the 13 to 18 levels implying a range of around 850 points in a month.

Streaming Service Peacock Lost $914 Million In 2020

NBCUniversal’s streaming platform Peacock lost $914 million in 2020. The numbers come via a filing by parent company Comcast with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

As reported by Variety, Peacock made $118 million for NBCUniversal in 2020. However, the company spent $989 million in what is termed “eliminations.” These are payments from within the company for Peacock to license movies and shows from other divisions. The filing by Comcast was made as part of its new method of reporting its results to the SEC, dividing its business into media, studios, and theme parks.

While $914 million is obviously a high figure, a loss is to be expected for a new service in its first year. Comcast executives previously told investors that they will be investing more than $2 billion into Peacock over its first two years, and expected the service to break even by 2025. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

The Palworld Pokemon Mod Returns With "Legally-Distinct Pocket Creatures"

The Pokemon in Palworld mod by Aussie YouTuber ToastedShoes is back after a DMCA from Nintendo, but now its characters and monsters are legally distinct, featuring evocative names like “yellow rat” and “blue penguin,” PCGamesN reports.

While Palworld itself has been the topic of much debate, with some saying its cute, colorful monster designs are too close to Pokemon’s, ToastedShoes went one step further by modding actual Pokemon and characters Misty and Ash into the game. Unsurprisingly, Nintendo’s lawyers apparently quickly went for him, resulting in DMCA takedowns against all his social media videos released about the mod.

Accordingly, the mod has now been released on Nexus Mods as “The Legally-Distinct Pocket Creatures Mod Pack,” with the designs changed enough to hopefully avoid Nintendo’s lawyersCome from Sports betting site VPbet. Player character Ash has been replaced by a model of T…
