However, it said that fluctuations in <keyword id="19936629" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="commodity-prices" source="keywords">commodity prices</keyword>, especially for critical imports like oil, metals, and agricultural products, can impact India's trade balance and inflation levels. The Survey said that though ongoing geopolitical headwinds impacted India's merchandise exports, lowering international commodity prices ensured a lower trade deficit in FY24 than in FY23. The country's merchandise trade deficit narrowed to USD 240 billion in 2023-24 from USD 265 billion in 2022-23. It added that changes in trade policies by major trading partners or geopolitical developments can affect India's export opportunities and market access. "In the coming years, India's trade deficit is expected to decline further as the <keyword id="19981334" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="PLI-scheme" source="keywords">PLI scheme</keyword> is expanded and India creates a globally competitive manufacturing base in several product categories," the Survey said.

However, the risks to the performance of India's external sector are on the downside due to the persistence of current <keyword id="19955176" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="geopolitical-tensions" source="keywords">geopolitical tensions</keyword> and policy uncertainty, it said. Some of the challenges listed by the survey includes fall in demand from major trading partners like the US, rise in trade cost, and volatility in commodity prices. Attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and drought in the Panama Canal have resulted in trade flows being re-routed, increasing journey time and costs. India's merchandise trade relies heavily on maritime trade, so disturbances in major shipping routes can impact its economy. "It is critical to explore what these changing paradigms mean for India. Policies need to be a mix that straddles security concerns with economic considerations," the survey said, adding India's push towards manufacturing in complex and niche sectors through schemes such as PLI and Make in India aims to balance these goals. Further, the survey emphasised on the need to focus on improving India's competitiveness in many product areas. For example, it said, India has tremendous potential in becoming a large global exporter in agricultural commodities. Fostering stronger regional trade ties and adding more markets for Indian goods will help mitigate global demand fluctuations. "In an era when global economic growth is likely to be buffeted by geopolitical tensions and protectionism, growing India's exports of goods and services will be a stiffer challenge than before," it cautioned. Commenting on this, Rumki Majumdar, Economist, Deloitte India, said that despite global uncertainties, India's exports are recording positive growth rates. "That shows the resilience of our exports amidst global uncertainties," she said, adding, "by transforming our export basket and focusing on higher margins and value addition across various sectors, India will easily achieve its ambition of USD 2 trillion in exports by 2030-31."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Gold and silver have rallied and have more room to run, Citi's head of commodities research said.</li><li>He says the best bull markets for gold and silver happen when markets in the US and Europe weaken as China strengthens.</li></ul>Gold and silver are on a hot streak, but the metals still have room to run, according to Citi's head of commodities research, Max Layton.Layton says the best bull markets for gold and silver are typically when markets in the US and Europe are weakening, and as China looks poised to strengthen. That's the setup now as Western economies slow and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-economy-aggressive-monetary-stimulus-interest-rate-rrr-2024-9">stimulus measures set to boost China's growth trajectory</a>. He says it's the best positioning for the precious metals in a decade."I am bullish on gold and silver over the next couple of months," Layton told CNBC in a Friday interview, explaining that the best bull markets for gold and silver in the last 20 years have happened when developed markets are weak or weakening and when China is easing and potentially set to strengthen."This is the best setup for gold and silver, certainly for a decade," he added.Layton's comments come amid a gold and silver rally, with the price of gold up 2.4% in the last month to trade at $2,749.10, and that of silver up 6.5% to $34.01.Last week, gold <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/gold-record-price-safe-haven-israel-hamas-geopolitical-tensions-forecast-2024-10?_gl=1*1ba1ja2*_ga*MTY3OTgyNjg0MS4xNzIxMDE2MDM2*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTcyOTg2NjY5MC4zMTcuMS4xNzI5ODY2NzQyLjguMC4w">climbed to a record high</a>, surpassing $2,700 for the first time, after Israel killed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-says-killed-hamas-chief-yahya-sinwar-oct-7-mastermind-2024-10?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar</a> and fears escalated over further tensions with Iran. Investors have piled into gold this year as geopolitics, a shifting economic landscape, and ongoing inflation concerns spark fears of volatility in other assets. Even Treasurys are looking riskier amid rising debt levels in the US, leaving gold as <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/gold-safe-haven-treasurys-us-national-debt-bofa-fiscal-expansion-2024-10">the last safe haven</a>, Bank of America said in a note last week. Layton says the rally is particularly impressive given factors like higher interest rates, stronger payrolls, and weak Chinese imports — all of which are typically bearish signs for metals."Quite frankly, gold and silver have gone up despite a number of things going against them. Variables that have been strongly correlated with gold and silver have gone against them over the last couple of months," he said, adding, "And yet they've been marching higher."Layton is one of many analysts bullish on metals. Strategists at Bank of America see gold hitting <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/gold-safe-haven-treasurys-us-national-debt-bofa-fiscal-expansion-2024-10">$3,000 an ounce</a> by the end of next year, implying over 8% upside. "Gold looks to be the last 'safe haven' asset standing, incentivising traders including central banks to increase exposure," the strategists said in a note last week.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Abaxx is a new commodities exchange that aims to stabilize prices and aid the energy transition.</li><li>"Trade and network keeps the world at peace," Abaxx's CEO told BI.</li></ul>The race to clean-up the global economy is on.Investment in the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-renewable-energy-transition-solar-electric-vehicles-hit-records-2024-2">energy transition</a> — a broad shift from fossil-based energy production systems to renewable resources like wind and solar power — hit $1.8 billion in 2023, with countries like China and the United States leading the charge, according to BloombergNEF, an energy research company. The International Energy Agency says total investment in clean energy could reach $2 trillion by the end of the year.But the shift to a cleaner, lower-carbon world doesn't depend solely on the work of government officials, legislators, or even major businesses. It also hinges on players working behind the scenes to secure the prices of key commodities like liquefied natural gas, essential for electricity generation and heating, and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fund-carbon-removal-corporates-avoid-bad-credits-2023-2">carbon offsets</a>, which help companies counteract the impact of their carbon emissions.A new Singapore-based commodities exchange called Abaxx, which launched in June, is working to do that by providing companies, governments, and project developers with a transparent marketplace for their trades. Commodities markets help stabilize prices by helping suppliers and consumers figure out fair prices, hedge against volatile price changes, and execute efficient and transparent transactions.Exchanges like Abaxx play a role in this because they help lock in prices and mitigate drastic fluctuations in the future. Abaxx deals in futures contracts, legally binding agreements to buy or sell commodities at a specified future date. Three regionally deliverable liquified natural gas contracts and two carbon offset contracts are already trading on the exchange. It's working on launching futures contracts for gold and battery metals, like lithium, a component in <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-cheaper-electric-vehicle-battery-technology-lithium-shift-2023-3">batteries that power EVs like Tesla</a>.Josh Crumb, the CEO and founder of Abaxx, says unclear pricing can lead to higher and more volatile prices for consumers while also forcing commodity producers to navigate turbulent investment cycles."If we look at the battery supply chain, nickel sulfate, lithium, cobalt, these things have gone through huge swings of boom and bust over the last couple of years," Crumb told Business Insider. "The main reason why is we don't have a lot of market transparency so that people can forward plan, price, hedge, all of that."Crumb first realized that the commodity industry needed more innovation when he was working as a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/rip-goldman-sachs-wall-street-investment-bank-dead-2023-11">strategist at Goldman Sachs</a> in the years following the 2008 financial crisis. That coincided with the end of the commodities boom of the 2000s, during which the prices of many commodities, from food to oil to chemicals, had drastically surged.Now, with trading in full swing, Crumb hopes Abaxx will play a role in stabilizing what he sees as the next commodity investment cycle — marked not just by a need for new commodities to facilitate the energy transition but also a surge in electrification."When people speak of the energy transition to a lower carbon economy, they are usually speaking of replacing internal combustion engines with electric vehicles, with electricity supplied by low carbon renewables, hydro, and nuclear power. This will lead to a dramatic increase in electricity consumption," a representative for Crumb wrote to Business Insider by email. Between 2022 and 2050, global electricity generation is expected to surge at a faster rate than it did over the past decade, according to a report from the International Energy Agency.Most importantly, though, exchanges like Abaxx could play a critical role in geopolitics, Crumb said. "You want more transparency; you want more markets because we think that leads to more peace," he said. "We think trade and networks keeps the world at peace."

However, rate cut expectations are starting to ease as investors consider potentially higher inflation under another Trump term."As a result, the Fed rate cut on Thursday may be the last cut, since the Fed does not like to fight market rates," Louis Navellier, the chief investment officer of Navellier &amp; Associates, said in a note on Wednesday, pointing to higher Treasury yields."As we move into 2025, we believe it's possible that we only see two or three cuts for the year depending on the mix of policy and growth that plays out," Yung-Yu Ma, the CIO of BMO Wealth Management, added.Here's what else is going on:<ul><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/nvidia-stock-price-soars-record-valuation-overtakes-apple-nvda-ai-2024-11">Nvidia stock hit a record high</a>, solidifying its position as the world's most valuable company.</li><li>The <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/polymarket-whale-banked-48-million-profits-trump-president-election-win-2024-11">polymarket whale that bet big on Donald Trump's victory</a> banked $48 million on Wednesday.</li><li>There are <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/us-election-trump-stock-rally-rise-sp500-outlook-regulation-mergers-2024-11?_gl=1*1culf3a*_ga*OTI1ODIwOTQ2LjE3MTYzOTg2NjU.*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTczMDkxNjYxMC41MjguMS4xNzMwOTE5MTMyLjM0LjAuMA..">three post-election reasons why stocks are bound to rise</a> through the end of the year, according to Goldman Sachs.</li><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/bonds/ukraine-bonds-trump-wins-us-election-russia-war-zelenskyy-2024-11">Ukraine bonds jumped after Trump's win</a> amid his vows to help end the war in Ukraine.</li></ul>In commodities, bonds, and crypto:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/oil-price">West Texas Intermediate</a> crude oil dipped slightly to $71.89 a barrel. <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/oil-price">Brent crude</a>, the international benchmark, edged lower by 0.5% to $75.14 a barrel.</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/gold-price">Gold</a> slumped 2.85% to $2,665.64 an ounce.</li><li>The 10-year Treasury yield climbed 13 basis points to 4.426%.</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/btc-usd">Bitcoin</a> rose 9.31% to $75,742.</li></ul>

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Oil prices could surge past $200 a barrel if Iran's oil installations are taken offline, a chief commodities expert said.</li><li>Iran accounts for over 2 million barrels of crude exports per day.</li></ul>Oil prices could roar past $200 a barrel if escalating tensions in the Middle East decimate Iran's crude output, a chief commodities analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/10/03/oil-may-hit-200-if-irans-energy-infrastructure-is-targeted-analyst.html">told CNBC</a>.SEB's Bjarne Schieldrop noted that that Iran accounts for over 2 million barrels of crude and compensate exports per day. He said that if rising conflict in the region were to wipe out Iranian oil infrastructure, that would significantly reduce the OPEC+ coalition's spare oil capacity.That not only means higher prices but amplified market uncertainty, Schieldrop added: "The next question in the market would be, what will happen now in the strait of Hormuz, and that, of course, would then add a significant risk premium to oil."In the $200 per barrel scenario, <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/oil-price?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Brent</a> crude, the international benchmark, would gain 161% from its current price.Oil is trading at $76.44 as of 11:20 am ET Thursday. Prices have risen nearly 10% from a bottom on Tuesday, triggered by Iran's major missile attack on Israel. The attack came in response to the Israeli ground offensive into Lebanon. Traders are monitoring for further escalation, with special attention on how Israel might retaliate.Despite the rally, Brent crude still trades around 16% below this year's $91 peak. Other analysts appear aligned with Schieldrop, noting that geopolitical tensions will remain insignificant until investors see oil infrastructure take actual damage."The market is complacent about geopolitical risk. If you don't see barrels going offline, like we saw with Libya recently, the impact doesn't matter much," Rapidan founder Bob McNally told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I87xfAoUbo">CNBC</a>. He added: "I think they're hoping and expecting perhaps Israel will be restrained in its response, and that we won't see a material disruption in the energy production and flows."Still, some investors are betting on the possibility of damaged oil output, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-02/traders-bet-on-100-a-barrel-oil-as-mideast-risks-escalate">Bloomberg</a> reports. Nearly 27 million barrels of Brent $100 options calls were traded on Wednesday, meaning that traders are hedging against the risk of triple-digit oil prices.Growing tensions between Israel and Iran are not the only factor moving oil prices. In December, the OPEC+ cartel will decide whether to unleash more crude output, undoing some of the production coalition's production curbs.These restrictions were introduced to prop up oil prices, but have cost the alliance market share. Meanwhile, some members haven't stuck with their quotas, drawing the ire of Saudi Arabia, the OPEC leader.Last week, the kingdom warned that Brent could fall as low as <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/saudi-arabia-opec-oil-production-cuts-crude-prices-middle-east-2024-10?_gl=1*ani1tt*_ga*MTMxNDIwNDI1Ni4xNjc1Njg3OTU4*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTcyNzk3MDc1NC42ODQuMC4xNzI3OTcwNzU0LjYwLjAuMA..">$50 a barrel</a> if OPEC doesn't reduce outflows, as pledged.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Russian President Vladimir Putin is considering limiting strategic commodity exports to counter Western sanctions.</li><li>Putin cited uranium, nickel, and titanium as some commodities his government can look into.</li></ul>Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to impose his own trade restrictions to retaliate against the West's sanctions.But there's one issue: He still needs to fund the war in Ukraine and profits from oil exports are likely under pressure.On Wednesday, Putin told his government to consider the export of strategic commodities, such as uranium, nickel, and titanium, according to state news agency <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://tass.com/politics/1841901">TASS</a>."They are restricting supplies of a number of goods to us. Well, maybe we should also impose certain restrictions?" Putin said.However, any such limits should only be imposed if they do not "harm us," said Putin, adding that he wasn't saying he was expecting action "tomorrow."Russia is a commodities giant and a top exporter of the three metals Putin highlighted, so any disruption to supply could have serious global fallout.Among other uses, uranium is used for nuclear energy generation, nickel is used in batteries, and titanium is used in aerospace manufacturing.The US has already banned some <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2249">Russian metal imports,</a> including <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.state.gov/prohibiting-imports-of-uranium-products-from-the-russian-federation/">uranium.</a>Markets took note: Three-month nickel on the London Metal Exchange closed 2.5% higher on Wednesday, following Putin's comments. Shares in uranium miners also jumped.Russia imposed temporary <a target="_blank" class="" href="http://government.ru/en/docs/50528/">export bans</a> for over 200 products in March 2022, which it said was to "maintain stability" in its own market.

Commodities are important for its war chest and there's only so much oil it can pump, as the country is part of the OPEC+ oil alliance."Russia has managed to sustain its oil production and exports despite Western sanctions and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.opec.org/opec_web/en/press_room/7369.htm">OPEC+ cuts,</a> although it has faced challenges with its oil cash flows," wrote Svetlana Tretyakova, a senior analyst at Rystad Energy, in late August.Russia exported 3.36 million barrels per day of seaborne crude oil in August, per <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/oil/090424-russian-oil-product-exports-slump-to-post-pandemic-low-in-august">S&amp;P Global.</a>However, ongoing compliance issues with OPEC+ production targets and low crude stocks pose risks to sustaining this level, wrote Tretyakova.

Following the <keyword id="19936553" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="budget" source="keywords">budget</keyword> announcement by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman that the government has slashed basic customs duties on gold and silver from 15 per cent to 6 per cent, gold prices crashed by Rs 3,350 to Rs 72,300 per 10 grams in the national capital on Tuesday. The precious metal prices continued the downtrend and plunged by Rs 650 on Wednesday. The yellow metal rates saw another steep fall on Thursday, nosediving by Rs 1,000 to settle at Rs 70,650 per 10 grams, as per the All India Sarafa Association. After the duty cut, the yellow metal has declined Rs 5,000 per 10 grams or 7.1% in the past three sessions, since July 23 when it had fallen Rs 3,350 to end at Rs 72,300 per kg. Also, gold of 99.5% purity declined by Rs 1,000 to Rs 70,300 per 10 grams on Thursday. It had also lost ground by Rs 5,000 per 10 grams in the previous three sessions. On Thursday, silver rates also lost ground by Rs 3,500 per kg to Rs 84,000 per kg. In the past three sessions, the rates of the bright metal fell sharply by Rs 7,000 or 8.3% to Rs 84,000 per kg from Rs 91,000 per kg. Traders also said that a sharp correction in gold prices have revived the demand for jewellery among consumers as they flocked to jewellery outlets to take advantage of lower prices. "The reduction in basic custom duties have spurted the demand for jewellery in the domestic markets. Further, this will act as a sales booster for jewellers before the festive seasons, encouraging fresh buying by the consumers due to lower prices," PC Jeweller's Managing Director Balram Garg. Low gold prices will help domestic jewellers, particularly the organised ones, Garg said. According to MP Ahammed, Chairman, Malabar Group, the reduction has been a long-standing demand of traders in the gold sector, as it is expected to curb the rampant issue of gold smuggling, which poses a substantial threat to the Indian economy. "With the new rates, the duty on one kilogram of gold drops from Rs 9.82 lakh to Rs 3.93 lakh, making smuggling less attractive and more manageable. "This move will help dismantle the mafia chain involved in smuggling, leading to growth in the organised jewellery sector and increasing government revenue through GST and income tax," Ahammed said. Meanwhile, in futures trade on the <keyword id="20316358" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="multi-commodity-exchange" source="keywords">Multi Commodity Exchange</keyword> (MCX), gold futures have partially recovered on Friday, after three days of slump.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Indexes rallied Thursday on positive jobs data and promises of further economic stimulus in China.</li><li>Jobless claims fell 4,000 to a four-month low of 218,000, beating estimates of a mild increase.</li></ul>US stocks rallied on Thursday, fueled by China stimulus measures and positive jobs data to pare losses from yesterday.The indexes rallied after leaders in China pledged to support the economy with more strong policy measures.That sentiment comes just days after the country unveiled a series of stimulus measures in a rare move to prop up the country's sluggish economy, which is plagued by weak domestic demand and a struggling property sector.The indexes' gains were also fueled by positive labor market data. Jobless claims fell unexpectedly last week, down 4,000 to a four-month low of 218,000, according to Labor Department data released Thursday.Those claims mark two weeks of straight declines, and came in significantly lower than economists' forecasts of a rise to 225,000.Meanwhile, second-quarter GDP came in unrevised at a 3% annualized rate, according to data released Thursday. First quarter growth was revised up to 1.6% from 1.4%.That positive data will likely give markets more confidence in the underlying strength of the US economy as traders continue to expect a series of rapid rate cuts over the next year.Markets are pricing in a 52% chance of another jumbo 50 basis-point-rate cut from the Federal Reserve in November, according to the CME FedWatch tool.On Friday traders will be focused on new personal consumption expenditure data, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge.Here's where US indexes stood at 10:10 a.m. on Thursday:<ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/s&amp;p_500?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">S&amp;P 500</a>: 5,754.44 up 0.6%</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/dow_jones?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Dow Jones Industrial Average</a>: 42,097.73, up 0.4% (181 points)</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/nasdaq_composite?utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest%3Futm_source%3Dmarkets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Nasdaq composite</a>: 18,251.97, up 0.9%</li></ul>Here's what else is going on today:<ul><li>Benard Arnault added <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/china-economy-stimulus-bernard-arnault-6-billion-richer-lvmh-stock-2024-9">$6 billion to his net worth</a> in a day after China's stimulus sparked a rally in luxury stocks.</li><li>Hedge fund manager Eric Jackson believes we may be in for an <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-everything-rally-returnsbull-surge-heats-up-nasdaq-gains-2024-9?_gl=1*8nbf8q*_ga*MTY3OTgyNjg0MS4xNzIxMDE2MDM2*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTcyNzM1NTQ5MS4xODkuMS4xNzI3MzU3NzYyLjIxLjAuMA..">"everything rally"</a> as stocks mirror the early days of one of history's biggest bull markets</li><li>The US personal savings rate, a key US consumer indicator, has dipped to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/recession-outlook-savings-household-spending-economy-2008-financial-crisis-2024-9">"crisis levels,"</a> SocGen says</li></ul>In commodities, bonds, and crypto:<ul><li>Oil futures fell. <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/oil-price?type=wti">WTI crude</a> dipped 3.29% to $67.32 a barrel. <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/oil-price?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Brent crude</a>, the international benchmark, fell 3.13% to $71.13 a barrel.</li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/gold-price?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Gold</a> was up 0.01% to $2,685 per ounce.</li><li>The 10-year Treasury yield rose six basis points to 3.794%.</li><li><a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/btc-usd">Bitcoin</a> rose 0.31% to $57,745.72</li></ul>
