Tips for curbing effects of Inflation on daily life

Rising inflation has started affecting every individual here are few proven tips for minimizing the effect of inflation on your hard earned money:

How to open your free account for online share trading

Rework Your Household Budget:
In the times of rising prices, you need to spend your monthly household budget smartly. To maintain your lifestyle, you should limit the household expenses to 70 per cent of your monthly take-home income. "If it is exceeding the limit, you need to judiciously cut down on the unnecessary expense items," says Ramesh Dalal, V-P, Bajaj Capital Financial Planning Group. For example, you should buy the seasonal fruits and vegetables and avoid the non-seasonal ones, as they are expensive. Control the use of electricity and telephone and try to reduce the expenses on wardrobe, partying, gifts etc. by a certain percentage. You may also think of enhancing your earning capacity by changing to a better-paying job or doing some part-time work.

Insulate Your Long-Term Goals Against Inflation:
Do not let inflation affect your long-term mandatory goals like house purchase, education and marriage of your children and regular income for the retirement years."With the help of a qualified financial planner, incorporate the inflation factor in your long-term goals and invest the required amount regularly towards meeting those goals," says Dalal. For example, if you want to make provision of Rs 10 lakh for your 6-year-old daughter's higher education when she is 18, incorporating an inflation figure of 6 per cent p.a. will give you a figure of Rs 20 lakh at that point of time. Therefore, you should start an investment plan from now, which will help you accumulate Rs 20 lakh after 12 years.

Review Your Financial Goals :
In the current scenario of staggering prices, there is a need to review your financial plans and investments as the expenses and corpus required to achieve financial goals may increase. So, you need to balance your portfolio so that it can generate better inflation-adjusted returns.

Diversify Your Portfolio:
Inflation impacts different sectors in different ways. "Due to current inflationary trends, one needs to have a well thought-out sector spread in his investment portfolio. While investing in companies, one should look at how they are being impacted by the rising input and borrowing costs," informs Ashish Kapur, CEO, Invest Shoppe India Ltd. For example, manufacturing companies or heavy industries, though their stocks, will be available at tempting valuations. However, chances are high that they will further fall in short term, owing to negative sentiment. Hence, investments should be made in large cap companies having economies of scale and their ability to handle input and borrowing costs.

Inflation Updates

Stay Invested in Equities:
For long-term investment goals like child education, retirement etc, equity can generate handsome inflation-adjusted returns. Therefore, In spite of the current volatile situation in the equity market, it is advisable to stay invested as this is a cyclical event and in the long run the markets are bound to rise. Hence, to achieve such goals one should be able to take a calculated risk. "Consider this bearish trend as a good entry point in garnering blue chip stocks," says Kapur.

Invest your Money wisely :
Don't keep on accumulating your money in the savings bank A/c. Keep only 2-3 times of your monthly household expenses in the liquid form and invest the balance amount regularly in a well-diversified portfolio of equity, short-term debt, real estate, commodities and gold. It will increase your cash inflows and help you reduce the burden of rising prices.

Check The Real Return On Investment Portfolio:
Inflation eats into your net worth by reducing the real return on your investment portfolio. Real returns are inflation adjusted returns. For example, if you have a bank FD, which earns returns at 8 per cent p.a., and inflation is 8 per cent, then the real return on this investment is zero. Therefore, you should review your existing portfolio as well as make fresh investments to check whether your absolute returns are beating the rate of inflation by a good margin or not. Equity, commodities, gold and real estate are good investment options to generate a positive real rate of return. For short-term requirements, you can consider investing in the short-term funds or floater funds. It is generally seen that a high inflationary trend is followed by an upward revision in the interest rates. Hike in the interest rates will adversely affect your long-term debt portfolio. Therefore, during inflationary periods, it is wise to invest in short-term funds and wait to reap high returns.

Add the Shimmer of Gold to Your Portfolio:
Historically gold has proved to be the perfect hedge against inflation. After adding gold in your portfolio, the risk remaining the same, the overall inflation-adjusted returns of portfolio can be enhanced. High inflation, in fact, puts an upward pressure on the interest rates, which in turn create uncertainty in the capital markets. During such times of crisis, gold as an investment avenue is a good bet. Investment in gold can be made in the form of bullion, coins, jewellery and Gold Funds Exchange Traded Gold Funds, among others.

Avoid Investments In Illiquid Assets:
Illiquid assets with low returns restrict the performance of a portfolio. So, try to exit from such investments and redeploy the amount in asset classes that generate better inflation-adjusted returns. For example, bank fixed deposits, post office recurring deposits, etc.

6. Financial model of the company : Analysts point out that you should evaluate the financial model of a company on a quarterly basis . It will serve not only as a guide to the current performance of the company, but also what its future goals are and how is it working towards it.

7. Rising Costs of Inputs :Analysts say you should closely monitor raw material costs of the companies in which you have shares.For instance, in case of auto and capital goods sector, the prices of major raw materials such as metals and alloys have gone up but the price of finished products can’t be increased in the same proportion because of intense competition in the sector.

9 june - Sensex Down 500 pts - Oil reaches $140 / barrel mark

Online Share trading guide

June 9 - Share prices in India fell to their lowest levels so far this year on Monday, following a sell-off in global markets, crude oil inching closer to the $140 mark over the weekend, and amid talk it would touch $150/barrel sooner rather than later.

US markets fell sharply on Friday, and Asia followed suit Monday, as concerns about the health of the US economy resurfaced after data showed unemployment increased. But stocks on Dalal Street were the worst performers
across the globe as domestic concerns weighed and talk of Indian markets in a 'bear phase' spooked participants.

Even longer-term investors, already rattled by last week's slide, were quick to liquidate positions, following a similar pattern among foreign institutions.

Online Share trading guide

"Indian investors get weak in the knees when FIIs start selling. The fundamentals are not the same as they were a few months back, and people are starting to believe the bear phase is actually here. We are largely under performing other markets because our economy is comparatively more sensitive to the rise in oil," said Viral Doshi, independent technical and derivatives analyst.

"I think the selling will continue. I don't expect to see any support coming in before Nifty reaches 4300 - the 38.2% retracement level from the January 2008 high to the March 2003 bottom," Doshi added.

National Stock Exchange's Nifty closed at 4500.95, down 127 points or 2.74 per cent from Friday's close. Intraday, it fell to a low of 4411.60--also the low so far in 2008.

Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensex plunged 506 points or 3.25 per cent to 15,066.10, off the low of 14,846.18. The high was 15,202.74.

Online Share trading guide

Mid-and small-cap stocks were not spared either. BSE Mid-cap and Small-cap indices ended down 2.83 per cent and 3.63 per cent, respectively.

Ranbaxy Laboratories (up 3.87%), Reliance Communications (1.34%), Hindalco Industries (0.2%) were the only gainers in the 30-share Sensex.

Among the index losers, Jaiparakash Associates (down 8.65%), DLF (7.39%), ONGC (7.02%), HDFC (5.99%), Reliance Infrastructure (5.65%) and Wipro (4.85%) were severely beaten down.

Realty stocks were hit the hardest as increasing probability of a slowdown in the sector, rising input costs and little chances of interest rate softening weighed on sentiment.

Online Share trading guide

Being a high-beta sector, when the overall market sentiment is weak, real estate stocks tend to perform very poorly, said analysts tracking real estate sector.

BSE Realty Index shed a massive 7.38 per cent with industry leaders DLF hitting a life low of Rs 475 and Unitech plunging to 52-week low of Rs 183.05. Other realty counters Akruti City (6.72%), Anant Raj Industries (5.55%), Ansal Infrastructure (8.1%), HDIL (8.81%) and Indiabulls Realty (6.06%) were also beaten down.

BSE Healthcare Index edged higher in the afternoon as investors chose to place their bets on the defensive sector. Ranbaxy rose 3.87 per cent sending the BSE Healthcare Index up 0.53 per cent. Other sectoral gainers comprised Lupin Laboratories (8.05%), Nicholas Piramal (up 2.89%) and Sun Pharmaceuticals (2.72%).

Market breadth was negative, with 2,170 declines and 474 advances on BSE.

Sensex slips below 15k, Nifty at fresh 2008 low

MUMBAI: Stock indices lost further ground after a plunge early Monday as traders were swift to sell shares tracking hefty losses in Asian and US markets. Domestic concerns over inflation and spiraling oil prices only worsened the situation, pushing the Nifty-50 Index below the previous 2008 low of 4448.50, making a fresh low of 4433.5 for the year.

Exchange-traded futures to be in currency next quarter: SEBI

also read : Online Share trading Guide

Corporate houses and investors will be able to trade in currency futures at exchanges in three months. Capital market regulator Securities & Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said here on Tuesday it was working with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to help companies and investors hedge their currency risks by introducing exchange-traded currency futures.

Sebi chairman C B Bhave said the next priority was introducing interest rate derivatives, in line with the regulator’s intention to let market participants offer as many products as possible.

Sebi is also working on providing a trading platform for small and medium enterprises (SME), Mr Bhave said addressing a meeting of industry body Assocham.

Exchange-traded currency futures will provide a hedging option in the currency market. The move comes in the backdrop of a sharp volatility the rupee has witnessed by rising to a three-decade high last year and weakening to a 13-month low in 2008.

A Sebi-RBI panel set up to advise on the futures had recommended introduction of currency futures market, initially for dollar-rupee contract, to enable investors manage volatility in the currency market.

The committee had suggested the minimum size of the currency futures contract at the introduction should be $1,000. The government allows trading in currency derivatives, including forwards and options, that are contracts bought and sold on demand and not traded on exchanges. The Sebi chairman said the regulator will also start working on interest rate derivatives.

Small and medium size companies can hope to raise capital from the market without going through the rigorous compliance requirements that bigger companies have to.

“We also have to see that we give access to markets. There are a variety of issuers in the country. It cannot be that there are only top 500 companies in the country.

Therefore, the next thing that’s engaging our mind is creation of an exchange for small and medium enterprises,” the chairman said. Sebi also ruled out relaxing curbs imposed last year on participatory notes, a derivative tool that enables unregistered foreign investors to invest in stock markets.

“Sebi has notified the regulations that arose out of October decisions,” Mr Bhave told reporters when asked if there was a proposal to amend the regulations on participatory notes.

India allows sovereign funds to buy shares directly

India's stock market regulator on Thursday allowed sovereign wealth funds, university funds, endownments and charitable trusts to register as foreign institutional investors (FIIs).

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) said in a statement asset management firms founded by overseas Indians can also register as FIIs, which will enable them to buy and sell shares directly through a broker.

Last year, the regulator had curbed the use of participatory notes, or P-notes, used by unregistered foreigners to take exposure in Indian stocks.

At that time, SEBI had said it wanted portfolio investors to register to help it track the source of funds.

IPO scam: SEBI starts disgorgement process

Securities market regulator SEBI on Thursday passed the first set of consent orders in the case relating to the IPO share allotment scam of 2006, signalling that the process of compensating retail investors who had lost out in share offerings is on course.

SEBI has signed the first set of consent orders with members of the Dadia family, who were identified as errant financiers in the IPO scam. In the process the regulator has said it had managed to collect Rs 71.75 lakh. Other entities such as financiers and market operators are also expected now to adopt this course of action to settle the proceedings initiated against them by SEBI.

SEBI is expected to sign consent orders with several other entities who were accused of irregularities in the scam. The ill-gotten gains of these entities after disgorgement will then be used to compensate thousands of retail investors who had applied for shares in a raft of IPOs in the boom time period of 2005-06, but got short-changed as the allotment process was manipulated.

Retail investors who applied but failed to gain allotment in over 20 IPOs during 2005-06 will be compensated in line with the recommendations of the Justice Wadhwa Committee. For that to happen, SEBI will need to complete the consent orders with several other entities (reckoned to be over 80) disgorge the funds and then ensure that the total kitty is adequate to compensate investors. This could take some time but the process of disgorgement is now on track, an official said.

Last month, the Securities Appellate Tribunal in its order on Karvy said “it appears that after identifying financiers and beneficiaries of the scam, the board turned a Nelson’s eye towards them and chose to proceed against depositories and their participants and that too ex-parte.”

“It is just a matter of days now,” said an official familiar with the development. “There are quite a few consent orders that are past their final draft stage and will be released as soon as they are signed by the authority concerned,” he added.

The SEBI-mandated committee headed by Justice Wadhwa, appointed to work out the modalities of compensating investors who were cheated in the IPO scam, had suggested that they be compensated in monetary terms. It had worked a compensation of Rs 92 crore for the investors who had applied for shares in the retail category in the said IPOs.

This money was to be part collected through selling the frozen shares of the entities implicated in the scam, an amount estimated to be between Rs 60 crore and 90 crore. The case goes back to 2006 when SEBI barred various individuals and entities from dealing in the securities market directly or indirectly until further directions.

These included Roopalben Panchal, Karvy Stock Broking, Magnum Equity Services, Deep Stockbroking, Anagram Securities, Jhaveri Securities and Indiabulls Securities, among others. Further, entities like HDFC Bank, IDBI Bank, Centurion Bank of Punjab, Motilal Oswal Securities and Jhaveri Securities were barred from opening fresh demat accounts for failing to adhere to ‘Know Your Client’ norms. However, few of the aggrieved parties managed to get some respite by appealing against the order.

Meanwhile, the compensation package was to be based on the closing price on the listing day for all these IPOs, which include IDFC, Jet Airways and Suzlon. In essence, investors who lost out in these IPOs should be paid the difference between the offer price and the closing price on the listing day, the committee had said in its report. People who did not get any allotments were to be compensated first. Recently, SAT vacated the appeal file by SEBI against the depositories, saying since the depositories were not actually directly responsible in the scam (as in not ‘gorged’ any money, disgorging from them was illegal.)

Interestingly, legal experts are not surprised that the market regulator has taken recourse to consent orders for winding up the IPO scam investigations. Entities that request for a consent order have to furnish a written waiver from taking any legal proceedings against SEBI concerning any of the issues covered by the consent order. The recent past has been witness to few instances where the Sebi order was turned down by the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT).

Bond yields at 1 year high - Stock market updates

Federal bond yields rose to one-year highs early on Friday, after hawkish comments by the central bank and on concerns soaring inflation may dampen investor appetite at a 100-billion-rupee ($2.3 billion) auction.

At 9:04 a.m. (0334 GMT), the 10-year benchmark bond yield was at 8.21 percent, its highest since late-June 2007, according to Reuters data and above 8.19 percent on Thursday. It has gained 11 basis points so far this week on top of a rise of 18 basis points in May. Reserve Bank of India Governor Yaga Venugopal Reddy said on Thursday the central bank was ready to take recourse to its full range of instruments to anchor inflationary expectations.

Government opening forex trade in stock exchange for common man

Indian government is seriously considering of easing the norms(terms and conditions) for common man to start forex trading through indian stock markets including BSE(Bombay Stock Exchange) and NSE ( National Stock Exchange) or Nifty in near future.

The finance minister and members of all the stock exchanges of india had a meeting and final consent was given for the move. Common man must feel somewhat relaxed now as he/she can directly do forex trading in Stock exchange which was earlier possible for business houses and exporters as in earlier days the terms and conditions applicable for forex trading in stock exchanges were too restrictive and common man could not ever think for such trading in stock exchanges.

This move would also make investment firms rethink of bringing back their investments back to indian subcontinent which were stopped due to government restrictions, so indians can see US dollar weakening with respect to Indian Rupee in near future and US $ will again come at under INR 40 due to this move.
