Kim Kardashian has praised French investigators for treating her with 'the utmost respect'

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton continued to spark intense speculation about their rumored romance Tuesday as fresh photos emerged of the reality television star and Formula One champion stepping out together in Tokyo, with Kardashian seen wrapping her arm around Hamilton while accompanied by her sister Khloé and son Saint.

The latest sighting, captured on March 22 and widely shared on social media, shows the pair appearing relaxed and comfortable during their trip to Japan. Kardashian, 45, smiled and waved at fans while walking alongside the 41-year-old seven-time world champion, who is now racing for Ferrari in the 2026 season. They were not holding hands, but their easy body language added fresh fuel to months of dating rumors that have captivated celebrity watchers and motorsport fans alike.

The Tokyo appearance follows a string of joint outings that began gaining traction in early 2026. The pair were first romantically linked after a private getaway at the luxury Estelle Manor in England’s Cotswolds in late January. They were later spotted dining together in Paris and vacationing near Lake Powell in Arizona in early March, where they watched a desert sunset. Sources close to the couple have described the relationship as serious, with one telling Us Weekly that Hamilton is “head over heels” and believes he has finally met his “dream girl.”

Hamilton publicly showed his affection on March 16 when he left a heart-eyed emoji on Kardashian’s Instagram post showcasing her dazzling gold Gucci look at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party. Kardashian attended the event solo but received the flirty comment from Hamilton, who was not present. The gesture quickly made headlines and intensified talk that the high-profile pairing could be heading toward something more committed.

The two celebrities have known each other for over a decade, first crossing paths around 2014 at various industry events. Their friendship remained low-key until early 2026, when they were seen enjoying an intimate New Year’s Eve party in Aspen, Colorado. By February, they made what many viewed as a soft public debut, sitting together in a suite at Super Bowl 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Kardashian, the founder of SKIMS and a star of “The Kardashians” on Hulu, has been open about her desire for a stable partner after her high-profile divorce from Kanye West. She shares four children with the rapper: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. Hamilton, who has no children, has spoken in the past about wanting a family someday while balancing his demanding racing career.

The romance has drawn mixed reactions. Some observers, including Sky F1 commentator David Croft, have suggested the relationship could benefit Hamilton’s on-track performance as he adapts to life at Ferrari following a challenging start to the 2026 season. Others have raised eyebrows, with reports that Hamilton’s mother, Carmen Larbalestier, harbors reservations about whether Kardashian’s flashy lifestyle aligns with her son’s long-term goals. Friends of Hamilton’s ex-partner Nicole Scherzinger have also weighed in, with some warning that he can be “hot and cold” in relationships.

Despite the chatter, sources close to the pair insist they are “going strong and really happy.” Kardashian has reportedly hinted at wanting commitment, while Hamilton appears smitten. The Tokyo trip included family elements, with Kardashian’s son Saint joining at times, suggesting an effort to blend their worlds.

The pairing represents an intriguing crossover between two very different spheres: Kardashian’s reality TV and fashion empire and Hamilton’s world of elite motorsport. Hamilton, widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers in F1 history, has used his platform to advocate for diversity, environmental causes and social justice. Kardashian has focused on business ventures, criminal justice reform and her children while maintaining a massive social media following.

Industry insiders note that both stars are at points in their lives where they appear ready for something meaningful. Hamilton, now in his 40s and racing for one of the most storied teams in Ferrari, has spoken about seeking balance outside the cockpit. Kardashian, after years of public scrutiny, has expressed a desire for privacy in her personal life while continuing to build her brands.

The couple has not officially confirmed the relationship, choosing instead to let photos and subtle social media interactions speak for themselves. Neither has addressed the rumors directly in interviews, though their repeated joint appearances make denial increasingly difficult.

As the 2026 F1 season progresses, speculation continues about whether Kardashian might appear in the paddock to support Hamilton at upcoming races. Some reports have suggested she could make her debut at a European Grand Prix, though nothing has been confirmed.

For now, the focus remains on their growing closeness. From European getaways to desert sunsets and now a bustling trip to Tokyo, Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have kept the celebrity world buzzing with one of 2026’s most unexpected high-profile connections.

Friends say the relationship feels different for both. Kardashian is said to be more relaxed and genuinely excited, while Hamilton appears energized and content. Whether it develops into a long-term partnership or remains a passionate chapter remains to be seen, but the latest Tokyo photos suggest momentum is building.

As March draws to a close, the pair continue to navigate public interest with a mix of discretion and undeniable chemistry. In a world where celebrity romances often burn bright and fade fast, Kardashian and Hamilton have managed to keep fans guessing while enjoying each other’s company across continents.

The story of Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton adds another layer to two already remarkable careers — one built on speed and precision on the track, the other on reinvention and business savvy in the spotlight. Their connection, whether fleeting or enduring, has already become one of the most talked-about developments in entertainment and sports this year.

RBI tightens norms on net open positions to curb rupee’s slide

RBI tightens norms on net open positions to curb rupee’s slide
Kolkata\Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India has capped banks’ net open positions in the rupee at $100 million at the end of each business day, tightening its oversight in the foreign exchange market as the currency slid to record lows.

In a notification issued Friday, the central bank asked authorised dealers of foreign currency to comply with the rule by April 10. The cap will be on their open position on the onshore deliverable market.

“Traders must be long on the dollar in a large way. This regulation basically curbs speculative positions of a bank, which will in turn reduce pressure on the rupee,” said a currency trader at a private sector bank.

“This is called the overnight open position which traders are allowed to keep in respect of all currencies involving the rupee. For a large bank, these positions can usually be at around $1 billion both in onshore and offshore markets,” he said.

RBI prescribes limits for open positions involving the rupee for exchange rate management and orderly development of the market, depending on market conditions.


The rupee has depreciated 3.5% since the start of the war and nearly 10% in this fiscal year. High crude oil prices are clouding the outlook for the local unit, with traders now expecting the rupee to touch 96-97 per dollar if oil prices remain around $115 per barrel.
“It has now been decided that authorised dealers shall ensure that their NOP-INR positions in the onshore deliverable market shall be maintained within $100 million at the end of each business day,” RBI said Friday in its master direction on risk management and inter-bank dealings.

NARCL set to acquire debt of Kay Bouvet Engineering
Mumbai: The National Asset Reconstruction Company (NARCL) is set to take over the Rs 1,000 crore debt of specialised equipment maker Kay Bouvet Engineering after its Rs 130-crore offer did not receive a challenging bid, people familiar with the details said. This acquisition could be the last for the government-backed bad loan aggregator this fiscal.

Banks led by IDBI had sought a challenge bid to NARCL’s Rs 130 crore offer earlier this month, with due diligence for prospective bidders ending on March 23.

No bidder came forward till the end of the day on March 24, the final day for bids in the Swiss challenge auction, after which banks are moving ahead with the transfer to NARCL.

The NARCL offer means a 13% recovery for banks and will be in a mix of 15% cash and the rest in security receipts to be redeemed on recovery.

Nifty 50 constituents mostly protected from oil shock: ICICI Securities

Nifty 50 constituents mostly protected from oil shock: ICICI Securities
Mumbai: ICICI Securities (ISec) said India’s benchmark Nifty is better insulated from a potential oil shock triggered by the ongoing Gulf conflict than the broader small-cap and mid-cap universe, as the index has higher exposure to energy suppliers such as coal, electricity and upstream oil companies that could benefit from rising prices.

The brokerage said suppliers of energy in the Nifty, including companies in coal, electricity and upstream oil, will benefit from higher realisations. Meanwhile, demand for coal and electricity is likely to increase as users shift away from oil and gas as fuel inputs.

Nifty 50 Constituents Mostly Protected from Oil Shock: ISecAgencies

Upstream oil, coal and power make up energy mix in index, which will see higher realisations

ICICI Securities said oil and gas suppliers, such as oil marketing and gas companies-the most impacted-are largely outside the Nifty and are spread across the small-cap and mid-cap segments. Energy-intensive industrials such as chemicals, fertilisers and building materials are also concentrated in the small-cap and mid-cap segments and are significantly impacted by higher crude and gas costs.

Within consumption, sectors such as aviation, autos, and consumer goods could be impacted by higher input costs, although larger companies within the Nifty can pass on costs and consolidate market share.

The brokerage said services sectors, including IT, banks and financials, which account for a large weight in the index, do not rely much on oil and gas, limiting the overall impact.

US Stock Market | Stocks tumble, Dow confirms correction territory, as Middle East tensions drag

US Stock Market | Stocks tumble, Dow confirms correction territory, as Middle East tensions drag
U.S. stocks tumbled on Friday, with each of the three major U.S. indexes closing at their lowest levels in over seven months and the Dow confirming it was in correction territory as the month-long Middle East war continued to suppress risk appetite. Markets took little solace from U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that he gave Iran another 10 days to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face the destruction of its energy plants, after Iran rejected his ‌proposals to end the ⁠war that ⁠began with U.S.-Israeli air strikes on Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. could achieve its objectives in Iran without the use of any ground troops and expected its operation to conclude in a matter of weeks, despite recent deployments of additional forces to the region. U.S. crude settled up 5.46% at $99.64 a barrel and Brent rose 4.22% to settle at $112.57 per barrel, but they were little changed on the week.

The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq each suffered their fifth straight weekly decline, the longest such streak in nearly four years. The Dow is now down more than 10% from its February 10 record close, becoming the latest major index to confirm a correction, commonly defined as a drop of 10% from its prior high. The Dow follows the Nasdaq in crossing the correction threshold while the Russell 2000, ⁠which was ‌the first on the correction path, confirmed it last Friday.

“Clearly, the overall tone has turned very negative and now we have broken down into correction territory,” said Ken Polcari, partner and chief market strategist at SlateStone Wealth in Jupiter, Florida.

“In the end, I would view this as ⁠a big opportunity, but would not be surprised if we see a drawdown anywhere between 15% to 20% before it is over.”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 793.47 points, or 1.73%, to 45,166.64, the S&P 500 lost 108.31 points, or 1.67%, to 6,368.85 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 459.72 points, or 2.15%, to 20,948.36.


The CBOE Volatility Index, considered Wall Street’s fear gauge, was up 3.61 points to close at 31.05, its highest close since April 21.
Megacaps were the biggest drag on the benchmark S&P index, with Nvidia down 2.2% as the biggest weight, while Amazon dropped 4%. Software shares were also under renewed selling pressure, and the S&P 500 software and services index closed at its lowest level since November 6, 2023. Along with pressure from Amazon, consumer discretionary stocks dropped 3.1%, the worst-performing of the 11 major S&P sectors, as cruise operator Carnival slumped 4.3% after cutting its ‌annual adjusted profit forecast. Fellow cruise operator Norwegian tumbled 6.9%. The surge in oil prices along with other products such as fertilizer as a result of the Iran war has fanned inflation fears and dampened expectations that the Federal Reserve and other central banks have room to lower interest rates. Money market participants are not pricing in ⁠any easing from the U.S. Federal Reserve this year, compared with expectations of two cuts before the conflict broke out, according to CME’s FedWatch Tool. Markets are now pricing in a roughly 25% chance for a hike of at least 25 basis points at the Fed’s October meeting. Philadelphia Fed President Anna Paulson acknowledged the risks to the economy from the war, but did not specify what it meant for monetary policy in the near term. U.S. consumer sentiment eased to a three-month low in March, raising concerns about the economy due to the Middle East war.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 3.38-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 3.62-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.

The S&P 500 posted 22 new 52-week highs and 27 new lows while the Nasdaq Composite recorded 25 new highs and 355 new lows.

Volume on U.S. exchanges was 18.13 billion shares, compared with the 20.4 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.
