US stocks rebounded in afternoon trading on Wednesday to end little changed as energy shares and Apple bounced back, offseting continued concerns about a slowdown in China. The Dow moved nearly 300 points from its low of the day to its high before closing flat.

COMMODITY ROUNDUP

The price of gold rose to nearly a month's high in early

Wednesday trade before punters booked profits which

pulled down the yellow metal from the day’s peak. Still,

gold recorded a gain of around four per cent or Rs 900 per

10g in two days. Standard gold touched Rs 26,000 per 10g, a

level not seen after July 17 but the slipped on profit booking

by stockists. Gold closed at Rs 25,900 per 10g, a rise of Rs

380 from Tuesday.

Silver rose five per cent in two days, in line, to close at Rs

36,200 a kilo at Zaveri Bazaar here. Base metals widened

their losses, with copper at $5,063 an ounce on the bench-

mark London Metal Exchange on Wednesday, following fear

of lower import by China. With a devaluation in the Chinese

currency, the yuan, imports are set to become costlier.

Nickel plunged to the lowest level since 2008, while copper,

zinc and aluminium extended their declines.

Copper prices extended losses from the previous session on

Wednesday to hit a six-year low as some market analysts

feared that the rapid decline in the value of China's cur-

rency could ignite a currency war that would destabilize the

global economy. Indian MCX Copper was trading at Rs 334

per kg, up 0.48%. The prices of Copper tested a high of Rs

336 per kg and a low of Rs 329 per kg.

Sept. delivery on the Comex Copper division of the NYMEX

tumbled to a daily low of $2.292 a pound, a level not seen

since June 2009, before trading at $2.319 during European

morning hours, down 1.2 cents, or 0.52%. Copper prices

have been under pressure in recent weeks amid growing

concerns over the health of China's economy. Data released

Wednesday showed that China's industrial production in-

creased at an annual rate of 6.0% in July, disappointing ex-

pectations for a 6.6% gain.

Oil prices were steady early on Thursday, supported by

lower U.S. stockpiles and a firm demand outlook, but wor-

ries over China's economy continued to weigh. Oil

prices rose on Wednesday after an upbeat report from

the International Energy Agency (IEA) outweighed the bear-

ish impact of a further weakening of China's yuan currency

and disappointing Chinese industrial output data.

NCDEX ROUNDUP

Guar gum prices have fallen 35 per cent in four months, ow-ing to weak export demand. The constant drop in crude oil prices have seen a decline in gum demand globally by al-most 50 per cent from importing countries. Guar gum is used by drilling companies to thicken water that is mixed with sand and pumped through shale rock cracks to extract gas Also, good sowing in the current kharif season and ex-pectation of higher carryover stock has put increased pres-sure on gum prices. From Rs 130 a kg four months earlier, these have fallen to Rs 75-78 a kg.

Maharshtra Kharif sowing witnessed a good pick up in late July and steady rainfall over first week of August boosted the hopes. However, rains have witnessed a slackening over last one week and the overall spread and temporal distribu-tion of the rainfall is leaving much to be desired for the farmers. Marathwada is suffering from a chronic drought an drains in Western Maharashtra have also been rather mod-erate. Total rainfall in the state in the current monsoon is just about 60% of the LPA at 440 mm and water levels in major reservoirs are also not very satisfactory.

The word crude oil demand is increasing at its fastest pace in five years as the prices linger around six year lows, stated the International Energy Agency (IEA) in a latest monthly update today. The IEA said global oil demand would grow by 1.6 million barrels a day this year, an upward revision of 200,000 barrels a day from its previous forecast, and would keep rising by 1.4 million barrels a day next year.

CURRENCY MARKET UPDATES: Indian rupee fell over 1% to 64.95 per dollar in intraday trade on Wednesday, a level last seen in Sept 2013 when the country was struggling with high current account defi-cit. The rupee's tumble comes amid a sharp decline across emerging market currencies following the devaluation of yuan by the Chinese government. China on Wednesday allowed the yuan to fall sharply for a second straight day. The People's Bank of China had billed Tuesday's move as a free-market reform but experts suspect it could be the be-ginning of a longer-term slide in the exchange rate to make China's ailing exports more competitive. The rapid drop in the value of yuan -- more than 4 per cent in the last two days -- dealt a body blow to appetite for risky assets globally, with equities, currencies and com-modities coming under selling pressure. The rupee ended at 64.78 per dollar, marking its sixth straight day of losses. The US dollar pushed sharply lower against a basket of cur-rencies on Wednesday after China devalued its currency for the second consecutive day. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback's strength against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, dropped down to 96.64, the lowest level since July 27. Dollar was lower against the yen, with USD/JPY down 0.81% at 124.11. The yen was boosted by increased safe haven demand as steep declines in equity and commodity markets hit demand for riskier assets. The European unit, meanwhile, hit a one-month high of 1.1150 against the dollar, with EUR/USD up 0.99% for the day. As against the pound, the dollar was lower with GBP/USD up 0.21% at 1.5604. U.K. average weekly earnings, excluding bonuses remained unchanged at an annualized 2.8% in the three months to June. Including bonuses, growth in average weekly earn-ings slowed to 2.4%, down from 3.2% in the three months to May. The U.K. unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.6% in the three months to June, in line with forecasts. The number of people claiming unemployment benefits declined by 4,900 to 792,400 in July
