Global markets at a glance
Asian stocks were higher across the board on Friday follow-
ing a mildly positive lead from Wall Street. Uncertainty over
a "Grexit" is back on the radar as the debt-stricken nation
prepares for a meeting with the Eurogroup later in the day,
which analysts say won't yield results. Japan's Nikkei 225
underperformed early Friday as profit-taking kicked in after
the bourse charged up to 15-year highs for the second
straight session yesterday.
Wall Street Update
The Nasdaq Composite, the US market index most closely
associated with technology stocks, closed at an all-time
high on Thursday, surpassing a 2000 record set just before
the dotcom crash. Its new record close of 5,056.06 capped
a slow, unsteady climb since it touched a 2002 low of
1,114.11, that spanned an economic recession, the rise of
biotech and social media and the explosive growth of mo-
bile phones that has helped make Apple Inc the most valu-
able company in the United States.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 20.42 points, or 0.11
percent, to end at 18,058.69, the S&P 500 gained 4.97
points, or 0.24 percent, to 2,112.93 and the Nasdaq Com-
posite added 20.89 points, or 0.41 percent, to 5,056.06.

COMMODITY ROUNDUP
India is likely to remain a net importer of iron ore in 2015-
16 as falling international prices might encourage steel ma-
jors to continue importing the key raw material. The quan-
tity imported might not be as high as in the last financial
year. However, with an expected increase in domestic pro-
duction of iron ore. In 2014-15, India imported 15 million
tonnes of iron ore, an all-time high. Exports were a meagre
4.5 million tonnes.
MCX Crude oil futures tested highs above Rs 3600 per barrel
in evening trades on a weakIndian Rupee and supportive
undertone in global prices. WTI Crude edged up in after-
noonafter strong results from global equipment giant Cater-
pillar. This kept the commodityafloat despite losses in Euro-
pean stocks. WTI Crude is quoting at $53.71 per barrel, up
56cents per barrel on the day.
Gem and jewellery shipments, nearly 13% of India’s overall
merchandise export, fell a marginal 0.4 per cent in financial
year 2014-15. Data compiled by the Gems & Jewellery Ex-
port Promotion Council showed overall G&J export was
$39.9 billion in 2014-15, as compared to $40.15 bn the pre-
vious year. In rupee terms, shows data compiled by the G&J
Export Promotion Council, export rose marginally to Rs
243,885.8 crore from Rs 242,837 crore a year before.
Gold prices declined at the bullion market, due to lacklustre
buying support from stockists and jewellery traders amid
sluggish overseas sentiment. Elsewhere, silver drifted fur-
ther and closed below the Rs 37,000 mark on the back of
intense speculative unwinding. Standard gold (99.5 purity)
shed by Rs 80 to conclude at Rs 26,695 per 10 grams from
Wednesday's closing level of Rs 26,775. Pure gold (99.9 pu-
rity) also slipped by a similar margin to end at Rs 26,845 per
10 grams from Rs 26,925 previously. Silver (.999 fineness)
slumped by Rs 150 to finish at Rs 36,850 per kg against Rs
37,000 on Wednesday.
Copper futures fell 0.20% to Rs 371.20 per kg yesterday as
speculators trimmed their positions amid weak trend in
global markets. Moreover, subdued demand at domestic
spot markets also put pressure on prices. At MDX copper for
delivery in April declined by 75 paise or 0.20% to Rs 371.20
per kg in a business turnover of 496 lots. The metal for de-
livery in far-month June fell by 60 paise or 0.16% to Rs
377.30 per kg in a business volume of 28 lots.

NCDEX ROUNDUP
Coriander prices were up by 1.44 per cent to Rs 11,035 per
quintal in futures trade yesterday after participants
enlarged positions amid tight supplies on fall in arrivals from
producing belts against pickup in demand in the spot mar-
ket. At MCX coriander for delivery in June month rose by Rs
157 or 1.44 per cent to Rs 11,035 per quintal with an open
interest of 13,210 lots. Similarly, the spice for delivery in
May contracts traded higher by Rs 127 or 1.20 per cent to
Rs 10,711 per quintal in 41,450 lots. Fresh positions built up
by speculators triggered by restricted arrivals from produc-
ing belts against pickup in demand in the spot market,
mainly led to the rise in coriander prices at futures trade.
Rising for the second straight day, sugar prices were up by
another 0.59% to Rs 2,562 per quintal in futures trade yes-
terday as speculators enlarged positions, driven by pick up
in demand from bulk consumers at spot markets. However,
adequate stocks position in the physical market on higher
supplies from mills, restricted the gains. At NCDEX sugar for
delivery in July month gained Rs 15 or 0.59% to Rs 2,562 per
quintal with an OI of 18,540 lots. Similarly, the sweetener
for delivery in May contracts edged up by Rs 7 or 0.29% to
Rs 2,455 per quintal in 37,830 lots.

CURRENCY MARKET UPDATES:
The partially convertible rupee closed at its lowest level
since Jan. 6 at 63.32/33 per dollar versus the previous
close of 62.8175/8275 on the back of dollar selling on be-
half of the Daiichi Sankyo exit from Sun Pharma, while
losses in the euro also hurt. The Rupee plummeted 50
paise to 63.30 per US dollar following the firm undertone
in the greenback overseas. This was the weakest mark in
three months for the Rupee
The benchmark 10-year bond yield ended up 1 basis point
at 7.76 percent amid lack of fresh triggers. The market is
expected to move in a tight band in the absence of any big
development. The benchmark five-year swap rate ended
lower 1 basis point at 7.07 percent, while the one-year
swap rate closed up 1 bp at 7.57 percent.
India's one-day cash rate at 8.50/8.55 percent versus
Wednesday's closing rate of 6.80/6.90 percent
The dollar was little changed against a basket of other ma-
jor currencies on Thursday, after data showed that U.S.
jobless claims rose unexpectedly last week and as markets
still eyed the release of an additional report on U.S. new
home sales. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the
greenback's strength against a trade-weighted basket of six
major currencies, was down 0.09% to 98.15. EUR/USD rose
0.30% to 1.0759. The pound remained lower, with GBP/
USD down 0.15% to 1.5015.
The rupee Thursday plummeted to an over three-month
low of 63.32 by losing 50 paise against the US dollar on
renewed demand for the American currency from banks
and importers amid foreign capital outflows in the equity
market. The domestic currency Thursday opened lower at
62.95 as against the last closing level of 62.82 at the Inter-
bank Foreign Exchange and dropped further to 63.34 be-
fore concluding at 63.32, marking a loss of 50 paise. The
rupee had last ended at 63.57 per dollar on January 6,
2015. Renewed dollar demand from banks and importers
in view of higher dollar overseas also affected the rupee
value against the dollar.
