Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan Quits, Sixth PM in Last 5 Years


The Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan announced today that he was stepping down after almost 15 months in office as his government's ratings plunged due to handling of nuclear crisis triggered by tsunami.

Kan appeared on national television to announce that he was resigning as the leader of the ruling Democratic Party, effectively ending his tenure as Prime Minister.

His exit paves the way for election of Japan's sixth Prime Minister in five years, as the country is struggling to come out from the devastation caused by March 11 earthquake which triggered a nuclear crisis.

"I resign as the party president effective today", Kyodo news agency quoted him as telling his party leaders. He was the first leader in Japan, not hailing from a well connected political family to don the premiership.

After taking office in June last year, the 64-year-old premier has struggled amid plunging ratings, a relentless power struggle within his party and a combative opposition controlling upper house stalling legislation.

Later he came under fire from his own party lawmakers for his perceived lack of leadership in dealing with the March disaster that claimed the lives of more than 15,000 people and triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis in 25 years.

The ruling Democratic party will vote on Monday to elect a new leader, who will become the next Prime Minister.

Former Foreign Minister Seiji Maehara is viewed as a frontrunner to replace Kan. Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda and Trade Minister Banri Kaieda may also enter the fray.

Goldman Sachs upgrades India to 'market weight' from 'underweight'

Goldman Sachs upgrades India to 'market weight'
Goldman Sachs on Monday upgraded India to "market weight" from "underweight," given a likely turn in the macro cycle, lower oil prices, lower valuation, and policy reform.
"The latest move by the RBI to raise the repo rate by 50 basis points was a clear sign in our view that the central bank is vigilant in bringing down inflation expectations," Goldman said in a note.
Despite the near-term weakness, policy tightening was a necessary step to reigning in inflation expectations and will ultimately serve as a net positive for the Indian equity market on a medium to longer term horizon, it added.
The Reserve Bank India (RBI), which has raised rates 11 times since mid-March 2010, is expected to be nearing the end of its tightening cycle.

Gold futures surge to record at Rs 25,978 per 10 grams on global cues

Gold surged to record high by adding Rs 536 to Rs 25,978 per 10 grams in futures trading today on buying by speculators, driven by a strong overseas trend, where investors sought safe haven following downgrading of the US credit rating.

The rising of gold to an all-time high of over $1,700 an ounce in the Asian region as equity markets tumbled worldwide, encouraging investors to park their funds in bullion, traders said.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, gold for April delivery spurted by Rs 536, or 2.10%, to Rs 25,978 per 10 grams, with a business volume of four lots. Similarly, the precious metal for February delivery rose by Rs 560, or 2.21%, to Rs 25,858 per 10 grams, with a business volume of 38 lots.
Traders said buying activity gathered momentum after gold climbed above $1,700 an ounce for the first time as Standard and Poor's cut the top US credit rating, fueling a slump in equities and the dollar amid concern that the global economy is slowing.

They added that speculators were largely picking gold rather than other metals in futures on expectations of better return.

Gold ETFs ( Exchange Traded Fund ) : What is it ? List of Gold ETF funds on BSE / NSE, Advantage of Gold ETFs


Gold ETFs are exchange traded funds offered by mutual funds that invest in gold bul­lion. Let us under­stand what an ETF is? An ETF is an Exchange Traded Fund that is traded on major stock exchanges like NSE or BSE. Gold ETFs are spe­cial types of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the prices of gold and invest in gold.


Gold Exchange Traded Funds (GETF) are the latest trend in investment strategies. These are known as GOLD ETFs. These ETFs primarily invest the money they have collected in the bullion market. Gold ETF first came into existence in India during the second quarter of 2007. Investors need DEMAT account and trading account to buy or sell these ETFs. The pattern is same as for stock trading. In India, there are about 11 Gold ETF companies listed on NSE and BSE and the number is raising year after year as investors are finding it more convenient. Following is the list of Gold ETFs in India and their symbols in NSE / BSE exchanges:

  • Axis Mutual Fund - Axis Gold ETF - Axisgold.
  • Benchmark Mutual Fund - Gold Benchmark Exchange Traded Scheme - Goldbees.
  • Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund - Birla Sun Life Gold ETF - Bslgoldetf.

With markets crashing, here's what should one do : Invest in Fixed Deposit, Gold.

With markets crashing, here's what should one do : Invest in Fixed Deposit, Gold.

Nifty and Sensex went up the hill, they took along the NASDAQ and Hang-seng too, then Greece and Obama’s problems started and they all came tumbling down!

Ironical, but the Jack and Jill poem seems to hold true for what’s happening in the financial markets around the world. Every market seems to be tumbling downwards.

So, what does all this hold in store for the common man.

The common Indian is already under pressure from rising inflation, investments giving poor returns and lower salary hikes too!

So what does an amateur investor do in the current scenario?

Stock markets
If you have just entered the market recently and aren't holding any blue-chip stocks, it would be a good thing to exit the market and wait for prices to stabilize.

All the indications are that things are not going to be rosy in the very near future.

And if you are not a seasoned investor, the current scenario can make you jittery. If you are mulling entering the stock market now, please wait for things to stabilise.

Commodity markets

Finance
All the indicators are pointing to a direction where Industrial production is showing a negative trend.

Even the Finance Ministry has said that the earlier projected growth rates of around 9% might be a distant possibility.

In such an environment it is better to shy away from the commodities market as they are directly affected by Industrial Production/Growth.

Derivatives
Finance
For a person entering the financial markets for the first time, it is difficult to even predict how stocks will behave.

Derivatives are always a challenge as even experts exercise a lot of caution while dealing with these complex instruments.

Given the traumatic market conditions and the hazy outlook across the globe with regards to the future and what it holds for the Global markets (the American Market and what's happening with the US debt situation has shocked every single expert worth his salt), the best course for an amateur investor is to stay away from the derivatives market.

Sell your dollars

Finance
This does not seem to be a great time to hold on to the US Dollar.

If you have the currency with you, try to sell it off as the exchange rates are indicating a weaker dollar in the coming future. Sell it now when you can get a better exchange rate.

Go for Gold

Finance
In the current situation there are at least two great investment options before you.

The first, of course, has to be gold: Buy Gold in the form of Coins/Bars and stay put. Gold has been historically considered to be a safe investment haven when all other investment products are seen to be failing. All the governments across the world are trying to increase their gold reserves as they have become wary of a weakening US Dollar.

This would mean that gold prices will rise even further.

Fixed Deposits
The other option is a fixed deposit.

They are also a great option now as RBI's high rate policy has ensured that banks are offering higher returns on these deposits.

And considering the strength of the Indian banking system, deposits are always a safe bet.

Mukesh Ambani's dream house 'Antilla' in trouble, CBI may investigate Wakf land sale


State might give Antilla to CBI

The CBI may investigate Wakf land sale to Mukesh Ambani if the state government gives its nod.

The Reliance Industries chairman has built a residential high rise 'Antilia' on the land on Mumbai's Altamount Road. 'Antilia' is said to be the world's most expensive home. "The state government could consider referring this matter to CBI," Maharashtra's minority affairs minster Arif Naseem Khan said quoting a Union government's letter in his written reply in the state assembly.
"The state sought law and judiciary department's opinion on the issue. The legal department in return has referred the issue to the home department on July 25, 2011.
Khan said the notice served on the trust in 2004 was withdrawn as the trust that ran an orphanage on the land paid the state a penalty of Rs 16 lakh to regularize the deal.
