MAJOR EVENTS As the India is gearing up for the Union Budget on February 28, buzz is that Arun

Jaitley, Finance Minister, may announce a cut on Import duty on Gold. Media reports

say a 2-4 per cent reduction on Gold import duty can be expected in the upcoming

union budget. The move is likely to bolsrter gold exports and manufacturing of gems

and jewellery. There has been a demand from the industry to slash the customs duty

from the prevalent 10 per cent to two per cent.

Gold imports are declining continuously. Gems and jewellery sector contributes

significantly in the country’s total exports. On account of this, we are expecting a cut

in the import duty. But it is up to the Finance Minister to take the final decision in the

Budget.Nirmala Sitharaman, Commerce and Industry Minister, had hinted that the

jewellery sector can expect some incentives soon in the budget. Arun Jaitley is likely

to present the union budget on February 28 for the 2015/16 fiscal year. As part of its

pre-Union Budget recommendations, All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation

(GJF) had urged thegovernment to bring down the duty on gold from 10% to 2% to

encourage ‘Make in India’ initiative in the gems & jewellery sector.

Crude oil prices rose more than $1 a barrel on Friday, continuing a rebound from

near-six-year lows plumbed last week, although no rapid recovery is expected amid

rising global inventories and steady OPEC supply. Prices closed more than 4 per cent

higher on Thursday, pushed up by conflict in producer Libya and expectations of a

boost to oil demand after China's central bank easing. Benchmark Brent crude futures

were $1 higher at $57.57 a barrel at 0741 GMT, after closing up $2.41 on Thursday.

US crude for March delivery was also up $1 at $51.47 a barrel. The contract had

finished up $2.03 the previous day.

Physical demand has been boosted recently by traders storing crude on tankers to

benefit from higher prices for delivery in future months - a market structure known

as contango - and stockpiling by major importing countries such as China and India.

Growing numbers of OPEC delegates say they expect no rapid recovery in oil prices,

even though the market is showing tentative signs of a rally from near-six-year lows.

Late on Thursday top OPEC producer Saudi Arabia cut its monthly oil prices for Asian

buyers to the lowest level in at least 12 years.

Copper Marginally

Lower In Evening

Trades On MCX.

The prices of Copper are trading marginally lower in the intraday session that is the

last for this week. The prices of Copper were down by Rs 353.25 per kg, compared to

Rs 355.5 per kg on Thursday. The triggers from the global markets have remained

weak for metal. Reserve Bank of Australia said that the economy is expected to grow

at a pace of 2.25 percent to 3.25 percent through December 2015 and 3 percent to 4

percent in the following year. This was less than the previous forecast for 2.5 percent

to 3.5 percent GDP growth in 2015 and 2.75 percent to 4.25 percent in 2016. In US,

initial jobless claims rose to 278000, an increase of 11000 from the previous week's

revised level of 267000. Economists had expected jobless claims to climb to 290000

from the 265000 originally reported for the previous week.

However on the positive front, Germany's industrial production expanded for the

fourth consecutive month in December, but the growth rate weakened, defying

expectations for a faster expansion, as mild weather dampened construction activity.

Industrial output edged up 0.1 percent in December from a month ago, Destatis said

Friday. Production was forecast to rise 0.4 percent after expanding by a revised 0.1

percent in November.
