Wall Street Update
U.S. stocks closed with moderate losses Tuesday, pushing
the Dow Jones Industrial Average back below 18,000 for
the first time in about a week. Energy-sector stocks were
among the day’s worst performers even as the U.S. oil
benchmark stabilized, however briefly, a little above re-
cent lows. Adding to the negative tone, a consumer-
confidence figure jumped less than expected. The S&P
500 SPX, -0.49% pulled back 10.22 points, or 0.5%, to finish
at 2,080.35, a day after scoring its 53rd record close of the
year. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 55.16 points,
or 0.31 percent, to 17,983.07, the S&P 500 lost 10.22
points, or 0.49 percent, to 2,080.35 and the Nasdaq Com-
posite dropped 29.47 points, or 0.61 percent, to 4,777.44.
Previous day Roundup
It was another day of consolidation for equity benchmarks
on Tuesday due to lack of volumes while the broader mar-
kets mildly outperformed. Banks and capital goods stocks
supported the market while oil & gas and metals stocks
were under pressure. The 30-share BSE Sensex advanced
7.81 points to 27403.54 while the 50-share NSE Nifty failed
to close above the 8250 level, up 1.95 points at 8248.25.
The BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices gained 0.5 percent
and 0.2 percent, respectively.

COMMODITY ROUNDUP
Crude oil continued to drift lower as investors geared up for
the upcoming New Year holidays. US stocks stalled yester-
day after hitting record highs and renewed worries over
Eurozone economy, led by a snap election in Greece kept a
tab on the sentiments. This has pulled WTI crude to another
five and half year low. The commodity quotes at $53.15 per
barrel right now, down 46 cents per barrel on the day. The
counter has dropped around 50%since it hit a one year high
around $107 per barrel six moths back. MCX Crude oil is
quoting at Rs 3397per barrel, down Rs 17 per barrel on the
day. Continued demand worries have hit global crude oil
prices in recent weeks.
MCX Natural gas futures were trading at Rs 201.40 per
mmtbu, down Rs 2.40 per mmbtu or around 1.20% on the
day amid continued worries over heating demand. Prices
tested a low of Rs 200.50 per mmbtu.
Indian copper smelters raised output 33 per cent in April-
November over a year before, to take advantage of higher
conversion rates — treatment and refining charges (Tc/Rc)
in industry parlance. Data from the mines ministry showed
refined copper output at 497,847 tonnes in April–
November, the first seven months of this financial year, as
compared to 374,418 tonnes in the corresponding period
last year
MCX Gold witnessed some profit selling as the global prices
came off their highs near $1190 per ounce. Gold witnessed
some bargain hunting in Asia as a steep drop inthe last ses-
sion triggered good buying in the commodity. Uncertainty
over the Greece political upheaval also supported the yel-
low metal. However, continued dollar strength ledto some
intraday correction and COMEX Gold now quotes at 1185
per ounce, up $3 per ounce on the day.
Gold imports from India are turning up and traders expect it
to support the global prices after the commodity fell to low-
est level in five years. India's trade deficit for November
widened to USD 16.8 billion as gold imports jumped nearly
seven times to USD 5.61billion. Gold buying from Russia
also remains strong. The Central Bank of the Russian Fed-
eration added more gold to their reserves.

NCDEX ROUNDUP
Cardamom prices gained 1.46 per cent to Rs 1,007.30 per kg
in futures trade today as speculators engaged in enlarging
positions amid rising demand in spot markets. Besides, tight
stocks position in the physical market following restricted
supplies from major producing belts, supported the uptrend
in cardamom prices. At the Multi Commodity Exchange,
cardamom for delivery in February 2015 rose by Rs 14.50,
or 1.46 per cent, to Rs 1,007.30 per kg in a business turn-
over of 97 lots. Likewise, the spice for delivery in January
2015 edged up by Rs 10.70, or 1.11 per cent, to Rs 972.80
per kg in 275 lots. Speculators enlarging their positions,
tracking a firm trend at spot market on strong demand
against tight supplies from producing regions, helped carda-
mom prices to trade higher at futures trade.
Fresh shorts were seen in castor seed futures as prices were
trading at huge premium over spot prices along with possi-
bility of strong production in the current year. The NCDEX
February futures declined by more than 1 percent yester-
day. The market sources mentioned that huge premium of
over Rs 500 per quintal in castor seed futures over spot
prices have prompted heavy stockiest selling in futures mar-
ket. The spot prices are currently trading at Rs 4300 per
quinta at Disa mandi, while futures were trading at Rs 4800
per quintal in yesterday's trading. The NCDEX Castor seed
February futures reduced by 1.05 percent today to close at
Rs 4751 per quintal. The NCDEX futures added 5.80 percent
in open interest indicating fresh short position by traders.

CURRENCY MARKET UPDATES:
The rupee has been rather resilient in 2014, but going
ahead it will be a function of what type of capital comes in
and what kind of expectation build up happens vis-a-vis the
rate action in the United States, The government’s recent
ordinances show the intent of the government on fiscal re-
forms and it will have a positive impact on FII inflows and
also the money that is already in India.
The Indian rupee rebounded sharply on Tuesday after four
consecutive sessions of losses as a weakening dollar
prompted exporters to sell the U.S. currency, while a spurt
in buying of domestic debt by foreign investors also helped.
The yen gained sharply against both the dollar and the euro
as investors sought the traditional safety of the Japanese
currency amid end-of-year nerves over economic risks
ahead. Sentiment was also buoyed after foreign institu-
tional investors net bought government bonds for about
8.36 billion rupees ($131.6 million) on Monday.
The partially convertible rupee ended at 63.39/3950 per
dollar compared with previous close of 63.6725/6850, as a
weakening dollar prompted exporters to sell the U.S. cur-
rency, while a spurt in buying of domestic debt by foreign
investors also helped.
Indian benchmark bond yield ended 6 basis points down at
7.87 percent, on lower crude prices and as gains in rupee
aided sentiment in debt.
The benchmark five-year rate ended 3 basis points lower at
7.19 percent, while the one-year rate down 5 basis points at
7.76 percent.
The one-day cash rate ended down at 8.10/8.15 percent
versus the previous day's close of 8.20/8.25 percent.
