Bullions shed close to a percent
A strong US dollar index takes away the shine Bullion metal prices ended lower on Tuesday, 14 May 2013. Comex gold prices ended the U.S. day session moderately lower Tuesday, on bearish outside market forces, a stronger U.S. dollar index and weaker crude oil prices. Gold for June delivery ended lower by $9.8 (0.7%) at $1,424.5 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange on Tuesday. July silver ended lower by $0.32 cents (1.3%) at $23.38 an ounce on Tuesday. The rallying U.S. and world stock markets continue to be a major bearish underlying factor for safe-haven gold, as well as other investment asset classes. As the U.S. and Japanese stock markets hit record or multi-year highs, they and other world stock markets continue to pull away investor monies from the other asset classes. The major central banks of the world continue to flaunt their easy-money policies, which have driven interest rates to extremely low levels for an extended period of time. It was an uneventful overnight trade in Asia and Europe Tuesday. Fresh economic data from Europe was mixed Tuesday. The German ZEW index for May came in at 36.4 versus 36.3 in April, but below expectations of 39.5. However, European Union industrial production rose 1.0% in March, the largest monthly increase in 1.5 years. Australia's government budget was released on Tuesday and it hinted further easing of that country's monetary policy is very possible. That news dropped the Aussie dollar to an 11-month low versus the greenback. Investors considered the possible curtailing of monetary-policy stimulus by the Fed. The central bank's easy monetary policy tends to raise the risk of inflation, as well as put pressure on the dollar. Gold is seen as a hedge against inflation and as a dollar-denominated commodity, can benefit from a weaker dollar. In the currency market, the dollar index, which weighs the strength of the dollar against a basket of six other currencies, rose by 0.3% on Tuesday. Among economic data expected at Wall Street on Tuesday, it was limited to export and import prices. Export prices, excluding agriculture, decreased by 0.5% in April after they had decreased 0.2% during the prior month. Excluding oil, import prices declined 0.2%, which follows last month's decline of 0.2%. At the MCX, gold prices for June delivery closed lower by Rs 147 (0.54%) at Rs 26,707 per ten grams. Prices rose to a high of Rs 26,918 per 10 grams and fell to a low of Rs 26,652 per 10 grams during the day's trading. At the MCX, silver prices for July delivery closed lower by Rs 602 (1.33%) at Rs 44,516/Kg. Prices opened at Rs 45,054/kg and fell to a low of Rs 44,152/Kg during the day's trading.

Reports of JDL IPO evinced great interest in primary market community as it is likely to change the parameters for primary market as well as grey market, opine seasoned observers. Just Dials database lists 9.0 mn businesses as of February 2013 (4.5 mn as of end-FY10), mostly MSMEs. New data is added and updated regularly by 314 employees. To expand its network in existing and new cities, it has appointed resellers to collect data from their respective territories. More than just the scale of its database, Just Dials ability to consistently keep it updated has been the reason for strong growth in usage of its search services. The company that postponed its IPO plans as it could garner the then needed funds from private equity partners and is now providing exit route to some of them and also to others via offer for sale of 17,497,458 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each by the Selling Shareholders. The listing of the Equity Shares will enhance its brand name and provide liquidity to the existing shareholders. Listing will also provide a public market for the Equity Shares in India. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer. In April 2010 the company has issued bonus shares in the ratio of 55 shares for every 1 share held and thereafter has done ESOP/placement at a price ranging between Rs. 10 and Rs. 4595 with a major chunk at a price of Rs. 488.66. Now the company is coming out with an offer for sale from existing shareholders for 17497458 equity share of Rs. 10 each with a price band of Rs. 470-543 to mobilize Rs. 822-950 crore based on lower and upper price band. Minimum application is to be made for 25 shares and in multiples thereof thereafter. Retail investors are offers Safety Net and also 10% upfront discount. Out of 17497458 shares on offer the company has reserved only 1749745 shares (i.e. just 10%) is kept for retail shareholders, 2624618 (15%) shares for HNIs and rest (75%) for QIBs . This is perhaps due to the mandatory safety net clause imposed by SEBI the company wants to reduce the Safety Net burden. Issue is rated as IPO 5 by CRISIL indicating strong fundamentals. While grading, CRISIL has put disclaimer that it does not mirror the issue pricing and the issue size was considered for 9,554,307 shares. The grade is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the graded instrument, its future market price or suitability for a particular investor. Citigroup Global Markets India Private Limited and Morgan Stanley India Company Private Limited are the joint BRLMs and Karvy Computershare Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. Shares will be listed on BSE and NSE. It appears that as promoters have to honor the Safety Net they too have opted for some dilution of stake to keep some buffer with them so that in the event of Safety Net clause application, it can pay from the buffer created and hence the issue size has more than doubles of its original plans and even higher than the CRISIL consideration. On the performance front, the company has posted an average EPS of Rs. 6.05 (on consolidated and fully diluted basis-with a CAGR of 40.2% in top and 135.1% in bottom-line respectively) and its NAV as on 31.12.2012 is Rs. 57.51. For the first 9 months of the fiscal 2012-13 it has clocked turnover of Rs. 271.61 crore with a net profit of Rs. 47.08 crore and as the equity capital post IPO remains the same due to offer for sale, this translates into an annualized EPS of Rs. 8.99 and thus the asking price is at a P/E of 52 to 60 and at a P/BV of 8.2 to 9.4 based on lower and upper price band. Thus issue is aggressively priced. The company has no listed peer for comparison. The company is now facing competition from Askme, Asklaila, Getit, Sulekha etc and hence the first mover gains made in the past may see diminishing pattern going forward. On BRLMs front, Citi Group and Morgan Stanley had mandate for 17 and 11 IPOs and out of them 4 IPOs failed to give listing gains to investors from both of them. Remark: Apply at the lower price band at Rs. 423 per share (with upfront 10% discount to retail investors) for a lot as applicable under safety net.
