What are the factors that influence gold prices in India?

It is extremely unlikely to come across someone who is not aware of the inherent value of gold, not only as a piece of jewellery or due to its auspiciousness, but as a strong asset which can possibly yield solid returns, especially in times of economic uncertainty. Owing to this fact, it becomes imperative for one to understand what really drives the prices of gold in India. In this article, we will try to understand the factors that influence the gold prices in India.

Let’s start with some basic but essential facts and figures. India happens to be one of the largest consumers of gold. The annual demand of gold in India is approximately equivalent to 25% of the global physical demand. This makes it all the more important to understand what determines the prices of gold here in India.

Relationship between gold prices and inflation

Let’s start with the relationship between gold prices and inflation, which is popularly phrased as “gold acts as a hedge against inflation”.

Inflation, simply put, is a decrease in the purchasing power of money which is reflected by a general increase in the prices of goods and services in an economy, and when inflation rates rise, the value of the currency decreases. Generally, inflation tends to be directly proportional to changes in the price of gold, which essentially means that higher levels of inflation will most likely result in high prices of gold due to the value of currency declining. This can be explained by the fact that people tend to hold wealth in the form of gold during inflationary periods, under the assumption that the value of gold remains stable in the long run as compared to that of currency, making it the most ideal hedge against inflation.

Impact of interest rates on gold prices

Generally, gold prices tend to have an inverse relationship with interest rates. The reason behind this can be possibly attributed to the fact that when interest rates fall, people don’t get desirable returns on any deposits they hold, and they believe that investing in gold would yield better returns, which leads to an increase in the demand for gold, and consequently an increase in its price as well. Conversely, when interest rates rise, people tend to sell their gold and instead put their money in deposits with the hopes of earning higher interest, which leads to a reduction in demand for gold, and consequently the price for it declines as well. However, historically, no direct correlation exists between gold prices and interest rates.

Impact of the Indian jewellery market on gold prices

One cannot ignore the impact of the Indian jewellery market on gold prices, owing to the cultural beliefs of the Indian population, so let’s try to understand the relationship between them.

All of us are aware of how integral gold is to Indian households, and even more so during the festive and wedding season. And, due to the increased consumer demand of gold in the festive season, prices go up. One interesting fact to note here is that according to a report by the World Gold Council (WGC) published back in 2019, Indian households have accumulated around 25,000 tonnes of gold collectively, which effectively makes India the largest holder of gold in the world.

Gold prices and Monsoon

Let’s now come to a rather interesting factor which impacts gold prices, which is a good monsoon season.

If we were to consider the numbers highlighted by reports, the rural segment of India accounts for approximately 60% of India’s consumption of gold jewellery, and annually India consumes about 700-800 metric tonnes of gold. These facts make rural gold demand a crucial factor in determining the overall demand for gold in India and consequently the prices of gold as well. The reason behind the correlation between good monsoon rains and gold prices is that a good monsoon season usually leads to good agricultural produce. This prompts farmers to spend a portion of their earnings in buying gold for a multitude of reasons and also as a safeguard if crops were to fail in subsequent harvesting seasons.

Impact of currency fluctuations and import duties on gold prices

Other than these factors, one should also consider the impact of currency fluctuations and import duties can have on gold prices. Since gold is traded in USD in international markets, any fluctuations in either USD or INR may impact gold prices in India. As an example, if INR were to weaken against USD, then chances are that the value of gold will increase in INR. India also imports a lot of gold, given the fact that it is one of the largest consumers of gold and 89% of the demand is fulfilled through import. Therefore, import duty also plays a vital role in determining gold prices in India.

Impact of geopolitical factors and uncertain outlooks on gold prices

As gold is considered to be a relatively safe investment by investors, the demand and subsequently the price of gold tends to increase during times of political instability, geopolitical turmoil or general economic slowdown. Other asset classes tend to witness a fall in their respective values during turbulent times which is generally not the case with gold, making it a suitable commodity to park funds during such times.

Impact of gold reserves on gold prices

Let’s finally come to the impact of government gold reserves on gold prices in India. The Reserve Bank of India along with the central banks of multiple other countries hold gold reserves along with currency. So, whenever such reserves start procuring more gold, the prices of gold tend to increase due to the resultant increase in the demand of gold.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we can say that gold is a rather important commodity, especially when it comes to the preferences and beliefs of the Indian subcontinent, and leadingly a multitude of factors like the ones we discussed, and some others as well have a considerable impact on gold prices in India.

What is FSB ? Fund’s Sentiment Beta.

Recent advances in Behavioural finance have shown that stock prices are affected by “Sentiment”.

When investor sentiment is high, the low-sentiment-beta stocks (i.e the stocks with negative loading on sentiment) are undervalued and their subsequent returns are higher. As per the white paper by Massimo Massa & Vijay Yadav, the low-sentiment-beta stocks significantly outperform the high-sentiment-beta stocks. This also suggest that an ideal trading strategy for asset manager interested in maximizing performance is to invest mostly in low-sentiment-beta stocks.

This strategy would definitely be more efficient if asset managers were not only able to identify the degree of sentiment loading of the stocks (i.e whether they are high- or low-sentiment-beta stocks) but also predict the degree of market sentiment.

News about the financial market can be found on news websites, social media, blogs, and forums. Automating the extraction of relevant data using web scrapers provides businesses with constant updates about the general population’s sentiment about specific products or brands, and enables financial leaders to predict the success or failure of certain stocks or ETFs in the market.

Additionally, some web scrapers integrate IP proxies to extract web data about specific geographical regions. This can be useful for businesses to analyze the financial market in a targeted region and optimize their financial strategies accordingly.

learnt about Prunes

Prunes are used in cooking both sweet and savory dishes. Stewed prunes, a compote, are a dessert. Prunes are a frequent ingredient in North African tagines. Perhaps the best-known gastronomic prunes are those of Agen (pruneaux d'Agen). Prunes are used frequently in Tzimmes, a traditional Jewish dish in which the principal ingredient is diced or sliced carrots; in the Nordic prune kisel, eaten with rice pudding in the Christmas dinner; and in the traditional Norwegian dessert fruit soup. Prunes have also been included in other holiday dishes, such as stuffing, cake, and to make sugar plums. Prune filled Danish pastries are popular primarily in New York and other parts of the U.S. East Coast. Prune ice cream is popular in the Dominican Republic. Prunes are also used to make juice.

want to write a lot.

Today i have discovered a app for posting blogs. Previously to post a blog i had to wait till i got back home. Open my laptop and check if internet is connected and then write and post. By that time i used to forget what i want to write. But now all it takes is to think. And then write and post. Anywhere about anything.
I love this smart phones. Read or write anything from anywhere.
I have also stayed back in office today to finish installation so that i can catch up wid other important stuff in obiee and project.
Sanjeev is showing off about his knowledge in obiee and project. I want to excel in obiee so much that he will give up competing wid me. Cuz i hate competitions. Gives me nasty feeling. Makes me sweat and gives me headache when i am high. And i am afraid of losing. Although i have lost so many times and so many things i am still afraid to lose. The reason might be the knowledge that i rarely lose when i am interested in stuff. But i know the world doesnt care abt my interest, all it looks at is the result. Likr my project manager told me once, "i dnt care what u did. Tell me whether u have completed or not?". To which i didn't reply positively. Its a different thing that work i was supposed to complete was never completed cuz it was not the best of approaches. But she did not listen when i told that.
It seems i have too many complains in my life. But tell me, who hasn't?
Basically, people who are misunderstood because of there distinctive thought process tend to write blogs or books or diary. I might not be right at all but it seems a gud justification.
I wanted to leave office, realised i had bike. Can leave anytime i want. Awesome. Isn,t it?
Enough for now i presume.
At the end of the day, whenever i think and eventually dream of something. I end up being a hero or a poet or something great in my thoughts and dreams. But i have no deeds to support my dreams. So now the question is should i stop dreaming or start acting?

Well acting upon dreams is not my thing. So i will stop dreaming.

understood something about Cuban Missile crisis.

How Castro Held the World Hostage

By JAMES G. BLIGHT and JANET M. LANG

Published: October 25, 2012

ON Oct. 26-27, 1962, human civilization came close to being destroyed. Schoolchildren were ordered into shelters; supermarket shelves were emptied of soup cans and bottled water. It was the most perilous moment of the Cuban missile crisis, and of the cold war. But the danger of Armageddon did not begin, as legend has it, when the United States learned that Soviet missiles had reached Cuba’s shores earlier that month.

Rather, it was driven by Fidel Castro’s fears and insecurities after the botched Bay of Pigs invasion and by the failures of President John F. Kennedy and Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev to take him seriously. With Soviet missiles stationed on the island and America poised to attack, Cuba 50 years ago was far more dangerous than Iran or North Korea is today. But the 1962 crisis shows that a small, determined revolutionary state, backed into a corner and convinced of its inevitable demise, can bring the world to the brink of catastrophe.

Twenty years ago, we spent four days in Havana discussing the missile crisis with Mr. Castro, former Soviet officials and American decision makers from the Kennedy administration, including the former defense secretary Robert S. McNamara.

Mr. Castro’s interest had been piqued by the declassification and release of Soviet and American documents in 1991 and 1992, which both surprised and angered him. These included long-suppressed passages from memoirs, released 20 years after Khrushchev’s death, in which he wrote that Mr. Castro had become irrational and possibly suicidal and that the crisis had to end before Cuba ignited a nuclear war.

In addition, declassified letters between Khrushchev and Kennedy revealed the extent to which Washington and Moscow cut Cuba out of negotiations, refused to consider Cuban demands and eventually resolved the crisis in spite of Mr. Castro’s objections. So to truly understand how the world came close to Armageddon, one must look not to Washington and Moscow but to Havana.

•

After the American-sponsored Bay of Pigs debacle, Fidel Castro, then just 35 but already Cuba’s unquestioned ruler, drew an astonishing conclusion. “The result of aggression against Cuba will be the start of a conflagration of incalculable consequences, and they will be affected too,” he told the Cuban people. “It will no longer be a matter of them feasting on us. They will get as good as they give.”

For the next 18 months, Mr. Castro prepared for nuclear Armageddon, while Kennedy and Khrushchev sleepwalked toward the abyss. Focused on their global competition, the United States and the Soviet Union were clueless about the mind-set of the smaller, weaker, poorer party. Kennedy wanted Cuba off his agenda and he resolved never again to cave in to his hawkish advisers and critics, who had continued clamoring for an invasion of the island, even after the Bay of Pigs disaster.

Khrushchev, for his part, was worried about “losing Cuba” and decided in early 1962 to offer nuclear missiles to Mr. Castro to deter the invasion they both believed was being planned but that Kennedy was privately resolved to avoid. But as Khrushchev wrote in his memoirs, the Soviet Union never intended to actually use the missiles; they were merely pawns in a game of superpower competition.

However, Mr. Castro believed the fundamental purpose of Soviet nuclear weapons was to destroy the United States in the event of an invasion. After centuries of humiliation and irrelevance, he concluded, Cuba would matter fundamentally to the fate of humanity. Cuba couldn’t prevent the onslaught, nor could it expect to survive it. He insisted that the Cubans and Russians on the island would resist “to the last day and the last man, woman or child capable of holding a weapon.”

Around noon on Oct. 26, Mr. Castro summoned the Soviet ambassador, Aleksandr Alekseev, to his command post. Mr. Castro couldn’t understand why Soviet troops in Cuba were sitting on their hands while American planes were flying over the island with impunity. He urged them to start shooting at U-2 spy planes with surface-to-air missiles and suggested that Cuban troops should begin firing on low-flying planes with antiaircraft guns, contrary to Soviet wishes. Alekseev promised to relay Mr. Castro’s complaints to the Kremlin. Alekseev later told us he felt “almost schizophrenic” when he sent the cables to Moscow, because it was his duty to represent the cautious Soviet position, yet he himself, like Mr. Castro, expected an American onslaught. At that moment, “I was almost 100 percent Cuban,” he recalled.

While Cuba was preparing for nuclear war, Khrushchev and Kennedy were, unbeknown to Mr. Castro, moving toward a peaceful resolution of the crisis. Terrified that a catastrophic war might break out, Khrushchev took the initiative even as Kennedy was preparing an offer of his own. He wrote to Kennedy on Oct. 26: “Let us then display statesmenlike wisdom. I propose: we, for our part, will declare that our ships bound for Cuba are not carrying any armaments. You will declare that the United States will not invade Cuba with its troops and will not support any other forces which might intend to invade Cuba. Then the necessity for the presence of our military specialists in Cuba will be obviated.” It would take another three agonizing weeks to work out the details, but Kennedy and Khrushchev had finally locked onto a common wavelength.

All these letters (except those delivered over the radio at the peak of the crisis) were methodically dictated, translated, encrypted and then transmitted. Such slow communication in a time of crisis seems inconceivable today, but at the heart of the cold war absolute secrecy was the objective, not speed. (It was only after the missile crisis that the “red phone” hot line between the White House and the Kremlin was installed.)

Unaware of Kennedy’s and Khrushchev’s progress toward a deal, at 2 a.m. on Oct. 27, Mr. Castro decided to write to Khrushchev, encouraging him to use his nuclear weapons to destroy the United States in the event of an invasion. At 3 a.m., he arrived at the Soviet Embassy and told Alekseev that they should go into the bunker beneath the embassy because an attack was imminent. According to declassified Soviet cables, a groggy but sympathetic Alekseev agreed, and soon they were set up underground with Castro dictating and aides transcribing and translating a letter.

Mr. Castro became frustrated, uncertain about what to say. After nine drafts, with the sun rising, Alekseev finally confronted Mr. Castro: are you asking Comrade Khrushchev to deliver a nuclear strike on the United States? Mr. Castro told him, “If they attack Cuba, we should wipe them off the face of the earth!” Alekseev was shocked, but he dutifully assisted Mr. Castro in fine-tuning the 10th and final draft of the letter.

From his bunker, Mr. Castro wrote that, in the event of an American invasion, “the danger that that aggressive policy poses for humanity is so great that following that event the Soviet Union must never allow the circumstances in which the imperialists could launch the first nuclear strike against it.” An invasion, he added, “would be the moment to eliminate such danger forever through an act of clear, legitimate defense however harsh and terrible the solution would be, for there is no other.” Mr. Castro was calm as he composed this last will and testament for the 6.5 million citizens of Cuba, and the 43,000 Russians on the island who would be incinerated alongside them.

According to his son and biographer, Sergei Khrushchev, the Soviet premier received that letter in the midst of a tense leadership meeting and shouted, “This is insane; Fidel wants to drag us into the grave with him!” Khrushchev hadn’t understood that Mr. Castro believed that Cuba was doomed, that war was inevitable, and that the Soviets should transform Cuba from a mere victim into a martyr.

By ignoring Mr. Castro’s messianic martyrdom, both Kennedy and Khrushchev inadvertently pushed the world close to Armageddon.

•

The parallels between the Cuban missile crisis and today’s nuclear standoff with Iran are inexact, but eerie. Cuba then and Iran now share a revolutionary mind-set, a belief that Washington’s goal is regime change, and a conviction that nuclear weapons might guarantee their survival in the face of unrelenting American hostility. The third player in today’s crisis is not a superpower but Israel, which views a nuclear Iran as an unacceptable threat to its existence. Israel shares with Iran (and 1960s Cuba) a national narrative that is steeped in the glorification of military heroism in the face of potential defeat.

Whoever wins the presidential election must persuade the Israelis to restrain themselves. Iran’s leaders are rational, and Israel’s overwhelming nuclear superiority means that Israel need not fear Iran. America must convince Iran that it doesn’t need nuclear weapons, because it has nothing to fear from Israel or the United States. The American president must do what even Kennedy and Khrushchev could not: treat a lesser power as an equal and pay attention to its fears.

Ignoring Cuba’s insecurities 50 years ago pushed the world to the brink of catastrophe. Today we must be wary of backing the Iranians into a corner so that they feel they must choose between capitulation and martyrdom. In 1962, the Soviets just barely stopped the Cubans; this time, there is no Khrushchev.

Half way through the book, something tells me we need more translation of indian mythology. Not mere translation but logical reasoning should be present in the books. The most unattractive trait of indian mytholgy is "Not being reasonable". Many a times there are valid facts mentioned in old mythological books but with a explanation that "the Lord told so". This has to change.

came across this post about setting up dual monitor

Dual monitor setup: Two monitors are better than one

You can never have enough screen space. Instead of buying a larger computer monitor, you can buy an inexpensive second monitor or make use of a spare one and connect it to your computer (if you're using Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP)—instantly doubling your desktop space.

Dual monitor setup checklist

There’s a good chance you already have everything you need to set up your second monitor.

Click here to view the checklist.

If you need more detail about the necessary equipment, you'll find it in the Know your equipment section.

• Two monitors (one, if you’re setting up a laptop), which may be flat-panel LCD monitors or CRT monitors or one of each—it doesn’t matter. You can even use a TV screen as a monitor. If you’re going to buy a monitor, there are many points to consider in addition to the price. For example, picture quality, screen size, screen resolution, compatibility with your computer port, higher contrast ratio, and richness of color are some of the most important factors.
  Although we refer to two monitors in this article, you can use more than two as long as you have the connectors available on your computer.
• Two monitor cables to connect the monitors to the computer (one for a laptop). These need to match the connection types available on your computer.
• A monitor connection on your computer for each monitor you want to connect. These may be Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connectors, Video Graphics Array (VGA) connectors, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) connectors, or S-Video connectors for using your TV as a monitor. The connections will need to match the monitor cables. These ports connect to video cards in your computer. They are usually located on the back of your desktop computer and on the side or back of your laptop computer.
• If you don’t have the connectors you need for your monitors, you can install a video adapter to change the connector type, or, if you’re using a desktop computer, you can replace your video card or install additional cards. This involves opening your computer, so you may want to seek assistance from a local computer retailer or watch this video for help to do it yourself.

How to set up your second monitor

Connect the monitor cables

When you’re ready to connect the monitor cable to the connector on your computer, make sure the monitor is plugged in and turned on. Your computer should automatically detect the second monitor, although you may have to restart your computer first. If you’re using Windows XP, you’ll need to enable Dualview.
When your computer detects the monitor, it should also automatically detect and apply the display settings appropriate for the monitor.

Configure your displays

You may want to adjust display settings yourself, as described in the following articles.

• Windows 7
• Windows Vista
• Windows XP

The settings shown here are for Windows 7, but they are basically the same as those available for Windows Vista and Windows XP. If necessary, you can drag the monitor icons so that they are arranged in the same way as the monitors on your desk. Click Identify to verify which monitor is 1 and which monitor is 2. You’ll see the numbers appear on your monitors.
Under Multiple displays, you can also adjust what you see on the second monitor. You have the following choices:

• Extend your displays. This spreads your desktop over both monitors and lets you drag items between the two screens. This is how most people use two monitors, and it's the default setting for desktop computers. After your monitor is set up, you can use your mouse to grab the title bar (the top portion) of a window and drag it to your new display. If a window does not move when you drag it, double-click the title bar first, and then drag it.
  
• Duplicate your displays. This displays the same desktop on both monitors. For a laptop, this is the default setting. This is useful if you're giving a presentation with your laptop connected to a projector or large monitor.
  
• Show your desktop on only one monitor. This is most commonly used with a laptop if you want to keep your laptop screen blank after you connect to a large desktop monitor.
  

When you disconnect the additional monitor, the original display settings are restored to your primary display. In addition, all open files and program windows are moved to the primary display. The next time that you connect the same monitor, the Windows operating system automatically applies the display settings that you used the last time that you connected this monitor.
Troubleshooting: Normally, the process of setting up and using a second monitor is seamless and automatic. However, because it involves hardware and software from multiple sources, you may need to troubleshoot problems and make adjustments. For example, if your computer fails to detect the second monitor, first make sure it’s plugged in and turned on, and then, in the display settings, click Detect. Or your computer might not support multiple displays. Visit Microsoft Update, click Custom, and install any available hardware updates. You may also need to visit your computer manufacturer's website to install an updated display driver. Or you may need to install an additional display adapter. Read this troubleshooting article for Windows Vista which also includes tips that pertain to other versions of Windows.
You’ll find that having two monitors can forever change the way you work with your computer. Be creative and experiment with the sizing of application windows and what information you can keep in constant view while doing multiple tasks. If you’re looking for more ideas on what to do with all of the extra viewing space you will have, read the article, Work and play better with multiple monitors.
