COMEX FUTURES REPORT

This is a “Holi week” for Indians. US February nonfarm payrolls on Friday will give us an indication whether there will be a June interest rate hike. Chinese markets have also opened after their New Year. Gold and silver have a very crucial two weeks period. (a) If gold falters then chances of a fall to $1072.60 in the coming weeks will be possible. On the contrary if gold rises in the next two weeks, then $1321.30/$1397.20 will be there. (b) If silver falls in the next two weeks, then $1412 and $1285 could be tested. On the contrary if silver rises, then $1890 and $2184 will be there. There will be big one way moves in the next two weeks.

Chinese interest rate cut should also be supportive for bullion and base metals.

India does not reduce gold import duty

India did not cut custom duty on gold. Instead it will be (in the next few months) introducing measures to monetize gold. Indian gold imports will fall, despite everything. Monetizing gold is another way tackling the black money issue in India as gold forms a good part of black money in India. Jewelers will get the gold supply. There will not be any shortage of supplies in India. However the measure should be voluntary and not forceful. By forceful, I mean hindu temples which have gold should not be forced to opt for this scheme. If Hindu temples are forced to opt for monetization of gold scheme, then government is indirectly seizing the people’s gold.

A bit on the Indian budget

The budget will lift the Indian “neo middle class” and will hugely burden the “middle class”. The great Indian “middle class” is in danger now of moving into lower income levels and higher credit card debt. Rise in service tax and increase in services to be service taxed will only increase tax payouts to the government. The budget is doing everything to please the global investor at the cost of Indian “middle class”. Corporate tax rate cut will not necessarily imply higher employment generation. The great Indian middle class who voted by Mr.Modi, are now sulking at their decision. 

Indians are not getting the benefit of global crash in energy prices. In the name of taming fiscal deficit, the Modi government is doing everything to please global financial community. Indian politicians are just blindly copying the American system where there is a huge income gap between the superrich and average income people. I am against the American style capitalist system where the middle class is made to pay (in the form of taxes) for all the ills and administrative misdeeds of politicians.

Investor perception is that the Modi government is laying foundations for a sustained long term growth. But certainly they can reduce prices of surviving essentials in the immediate term (which has not been the case).

On a different note, the Indian Supreme court is performing the role of the executive more and more. Whether it is coal block allocation or telephone spectrum allocation, they are Supreme. I wonder whether the Indian Supreme court has time to deal with cases for the common man. (The Indian legal system has a severe shortage of judges. Every government has failed to increase the number of judges.  It seems there is no will among all political parties to increase the number of judges).

TODAY

There will be short covering in case gold and silver are able to rise throughout the day. Indian demand for gold and silver could see a temporary spurt as people who delayed purchases will now be purchasing. Indian demand could remain on the higher side for the next three weeks.
