Exploring in great detail
With the fast-paced delivery of information and the bevy of distractions around us, it is easy to just scroll past news or only take a glimpse of an art piece.
But stopping and taking a closer look has perks.
For financial-market developments, it makes us examine the causes and impact of recent turn of events. In art, it allows us to relate to others whose experience we may have not shared.
Zeroing in, at times, allows us to understand better.
This week, we share with you our thoughts on the recent inflation print and its impact on policy. We also took a deeper dive into one of the key drivers of consumer-price rise –housing rent. And on the lighter side, we give you a run down of the world's cultural capitals. After all, immersing in travel and art, as the younger generation says, is a form of investment in oneself.
