SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Editorial
SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Rbi Becomes Largest Buyer Of Gold By Central Banks Interesting trends are emerging in the performance of gold as an asset class as India is recovering from the impact of Covid pandemic. Although some of the basic fault lines continue to nag, there is a perceptible pick-up in demand, such as the bellwether automobile industry, with pent-up demand translating into significant numbers in terms of sales. The Reserve Bank of India was the largest buyer of gold among all central banks in the third quarter of 2021. India’s gold reserves grew by 41 tonnes to 745 tonnes during this period. It also marks a slight increase in the pace of buying by the RBI. In fact, central bank demand in general has been one of the highlights of the gold market this year. India’s gold purchases have helped arrest a slowdown in acquisitions by other central banks. And the trend is seen set to continue in the coming quarters. According to estimates, 2021 looks set to see the biggest annual increase in India’s official gold reserves since 2009. A similar trend is noticed in the demand for domestic investment in terms of bars and coins. The third quarter bar and coin investment increased 27 percent year on year to 43 tonnes on pent-up demand and the gold price dip. Aligned with jewellery consumers, bar and coin investors responded to the sharp price dip, and lower average quarterly price, by adding to their holdings. The price effect was heightened by the release of pent-up demand as lockdown restrictions eased. Although investors were tempted by equity market strength, with Sensex touching all-time highs they have remained wary of possible corrections amid the high valuations. This encouraged investment in gold for diversification purposes. According to World Gold Council, Jewellery demand in India in the third quarter increased approximately 60 per cent both on a quarterly and yearly basis due to strong pent-up demand, a rebound in economic activity and lower gold prices. Having been locked down for much of the second quarter to deal with the severe second wave of Covid, jewellery demand bounced back sharply in the third quarter. An acceleration in the vaccination programme and a strong end to the monsoon season further boosted consumer sentiment. Occasion-related gift buying witnessed a strong comeback and demand was buoyant ahead of the two-week inauspicious Shraddh period which fell at the end of September. Retailers anticipating strong demand during the fourth quarter wedding and festive season built up their inventories in preparation amidst reports that the quarter has indeed got off to a brisk start. The season, which has a higher number of auspicious wedding days, bodes well for jewellery demand for the remainder of the year, especially because the good monsoon is expected to support rural incomes. The only rider is the potential for further waves of Covidand lockdowns, which as of now appear to have ebbed significantly. An interesting trend in the gold jewellery demand has been a new regional shift. At a regional level, Northern India outperformed the South as some Southern states, notably Kerala, were impacted by higher Covid cases and restrictions on store operating times. But this is expected to change in the weeks to come as the situation is continuously improving in the affected states. The government has introduced mandatory hallmarking, which the industry is smoothly adapting to. This is expected to ultimately improve transparency and give consumers greaterconfidence in the purity of the gold they buy. Another significant development is the launchof digital platforms, further opening the channels for gold investors. The launch of digital goldplatforms by retailers such as Titan, Kalyan and Senco Gold provides investors with aconvenient way to make systematic investments in gold for as low as Rs 100.Another notable industry development is the continuation of policy reforms related todomestic spot gold exchange and international bullion exchange. During the third quarter,the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) approved the framework for a domesticspot exchange. Meanwhile, the International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA)launched the India International Bullion Exchange (IIBX) on 1 October 2021. Theseexchanges, intended to empower bullion banking and establish India as a major bulliontrading hub, may also help with the successful implementation of the gold monetisation scheme and the d e v e l o p m e n t - Kapilkumar M.

No excuses just facts. Also, I immediately told the person and broke it off. We were best friends after that and are still friends today,” she wrote. Last year, Anusha and ‘Bigg Boss 15.
Sanya Malhotra may only be a few films old, but she has already made quite a mark with her performances in Dangal, Badhaai Ho Pagglait and Ludo, among others. The actor is looking forward to the release of Meenakshi Sundareshwar, which stars Abhimanyu Dassani opposite her. Written and directed by Vivek Soni, the film is about a couple who are forced to stay separately due to their job profiles and how they handle the situation. Meenakshi is a very confident girl. She is pretty sure about her likes and dislikes, be it at work or in her personal domain. What she likes in Sundareshwar (played by Abhimanyu) is that he is completely different from others. I approve of his plan of moving ahead in life, and Vivek has beautifully written both these characters. Both Meenakshi and Sundar share a beautiful relationship, and that is the beauty of the story. What was your initial reaction to the script? Just like Meenakshi, it was love at first sight. When Vivek narrated the script, I fell in love with it, with Meenakshi and the world that was created around her. How important is it not to give up in a relationship?If you don’t ask me for my personal opinion, it will be better. But for both Meenakshi and Sundareshwar, it is important that they communicate.So, have you been in a long-distance relationship?I have been. But it did not last long. I did not have enough patience like Meenakshi.How did you prepare for the role? Did you go gymming etc. as young couples are now into fitness? You know couples who are getting married also do a lot of workouts. Fitness is important before and after marriage as well. Whatever you may do in life, the focus should be on fitness. One should do whatever it takes to maintain his or her health. Abhimanyu and I did a lot of script reading and also shared references with each other. In real life, I am a fan of Tabu. In the film, I am a fan of Rajinikanth, and I had to do a lot of research about him as well.

What you’ll discover is yourself.”The book then goes on to talk about the need to step out of one’s comfort zone. “We gravitate towards comfort. We might have some complaints about our lives—things aren’t perfect—but we know who we are and where we’re going (more or less), and we feel okay about it. What happens when we step out of our comfort zone? Spending a year in another country can cause us to see ourselves and the world much differently. A great loss—or any major change—can push us into a place we never imagined,” it read “I need to step out of my comfort zone and see what happens. Rather than fight change.

Agency News: New Delhi Former India skipper Mohammed Azharuddin feels head coach Ravi Shastri should’ve attended the post-match press conference after India were thrashed by New Zealand in a Group 2 game of the ongoing T20 World Cup on Sunday. India pacer Jasprit Bumrah attended the post-match press conference, which according to Azharuddin

But, Ravi (Shastri) bhai should’ve attended the press conference,” Azharuddin said during a discussion on ABP News.“You can’t just attend press conferences after victories, you must give an explanation for defeats too. Sending Bumrah for

a poor performance, Azhar said that there is nothing to ashamed about a defeat, but one must take responsibility.“If you lose a game or two, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. But the captain or the coach must come.
