Players in the market:

Hedging strategies are used by the hedger to reduce the risk. Hedgers may reduce the risk but in
doing so, they can reduce the profit potential. Their main objective is to protect the profit and
limit the expenses.
For Instance- A cereal manufacturer wants to hedge against wheat price rising by buying a futures
contract that promises delivery of July wheat at a specified price.
Speculators-A speculators are the people who trade derivatives, commodities, bonds, equities or
currencies with a more risk in return for a higher than the average profit. Speculators take large
risks, to earn the higher profits. Speculators are typically sophisticated risk-taking investors as
10
they have expertise in the markets in which they are trading in; they use investments
like futures and options. These investors are call speculators because of their ability to predict
price changes. Normally, speculators do not operate for a short time period as the traditional
investors. For instance: An investor who is investing by seeing the bearish trend with a prediction
or expectation of an increase in trend in near future. This unpredictable and risky investment is
what a speculator does.
Arbitragers- An arbitrager is a attempting to profit from price differences in the market. These
people buy from one market and sell it to the other with the higher price range. They make the
risk-free profits.
For example, searching for the stocks registered in different markets, then buying the stock from
the market where the stock price is less and selling it to the other market where the stock price is
more than the buying price.

money, this will contribute to fall in consumer spending. Often, this effect will not be given too
much importance. However, people who buy shares are prepared to lose their money, their
spending patterns are usually independent of the shares prices.
2. Investment- Falling of the share prices may hamper the firm ability to raise finance on
the stock market. Firms who are expanding wish to borrow money by issuing more shares,
which provides them a low cost way of borrowing more money. However, it becomes more
difficult with the falling of the share prices.
3. Bond Market- A fall in the stock market may lead to other investments more attractive. People
can move out of shares and can invest into government bonds or gold.
Effect of Stock Market on the Ordinary people
1. Effect on Pensions- People with the private pension or investment trust will be affected with
the fall in the fall in the share prices of the stock market indirectly, as it will reduce the value of
the pension funds. Thus, future pension layouts will be lower.

study concluded that the relationship between Gold and USD is inelastic and negative. But, this

India is largest importing nation of precious metal with the main consumption for jewellery.
Dollar is important to look upon when we are talking of gold prices. They have an inverse
correlations with each other i.e. the price of dollar is increase the price of gold is decrease and
vice-versa. The gold price increases at the time of recession and economic prosperity.

GOLD -0.3562776 1.00 0.8944292
SILVER -0.2615521 0.8944292 1.00
Interpretation
This shows that there is an inverse relationship between Gold and USD, Silver and USD and a
positive relationship between Gold and Silver due to macroeconomic factors such as political
events and uncertainties at that span of time i.e from October 2016- March 2017. By calculating
the correlation of Gold and USD of last 5 years we get the value of -10.812 (5 years weekly data).
Thus we can say that the correlation is more in 6 months data due to the increased demand in third
quarter.

Calculation of mean, SD, skewness and kurtosis on Gold Data
 From the following table the mean value of the 6 months gold price came out to be
28940.59 which simply describes the average value of the data.
 Value of SD or Standard deviation is 1029.922 by which the range is being calculated as
mean+-SD and it comes out to be 27910.67-29970.51 and nearly the difference between
the highest and the lowest value comes out to be 2059.84 which shows high deviation in
the data and this is because of the high prevailing prices of gold in the third quarter because
of rise in demand for gold due to the Indian festival “DHAN TERAS”.
 Value of skewness is positive which indicates the graph will be positively skewed and more
of the values will lie on the right side of the graph.
 Value of kurtosis is negative which shows the flatness of the graph and simply describes
the deviation in the data.

Interpretation
Reserve Bank of India holds a gold reserve of 557.77 tones, out of which 265.49 is held in the
safe custody with Bank of England and Bank of Settlement (BIS). Gold, Gold Jewellery will be
taxed 3% against the current effective price of 2%. The higher tax would make Jewellery
buying costlier, thus the move to levy the higher tax will benefit more to larger player in the
organized structure. The reason why jewelers are not restocking the gold because number of
jewelers have illegal stocks which they had to liquidate before the GST rolls out. It is said that
excise of 1 per cent paid on the stock is non-cenvatable. This is the reason why gold is available
at a discount in the local market.
The gold demand in India is 674 tones in 2016. Even if the GST rates fixed at a lower rate, the
gold demand in India will be range from 650- 750 tones.The current tax on gold is around 12 %
which includes customs duty, excise duty and VAT. The council is of the opinion that the GST
rate should be below that as it will bring about a behavioral change among the consumers.
Despite of the gold showing 15% growth in Q1. It is assumed that it will remain to grow in the
second quarter due to good Akshay Trithiya sales. Kerala has recommended 5% GST on gold.
The rate has not yet been decided for the exchange of old gold to new gold. If there will be a low
GST rate then it will bring down the prices and if it is high then industry may take more time to
adjust it.

Fundamental Facts
6.1 EFFECT OF SUBPRIME CRISES ON GOLD
Subprime crises are the crises which was started in 2008 and had affected the mortgage industry
because of the borrowers being approved for the loan which they can’t afford. Thus, a rise in
foreclosures led to the collapse of many lending institutions. These crises affected the global credit
market leading to higher interest rates as well as decreased the availability of credit. The Gold
prices started rose in 2009, but this stage of gold to rise was started in 2008. At the time Gold was
being sold as the investors sought to fund so as to shore up their losses from the other markets.
The above chart shows that the gold fell at $681 on 24. October 2008 and settle on $729.10 At
December 2008, the monetary policy meeting was held to stabilize the market as well as the
economy. First it voted to reduce the Federal funds target from 0%-0.25%, Second, they decided
to buy $600 billion in agency debt and agency mortgage backed securities.
Thus, it was a start to a big inflation period.
In this, Gold was traded above $1000 level whereas Comex Gold Futures settles at $1096.20 an
ounce on 31 December, 2009 a 24% rise from December 2008, where the price was $884.30

6.2 IMPACT OF US NON- FARM EMPLOYMENT PAYROLL ON GOLD
Non farm payroll is connected to the people who are engaged in the activity other than farming. It
measures the change in the number of people employed in the previous month compared to the
current month. Higher payrolls leads to negative impact on precious metals (Gold and Silver)
while positive impact on base metals. On the other hand, lower payrolls leads to positive impact
on precious metals and a negative impact to base metals. affects the US dollar, the Foreign
exchange market, the bond market, and the stock market. The nonfarm payroll statistic is released
monthly, on the first Friday of the month, by the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics as part of the
Employment Situation Report on the state of the labour market.Nonfarm payrolls are also closely
watched by the Fed, as it is an indicator of how quick the economy is growing There is no clear
long-term relationship between the gold price and job gains. Employment statistics move the
price of gold in the short-term. Good news from the labor market is negative for the shiny metal.
In such a case, the price of gold tends to fall on the day when the Nonfarm Payroll Report comes
out.Spot gold had dropped 0.2 per cent to $1,262.95 per ounce by 0054 GMT. It has fallen0.3 per
cent for the week and could register its first weekly decline in four weeks. U.S. gold futures fell
0.4 per cent to $1,265.60 an ounce.
6.3 IMPACT OF FED INTEREST RATE HIKE ON GOLD
U.S central bank increase their quarter short term rates by 1- 1.25%. These interest rate hikes
will boost up the dollar and will also boost up the bond yields up which will lead put pressure on
gold price. Thus this interest rate hike would make it less attractive to hold non- yielding bullion,
while dollar boosting up.

Technical Analysis
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
STOCHASTIC OSCILLATOR
The stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator that compares the closing price of a security to
the range of its prices over a certain period of time. The sensitivity of the oscillator to market
movements is reducible by adjustment of the time period or by taking a average by moving
average method of the result.
Blue line= K%
Red line= R%
If blue line cuts the red line from below it indicates the upward trend in the price. But if the red
line cuts the blue line towards down it will be showing the downward trend in the price in the near
future.
46
RSI (RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX)
The relative strength index (RSI) is a technical indicator used to analyze the financial markets.
It is used to figure out the current and historical strength or weakness of a stock or the closing
prices of a recent trading period.
The RSI is classified as a momentum oscillator because it is used to measure the velocity and
magnitude of directional price movements where, Momentum is the rate at which the price rise or
fall.
The RSI is mostly used on a 14-day timeframe, with the measurement scale of range 0 to 100, with
high and low levels marked at 70 and 30 respectively. Shorter or longer timeframes are used for
alternately shorter or longer predictions according to a person’s need. Extreme high and low
levels—80 and 20, or 90 and 10—occur less frequently indicating the stronger momentum.
47
MOVING AVERAGE – MA
A widely used indicator in technical analysis because it helps to smooth out the price action by
filtering out the “noise” from uneven price fluctuations. A moving average (MA) is a trend-
following indicator as it is based on past prices.
The two basic and commonly used MAs are:
1) the simple moving average (SMA), and
2) the Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
48
TREND ANALYSIS
Source*investing.com
INTERPRETATION
Moving Average: The moving average line is showing the downward trend as the line is above
the candles and is moving downwards. This shows the downward prediction in the gold trend.
Stochastic: Blue line shows the K% whereas red line shows the R%. Since both the lines are
moving downwards this also shows the downward trend but until the blue line cuts the red line and
moves upward. Also this trend is showing the over selling situation as this is below the 20. We
will be making strategies at this point and will buy once the line again cuts the 20 level from below
and starts rising.
RSI: Although RSI trend line is also showing the downward trend but there is no over selling or
over buying of the commodity.
By these three we can only predict the downward trend in this commodity.

PATTERNS
CONSOLIDATION
Consolidation is used in technical analysis to describe the movement of a stock's price within a
defined range of price. Consolidation is generally regarded as a period where decision cannot be
taken, which starts and ends when the price of the asset moves above or below the prices in the
definite pattern. Consolidation pattern is also defined as a set of financial statements that
represents a parent company and a subsidiary company as one.
Source*Ticker plant software
Target Amount= Highest price-lowest price (in the consolidation range)
Stop loss= Target Amount/2
50
DOUBLE BOTTOM
A double bottom is a charting pattern which used in technical analysis. It is used to describe the
drop of a stock or index, another drop to the similar level as the previous drop, and finally the
other bound. The double bottom looks like the alphabet "W". The lower touch is marked as the
support level.
Source*tradingview.com
Target Amount= Price at Resistance – Price at support
Stop Loss= Support Price
For instance: In the above figure we can calculate the target amount and stop loss as:
Target amount=81538.4 - 80948.7= 589.7
Stop loss = 80948.7
With this we can say that we can get a maximum profit of the target amount i.e. Rs.589.7 and will
sell the stock when the price will reach Rs. 80948.7 i.e. we will not bear the loss more than stop
loss.
51
Rectangle
Source*tradingview.com
Interpretation
Where, target amount = upper range of rectangle – lower range of rectangle
Stop loss= target amount/2
It can indicate both bearish and bullish trend depending on the breakout of the pattern. In this figure
it is showing the bearish trend as the break out is when the prices are following the downturn.
For instance: upper range of rectangle is indicating the price i.e. $1697.74 and
The lower range is $1632.78.
Target amount = 1697.74 – 1632.78 = 64.96
Stop loss = 32.48
Here we will not bear the loss of more than $ 32.48 and will set the target up so that we can earn
the profit of $ 64.96.

increasing and vice versa. There is a negative correlation between Gold and USD prices.
Positive Correlation between Gold- Silver (0.8944292)
When the values of the correlation change in the same direction, there is a positive correlation.
Both the prices are moving in an same direction i.e. when gold price is increasing silver prices
also increasing and vice versa. There is a negative correlation between Gold and Silver prices.
Regression
Regression 0.8 gold – silver
This indicates that Gold is 80% dependent on silver prices. So, there is a relationship between
Gold and Silver prices.
59
Regression 0.1269 gold- usd
This indicates that there is less dependency of Gold on dollar prices. So, there is negative, inelastic
relationship between Gold and USD prices.
Standard Deviation(1029.922)
It has been find out that in the span of October 2016- March 2017 there is a high volatility in the
movement of Gold prices due to event took place such as AKSHAYTRITIYA. Therefore, the
standard deviation is positive.
RECOMMENDATIONS
There are five ways of investment in Gold i.e. Jewellery, Investment in terms of bars and coins,
Technology, ETFs and Through central banks and other institutions. Investors can divide their
investment in gold in different segments which means Investors should invest in Gold in partial
terms.
Investors not to buy Gold in bulk quantity, it is recommended to buy in small quantities as this
will not trouble the investors when the prices go down. Also, all the investment should not be made
at a single price and should be invested a little amount at one time. The investors should first
analyze the trend of the Gold and then place an order. It is also recommended to avoid investing
in physical Gold terms buy ETFs and Gold bonds.
Gold is one of the best source of investment, as investors should invest when the market is too
risky.

CONCLUSION
Gold is considered to be the saving instrument in India and it is used very often to hedge against
the inflation, Geopolitical and economic conditions and it is expected that the gold is considered
to be an alternative asset for holding the idle money for speculative purposes.
But the another aspect to the study is that there is a risk involved in investing in Gold. It is better
to analyze the risk before investing in Gold.
Therefore, I conclude that we should invest in gold by analyzing the past trends and checking the
technical aspects as well as the fundamental aspects. From the study I conclude that the investor
should invest in gold to gain short term profit.
Limitations of the study
 The analysis of the investment is mainly based on the historical data
 The analysis done does not give guarantee of what happened in the past will also continue
in future
 The findings/fundamental facts may be useful for the investors, but their investment
decisions mainly depend on their level of expectation and will be based on the future
performance of the market.

  • 42. 42 Interpretation Reserve Bank of India holds a gold reserve of 557.77 tones, out of which 265.49 is held in the safe custody with Bank of England and Bank of Settlement (BIS). Gold, Gold Jewellery will be taxed 3% against the current effective price of 2%. The higher tax would make Jewellery buying costlier, thus the move to levy the higher tax will benefit more to larger player in the organized structure. The reason why jewelers are not restocking the gold because number of jewelers have illegal stocks which they had to liquidate before the GST rolls out. It is said that excise of 1 per cent paid on the stock is non-cenvatable. This is the reason why gold is available at a discount in the local market. The gold demand in India is 674 tones in 2016. Even if the GST rates fixed at a lower rate, the gold demand in India will be range from 650- 750 tones.The current tax on gold is around 12 % which includes customs duty, excise duty and VAT. The council is of the opinion that the GST rate should be below that as it will bring about a behavioral change among the consumers. Despite of the gold showing 15% growth in Q1. It is assumed that it will remain to grow in the second quarter due to good Akshay Trithiya sales. Kerala has recommended 5% GST on gold. The rate has not yet been decided for the exchange of old gold to new gold. If there will be a low GST rate then it will bring down the prices and if it is high then industry may take more time to adjust it.
  • 43. 43 Chapter 7 Fundamental Facts 6.1 EFFECT OF SUBPRIME CRISES ON GOLD Subprime crises are the crises which was started in 2008 and had affected the mortgage industry because of the borrowers being approved for the loan which they can’t afford. Thus, a rise in foreclosures led to the collapse of many lending institutions. These crises affected the global credit market leading to higher interest rates as well as decreased the availability of credit. The Gold prices started rose in 2009, but this stage of gold to rise was started in 2008. At the time Gold was being sold as the investors sought to fund so as to shore up their losses from the other markets. The above chart shows that the gold fell at $681 on 24. October 2008 and settle on $729.10 At December 2008, the monetary policy meeting was held to stabilize the market as well as the economy. First it voted to reduce the Federal funds target from 0%-0.25%, Second, they decided to buy $600 billion in agency debt and agency mortgage backed securities. Thus, it was a start to a big inflation period. In this, Gold was traded above $1000 level whereas Comex Gold Futures settles at $1096.20 an ounce on 31 December, 2009 a 24% rise from December 2008, where the price was $884.30
  • 44. 44 6.2 IMPACT OF US NON- FARM EMPLOYMENT PAYROLL ON GOLD Non farm payroll is connected to the people who are engaged in the activity other than farming. It measures the change in the number of people employed in the previous month compared to the current month. Higher payrolls leads to negative impact on precious metals (Gold and Silver) while positive impact on base metals. On the other hand, lower payrolls leads to positive impact on precious metals and a negative impact to base metals. affects the US dollar, the Foreign exchange market, the bond market, and the stock market. The nonfarm payroll statistic is released monthly, on the first Friday of the month, by the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics as part of the Employment Situation Report on the state of the labour market.Nonfarm payrolls are also closely watched by the Fed, as it is an indicator of how quick the economy is growing There is no clear long-term relationship between the gold price and job gains. Employment statistics move the price of gold in the short-term. Good news from the labor market is negative for the shiny metal. In such a case, the price of gold tends to fall on the day when the Nonfarm Payroll Report comes out.Spot gold had dropped 0.2 per cent to $1,262.95 per ounce by 0054 GMT. It has fallen0.3 per cent for the week and could register its first weekly decline in four weeks. U.S. gold futures fell 0.4 per cent to $1,265.60 an ounce. 6.3 IMPACT OF FED INTEREST RATE HIKE ON GOLD U.S central bank increase their quarter short term rates by 1- 1.25%. These interest rate hikes will boost up the dollar and will also boost up the bond yields up which will lead put pressure on gold price. Thus this interest rate hike would make it less attractive to hold non- yielding bullion, while dollar boosting up.
  • 45. 45 Chapter 8 Technical Analysis TECHNICAL ANALYSIS STOCHASTIC OSCILLATOR The stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator that compares the closing price of a security to the range of its prices over a certain period of time. The sensitivity of the oscillator to market movements is reducible by adjustment of the time period or by taking a average by moving average method of the result. Blue line= K% Red line= R% If blue line cuts the red line from below it indicates the upward trend in the price. But if the red line cuts the blue line towards down it will be showing the downward trend in the price in the near future.
  • 46. 46 RSI (RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX) The relative strength index (RSI) is a technical indicator used to analyze the financial markets. It is used to figure out the current and historical strength or weakness of a stock or the closing prices of a recent trading period. The RSI is classified as a momentum oscillator because it is used to measure the velocity and magnitude of directional price movements where, Momentum is the rate at which the price rise or fall. The RSI is mostly used on a 14-day timeframe, with the measurement scale of range 0 to 100, with high and low levels marked at 70 and 30 respectively. Shorter or longer timeframes are used for alternately shorter or longer predictions according to a person’s need. Extreme high and low levels—80 and 20, or 90 and 10—occur less frequently indicating the stronger momentum.
  • 47. 47 MOVING AVERAGE – MA A widely used indicator in technical analysis because it helps to smooth out the price action by filtering out the “noise” from uneven price fluctuations. A moving average (MA) is a trend- following indicator as it is based on past prices. The two basic and commonly used MAs are: 1) the simple moving average (SMA), and 2) the Exponential Moving Average (EMA).
  • 48. 48 TREND ANALYSIS Source*investing.com INTERPRETATION Moving Average: The moving average line is showing the downward trend as the line is above the candles and is moving downwards. This shows the downward prediction in the gold trend. Stochastic: Blue line shows the K% whereas red line shows the R%. Since both the lines are moving downwards this also shows the downward trend but until the blue line cuts the red line and moves upward. Also this trend is showing the over selling situation as this is below the 20. We will be making strategies at this point and will buy once the line again cuts the 20 level from below and starts rising. RSI: Although RSI trend line is also showing the downward trend but there is no over selling or over buying of the commodity. By these three we can only predict the downward trend in this commodity.

The lower touch is marked as the support level. Source*tradingview.com Target Amount= Price at Resistance – Price at support Stop Loss= Support Price For instance: In the above figure we can calculate the target amount and stop loss as: Target amount=81538.4 - 80948.7= 589.7 Stop loss = 80948.7 With this we can say that we can get a maximum profit of the target amount i.e. Rs.589.7 and will sell the stock when the price will reach Rs. 80948.7 i.e. we will not bear the loss more than stop loss.
  • 51. 51 Rectangle Source*tradingview.com Interpretation Where, target amount = upper range of rectangle – lower range of rectangle Stop loss= target amount/2 It can indicate both bearish and bullish trend depending on the breakout of the pattern. In this figure it is showing the bearish trend as the break out is when the prices are following the downturn. For instance: upper range of rectangle is indicating the price i.e. $1697.74 and The lower range is $1632.78. Target amount = 1697.74 – 1632.78 = 64.96 Stop loss = 32.48 Here we will not bear the loss of more than $ 32.48 and will set the target up so that we can earn the profit of $ 64.96.

  • 59. 59 Regression 0.1269 gold- usd This indicates that there is less dependency of Gold on dollar prices. So, there is negative, inelastic relationship between Gold and USD prices. Standard Deviation(1029.922) It has been find out that in the span of October 2016- March 2017 there is a high volatility in the movement of Gold prices due to event took place such as AKSHAYTRITIYA. Therefore, the standard deviation is positive. RECOMMENDATIONS There are five ways of investment in Gold i.e. Jewellery, Investment in terms of bars and coins, Technology, ETFs and Through central banks and other institutions. Investors can divide their investment in gold in different segments which means Investors should invest in Gold in partial terms. Investors not to buy Gold in bulk quantity, it is recommended to buy in small quantities as this will not trouble the investors when the prices go down. Also, all the investment should not be made at a single price and should be invested a little amount at one time. The investors should first analyze the trend of the Gold and then place an order. It is also recommended to avoid investing in physical Gold terms buy ETFs and Gold bonds. Gold is one of the best source of investment, as investors should invest when the market is too risky.
  • 60. 60 CONCLUSION Gold is considered to be the saving instrument in India and it is used very often to hedge against the inflation, Geopolitical and economic conditions and it is expected that the gold is considered to be an alternative asset for holding the idle money for speculative purposes. But the another aspect to the study is that there is a risk involved in investing in Gold. It is better to analyze the risk before investing in Gold. Therefore, I conclude that we should invest in gold by analyzing the past trends and checking the technical aspects as well as the fundamental aspects. From the study I conclude that the investor should invest in gold to gain short term profit. Limitations of the study  The analysis of the investment is mainly based on the historical data  The analysis done does not give guarantee of what happened in the past will also continue in future  The findings/fundamental facts may be useful for the investors, but their investment decisions mainly depend on their level of expectation and will be based on the future performance of the market.
