  • Gold Demand In India Surges Post Duty Cut, Global Market Brace For US Elections And Fed Rate Cut. Economy News

    New Delhi: As global markets brace for potential economic turbulence, the outlook for gold has become increasingly uncertain, especially with the upcoming US elections and possible interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed), according to the World Gold Council.

    The global shift towards gold as a hedge against macroeconomic risks is also being reflected in India. The uncertainty surrounding the US election and potential rate cuts has driven up demand for safe-haven assets like gold. These developments have led to heightened activity in the gold options market, reflecting concerns about the near-term future.

    Meanwhile, India, a key player in the global gold market, continues to show strong demand for the precious metal despite global volatility. Globally, economic indicators present a mixed picture. While overall GDP growth is ticking along at 2.5 per cent, the global manufacturing sector, particularly in Europe and China, is experiencing a slowdown.

    In contrast, services continue to support growth figures. In the United States, recent data has been conflicting. Retail sales remain robust, and the stock market continues to climb, but unemployment jumped to 4.2 percent in August, raising concerns about a possible recession.

    Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s comments at Jackson Hole have hinted at upcoming interest rate cuts, which could impact gold prices. Powell indicated that any rate cuts will depend on incoming data, particularly inflation and labor market conditions. This uncertainty has led to increased use of gold options as a hedge by investors, positioning the metal as a safe haven asset.

    In, the gold market continues to display resilience. Even as China, one of the largest gold consumers, sees outflows from its gold Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), Indian gold ETFs have seen increased demand. The Indian market remains a significant force in global gold consumption, driven by cultural and investment needs. August saw a continued rise in gold demand, supported by positive domestic sentiment and festival season buying.

    India’s robust gold market is supported by factors unique to its economy. With inflation pressures easing and economic growth continuing at a steady pace, gold remains a preferred asset for both retail investors and institutional buyers.

    Additionally, as the rupee stabilizes, the cost of importing gold becomes more favorable, boosting demand further. Indian investors, wary of global market volatility, are increasingly looking at gold as a stable investment option, particularly in the current environment where geopolitical risks are high.

    With the US election set for November and the Fed likely to embark on an aggressive rate-cutting path, the gold market in India is expected to remain strong. The ongoing slowdown in China may impact global gold prices, but India’s demand is likely to remain robust, bolstered by the country’s deep cultural ties to the precious metal and a growing recognition of its investment potential in uncertain times.

  • Duleep Trophy 2024 got 3 new stars, they went ahead of even the biggest stars

    Duleep Trophy 2024 started on 5 September, in which while the performance of star batsmen like Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant was disappointing, some new stars have emerged. They have caught everyone’s attention with their brilliant performance and have left behind even the big players. Let us know about such 3 rising stars who showed excellent game in this tournament.

    Manav Suthar

    Born in Sriganganagar, Rajasthan, Manav Suthar bowled brilliantly against India-D while playing for India-C. The 22-year-old left-arm spinner caught everyone’s attention by taking 1 wicket in the first innings of the match and 7 wickets in the second innings. In the second innings, he took seven wickets for 49 runs in 19.1 overs, including the wickets of key batsmen like Devdutt Padikkal, KS Bharat and Axar Patel. After this brilliant performance of Manav, he may get a good bid in the IPL 2025 auction.

    Musheer Khan

    Musheer Khan, born in Azamgarh, has made headlines by scoring a century in his first match while playing for India-B. He played a brilliant innings of 181 runs in 373 balls with the help of 16 fours and 5 sixes. Musheer is an all-rounder who can bat as well as spin bowling, which can make him a valuable player for any team. He is known for his technical proficiency and patience like his brother Sarfaraz Khan. After this innings, Musheer has also expressed his desire to play in the IPL.

    Saransh Jain

    Indore resident Saransh Jain performed brilliantly while playing for India-D. He took 6 wickets in both the innings. Saransh Jain is an off-spin bowler who troubled the opposition batsmen a lot with his bowling. He does not have much experience in domestic cricket yet, but there is a demand for such players in IPL who have hidden talent and have the ability to shine on the big stage. For this reason, Saransh, who looks anonymous, can be seen playing in IPL 2025.

From April to June 2024, the state received a total of Rs 70,795 crore in foreign direct investment (FDI), far surpassing any other state in India.

    This milestone continues Maharashtra’s two-year streak as the leader in attracting FDI. The state’s dominance is evident as its investments exceed the combined total of all other top-ranking states. Karnataka followed with Rs 19,059 crore, Delhi at third with Rs 10,788 crore, and Telangana, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu taking the fourth, fifth, and sixth spots with Rs 9,023 crore, Rs 8,508 crore, and Rs 8,325 crore respectively. The combined investment of these states still falls short of Maharashtra’s achievement.

    Commenting on the development, Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis said, “Congratulations Maharashtra! Very good news! Maharashtra leads in FDI with a staggering 52.46% of India’s total investment! Maharashtra which is consecutively ranked No. 1 for last 2 years in FDI, now has secured maximum investment ie 52.46% of India’s total FDI in the 1st quarter of the financial year 2024-2025.”

    The total foreign investment in India for the first quarter was Rs 1,34,959 crore, with Maharashtra’s contribution accounting for over half of this at Rs 70,795 crore.

    Successful streak

    This stellar performance builds on Maharashtra’s strong FDI record in the previous financial years. In FY 2022-23, the state attracted Rs 1,18,422 crore in foreign investment—more than Karnataka, Delhi, and Gujarat combined. In FY 2023-24, Maharashtra brought in Rs 1,25,101 crore, surpassing both Gujarat and Karnataka combined once again.

    From 2014 to 2019, during its previous stint in power, Maharashtra had drawn Rs 3,62,161 crore in FDI. Notably, since returning to power, the current administration has attracted an impressive Rs 3,14,318 crore in just two and a half years, approaching the earlier five-year total.

    what lies ahead

    While Maharashtra continues to break investment records, the data for the second quarter is yet to be released. Given its current trajectory, the state is poised to maintain its leadership in attracting foreign capital, further strengthening its position as India’s economic powerhouse.
