Global markets at a glance

European stocks fell on Friday, weighed down by the Ger-man market after an unexpected fall in industrial output there, while jobs data reinforced expectations of a U.S. in-terest rate rise soon. DAX fell 0.8%. The DAX is down about 7 percent from a record high reached in April, although it is up nearly 20 percent from the start of the year. The FTSEu-rofirst 300 index and the euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index retreated by 0.9 percent and 0.8 percent respec-tively.

Hong Kong shares rose on Friday on hopes that China's stock markets are stabilizing after a 25% slide since mid-June, but gains were capped ahead of U.S. data which could prompt the Fed to start raising interest rates next month.

U.S. stocks ended lower on Friday after solid job growth data for July pried the door open a little wider for a poten-tial interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September. Wall Street took the latest signs of an improving economy as a fresh reason to sell shares in a market that has re-mained range-bound for much of 2015 in anticipation of the Fed's first rate hike in nearly 10 years. The DJI fell 0.27% to end at 17,373.38. The S&P 500.SPX lost 0.29 per-cent to 2,077.57 and the IXIC finished 0.26 percent lower at 5,043.54. On Friday, seven of the 10 major S&P sectors were lower.

Previous day Roundup

The Nifty slipped 24.05 points at 8564.60. About 1379 shares advanced, 1545 shares declined and 152 shares were unchanged. Experts expect the market to touch 8800 level soon before seeing major correction. CLSA has increased India weightage on the back of positive impact of government's PSU bank re-capitalization package. About 1379 shares advanced, 1545 shares declined, and 152 shares are unchanged.

COMMODITY ROUNDUP

Gold was back to its losing ways after a strong US nonfarm

payrolls data made it almost certain that the US Fed would hike the interest rates from record lows next month, mark-ing its first such hike in nearly a decade. COMEX Gold dropped under $1090 per ounce amid a quick reversal after

the US added 215,000 nonfarm jobs- a sound performance that indicated that the labor markets remain on track. The

nation’s unemployment rate was also unchanged at 5.3% to match the lowest level in seven years. Gold has managed to

hold this week after repeatedly testing five and half year lows near $1070 per ounce and a modest setback in US dol-lar and bargain hunting are supporting the sentiments to-

day. If the metal carves out a low after nonfarm data and

manages to nudge higher, traders will take it as a sign that the frantic losing spree is over.

Crude oil futures slid further on Friday due to gains in the

dollar, sending it rolling towards its longest run of weekly

losses since the turn of the year. The global crude bench-mark was already on track for its sixth consecutive weekly

drop on a persistent oversupply of the commodity. Brent crude futures fell by 40 cents to USD 49.12 at 1249 GMT. The benchmark was on track to close the week nearly 6%

lower, the biggest weekly fall since March. It had already

been under pressure as physical markets braced for the re-

turn of 2 million barrels of North Sea oil that turned back from its path to South Korea earlier this week. US crude was

20 cents lower at USD 44.46 a barrel, after dropping more

than 1% on Thursday when it hit a 4-1/2 month low.

Amid weak global trend and subdued domestic demand,

copper prices were down 0.35% to Rs 330 per kg in futures

trade. At MCX copper for delivery in Aug fell Rs 1.15, or 0.35% to Rs 330 per kg in business turnover of 2,999 lots.

Likewise, the metal for delivery in Nov contracts traded lower 50 paise, or 0.15% to Rs 337.25 per kg in 78 lots. Fall in copper futures to weak global cues and sluggish demand from consuming industries in spot market. Globally, copper

dropped 1.3% to 37,560 yuan a metric tonne at Shanghai.

Nickel moved down 0.66% to Rs 696.90 per kg in futures

trade as speculators booked profits at prevailing levels amid decline in demand at the spot market. Besides, weak trend in base metals at the LME fuelled the downtrend. At MCX

nickel for delivery in September traded lower by Rs 4.60, or

0.66% to Rs 696.90 per kg in a business turnover of 170 lots.

NCDEX ROUNDUP

Sharp bounce back was seen in wheat futures in today's trading as government has imposed import duty on wheat. The NCDEX futures swelled by almost 1 percent from the last trading. As per the official sources, The government will impose an import duty of 10 per cent on wheat effective until March 31 next year, reinstating tariffs after a gap of eight years following big purchases in recent months. This was mainly due to cheap import of wheat by some private players in the last month. Some of the private firms signed deals to import 500,000 tonnes of high-protein Australian wheat in last June. The NCDEX futures added 0.74 percent today to currently trade at Rs 1502 per quintal after hitting the intraday high of Rs 1519 per quintal.

Global dairy giant Fonterra is expecting a recovery in dairy prices, terming their unsustainably low, even as it slashed its forecast for payouts to farmers this season to the lowest in 13 years, and slashed its investment budget. The New Zealand-based co-operative, the world's top milk exporter, reduced to NZ$3.85 per kg of milk solids, from NZ$5.25 per kg of milk solids, its estimate for its payment to farmers for milk in 2015-16. The downgraded estimate matched the payout in 2005-06, the smallest since 2002-03, when Fon-terra paid producers NZ$3.34 per kg of milk solids.

The total sown area as on 7th August, as per reports re-ceived from States, stands at847.40 lakh hectare as com-pared to 808.40 lakh hectare at this time last year, re-cording arise of nearly 5%.

CURRENCY MARKET UPDATES:

Declining for the third consecutive day, the rupee slipped by four paise at 63.81 against the US dollar on sustained demand for the American currency from banks and import-ers on weak cues from global markets. However, persistent capital inflows from foreign funds restricted the rupee’s fall. The local currency opened almost flat at 63.76 as against its previous closing of 63.77 at the Interbank Forex market. It moved in a range of 63.75 and 63.84 during the day before ending at 63.81, showing a loss of 4 paise or 0.06 per cent. The domestic currency had lost seven paise, or 0.11 per cent, in last three days.

The rupee fell against the pound sterling to close at 99.03 from 98.76 yesterday and also moved down against the euro to 69.76 from 69.50. The domestic unit dropped against the Japanese currency to 51.20 per 100 yen from 51.07 previously.

The US dollar index was trading higher by 0.02% in late afternoon trade. In Asian markets, the dollar struggled for direction with traders treading water as they waited for the top-tier non-farm pay-rolls report later in the day, which may strengthen or weaken the case for a Sept rate hike. In New York, the dollar edged lower but finished just below over two week high against its main rivals.

The US dollar surged on Friday, following U.S. non-farm payrolls data that rose less-than-expected last month, offi-cial data showed. In a report, the U.S. Department of Labor said non-farm payrolls rose to a seasonally adjusted 215K, from 231K in the preceding month whose figure was re-vised up from 223K. The euro slumped as dollar gained post the non-farms data. EUR/USD hit 1.0950 during Euro-pean afternoon trade, the pair's highest since August 4 and the pair is currently quoting at 1.0879.

Sterling showed little reaction to report by the Office for National Statistics on Friday showing that the U.K. trade deficit widened to £9.18 billion in June from £8.42 billion in May, whose figure was revised from a previously estimated deficit of £8.00 billion.
