Gold's roller coaster ride
The move sparked the latest round of volatility in gold, which has since traded in a more than $100 range. Seeing the gold price lurch down or up $50 in as many minutes has become a fairly regular feature of the market over the last few weeks.
"I think the market will go higher, but a $100+ correction cannot be ruled out, especially if the dollar decides to strengthen even further," said Saxo Bank senior manager Ole Hansen. "A pretty strong stomach might be required short-term."
Financial markets around the world have been subjected to extreme price movements as investors grow increasingly unnerved by the ability of Eurozone leaders to solve the regional debt crisis that has engulfed Greece, Portugal and Ireland and now threatens Italy and Spain.
RBI hikes policy rates by 25 bps...Maintains hawkish stance
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) raised the key policy rates - the repo rate and the reverse repo rate - by a quarter percentage point, as it persists with its efforts to tame the inflation beast despite signs of moderation in economic growth. So, the repo rate now stands at 8.25% and the reverse repo rate now stands at 7.25%. There has been no change in the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR), which stands at 6%. The bank rate has been retained at 6%. The Marginal Standing Facility (MSF) rate, determined with a spread of 100 bps above the repo rate, stands recalibrated at 9.25% with immediate effect. The policy action in this review is expected to reinforce the impact of past policy actions to contain inflation and anchor inflationary expectations, the RBI said in a statement.

With Q2 September 2011 drawing towards a close, focus may shift to expectations of Q2 results of individual firms.

The tax collections are not uniformly good or bad across companies and sectors, except for oil marketing companies, which saw a decline in levies paid.
