News: Call rates were little changed during the week

Call rates were little changed during the week, steadying in the range of 6-6.2%, as banks appeared to have covered their positions well in advance initially, resulting into lower demand later in the week. Initially, call rates will ease realigning to the 1% LAF rate cuts announced on Saturday. Later on, quotes may rise slightly with corporate advance tax payments lined up in the coming days and Rs 10,000 crore worth borrowing due as per the latest borrowing plan. Gilts Market The yield curve sustained the southward move on the back of a crowd of positive factors led by ample surplus cash in the money market. The expectation that interest rates would be cut backed the bonds market. Lower inflation rate had little impact on bonds showing that market had factored in lower inflation, especially with a cut in fuel prices anticipated. Petrol and diesel price cuts were announced after trading hours. After fuel price cuts and the LAF rate cuts, bond traders may look for more action. Absence of cut in reserve ratios could disappoint the market, leading to a small correction. Corporate Bonds Corporate bond yields finally showed a significant movement, tripping suddenly with liquidity conditions having improved drastically. The influence of other positive factors also finally trickled down into the segment. Last week’s surge may not form much momentum as surplus cash may not remain at last week’s levels in the coming weeks. Still, some action is expected to continue given the sharp move last week. The broad mood and outlook in the interest rate market would be watched. Forex The rupee rose to 49.58/$ from a previous week’s close of 50.09/$. Earlier, the rupee fell to a low of 50.65/$, but recovered to end in the sub-50 area which is also a psychological mark. Annualised forward premia remained edgy throughout the week, with traders uncertain on the rupee direction. Six-month premium ended lower at 2.54% from 2.87% previous week. The rupee is likely to move in a range in jerky fashion as clear direction is lacking. The impact of the stimulus package on stocks would be a key factor to be watched out for. http://www.india-stock-market-news.com/

Movies: Ajay Devgan makes friends online!


The actor/director who is known to keep a low profile, recently made a sweet gesture by talking to fans over the internet on the occasion of Friendships Day almost the entire day ! Apparently Ajay was looking for an appropriate day to interact with fans and took this opportunity to answer friend requests all over the web based social networking sites and communities like Facebook, Myspace along with his personal website. Unlike Ajay's abilities and understanding of the technical aspects involving film making, nowadays Ajay concentrates and devotes a lot of time on his computer and web. Interestingly it was observed that Ajay also insisted on the true identity like the picture of the person who wishes to be his friend before accepting their request. Looks like nothing stops the man from insisting on perfection. All we have to say is, Good going Ajay, as there are millions who wish to reach you!

Business: Building a strong and appealing B2B blog

Forrester Research has just released a new report that raises a daunting question: How many B2B companies are benefiting from all various forms of blogging? According to Forrester, about 52.9 percent of companies involved in the B2B segment say that blogging has only a marginal significance or that it is totally irrelevant to their overall marketing efforts. Among some companies tracked regularly by Forrester, the number of new blogs fell from 36 two years ago to just 3 this year, representing a significant drop by any measure. Forrester implies the problem may lie with B2B companies themselves, using words like “dull” and “drab” to describe some of the B2B blogs. Among the knocks against blogs noted by Forrester: not enough personality in most of the posts, an irregular posting schedule and bloggers who simply just don’t stick with it. Overall, 55.8 percent of such B2B blogs feature mostly press releases or other well-known news, giving people little incentive to read them in the first place. Some marketing observers say that if it’s a B2B blog, shouldn’t it be about business? There’s certainly nothing wrong with inserting an occasional personal anecdote to help illustrate a point or otherwise liven up a business topic, but most people don’t want to read about the hobbies, pets or personal lives of vendors or business partners.
