GOLD
Gold
futures rose in the domestic market on Wednesday as investors and
speculators booked fresh positions in the precious metal as
escalating tensions in the Middle East amid US led airstrikes in
Syria against Islamic State militants boosted safe haven inflows into
the yellow metal. However, the gains in the bullion were curbed by
speculation of a rise in US borrowing costs after a top US Fed
official saw the case for a rate hike in early 2015, dimming the
appeal of the precious metal as a store of value. Gold futures for
October 2014 contract, at MCX, is trading at Rs. 26,699 per 10 grams,
up by 0.11 per cent, after opening at Rs. 26,672, against the
previous closing price of Rs 26,669. It touched an intra-day high of
Rs 26,712. (At 11:21 AM).

market and subdued demand at domestic spot markets, nickel prices

speculators trimmed positions.
At the Multi Commodity
Exchange, nickel for delivery in October traded Rs 2.70, or 0.26 per
cent, to Rs 1,052.60 per kg in a business turnover of 13 lots.
On the similar lines, the

1,058.80 per kg in one lot.
LEAD
Lead prices fell by 0.16 per
cent on Wednesday at the domestic markets due to the surge in the
lead stockpiles at the London Metal Exchange (LME) on account of the
weak demand for the commodity. LME lead stocks rose by 125 metric
tonnes to 225375 metric tonnes as on September 24, 2014. At the MCX,
Lead futures, for the September 2014 contract, is trading at Rs
125.60 per kg, down by 0.16 per cent, after opening at Rs 125.70,

AGRO OUTLOOK
The
National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange on Wednesday announced
the launch of forwards contracts on its national-level electronic
platform.
The
facility, named Agrim Sauda, will be available from Thursday,
initially for sugar and maize. It will be extended to other
commodities later.
The
forward contracts will offer the benefits of transparent trade
practices and national market reach through registered farmer
producer organisations.
The
introduction of Agrim Sauda is expected to help integrate the
commodity ecosystem leading to a more developed and efficient
agriculture market.
In
addition to farmers, Agrim Sauda will help almost every participant
in the segment, including processors, exporters, traders and
government procurement agencies.
This
may also make price predictability less onerous and is likely to
contribute in the development of storage infrastructure for traded
commodities in and around major producing and trading areas. With
this initiative, a buyer or a seller from one part of the country has
the benefit of being able to buy or sell any commodity in any part of
the country.
