MACRO NEWS

India foreign exchange reserves and banking credit data to be released by the central bank at 5 p.m. (1130 GMT).

RBI has pegged FY15 GDP growth at 5-6 percent with cen-tral estimate at 5.5 percent. The Central Bank also expects inflation to continue on the glide path of 8 percent for FY15. However, it sees upside risks to its 6 percent retail inflation target for 2016.

RBI prescribed tighter norms for non-banking financial companies to lend against shares. Move is aimed at tack-ling volatility in the capital market due to offloading of shares by NBFCs. For loans against shares, financial com-panies will have to maintain loan-to-value ratio of 50%

India's exports are expected to reach USD 750bn by 2018-19 with improvement in the global trade scenario, apex exporters body FIEO said today. Global commerce is showing improvement and it is expected to grow at 4.7 per cent this year and 5.3 percent in 2015.

The Union cabinet's decision to raise the royalty on miner-als is expected to enrich the Odisha government's coffers by Rs 2,000 crore annually. The increase, especially on iron ore, fulfils an old demand from here. Odisha is the top ore producing state.

COMMODITY ROUNDUP

Gold declined in early Thursday trade at Zaveri Bazaar here,

following a trend in markets abroad as the yellow metal

went down on an indication of a strengthening American

economy. The US Federal Reserve released the minutes of

its meeting on Wednesday, which showed a modest growth

in the United States’ economy. This restored investors’ con-

fidence towards other asset classes, including the dollar. As

gold has a 'safe haven’ status, it has an inverse relation with

such trends. Its price declined one per cent or Rs 280 per

10g in spot trade at Zaveri Bazaar to close at Rs 28,050 per

10g. lowest price in last 7 weeks. Price was down 2.6 per

cent in last 7 trading days. Spot premiums have become nil,

sometimes negative, over recent months.

Silver prices fell by Rs 211 to Rs 42,130 per kg as specula-

tors engaged in reducing positions largely in tune with a

weakening trend overseas. At MCX silver for delivery in Sep-

tember traded lower by Rs 211, or 0.50%, to Rs 42,130 per

kg in a business turnover of 331 lots. Similarly, the white

metal for delivery in far-month Dec. declined by Rs 181, or

0.42%, to Rs 42,897 per kg in a business volume of 35 lots.

In the international market, silver fell 0.41% to USD 19.37

an ounce in Singapore. A subdued trend in the global mar-

kets as minutes of the Federal Reserve's last meeting sig-

nalled that policy makers may increase borrowing costs ear-

lier than expected amid strengthening dollar, reducing ap-

peal of precious metals, put pressure on silver futures here.

Copper futures fell 0.35% to Rs 432.45 per kg yesterday as

speculators trimmed positions amid a weak trend in global

markets. At MCX, copper for delivery in November declined

by Rs 1.50, or 0.35%, to Rs 432.45 per kg in a business turn-

over of eight lots. The metal for delivery in August fell by Rs

1.25, or 0.29%, to Rs 423.80 per kg in a business volume of

161 lots A weakening trend in base metals at LME on worse

-than-expected manufacturing data from China, the biggest

consumer, mainly put pressure on copper prices at futures

trade here. Globally, copper for delivery in three-months

traded 0.2% lower at $6,995 per tonne at the LME.

Lead fell 0.33% to Rs 136.65 per kg in futures trade today

after participants reduced exposures amid a weak trend

overseas and sluggish domestic demand. At MCX lead for

delivery in September shed 45 paise, or 0.33%, to Rs 136.65

per kg in a business turnover of 45 lots.

NCDEX ROUNDUP

The WTO has not accepted the view of the Indian govern-

ment on the raw sugar export subsidy whereby it had stated

that the export subsidy is aimed at cane millers and farmers

and not exporters. According to members of the WTO who

have raised the objection on the scheme, such subsidies

directly or indirectly benefit the exporters as it helps them

in paying their dues owed to the farmers.

Cardamom prices were down by 0.33% to Rs 952.50 per kg

in futures trading yesterday after speculators booked profits

at prevailing higher levels amid slackened demand in the

spot market. Besides, adequate stocks in the physical mar-

ket following increased arrivals from producing belts put

pressure on cardamom prices. At MCX cardamom for deliv-

ery in far-month October declined by Rs 3.20, or 0.33%, to

Rs 952.50 per kg in a business turnover of five lots. In a simi-

lar fashion, the spice for delivery in September shed Rs 2.80,

or 0.29%, to Rs 966.40 per kg in 134 lots. Attributed the fall

in cardamom futures to profit-booking by speculators at

existing levels and fall in demand in the spot market.

CURRENCY ROUNDUP

The Indian rupee weakened slightly on Thursday, snapping a

three-day rising streak, as the dollar rallied broadly after

minutes from the Federal Reserve July meeting suggested

potentially earlier-than-expected rate hikes.

The U.S. dollar traded at 11-month highs against a basket of

major currencies after the Fed's minutes suggested any

strong jobs market recovery could lead it to raise interest

rates earlier than it had been anticipating. However senti-

ment remains broadly supported on strong foreign buying

in Indian markets, especially in debt. Foreign banks bought

debt worth $2.44 billion on Wednesday, their highest since

at least August 2009, clearing house data showed. Foreign

funds have purchased $26.4 billion in debt and equities

combined so far in 2014. The partially convertible rupee

closed at 60.67/68 per dollar compared with 60.61/62 in

the previous session.

Some reassuring data from Germany eased pressure on the

struggling euro on Thursday after speculation of an earlier

rate rise from the Federal Reserve had pushed the dollar to

an 11-month high.

The dollar hovered just below its 2014 peak against a basket

of major currencies early on Friday, with bulls turning cau-

tious ahead of a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Janet

Yellen. Brent was trading below $103 a barrel on Friday,

heading for a second weekly loss as easing geopolitical risks

and higher global oil supply pressured prices. U.S. Treasur-

ies drifted higher on Thursday, showing little reaction to

stronger-than-expected economic data while investors held

out for any developments from the annual central banker

get-together in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

RBI said on Thursday it accepted all 39 bids for 161.73 bil-

lion rupees at its one-day repo auction, through which it

injects liquidity into the banking system. Indian banks' refi-

nancing with RBI rises to 246.94 billion rupees. Indian banks'

cash balances with RBI rise to 3.26 trln rupees.
