Players in the market:

Hedgers- A hedger is a one who takes steps to reduce the risk by offsetting the investment.

Hedging strategies are used by the hedger to reduce the risk. Hedgers may reduce the risk but in

doing so, they can reduce the profit potential. Their main objective is to protect the profit and

limit the expenses.

For Instance- A cereal manufacturer wants to hedge against wheat price rising by buying a futures

contract that promises delivery of July wheat at a specified price.

Speculators-A speculators are the people who trade derivatives, commodities, bonds, equities or

currencies with a more risk in return for a higher than the average profit. Speculators take large

risks, to earn the higher profits. Speculators are typically sophisticated risk-taking investors as

9
they have expertise in the markets in which they are trading in; they use investments

like futures and options. These investors are call speculators because of their ability to predict

price changes. Normally, speculators do not operate for a short time period as the traditional

investors. For instance: An investor who is investing by seeing the bearish trend with a prediction

or expectation of an increase in trend in near future. This unpredictable and risky investment is

what a speculator does.

Arbitragers- An arbitrager is a attempting to profit from price differences in the market. These

people buy from one market and sell it to the other with the higher price range. They make the

risk-free profits.

For example, searching for the stocks registered in different markets, then buying the stock from
the market where the stock price is less and selling it to the other market where the stock price is

more than the buying price.

IMPACT OF THE INDUSTRY ON INDIAN ECONOMY

The movements in the stock market has a profound impact on the economy and the everyday

people. If there is a collapse in share prices, it leads to the widespread of economic disruption.

1930s.

14
Economic effects of stock market

1. Wealth Effect- If the people lost their money on shares, they will be more resistant to spend

money, this will contribute to fall in consumer spending. Often, this effect will not be given too

much importance. However, people who buy shares are prepared to lose their money, their

spending patterns are usually independent of the shares prices.

2. Investment- Falling of the share prices may hamper the firm ability to raise finance on

the stock market. Firms who are expanding wish to borrow money by issuing more shares,

which provides them a low cost way of borrowing more money. However, it becomes more

difficult with the falling of the share prices.

3. Bond Market- A fall in the stock market may lead to other investments more attractive. People

can move out of shares and can invest into government bonds or gold.

Effect of Stock Market on the Ordinary people

1. Effect on Pensions- People with the private pension or investment trust will be affected with

the fall in the fall in the share prices of the stock market indirectly, as it will reduce the value of

the pension funds. Thus, future pension layouts will be lower.

2. Business Investment- It could be the source of business investment i.e firms can offer new

shares to finance investment which could create new job offers.

Review of Literature

In the study, Apak, Akman, Cankaya and Sonmezer, (2012), it includes the major exporters and

importers to explain the price fluctuations in the gold prices. India, China, Turkey, Russia, USA,

Indonesia, Switzerland, UK and Euro zone countries are the top gold demanding countries. On

the other hand, China, Australia, USA, South Africa, Russia, Canada and Indonesia are the top

Canadian Dollar influences the Gold positively or negatively.

Tully and Lucey, (2007), scrutinize the relationship between the gold price and the US Dollar.

Their study indicates that the datasets which is being used in the analysis for various economic

variables spanning from 1983 to 2001. The study also confirms that there are few macroeconomic

factors that may impact the gold prices, the exchange rate of domestic currency to US Dollar.

In another study ,Capie, Mills and Woods, (2004) used weekly data for last thirty days for the

spot gold price of gold to USD to analyze that up to what extent gold be acted as a hedge.This

study concluded that the relationship between Gold and USD is inelastic and negative. But, this

also can be shifted over time. The yellow metal is basically dependent on the political events and

uncertainties

India is largest importing nation of precious metal with the main consumption for jewellery.

Dollar is important to look upon when we are talking of gold prices. They have an inverse

correlations with each other i.e. the price of dollar is increase the price of gold is decrease and

vice-versa. The gold price increases at the time of recession and economic prosperity.

GOLD -0.3562776 1.00 0.8944292

SILVER -0.2615521 0.8944292 1.00

Interpretation
This shows that there is an inverse relationship between Gold and USD, Silver and USD and a
positive relationship between Gold and Silver due to macroeconomic factors such as political

events and uncertainties at that span of time i.e from October 2016- March 2017. By calculating

the correlation of Gold and USD of last 5 years we get the value of -10.812 (5 years weekly data).
Thus we can say that the correlation is more in 6 months data due to the increased demand in third
quarter.

Interpretation

Reserve Bank of India holds a gold reserve of 557.77 tones, out of which 265.49 is held in the

safe custody with Bank of England and Bank of Settlement (BIS). Gold, Gold Jewellery will be

taxed 3% against the current effective price of 2%. The higher tax would make Jewellery

buying costlier, thus the move to levy the higher tax will benefit more to larger player in the

organized structure. The reason why jewelers are not restocking the gold because number of

jewelers have illegal stocks which they had to liquidate before the GST rolls out. It is said that

excise of 1 per cent paid on the stock is non-cenvatable. This is the reason why gold is available

at a discount in the local market.

The gold demand in India is 674 tones in 2016. Even if the GST rates fixed at a lower rate, the

gold demand in India will be range from 650- 750 tones.The current tax on gold is around 12 %

which includes customs duty, excise duty and VAT. The council is of the opinion that the GST

rate should be below that as it will bring about a behavioral change among the consumers.

Despite of the gold showing 15% growth in Q1. It is assumed that it will remain to grow in the

second quarter due to good Akshay Trithiya sales. Kerala has recommended 5% GST on gold.

The rate has not yet been decided for the exchange of old gold to new gold. If there will be a low

GST rate then it will bring down the prices and if it is high then industry may take more time to

adjust it.

Fundamental Facts

6.1 EFFECT OF SUBPRIME CRISES ON GOLD

Subprime crises are the crises which was started in 2008 and had affected the mortgage industry

because of the borrowers being approved for the loan which they cant afford. Thus, a rise in

foreclosures led to the collapse of many lending institutions. These crises affected the global credit

market leading to higher interest rates as well as decreased the availability of credit. The Gold

prices started rose in 2009, but this stage of gold to rise was started in 2008. At the time Gold was

being sold as the investors sought to fund so as to shore up their losses from the other markets.

The above chart shows that the gold fell at $681 on 24. October 2008 and settle on $729.10 At

December 2008, the monetary policy meeting was held to stabilize the market as well as the

economy. First it voted to reduce the Federal funds target from 0%-0.25%, Second, they decided

to buy $600 billion in agency debt and agency mortgage backed securities.

Thus, it was a start to a big inflation period.

In this, Gold was traded above $1000 level whereas Comex Gold Futures settles at $1096.20 an

ounce on 31 December, 2009 a 24% rise from December 2008, where the price was $884.30

6.2 IMPACT OF US NON- FARM EMPLOYMENT PAYROLL ON GOLD

Non farm payroll is connected to the people who are engaged in the activity other than farming. It

measures the change in the number of people employed in the previous month compared to the

current month. Higher payrolls leads to negative impact on precious metals (Gold and Silver)

while positive impact on base metals. On the other hand, lower payrolls leads to positive impact

on precious metals and a negative impact to base metals. affects the US dollar, the Foreign

exchange market, the bond market, and the stock market. The nonfarm payroll statistic is released

monthly, on the first Friday of the month, by the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics as part of the

Employment Situation Report on the state of the labour market.Nonfarm payrolls are also closely

watched by the Fed, as it is an indicator of how quick the economy is growing There is no clear

long-term relationship between the gold price and job gains. Employment statistics move the

price of gold in the short-term. Good news from the labor market is negative for the shiny metal.

In such a case, the price of gold tends to fall on the day when the Nonfarm Payroll Report comes

out.Spot gold had dropped 0.2 per cent to $1,262.95 per ounce by 0054 GMT. It has fallen0.3 per

cent for the week and could register its first weekly decline in four weeks. U.S. gold futures fell

0.4 per cent to $1,265.60 an ounce.

6.3 IMPACT OF FED INTEREST RATE HIKE ON GOLD

U.S central bank increase their quarter short term rates by 1- 1.25%. These interest rate hikes

will boost up the dollar and will also boost up the bond yields up which will lead put pressure on

gold price. Thus this interest rate hike would make it less attractive to hold non- yielding bullion,

while dollar boosting up.

Technical Analysis

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

STOCHASTIC OSCILLATOR
The stochastic oscillator is a momentum indicator that compares the closing price of a security to

the range of its prices over a certain period of time. The sensitivity of the oscillator to market

movements is reducible by adjustment of the time period or by taking a average by moving

average method of the result.

Blue line= K%

Red line= R%

If blue line cuts the red line from below it indicates the upward trend in the price. But if the red

line cuts the blue line towards down it will be showing the downward trend in the price in the near

future.

45
RSI (RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX)

The relative strength index (RSI) is a technical indicator used to analyze the financial markets.

It is used to figure out the current and historical strength or weakness of a stock or the closing

prices of a recent trading period.

The RSI is classified as a momentum oscillator because it is used to measure the velocity and
magnitude of directional price movements where, Momentum is the rate at which the price rise or

fall.

The RSI is mostly used on a 14-day timeframe, with the measurement scale of range 0 to 100, with

high and low levels marked at 70 and 30 respectively. Shorter or longer timeframes are used for

alternately shorter or longer predictions according to a persons need. Extreme high and low

levels80 and 20, or 90 and 10occur less frequently indicating the stronger momentum.

46
MOVING AVERAGE MA

A widely used indicator in technical analysis because it helps to smooth out the price action by

filtering out the noise from uneven price fluctuations. A moving average (MA) is a trend-

following indicator as it is based on past prices.

The two basic and commonly used MAs are:

1) the simple moving average (SMA), and

2) the Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

47
TREND ANALYSIS

Source*investing.com
INTERPRETATION

Moving Average: The moving average line is showing the downward trend as the line is above

the candles and is moving downwards. This shows the downward prediction in the gold trend.

Stochastic: Blue line shows the K% whereas red line shows the R%. Since both the lines are

moving downwards this also shows the downward trend but until the blue line cuts the red line and

moves upward. Also this trend is showing the over selling situation as this is below the 20. We

will be making strategies at this point and will buy once the line again cuts the 20 level from below

and starts rising.

RSI: Although RSI trend line is also showing the downward trend but there is no over selling or

over buying of the commodity.

By these three we can only predict the downward trend in this commodity.

48
PATTERNS

CONSOLIDATION

Consolidation is used in technical analysis to describe the movement of a stock's price within a

defined range of price. Consolidation is generally regarded as a period where decision cannot be

taken, which starts and ends when the price of the asset moves above or below the prices in the

definite pattern. Consolidation pattern is also defined as a set of financial statements that

represents a parent company and a subsidiary company as one.

Source*Ticker plant software

Target Amount= Highest price-lowest price (in the consolidation range)

Stop loss= Target Amount/2

49
DOUBLE BOTTOM

A double bottom is a charting pattern which used in technical analysis. It is used to describe the

drop of a stock or index, another drop to the similar level as the previous drop, and finally the

other bound. The double bottom looks like the alphabet "W". The lower touch is marked as the

support level.

Source*tradingview.com
Target Amount= Price at Resistance Price at support

Stop Loss= Support Price

For instance: In the above figure we can calculate the target amount and stop loss as:

Target amount=81538.4 - 80948.7= 589.7

Stop loss = 80948.7

With this we can say that we can get a maximum profit of the target amount i.e. Rs.589.7 and will

sell the stock when the price will reach Rs. 80948.7 i.e. we will not bear the loss more than stop

loss.

50
Rectangle

Source*tradingview.com

Interpretation
Where, target amount = upper range of rectangle lower range of rectangle
Stop loss= target amount/2
It can indicate both bearish and bullish trend depending on the breakout of the pattern. In this figure
it is showing the bearish trend as the break out is when the prices are following the downturn.
For instance: upper range of rectangle is indicating the price i.e. $1697.74 and
The lower range is $1632.78.
Target amount = 1697.74 1632.78 = 64.96
Stop loss = 32.48
Here we will not bear the loss of more than $ 32.48 and will set the target up so that we can earn
the profit of $ 64.96.

Findings, Recommendations and Conclusion

FINDINGS
Present project has been undertaken to find out the relationship between Gold and Dollar, Silver

and Gold. It has been found out by calculating the previous prices of Gold and Dollar.

Correlation

Negative Correlation between Gold- USD (-0.356278)

When the values of the correlation change in the opposite direction, there is a negative correlation.

Both the prices are moving in an opposite direction i.e. when gold price is decreasing USD is

increasing and vice versa. There is a negative correlation between Gold and USD prices.

Positive Correlation between Gold- Silver (0.8944292)

When the values of the correlation change in the same direction, there is a positive correlation.

Both the prices are moving in an same direction i.e. when gold price is increasing silver prices

also increasing and vice versa. There is a negative correlation between Gold and Silver prices.

Regression

Regression 0.8 gold silver

This indicates that Gold is 80% dependent on silver prices. So, there is a relationship between

Gold and Silver prices.

58
Regression 0.1269 gold- usd

This indicates that there is less dependency of Gold on dollar prices. So, there is negative, inelastic

relationship between Gold and USD prices.

Standard Deviation(1029.922)

It has been find out that in the span of October 2016- March 2017 there is a high volatility in the

movement of Gold prices due to event took place such as AKSHAYTRITIYA. Therefore, the

standard deviation is positive.

RECOMMENDATIONS

There are five ways of investment in Gold i.e. Jewellery, Investment in terms of bars and coins,
Technology, ETFs and Through central banks and other institutions. Investors can divide their
investment in gold in different segments which means Investors should invest in Gold in partial
terms.
Investors not to buy Gold in bulk quantity, it is recommended to buy in small quantities as this

will not trouble the investors when the prices go down. Also, all the investment should not be made

at a single price and should be invested a little amount at one time. The investors should first

analyze the trend of the Gold and then place an order. It is also recommended to avoid investing

in physical Gold terms buy ETFs and Gold bonds.

Gold is one of the best source of investment, as investors should invest when the market is too

risky.

59
CONCLUSION

Gold is considered to be the saving instrument in India and it is used very often to hedge against
the inflation, Geopolitical and economic conditions and it is expected that the gold is considered

to be an alternative asset for holding the idle money for speculative purposes.

But the another aspect to the study is that there is a risk involved in investing in Gold. It is better

to analyze the risk before investing in Gold.

Therefore, I conclude that we should invest in gold by analyzing the past trends and checking the

technical aspects as well as the fundamental aspects. From the study I conclude that the investor

should invest in gold to gain short term profit.

Limitations of the study

The analysis of the investment is mainly based on the historical data
The analysis done does not give guarantee of what happened in the past will also continue
in future

The findings/fundamental facts may be useful for the investors, but their investment

decisions mainly depend on their level of expectation and will be based on the future

performance of the market.
