lobal stock markets are seen tiring after posting decent gains during the

year. Investors are also seen skeptical while investing and are trying to Ggauge the stock market rally with the actual economic health of the world

economy. As regards to stock market performance so far so good is largely the

outcome of abundant liquidity. Falling crude prices and metal prices owing to

lower demand and rise in supplies reflects some kind of anomaly between what

the stock markets are stating and the actual economic situation of the global

economies. End of bond purchase program by U.S. Fed going in end of the

October this year and interest rate hike in the next calendar year is another

concern moving around. Agencies like Goldman Sachs reduced the Chinese

economy growth projections for 2015 to 7.1% from 7.6% and recently Chinese

finance minister made a statement that no major policy adjustments would be

done dampening hopes for some kind of stimulus to sour sagging growth in the

economy. In Europe growth is weakening as core economies like Germany is

manufacturing activity growth declining to 15 months low together with decline

in confidence sanctions on trade by Russia.

Back at home, Supreme Court has cancelled all 214 coal blocks out of 218

awarded since 1993 except four that were allocated to ultra mega power project

and central government companies in line with the various options given by the

central government in its affidavit to the court. To get uninterrupted coal

supplies, court allowed miners six months time to continue with the mining and

from there onwards Coal India will take over mining operations till government

comes out with a fresh policy. The outcome came as a negative surprise in the

markets as fate of investments done so far in the coal blocks lacks clarity.

Moreover there is also a sense of uncertainty of the recovery of loans given by the

banks for the operations. Geopolitical tensions as regards to U.S. air strikes in

Syria and Chinese army activity on the borders are some of the other noted

concerns. In the fourth bi-monthly monetary policy scheduled on Tuesday,

September 30, 2014, RBI is widely expected to keep status-quo on the interest

rates and investors would try to assess what the Governor Raghuram Rajan feel

about the health of domestic and global economy.

On the commodities front, global tensions and a strong U.S. dollar drove big

moves in commodities last week. Escalating geopolitical tensions added premium

in gold and crude prices. Silver traded silently. Gold may move in the range of

26200-27700 in MCX and White metal silver can hover in the range of 38000-42000

this week. In India, jewelers and bullion dealers are expecting demand to pick up

in the run up to the festivals of Dusshera and Diwali. Crude oil may continue its

last week recovery as geopolitical tensions may give prices underlying support. It

is a time of ambiguity in commodities market. In such conditions some important

events and data scheduled this week can help investors while trading into

commodities. Some of events to be closely watched are German CPI, German

Unemployment Change, and unemployment rate, Euro-Zone Consumer Price

Index Estimate and GDP of Canada, CPI, ISM Manufacturing, Change in Non-farm

Payrolls, unemployment Rate and ISM Non-Manufacturing Composite of US,

Manufacturing PMI of China etc.

Market Stance

The Indian Rupee traded to a seven week low and depreciated sharply in the

week gone by. The currency depreciated after Supreme Court, scrapped all

but four of 218 coal blocks allocated by the government in past two decades

which raised the concerns of increasing imports thereby widening the trade

and current account deficit of the country. Further, decline in domestic

market sentiments along with dollar demand from importers exerted

downside pressure on the currency. The rupee also get hammered as upbeat

US home sales data fuelled further expectations for an early rate hike by the

Federal Reserve. In overseas market, euro fell to an almost two year low

against a dollar that is on track for its longest winning streak since 1970's as

investors anticipate that European and U.S monetary policy will head in

opposite direction.
