An optimized PFC/W emulsion contains 1 mM lipid per 1% (v/v) dispersed phase for an emulsifying monolayer; higher ratios result in triple layers. Low viscosity ratios ηD/ηC ≤ 5 and low PFC volume fractions lead to smaller monodisperse droplets.

Stock Market Live Updates 13 November 2024: Gift Nifty signals gap-down opening as market faces earnings and inflation pressures

Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Gift Nifty indicates a likely 100-point gap-down opening for Nifty at 23,870 on Wednesday as global markets remain weak. Analysts cite concerns over an earnings slowdown and persistently high inflation; Jefferies India downgraded full-year earnings for 63% of the 121 large companies it covers due to economic slowing. India’s retail inflation surged to a 14-month high of 6.21% in October, with steep rises in food and metal prices potentially influencing the RBI’s December policy stance. A continued hold on rates seems likely, but analysts at AngelOne note a shallower rate-cut cycle ahead for India, mirroring the US trend. Options data signals resistance around 24,500 due to heavy call writing and support near 23,500, with a bearish put-call ratio drop to 0.52. India VIX rose to 14.60 (+2.40%), suggesting caution; however, lower volatility generally supports bullish sentiment, according to SAMCO’s Dhupesh Dhameja.
