Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke held off from offering more stimulus to help economic growth

  • Stock Future
  • Gold climbed after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke held off from offering more stimulus to help economic growth, boosting the appeal of investments that can act as a protection of wealth.

    The gold on the COMEX rose 2.5% to USD 1,841.50 an ounce before trading up USD 19.20, or 1.1% at USD 1,816.50. Silver also rose 0.5% to USD 41.20 an ounce.

    Gold has fallen as much as 11% from its all-time high of USD 1,917.90 on Aug 23 as equities rebounded.

    Bernanke said in a speech at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on August 26 that the central bank still has tools to stimulate the economy, without providing details or signalling when or whether policy makers might deploy them.

    Japan's finance minister to be new PM.

  • Stock Future
  • Japanese Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda was chosen on Monday to become the sixth prime minister in five years, but he needs to overcome a divided parliament and deep rifts in the ruling party if he is to make more of a mark than his recent predecessors.

    Noda appears to be a safe pair of hands to lead the world's third-biggest economy but there are serious doubts whether he will have sufficient support to tackle Japan's myriad economic woes, lift it out of decades of stagnation and cope with a nuclear crisis.

    The 54-year-old Noda, who defeated Trade Minister Banri Kaieda in a run-off vote in the ruling party, must deal with a resurgent yen that threatens exports, forge a new energy policy while ending the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl, and find funds to rebuild from the March 11 tsunami at a time when huge public debt has already triggered a credit downgrade.

    "Noda has inherited all the same problems -- a divided parliament, a divided party, a strong yen, a Tohoku (northeastern Japan) desperate for progress on reconstruction and an early end to the nuclear crisis," said Jeffrey Kingston, director of Asian Studies at Temple University's Japan campus.

    NSE to launch Global Indices S&P 500, Dow Jones futures from 29 Aug

  • Stock Future
  • Dow jones
    This is the first time that derivative contracts on global indices are being launched in India. This is also the first time in the world that futures contracts on the S&P 500
    index are being introduced and listed on an exchange outside of their home country, the US.

    In order to encourage active participation in the futures and options (F&O) contracts, NSE has decided that it would not levy any transaction charges on the trades done in the
    contracts from the date of commencement till 29 February, 2012.

    The new contracts will include futures on both the DJIA and the S&P 500 and options on the S&P 500, it added.NSE would launch four quarterly futures contracts on S&P 500 and DJIA expiring in March, June, September and December.

    The expiry date for these contracts will be the third Friday of the respective contract month.

    “We are proud and happy that we have been able to provide these unique products on an Indian trading platform. We have been continuously trying to bring new products and asset classes, to meet investor needs.

    “Derivative contracts on these global indices will provide Indian investors easy access to US markets in Indian market hours, without taking any currency risk,” NSE Managing Director and Chief Executive Ravi Narain said.

    The rupee denominated derivative contracts on S&P and the DJIA introduced by NSE would provide Indian investors with easier access to gain exposure to the US equity market.

    All the members of the equity derivatives segment of NSE shall be able to trade this product for themselves and their clients, through their existing trading, clearing and risk management infrastructure, with no additional investment.

    The settlement guarantee currently available in the F&O segment shall be automatically extended to these products as well.In late June, NSE said it has got market regulator Sebi’s approval to launch derivative contracts on these two US indices. Sebi had released the regulatory framework for such
    products in January.

    This Week Is Likely To Provide More disagreeable situation

  • Stock Future
  • Yesterday’s revision of 2nd quarter GDP growth and Fed Chairman Bernanke’s speech are now history. With the Fed’s decision on another round of stimulus kicked out to its next FOMC meeting in late September, and 3rd quarter earnings not due for a month and a half, the market will return to focusing on individual economic reports and recession evidence. And in that regard next week will be huge.

    While what Bernanke might promise in his speech was getting all the attention, still more individual reports this week for July and August indicated the very weak economy of the first half slowed still further in July and August.

    This week’s reports were that the Chicago Fed’s National Business Activity Index remained negative in July. And its 3-month moving average improved only very slightly to minus –0.3 from minus –0.5, remaining just fractionally above the minus –0.7 that has marked the beginning of all the recessions since 1970.

    New home sales fell again in July, for the 3rd straight month, and June’s sales were revised down to a decline of 2.9% instead of the previous report of a decline of 1%.

    Durable Goods Orders rose 4% in July versus the consensus forecast for a rise of 2%. But the important number economists were looking for was orders excluding aircraft and defense orders, in other words spending in the general economy. The consensus forecast was for a rise of 0.5% in orders excluding aircraft and defense. It was thought that anything less than that would point to a further loss of economic momentum having taken place in July even before the debt-ceiling debacle and stock market sell-off cratered consumer and business confidence further in August. And this week’s report was that excluding aircraft and defense orders, durable goods orders actually fell by 1.5% in July.

    New unemployment claims rose by 5,000 last week to 417,000, and the previous week’s claims were revised up to 412,000 from the originally reported 408,000. The four-week moving average rose by 4,000 to 407,500.

    Yesterday, GDP growth for the 2nd quarter was revised down to just 1.0% from the dismal 1.3% initially reported.

    And it was reported that the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index fell to 55.7 in August, from 63.7 in July (and from 76 in June), not good news for consumer and business spending going forward.

    But next week will be an even more important week for data, including from the housing industry and the jobs situation, areas we haven’t had data from for several weeks.

    The reports will include Pending Home Sales, the Case/Shiller Home Price Index, Consumer Income and Spending, the ADP Jobs Report for August, the Chicago PMI Index, the ISM Mfg Index, Factory Orders, Construction Spending, Productivity, Auto Sales, and culminating with the Labor Department’s Employment Report for August on Friday.

    World Economic Growth for Q2 downgraded

  • Sunday 28 August 2011
  • Stock Future

  • The economy got a downgrade for the second quarter but it was in line with expectations.  The Commerce Department’s second estimate for second quarter GDP growth was nudged down to a modest gain of 1.0 percent annualized, compared to the initial estimate of 1.3 percent and to first quarter growth of 0.4 percent.  Analysts had projected a revision to 1.1 percent annualized.

     The downward revision to GDP primarily reflected downward revisions to private inventory investment and to exports.  These were partly offset by upward revisions to nonresidential fixed investment and to personal consumption expenditures.Final sales of domestic product were revised to an annualized 1.2 percent from the initial estimate of 1.1 percent.  Final sales to domestic purchasers were revised up to 1.1 percent from the original estimate of 0.5 percent annualized.

     Economy-wide inflation was revised up marginally to 2.4 percent annualized, compared to the original estimate of 2.3 percent and the first quarter rise of 2.5 percent.  The consensus forecast was for 2.3 percent.While GDP growth was revised down, the more important measure of momentum—final sales—were revised up slightly but are still sluggish.

     Durables orders show surprising strength:

     The timing could not have been better with increased concern about the health of the manufacturing sector. A monthly surge in new orders for motor vehicles & parts, the best in eight years, headlined a strong durable goods report for July. New orders for durable goods surged 4.0 percent in the month with the motor vehicle component up 11.5 percent in what appears to be the hoped for snapback from an earlier shortage of Japanese parts. Aircraft orders, which nearly always show wide month-to-month swings, rose 43 percent and together with motor vehicles made for a 14.6 percent jump in the transportation category.

     Excluding transportation, new orders rose a solid 0.7 percent following 0.6 and 0.8 percent gains in the two prior months.

    However, new orders for nondefense capital goods softened with a 1.5 percent dip in July, following gains of 0.6 percent and 1.9 percent in June and May, respectively.  Still, shipments of nondefense capital goods rose 0.2 percent in July, following a 1.9 percent boost in June and 1.7 percent jump in May.  July’s shipments are at a strong level, indicating a healthy gain in the third quarter for business equipment, exports or both.

    40% chance of Recession in us 2012

  • Stock Future
  • Expect 40% chance of dipping back into recession, since recovery is threatening to stall and become unsustainable to remain on the path to growth, says Vincent Reinhart, a former director of the Federal Reserve Board’s Division of Monetary Affairs and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research.

    "An economy expanding at a subpar rate is less resilient in the face of adverse shocks. That is, the country's economy is a plane flying slowly and close to the ground.
    The debt crisis in Europe is threatening to push the economy closer to the edge of recession.

    Meanwhile, banks are not lending that much in the United States, the country still remains scarred from the debt-ceiling impasse, housing prices are sagging and more political battles will arise over fiscal spending.

    Policy makers haven't prepared for this type of recovery, Reinhart says. "The risk is that the foundation for sustained expansion after that pain has not been set."

    Banks across the globe have been cutting growth forecasts for this year and next, but many stop short of making outright predictions for recessions.

    Economists at UBS are calling for 3.3 percent global gross domestic product growth in 2012, down from their earlier estimate of 3.8 percent, while Citigroup experts cut their forecast for next year to 3.2 percent from 3.7 percent, Citywire, a U.K. financial publishing group, reports.

    "Overall GDP growth in the major advanced economies already has been below average for three quarters, and growth is likely to remain sluggish in coming quarters,"



    The U.S. economy faces a risk of falling back into recession and the Federal Reserve might need to consider a new round of securities purchases to deal with it, even though it isn't in a strong position to address a slowdown, three former top officials at the central bank said.

    In an exclusive interview this week with The Wall Street Journal, Donald Kohn, Vincent Reinhart and Brian Madigan--the last three directors of the Fed's powerful monetary affairs division--put the risk of a new economic contraction at between 20% and 40%. Madigan and Kohn said the Fed should consider a third round of bond purchases only if inflation slows from recent elevated levels and if the economy continues to underperform. But they cautioned a new purchase program, dubbed QE3 for a third round of quantitative easing, wouldn't represent a cure-all.

    Madigan, who advises Barclays Capital and teaches at Georgetown University after retiring from the central bank a year ago, said the Fed's $600 billion bond purchases that ended in June had a "relatively modest" positive effect on the economy. "Purchases of that order of magnitude could be helpful at the margin," he said in his first public interview since leaving the key position at the Fed.

    Kohn was the most optimistic, saying the odds of a new recession following the severe downturn of 2008 and 2009 stood around 20%. Kohn, the Fed's No. 2 official until September 2010, said he still believes the economic slowdown in the first half was mainly due to temporary factors such as high food and gasoline prices and the impact of Japan's earthquake on the global supply chain. But even he is starting to lose faith in the idea that temporary factors are behind it.

    Fears that a new recession may be around the corner are hitting global financial markets. U.S. consumers cut spending in June at the fastest pace in nearly two years, raising concerns that the economy is stalling largely because of underlying weakness following the financial crisis, not one-off factors. Economists have started to downgrade their forecasts for faster growth in the second half, after gross domestic product rose by less than 1% in the first six months of the year.

    Kohn said the Fed still has some options to support the economy, but "they're kind of limited." He said he expects the central bank, which holds a policy meeting Aug. 9, to wait and see whether the recovery is really losing steam before taking any action. If that is the case--and inflation is coming down-- then he would give "very serious consideration" to a new round of bond purchases, he said.

    The ex-officials all cautioned a new purchase program wouldn't represent a cure-all, "but in those circumstances, I think it's up to the central bank to do what it can to help around the edges," said Kohn, now a scholar at the Brookings Institution.

    The bond purchases can help the economy by keeping borrowing rates, which are tied to U.S. Treasurys, low and by driving investors to riskier assets such as stocks. But the purchases have been attacked by Republicans at home and foreign government officials for fear they will spark runaway inflation and could lead the U.S. dollar to lose too much value.

    Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress last month that he is prepared to act if economic weakness persists. But he also has signaled that, in order to buy more bonds, the Fed must see a risk of deflation. Though there have been hints that consumer prices are cooling off, many measures of inflation remain above the Fed's informal target of close to 2.0%.

    The U.S. government's jobs report for July, to be released Friday, is expected to show the unemployment rate to have remained at a lofty 9.2%. Total nonfarm payrolls are forecast to have increased by only 75,000 last month, with continued layoffs seen in state and local governments.

    While relieved that a government default was avoided, the former Fed officials were critical of a deal approved by Congress on Tuesday that allows the government to borrow more now in exchange for budget-deficit cuts of as much as $2.4 trillion over the next decade.

    Reinhart, who said he gives Congress "a very low grade" like most Americans, believes the odds of a credit downgrade by rating companies haven't changed following the debt deal. Standard & Poor's was looking for 10-year budget cuts of $4.0 trillion to confirm the U.S.'s top-notch AAA rating.

    Anna Hazare breaks fast after 12 Days relived.

  • Stock Future
  • Anna Hazare ended his 12-day fast on Sunday morning before thousands of cheering supporters at Ramlila Maidan.

    The 74-year-old Gandhian accepted a glass of tender coconut water mixed with honey from a Dalit and a Muslim girl -- Simran and Ikrah -- at 10:20 am on the dais at the Ramlila Ground ending over 288 hours of fast that began on August 16.

    After a brief address, Hazare was driven straight to Medanta Medicity run by eminent cardiologist Dr Naresh Trehan who was attending to him along with his team during his entire period of fast. Hazare will stay in the hospital for two-three days.

    "I have only suspended my agitation. I will not rest until all the changes that I look to are achieved," he said to a thunderous applause from thousands of his supporters waving tricolour and shouting slogans like 'Anna Hazare Zindabad'.

    Flanked by his team members, including Shanti Bhushan, Prashant Bhushan, Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi and Manish Sisodia, Hazare said what has been achieved in Parliament yesterday is a victory of the people of India, democracy and those assembled in Ramlila Ground.

    Maintaining that People's Parliament is bigger than "Parliament in Delhi", Hazare said that is why the Parliament had to listen to people's Parliament.

    "This movement has created a faith that the country can be rid of corruption and we can go ahead with implementing laws and the Constitution made by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar," he said.

    Referring to Parliament's decision to refer three of his demands - Citizen's charter, inclusion of lower bureaucracy and creation of Lokayuktas through Lokpal bill - for Standing Committee's consideration, he said, the country can be proud of this moment. Thirteen days of agitation has yielded fruits, he said.
