  KEDIACOMMODITIES  P a g e  | 2 

   

BULLION UDPATE

¾ The  World  Gold  Council  (WGC) said  that  the  increase  in  gold 
import  duty  in  the  Union  Budget  may  lead  to  additional 
smuggling  of  gold,  especially  during  periods  of  high  demand 
such as the festival season.  

¾ India gold futures traded steady as pressure from lower crude 
was  offset  by  a  weak  rupee  back  home,  with  investors  eyeing 
Group of Eight summit for direction. 

¾ The  world's  largest  gold‐backed  exchange‐traded  fund,  the 


SPDR Gold Trust GLD, said holdings stood at 1,120.19 tonnes as 
of July 7. 

¾ Gold  remains  mildly  on  the  downside  with  934.8  minor 


resistances intact. Fresh dollar weakness has been an important 
driver in the market, and support is likely to have at 913.80 & 
902$. 

¾ Rupee tumbled to its lowest in two weeks as Asian stocks were 
lower, indicating that local shares would start down Inr look to 
touch 49 level once again.

BULLION UPDATE

¾ Silver ETF saw inflows of more than 570,000 ounces, bringing 
its  total  holdings  to  49.371  million  ounces  from  48.780 
million. 

¾ Import  tax  has  raised,  Gold  bars  are  being  raised  to  200 
rupees  ($4.1)  per  10  grams  from  100  rupees  earlier.  The

rupees ($20.7) per kg from 500 rupees earlier. 

¾ Silver  remains  weak  at  current  13$.  The  metal  is  tracking  a 
one  month  bear  channel  that  shows  parameters  12.25  and 
13.51.  

¾ Gold Silver ratio currently is at 70.28.

Gold import duty hike not to hit India bullion market. 

India to the increased import duty on gold was on expected lines.  This 
will  help  the  prices  shoot  up  and  cause  rise  in  smuggling.    On  big 
budget  day  Finance  minister  has  announced  to  doubled  the  import 
duty  on  gold  from  Rs  10  to  Rs  20/gm.  previously,  in  an  attempt  to 
clamp  down  smuggling  and  illegal  gold  transactions,  the  govt.  had 
reduced the import duty on gold.  

Though there was a reduction of 2% excise duty is announced but this 
will  only  applicable  to  branded  jewellery  and,  therefore,  no  benefit 
will reach the ordinary jewelers. The branded jewellery manufacturers 
are  only  few  in  numbers  in  the  country  compared  to  traditional 
jewelers.  However,  the  hike  is  fully  justified  simply  because  open 
market price of the Gold has nearly tripled in the last 5yrs.  

An additional burden of Rs 100 on purchase of 10 grams gold will be 
just marginal. Consumers are unlikely to protest at this small increase. 
Any  apprehension  that  an  additional  Rs  100/10  grams  fiscal  impost 
will hurt their business is unwarranted given the income elasticity of 
demand for gold. What may hurt India’s gold business is not the hike 
in customs duty, but high open market prices, suspect quality of gold 
jewellery and rampant speculation in the bourses and outside. India is 
world’s  largest  importer  of  gold,  a  commodity  that  doubles  as 
currency too and is known as a safe‐haven asset for investment and as 
a hedge against inflation.

                                                  GOLD CHART 

  Gold finished higher after oscillating much of the day in an inverse reaction to dollar
movements. But while the dollar was stronger late in the gold pit session, the greenback
 
pared its gains, and this prompted some late buying. Gold opened at 14495 and climbed
  marginally on the back of stronger oil prices, peaking at 14620. This move quickly reversed
as the dollar went on the offensive and oil gave up all its gains. Gold stayed well offered
 
throughout most of the session, slowly ticked lower. Good buying as the day unwound
  carried it higher to finally settle at 14604. Whereas Silver finished marginally softer in
reaction to a stronger U.S. dollar, although the metal pared its decline as the dollar gave
 
back some of its strength just ahead of silver's pit close. Silver opened at 21850 and light
  buying carried it to a high of 21974. However the metal could not sustain this level as oil and
base metal prices tumbled. The selling was persistent as the dollar strengthened and equity
 
markets slumped, falling to an intraday low of 21700. It traded near its lows until the tail
  end of the session when it became well bid, closing at 21817.

  Now support for the gold MCX is seen at 14526 and below could see a test of 14448.
Resistance is now likely to be seen at 14651, a move above could see prices testing 14698.
 
And similarly support for the silver is seen at 21687 and below could see a test of 21556.
  Resistance is now likely to be seen at 21961, a move above could see prices testing 22104.

SPOT BULLION UPDATE: 
 
International  Gold  is  still  under  pressure,  as  technically  trading  below  the  key 
 
resistance level of 934$ & 937$ as below this chart has formed a consecutive bearish 
 
candlestick  so  we  expect  the  pressure  to  mount  continuously  below  this  level. 
 
Whereas  Silver  is  moving  steadily  downwards,  resuming  the  previous  channel  which 
  was  indicating  the  selling  zone  to  finished  till  12.48$  level  Hence,  we  will  keep  our 
  intraday outlook to the downside as bears still control the movements only the treat 
  comes if the silver manages to cross the resistance at 13.56$ otherwise below 12.984 
  we can find the support at 12.74$, 12.56$ & 12.42$ level soon.

Bank of Korea Likely to Buy Gold for 1st Time in 11 Years 
 

 
The  Bank  of  Korea  has  not  purchased  gold  for  11  years, 
 
but  is  expected  to  go  on  a  gold  buying  spree,  as  the 
 
world’s  central  banks  have  bought  the  commodity  since 
  the global economic erupted in September last year. 
 
A  Bank  of  Korea  official  said  yesterday,  “The  bank  has 
 
begun  to  set  up  a  plan  to  manage  foreign  exchange 
 
reserves for next year. It has also closely watched central 
  banks  in  other  nations  and  trends  in  the  global  gold 
  market.  Given  the  changing  global  financial  environment, 
  the bank`s management plan is critical.” 
  According to experts, the comment implies that the bank 
  plans  to  buy  gold  soon.  Korea  has  the  world’s  sixth  most 
  foreign  exchange  reserves  but  ranks  just  56th  in  gold 
  holdings. 
  China,  which  has  the  world’s  largest  foreign  exchange 
  reserves,  has  secretly  bought  454  tons  of  gold  over  the 
  past  six  years.  This  has  intensified  global  competition  to 
 
obtain more gold. 
  The amount of gold bought by China over the period is 32 
  times  larger  than  the  Bank  of  Korea`s  gold  reserves.  The 
  world’s central banks have rushed to buy gold since they 
believe  the  metal  will  replace  the  greenback  when  the 
 
dollar’s status as the world’s leading currency weakens.
