Global markets at a glance

European shares rose more than 4 percent on Tuesday,

their best one-day gain since late 2011, as a rate cut in

China fuelled a recovery from a bruising 48-hour sell-off.

European Central Bank is ready to take further measures if

the inflation outlook changes materially, ECB Vice President

Vitor Constancio said.The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300

index, which slumped 5.4 percent on Monday, closed up

4.2 percent. The blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index rose 4.7

percent. German chipmaker Infineon rose 10 percent while

miner Antofagasta gained 8.7 percent.

A rally on Wall Street evaporated on Tuesday and stocks

ended with deep losses as concerns about China's economy

outweighed lower valuations that some earlier saw as bar-

gains. In a dramatic session, major indices turned negative

in the final minutes of trading after previously climbing al-

most 3 percent. Investors cited more worries that a slow-

down in China could hobble global growth, even after the

country's central bank cut interest rates on Tuesday for the

second time in two months. The move came after Chinese

stocks slumped 8 percent on Tuesday, on top of an 8.5 per-

cent drop on Monday. The Dow Jones industrial average

fell 204.91 points, or 1.29 percent, to end at 15,666.44. The

S&P 500 lost 25.59 points, or 1.35 percent, to finish at

1,867.62 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 19.76 points,

or 0.44 percent, to 4,506.49.

7,880.70 points, snapping a three-day losing streak. It ear-

lier hit its lowest since Aug. 12, 2014. The benchmark BSE

COMMODITY ROUNDUP

Falling crude oil prices that have touched a six-and-a-half

year low have cast a shadow on the viability of investment

in unconventional energy sources. From shale assets, in

which Indian companies made a debut when oil prices had

soared to more than $100 a barrel, to solar power, where

technology costs overbear the zero cost of fuel, analysts are

sceptical about the way forward. At present, Brent crude is

hovering around $44 a barrel. Analysts say it is too low for

oil companies to make economic sense by investing in un-

conventional energy sources, though shale oil and gas have

generated considerable interest from Indian companies.

MCX Gold tumbled near Rs 27000 per 10 grams mark in

volatile trade as the global gold futures eased under $1150

per ounce. Gold managed to hold steady yesterday as an

across the globe panic hit equities. Chinese economic wor-

ries refuse to budge and markets started on a nervous

mode. However, modest gains emerged in equities today as

bargain buying lifted sentiments. European markets gained

in impressive moves and kept gold under check. COMEX

Gold futures are trading at 1150 per ounce, down 0.31% on

the day after falling around $1145 levels earlier. MCX Gold

futures are trading at Rs 27109 per 10 grams, down 1.22%

on the day after falling near Rs 27050 mark. Gold specula-

tors and large futures traders increased their gold bullish

positions higher last week for a third consecutive week, ac-

cording to the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) data

released by the CFTC on Friday.

MCX SILVERMIC August contract was trading at Rs 35007

down Rs 411, or 1.16 percent. The SILVERMIC rate touched

an intraday high of Rs 35578 and an intraday low of Rs

34861. So far 26649 contracts have been traded. SILVERMIC

prices have moved down Rs 1329, or 3.66 percent in the

August series so far. MCX SILVERMIC November contract

was trading at Rs 35840 down Rs 398, or 1.10 percent. The

SILVERMIC rate touched an intraday high of Rs 36801 and

an intraday low of Rs 35715. So far 7014 contracts have

been traded. SILVERMIC prices have moved down Rs 2860,

or 7.39 percent in the November series so far.

NCDEX ROUNDUP

As per latest release from Cargo Surveyor Intertek Agri Ser-

vices, Malaysia's palm oil exports during August 1-25, 2015

stood at 12.75 Lakh metric tonnes, up 10% from the last

month in the same period.

Chana futures have witnessed strong gains today on the

back of possible decline in kharif pulses production in the

current year coupled with limited supplies of rabi pulses in

local mandies. The NCDEX futures added 2.36 percent to-

day. The total kharif pulses production is likely to decline by

10 percent from the last year to reach 5.12 lakh tonnes due

to limited supplies from states such as Karnataka, Madhya

Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. The prices were also aug-

mented by thin supplies of chana at local mandies as the

daily arrivals of chana at Delhi mandi have been reduced to

25 motors against 40 motors of the last week. The NCDEX

September futures swelled by 2.36 percent today to close at

Rs 4768 per quintal. The NCDEX futures added 8 percent in

open interest indicating fresh buying by traders.

Oil rose more than three percent on Tuesday, as oversold

conditions brought some buyers back to the market, but a

lingering supply glut and worries about the slowing econ-

omy in top commodities consumer China kept crude

prices near 6-1/2-year lows. The market braced for more

losses in crude on expectations that US crude stockpiles

rose again last week amid refinery outages. Early estimates

in a Reuters poll showed a build of 2.2 million barrels, add-

ing to the previous week's 2.6 million-barrel build.

CURRENCY MARKET UPDATES:

The US dollar recovered further against a basket of curren-

cies on Tuesday, after China's central bank cut interest

rates in a bid to bolster economic growth after a plunge in

the country's stock market. The dollar index, which meas-

ures the greenback's strength against a trade-weighted

basket of six major currencies, climbed to as much as 94.25

following the China move and was last seen at 94.15, re-

covering from the eight-month trough of 92.52 set on

Monday.

The People's Bank of China cut interest rates by 25 basis

points to 4.6%. The bank also cut the reserve requirement

ratio for large lenders to 18.0%. Fears over a global eco-

nomic downturn, led by a slowdown in China's economy

have intensified in recent days, accelerating a selloff across

global markets. Asian and European stocks rebounded on

Tuesday, but shares in China and Japan continued to

slump. Shares in Shanghai fell around 8% overnight, one

day after the worst trading session since 2007, dubbed

'Black Monday'.

As against the euro, dollar rallied around 1%, with EUR/

USD at 1.1502 backing further away from Monday's eight-

month peaks of 1.1713. USD/JPY advanced to 120.03. Ster-

ling trimmed back gains against the dollar, with GBP/USD

last at 1.5784 after rising to seven-week highs of 1.5819

earlier.

The Indian rupee extended gains in afternoon trading on

Tuesday, rebounding further from a two-year low against

the dollar earlier in the day, after China's central bank cut

interest rates and simultaneously relaxed reserve require-

ments. The Indian rupee gained to as much as 65.89 per

dollar after the news from China from levels of around

66.20. It had earlier hit as low as 66.76 to the dollar, its

weakest since Sept. 4, 2013. Meanwhile, the benchmark 10

-year bond yield was trading at 7.81 percent compared to

its 7.89 percent close on Monday. The yield had hit a ses-

sion high of 7.91 earlier in the day.
