Deutsche Bank dour over gold investment in India

A shift away from physical to financial savings through bank deposits, mutual funds and insurance is gathering steam says Deutsche Bank.

September 19, 2014--The going is good for India. With crude prices retreating to 17 months low of 97 per barrel from $105 per barrel in mid June, and coal prices falling to 5 year lows, and gold prices having stuck to a seven and a half month low, the Indian economy seems poised for multi layered benefits,

Deutsche Bank has said in a report.

India's vicious economic cycle, between 2010-2013 of slowing growth, elevated twin deficits and a skewed savings profile was amplified by surging global oil and gold prices, both of which are now in retreat, the report added.

IMF Working paper-Is Japan's Population Aging Deflationary?

August 4, 2014--Summary: Japan has the most rapidly aging population in the world. This affects growth and fiscal sustainability, but the potential impact on inflation has been studied less.

We use the IMF's Global Integrated Fiscal and Monetary Model (GIMF) and find substantial deflationary pressures from aging, mainly from declining growth and falling land prices. Dissaving by the elderly makes matters worse as it leads to real exchange rate appreciation from the repatriation of foreign assets. The deflationary effects from aging are magnified by the large fiscal consolidation need. Many of these factors will beset other advanced countries as well, but we find that deflation risk from aging is not inevitable as ambitious structural reforms and an aggressive monetary policy reaction can provide the offset.

IMF Survey: China Would Benefit from Slower but Safer Growth

Successful implementation of comprehensive reform agenda will secure more balanced, sustainable growth
Slower credit and investment growth are required to contain risks
Slower but safer growth path is good for China and the world
July 31, 2014-- After three decades of remarkable growth, China's economy has been slowing.

The country needs to implement the announced reform agenda and address vulnerabilities to secure a safer development path, said the IMF.

China's growth was 7.7 percent in 2013 and is expected to be around 7½ percent in 2014, in line with the government’s target, the IMF said in its most recent report on the state of the Chinese economy. Much of China's slowdown has been structural, reflecting the natural growth convergence, but weak global growth has also contributed.

Indian rupee slumps to 3-mth low on dollar buying by state-run banks

Rupee ends at 60.55/56 per dlr vs 60.06/07
All eyes on RBI policy review for possible cues
Dollar expected to trade strong vs. global majors in near term
July 31, 2014--The Indian rupee slumped to a three-month low on Thursday, hurt by a rally in the dollar in global markets that helped spur state-run banks into buying greenbacks for corporate-and defence-related payments.

The partially convertible rupee fell to as low as 60.57 per dollar at one point, its lowest since April 29, when the currency was in the midst of a rally in the lead-up to the general elections.
