India’s Foreign Trade
During April-Sept 2011, India's exports grew by 52% to
$ 160 bn from $ 105.2 bn in the same period last year.
Such growth in coming months is uncertain, given the
worsening global macroeconomic outlook and high
interest rate in the domestic market.
During April-Sept 2011, India's imports expanded by
32.4% to $ 233.5 billion. The trade deficit during the
April-Sept’ 2011 period stood at $ 73.5 billion.
Increasing Trade Deficit further depreciates Rupee.
The recent depreciation of rupee will also push up cost
of imports leading to wider trade deficit in coming times.
India’s Foreign Trade
India’s Economy Outlook
• Economy is expected to grow at 7%+ in 2011-12 lower than
previous estimate of 9%. All other indicators are pointing
downwards.
• Weak finances, persistently high inflation and policy inertia has
considerably weakened the government position.
• RBI raised Repo rate since 2010 from 4.75% to current level of
8.50% mainly to tame inflation even at the cost of short-term
growth.
• On the external front, exports may not be able to keep the
steady 25% growth in the coming months given the weak
external demand.
• Trade deficit USD 73.5 billion for HY 2011-12.
US Economy
 S&P downgrades US credit rating from AAA to
AA+ for the first time.
 Fed funds rates (0-0.25%) at exceptionally low
till mid-2013 acknowledging deterioration in
overall market conditions
 Fed affirmed its readiness to employ tools to help
US economy.
 Despite the downgrade any significant rise in the
borrowing costs in the US may not be there given
the dearth of liquid investment avenues.
Dollar is still considered safe heaven
Euro Zone fears rise
• The debt crisis in the peripheral European
economies have reached to the main economies.
• Though the Greek crisis was averted at the last
minute, the focus is now on the larger Italian and
Spanish economies.
• The borrowing costs of these two large economies
have already touched unsustainable levels forcing
the intervention from ECB.
• Italy and Greece have seen the regime change.
• The crisis is far from over and may take longer

capped at NOOPL
These measures may reduce volatility in the market
GOLD (XAU)
• Gold likely to benefit from the widespread Euro zone
uncertainties as well as fragile condition of US economy.
• Currently trading at around 10% discount to all time high of $
1920.30/ oz
• The volatility has gone up considerably. However, the medium
term price trend remains bullish.
• Physical demand in India is flat since Deewali due to record
high cost. It is likely to be robust again if price drops to
Rs.26000-27500 range
• Suggested to hedge exposure due to high volatility in price
both in USD terms as well as in USD/INR leg.
