RBI keeps rates unchanged; Cuts SLR from 25% to 24%

Reserve Bank of India (RBI),interest rates,repo,reverse repo,CRR,statutory liquidity ratio (SLR)

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has left all rates unaltered after six increases since March. Thus rates including repo, reverse repo, CRR stand unchanged at 6.25%, 5.25% and 6%, respectively.

Even though easing inflation has given the RBI enough room to leave interest rates on hold at its policy review, it has warned that the risk in its inflation outlook is to the upside and unveiled steps to address persistently tight liquidity.

The bank has cut the statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) from 25% to 24% with effect from December 18, 2010 to January 28, 2011. It would also conduct open market operation (OMO) auctions for purchase of government securities for an aggregate amount of Rs 48,000 crore in the next one month. These two measures are expected to inject liquidity on an enduring basis of the order of Rs 48,000 crore.

Commenting on its rational behind the move, the RBI stated that these measures will alleviate liquidity pressure in line with the policy and reduce liquidity deficit close to RBI’s comfort zone. While these measures have helped stabilise overnight interest rates, the extent of deficit could constrain banks’ ability to expand their balance sheets commensurate with the productive needs of the economy.

Popular micro-blogging web site Twitter has been valued at US$3.7bn after it raised US$200mn in new financing, which was led by one of the highest-profile Internet investors in Silicon Valley. According to one estimate, Twitter's annual revenue was currently under US$100mn.

The company was last valued at US$1bn in a funding round last year. Facebook, the world's No. 1 Internet social networking company, is valued at more than US$45bn in recent stock purchase transactions on the secondary market.

The San Francisco-based Twitter had raised US$160mn in four earlier funding rounds, from investors that included Spark Capital, Institutional Venture Partners and T. Rowe Price.Twitter’s newest round was led by venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and early investor in Internet giants such as Google, Amazon.com and others.

As part of the new funding round, Twitter has added two new board members - Flipboard CEO Mike McCue, and former Google executive David Rosenblatt. Twitter CEO Dick Costolo said on Wednesday that the company has added over 100 million new registered accounts in the past year, and now employs over 350 people.

The money will help Twitter expand the company, Costolo said in the company's corporate blog. Costolo replaced Twitter co-founder Evan Williams as CEO in October. Twitter had 175 million users as of September.

Twitter has been developing revenue models designed to cash in on its growing popularity among the marketers, advertisers, media professionals apart from celebrities, politicians and businesses. The company recently unveiled “Promoted Accounts,” a service aimed at drawing users to Twitter accounts operated by advertisers.

Twitter also has sealed deals with Google, Microsoft and Yahoo to have its short messages, or tweets, appear in these companies’ search results.

Indian stock market outlook for the week December 13 to 17, 2010

Market outlook for next week,indian stock market next week,December 13 to 17 market movement,Indian stock market view next/current week.

Indian stocks are undergoing a rather turbulent December with Sensex closing 800 points higher in one week and tumbling 450 points lower next week. The cut is even more deeper in BSE mid and small cap indices. The small-cap index can decline a little further and come to halt around 8000.

Sensex could not move above the resistance at 20,280 thus reiterating the negative bias in the short-term. Immediate targets of the current down-move are 18,954 and 18,886. Since these supports occur around the key medium term support zone around 19,000, investors can stay sanguine as long as the index does not record a strong close below 18,880.

Resilience at these levels will maintain a positive medium-term bias for the index and will retain the possibility of sideways move between 19,000 and 21,500 for few more weeks before an upward break-out to 23,031 or 24,098.

Gold price rises today for the fourth day

Gold price today,Bullion market,Commodity market Gold

Gold prices advanced in the international market for a fourth successive day on Thursday, as global investors sought protection in the precious metal amid lingering concerns over the eurozone sovereign debt crisis.

Fears of a possible escalation in the geopolitical tension on the Korea peninsula also prompted investors to rush to the safety and quality of the precious metal.

Spot gold gained 0.3% to US$1,391.38 an ounce at 11:57 a.m. in Tokyo after yesterday touching US$1,397.50, the highest price since Nov. 12. It has gained 27% this year, reaching a record US$1,424.60 an ounce on Nov. 9.

The bullion got a bit of a boost from news that China's gold imports jumped six-fold in January to October to more than 200 tons.

China’s gold imports in the first 10 months of this year jumped to 209 tons compared with 45 tons in all of 2009, the Shanghai Gold Exchange said.

US gold futures for February rose US$5.0 an ounce to at US$1,393.3 an ounce.

Bullion for immediate delivery advanced to a record 1,070.474 euros an ounce yesterday and an all-time high of 895.4353 British pounds.

The world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, SPDR Gold Trust, said that its holdings rose to 1,293.891 tons by Dec 1 from 1,286.603 tons on Nov 29. The holdings hit a record at 1,320.436 tons on June 29.

Worries about eurozone's sovereign debt crisis persist despite hopes that the European Central Bank (ECB) and the United States would step in to help resolve the deepening crisis.

The ECB is under pressure to unveil new steps to stabilise the eurozone when it meets on Thursday.

Investors have been focusing on Portugal and Spain after a financial rescue of Ireland failed to assure investors that the debt contagion has stopped worsening.

A US official is believed to have said that Washington would be ready to support the extension of the European Financial Stability Facility via an extra commitment of money from the IMF.

Separately, the Tokyo Shinbun said today that North Korea may attack Gyeonggi province, surrounding Seoul. The official made the remark last month after the shelling of South Korea’s Yeonpyeong island, the report said.

Silver for immediate delivery climbed 0.2% to US$28.5131 an ounce after touching US$28.8375 yesterday, the highest level since Nov. 9, when the price reached a 30-year high.

Palladium rose 0.5% to US$738.50 an ounce after jumping 5% yesterday.

Platinum advanced 0.4% to US$1,693.50 an ounce.
