Special Report 12-Oct-2018
Global markets at a glance Wall Street indexes continued their slide in Thursday's volatile session as investors worried about rising interest rates and braced for a trade war hit to corporate earnings a day ahead of the quarterly reporting season kickoff. In its sixth consecutive day of declines, the S&P closed down 2.1 percent after shedding 3 percent in Wednesday's session. But at its session low the benchmark fell 2.7 percent to its lowest level since early July.The Nasdaq narrowly avoided confirming a correction. During the session it fell as much as 10.3 percent from its Aug. 29 closing record high but ended the day 9.6 percent below the record. Investors worried that equity markets would have trouble recovering as rising interest rates coincide with uncertainty about how much earnings growth would be hurt by a US trade war with China. Asian shares appeared tentative on Friday, holding steady after a nine-day losing streak, but sentiment was frail after Wall Street shares crumbled and expectations of market volatility shot up to an eight-month high. Worries about the economic impact of a Sino-US trade war, a spike in US bond yields this week and caution ahead of earnings seasons are all cited as potential reasons behind the selloff, the biggest market rout since February. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.2 percent after the opening of the South Korea and Australian markets, a day after it fell 3.6 percent to hit 1and-a-1/2 year low. Previous day Roundup Brutal sell-off following sharp correction in global peers dragged benchmark indices to fresh six-month low on Thursday. The Nifty50 ended with deep cuts amid fears of rapidly rising interest rates and likely slowdown in global economic growth hinted by IMF. The Nifty50 opened with big gap down at 10,169.80 followed by a bit of recovery from day's low of 10,138.60 in later part of the session. The index still closed 225.40 points lower at 10,234.70, the lowest closing level since April 4, 2018.India VIX moved up sharply by 14.68 percent to 20.53 levels. Spurt in VIX from previous day's low suggests that bears are not loosening their grip and bounce are being sold in the market. Now VIX has to cool down below 17.50-17 zones to get any sign of consolidation Index stats The Market was very volatile in last session.

COMMODITY ROUNDUP Gold prices rose on Thursday as a sell-off in global stock markets prompted investors to seek safety in the metal, with a softer dollar further supporting bullion. Spot gold XAU= gained 0.8 percent to $1,203.30 an ounce by 0947 GMT. U.S. gold futures GCv1 added 1.1 percent at $1,206.20 an ounce.European stocks fell in line with a slump on Wall Street, pointing to growing risk aversion across global markets and turning greater attention to U.S. inflation data later in the day for clues on the pace of monetary tightening. MKTS/GLOB "Gold is finding a bit of support from the global sell-off seen in equities. If this (sell-off) persists, we will start seeing more of a move to gold as a safe-haven asset," ING analyst Warren Patterson said."Rising U.S. yields and general strength in the dollar have meant that investors have largely ignored gold. But people are seeing fairly good value at current levels on the back of some macro concerns," Patterson said.Wednesday's dive on Wall Street prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to lash out against the U.S. Federal Reserve for raising interest rates. Some analysts said his comments were supporting gold prices somewhat. The Fed increased interest rates last month for the third time this year and is widely expected to hike again in December, with no suggestion its tightening will cease any time soon. Gold has fallen about 13 percent since hitting a peak in April, with investors increasingly switching to the safety of the greenback as the U.S.-China trade war unfolded against a backdrop of rising U.S. interest rates.But gold has recovered from a 1-1/2-year low of $1,059.96 hit in midAugust, propped up by limited safe-haven buying at the lower end of its range, spurred by concerns over economic growth and inflationary pressure from soaring oil prices. O/ R Holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust GLD , the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, rose 1.21 percent to 738.99 tonnes on Wednesday. This was the SPDR ETF's first gain since July and the biggest inflow since March.Spot silver XAG= rose 1.1 percent to $14.42 an ounce and palladium XPD= was up 1.2 percent at $1,079.72. Platinum XPT= edged up 0.2 percent to $820.50 an ounce. Gold advanced by Rs 130 to Rs 31,980 per 10 gram Thursday following uptick in festive season demand from jewellers and retailers at the domestic spot market despite a weak global trend. However, silver met with resistance at prevailing levels and declined by Rs 200 to Rs 39,000 per kg.

Cotton prices are expected to remain firm in the long term with traders expecting export demand to pick up. Current delays in the arrival of crop in Gujarat and Rajasthan mandis may also support the prices. Analysts expect prices to move from the current Rs 22,300 per bale of 170 kg each to Rs 23,000 per bale in October. Increased demand from China, Bangladesh and Vietnam and the opening up of the Pakistan market for Indian cotton could firm up prices further, traders said. “The demand .for cotton by local spinners and exporters will pick up by October 15. Apart from China, Bangladesh and Vietnam, we expect orders from Pakistan. The Pakistan government is expected to lift import duty of 5 per cent by next week,� says Atul Ganatra, president of the Cotton Association of India. They will come out with figures on export and domestic demand on Nov 1, he said.Traders expect cotton production in 2018 to fall 4.7 per cent from the previous season to 34.8 million bales due to lower rainfall in key cotton growing states and attack of pink bollworms. This will also support cotton prices, they said. The country exported 6.9 million bales in 2017-18 marketing year that ended on September 30, he added. Coffee bean sales in Vietnam and Indonesia picked up this week on a strong recovery in global prices, while the main harvest is awaited next month in Vietnam, traders said on Thursday. Exporters offered Vietnam's 5-percent black and broken grade 2 robusta at $50-$60 discount per tonne to London's January contract, compared to $30-$40 discount last week, traders said.

The recent drop in the rupee to record lows has dealt a double blow to foreign portfolio investors (FPIs). While the depreciating rupee has eroded the value of their holdings in dollar terms, the government’s move in the recent Budget to tax capital gains made by foreigners in the domestic stock market on rupee denominated returns has added to their woes. Until last financial year, foreigners paid tax on capital gains based on dollar returns. This was allowed only for stock market trans transactions under a special provision in the Income Tax Act . The government quietly withdrew this benefit in this Budget while reintroducing the long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax in the Union Budget. Now, foreign investors have to calculate capital gains based on how much they have earned in rupee terms. Then, overseas investors didn’t oppose the move because of the rupee’s strength against dollar earlier this year. But, with the Indian currency falling 16 per cent so far in 2018, capital gains tax on rupeebased returns would be steeper. The dollar weakened on Thursday following an overnight drop in U.S. Treasury yields, though moves in foreign exchange markets were far more contained than the global rout in stocks. Risk appetite broadly remained robust in currencies, with the Aussie AUD=D3 and the kiwi NZD=D3 rallying by half a percent each against the greenback. "The dollar's weakness may be due to some unwinding of very long positions ...after the overnight drop in U.S. yields but these are very volatile markets," said Manuel Oliveri, a currency strategist at Credit Agricole (PA:CAGR) in London. Against a basket of its rivals .DXY =USD , the dollar fell a quarter of a percent to 95.17. It has fallen 1 percent in the last two trading sessions and is holding at its lowest level since the start of October.With long dollar positions at their biggest since end-2016 among hedge funds, markets have become very focused on any slight tweak in likely policy settings from the U.S. Federal Reserve and any data that might change the central bank's thinking. U.S. inflation data for September is due later in the day with market expectations at 0.2 percent on a monthly basis. As investors selectively took shelter in safe-haven assets, the MSCI index of global stocks hit its lowest levels since early February while gauges of market volatility jumped.
