News Hour: 82% of the Asians believe that price of gold will increase, says World Gold Council

KOLKATA: World Gold Council chief executive officer Aram Shishmanian said on Wednesday that a new World Gold Council research shows that 82% of Asians believe that the price of gold will increase or will be stable in the next five years. 

He said: "It is well known that there is a deep belief in gold and its long-term prospects in India and China. Since the sudden drop in the gold price during mid-April, which was driven by the US investment markets, this belief has been reinforced. Not surprisingly, demand has surged as consumers have seen an investment opportunity to buy significant amounts of gold." 

World Gold Council has come out with market updates on Thursday shows that premiums pushed to exceptional levels Premiums paid for gold in Asian markets, over and above the spot price, rose almost immediately following the price fall. The Shanghai Gold Exchange saw premiums reach US$40/oz. 

The report adds that gold auctions run by the State Bank of Vietnam were fully subscribed with premiums at US$150/oz. In Mumbai premiums were as high as US$26/oz, before settling to around US$10/oz in the month following the price drop. 

India, which represents 28% of global consumer demand, may see an increase of up to 150% year-on-year in Q2 2013. This suggests that up to 400 tonnes of gold may be imported into India during Q2 2013, almost half of the total imports in the whole of 2012.

NEW DELHI: Declining price of food items, including fruits and vegetables, pulled down inflation to nearly a three-and-a-half-year low of 4.89 per cent in April, which may present a case for further monetary policy easing. 
Inflation based on the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) stood at 5.96 per cent in March. In April, 2012, it was 7.50 per cent. 
This is the lowest level of inflation since November, 2009 when it was 4.78 per cent. 
As per official data released today, WPIinflation in the manufactured items category declined to 3.41 per cent in April from 4.07 per cent in March. 
Also, inflation in food articles category, which has a 14.34 per cent share in the WPI basket, came down to 6.08 per cent. Inflation in this category was at 8.73 per cent in March. 
The easing in food inflation was helped by a sharp drop in prices of vegetables. Inflation in vegetables stood at (-)9.05 per cent in April, against (-)0.95 per cent in the previous month. 
The inflation in fruits declined to 0.71 per cent during the month as compared to 4.71 per cent in March. However, the rate of price rise in onion was high at 91.69 per cent for the month of April, as against inflation rate of 94.85 per cent in the previous month. 
Inflation for February was revised upwards to 7.28 per cent from 6.84 per cent as per provisional estimates. 
The retail inflation, as measured by consumer price index, came down to single digit at 9.39 per cent in April after many months, indicating that inflationary expectation is on declining trend. 
The RBI will take into account the declining inflationary trend while unveiling its mid-quarter policy review on June 17. 
Commenting on inflation figures, Department of Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram said: "We are happy that inflation figure has come down". Inflation in wheat eased to 13.89 per cent in April, as against 19.87 per cent in the previous month. Potatoes too saw decline to (-)2.42 per cent, from 20.06 per cent in March.

In order to accelerate economic growth, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) earlier this month cut key interest rates by 0.25 per cent. 
"Although headline WPI inflation has eased by March, 2013 to come close to the Reserve Bank's tolerance threshold, it is important to note that food price pressures persist and supply constraints are endemic, which could lead to a generalisation of inflation...," the RBI had said.

News Hour: Sensex at over 14 months low, plunges 431 points on profit-booking

MUMBAI: The BSE benchmark Sensex today declined the most in more than 14 months by losing 431 points on across-the-board selling mainly in FMCG, capital goods, metal and auto stocks amid a surge in April trade deficit.

The Sensex fell 430.65 points, or 2.14 per cent, to 19,691.67, a biggest slump after February 27, 2012. The index had climbed to over three months high in the previous session.

Similarly, the broad-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty dropped by 126.80 points, or 2.08 per cent, to 5,980.45 led by stocks of   ITC Ltd BSE -5.31 % and Tata Consultancy Services.

The MCX-SX flagship index SX40 closed 228.64 points, or 1.92 per cent, lower at 11,662.34 points.

Brokers said the selling pressure, mostly of profit-booking nature, was so strong that all the index components in 30-BSE and 50-NSE closed with losses.

"Surge in April trade deficit, considerable rise in USDINR rates and finally Nifty trading in resistance zone around 6120 resulted in selling pressure at higher levels," said Milan Bavishi, Head Research, at Inventure Growth & Securities.

The country's exports grew for the fourth consecutive month recording a growth of 1.6 per cent in April but surge in gold imports pushed up the trade deficit to USD 17.7 billion.

A weak trend in the Asian region and lower opening in Europe ahead of the US reports of retail sales and a weak dollar further influenced the market sentiment on the domestic front here, traders said.

ITC Ltd was the major loser of the day dropping 5.31 per cent to Rs 336.86 followed by TCS by 2.42 per cent to Rs 1,451.65, Tata Motors BSE -3.27 % by 3.27 per cent to Rs 297.65, Larsen and Toubro BSE -2.96 % by 2.96 per cent to Rs 1,516.85.

The two most heaviest with their 15 per cent weightage, Reliance Industries BSE -1.27 % and Infosys lost 1.27 per cent to Rs 903 and by 0.92 per cent to Rs 2,340.35, respectively.

All sectoral indices led by FMCG and Capital goods closed in negative territory with losses up to 3.17 per cent.
