Global markets at a glance
US stocks ended little changed on Tuesday as declines in
Home Depot and other retailers following results offset
upbeat US retail sales data. Home Depot's stock was down
2.7 percent and was the biggest drag for both the S&P 500
and Dow. Although the home improvement chain reported
strong earnings and raised its forecast, investors appeared
to be worried about supply constraints in the housing mar-
ket that could be a drag on Home Depot's future earnings.
Shares of smaller rival Lowe's Cos were down 4.4 percent.
The S&P 500 consumer discretionary index , down 0.9 per-
cent, also took a hit from a steep fall in the shares of Coach
and Advance Auto Parts after disappointing results. The
S&P 500 retail index was down 1.6 percent.
The broad-based major European indices closed higher in
Tuesday's trading session, as rising airline stocks and natu-
ral gas and electricity suppliers boosted the markets. In
economic news,the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) re-
ported that the German economy continued to grow in Q2.
that positive contributions came from domestic demand.
Asian shares were mostly higher in early Wednesday trade
as investors digested earnings releases from regional cor-
porates and a resurgent dollar. Japan's Nikkei 225 edged
down 0.03 percent, with gains in most tech stocks offset by
losses in auto names. South Korea's Kospi rose 0.67 percent
as markets returned from a public holiday. Australia's S&P/
ASX 200 gained 0.07 percent, as steep gains in the energy
sub-index, which was up by 3.26 percent, were offset by
declines in the health care, information technology and
financial sub-indexes.
Previous day Roundup
Domestic bourses logged modest gains on first trading day
of the week boosted by positive global cues. The barome-
ter index, the S&P BSE Sensex, gained 235.44 points or
0.75% to settle at 31,449.03. The Nifty 50 index gained
83.35 points or 0.86% to settle at 9,794.15. Global stocks
rallied as US inflation data dampened prospects of a rate
hike this year. Stock markets remain closed tomorrow, 15
August 2017, on account of Independence Day.

COMMODITY ROUNDUP
Gold slipped from near two month highs as global stocks
edged up on the first day of the week. The metal had soared
on geopolitical worries last week. A continued selloff hit
stocks as investors pared their riskier positions amid rise in
geopolitical tensions between the US and North Korea. This
benefited the metal and COMEX Gold soared near $1300
per ounce mark. However, equities raced up today as mar-
kets reverted back to the theme of generous earnings and
also considered the nice shape global economy is placed
right now. Stocks rose around 1% in Asia and European eq-
uities are also showing similar gains. COMEX Gold is down
0.43% at $1288 per ounce right now. , down 0.46% on the
day.

stock markets took sheen off the bullion futures. Both Gold

following the worrisome geopolitical scenario as the stand-
off between the US and North Korea reached a tipping
point. COMEX Silver soared above $17 per ounce on a tre-
mendous rally. However, the Silver futures slipped in Asia as
equities gained around half a percent. The metal also eyed a
somewhat weak undertone in base metals, particularly Cop-
per. COMEX Silver is currently trading at $17.02 per ounce,
down 0.25% on the day. MCX Silver futures hit a six week
high on Friday, breaking above Rs 39000 per kg in a convinc-
ing manner.

tions in the Copper futures markets higher this week, ac-
cording to the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) data

(CFTC) on Friday. The non-commercial futures contracts of
Copper futures, traded by large speculators and hedge
funds, totaled a net position of 33,136 contracts in the data

Cardamom futures were trading higher during the evening
trade in the domestic market on Monday as investors and
speculators extended their positions in the agri-commodity
amid rise in physical demand for cardamom in the domestic
spot market. Further insufficient supplies on higher physical
arrivals from the major cardamom producing regions sup-
ported the upward trend in the domestic cardamom prices.

was trading at Rs 1173.50 per kg up by 4 per cent after
opening at Rs 1162 against a previous close of Rs 1128.40. It
touched the intra-day high of Rs 1173.50

mand in physical mandies have increased chana prices

Lawrence road. Moreover, fragile sowing trend of kharif
pulses is also supporting the chana prices at lower levels. As
per the latest data compiled by Ministry of Agriculture,
pulses acreage is reported at 127.98 lakh hectares so far
against 129.59 lakh hectares in the year-ago period. The
NCDEX September futures increased by 2.51% to close at Rs

The Indian rupee recovered against the dollar in early
trades on Monday, 14 August 2017, reversing its three-day
downward trend on fresh selling of the American currency
by exporters. Besides, the dollar's weakness against some
currencies overseas and early gains in the domestic equity
market supported the rupee.
The domestic currency opened at Rs 63.9925 against the
dollar and dropped to a low of 64.0275 so far during the
day. In the spot currency market, the Indian unit was last
seen trading at 64.0175. The rupee had lost 5 paise to
close 64.13 against the US currency in Friday's trade due to
sustained demand for the American currency from import-
ers and corporates.
Domestic benchmark indices extended intraday gains and
hit fresh intraday high in morning trade. At 10:18 IST, the
barometer index, the S&P BSE Sensex, was up 221.79
points or 0.71% at 31,435.38. The Nifty 50 index was up
71.55 points or 0.74% at 9,782.35. Positive cues from from
Asian market boosted investors' sentiment. Overseas,
Asian stocks were trading higher after three losing ses-
sions, tracking a firm closing on the Wall Street. Gains
among technology companies helped snap a three-day los-
ing streak for US stocks on Friday, 11 August 2017.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 14.31 points to
close at 21,858.32. The S&P 500 gained 3.11 points, or
0.1%, to end at 2,441.32. The Nasdaq Composite Index
climbed 39.68 points, or 0.6%, to close at 6,256.56. Inves-
tors bet on slower US rate hikes following weaker-than-
expected consumer price data. But gains were muted by
increasingly aggressive exchanges between Washington
and Pyongyang Geopolitical risks were expected to remain
a key theme for the global markets in the near term, as
North Korea celebrates Liberation Day on Tuesday, 15 Au-
gust 2017, to mark the end of Japanese rule. Investors also
braced for tensions ahead of 21 August 2017, when an an-
nual joint US-South Korean military exercise is due to be-
gin.
