Gold gains on dollar weakness, US jobs data awaited
- Gold firmed on Monday as the dollar hovered near its lowest level in more than three years, while the market's focus shifted to a slew of U.S. jobs data due later this week that could influence the Federal Reserve's rate cut trajectory. Spot gold was up 0.4% at $3,287.29 per ounce as of 0959 GMT, after hitting its lowest since May 29 earlier in the session. Bullion has risen 5.3% so far this quarter. U.S. gold futures gained 0.4% at $3,298.80. The dollar index hovered near its lowest level since March 2022. A weaker dollar makes greenback-priced bullion less expensive for holders of other currencies. [USD/] "I see two factors which are interlinked supporting gold. A weaker U.S. dollar and the ongoing pressure of President Trump on the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates," said Giovanni Staunovo, an analyst at UBS. Trump said on Friday he would not appoint anyone to head the Federal Reserve who would not support lowering interest rates. On the U.S. data front, investors awaited the ADP employment report due on Wednesday, and non-farm payrolls report on Thursday, which could provide insights into the Fed's future path for interest rate cuts. The focus remains if the data suggests a further slowdown in economic activity, which will allow the U.S. central bank to cut interest rates, Staunovo said. Investors are anticipating 66 basis points of Fed rate cuts by the end of this year, starting in September. Gold tends to gain appeal in a low-interest rate environment, as it offers no yield. On the trade front, Canada scrapped its digital services tax targeting U.S. technology firms late on Sunday, just hours before it was due to take effect, in a bid to advance stalled trade negotiations with the United States. Spot silver rose 0.2% to $36.05 per ounce, platinum firmed 1.6% to $1,361.0, while palladium was up 2.3% at $1,160.09.

Union Minister Amit Shah chairs 'Manthan Baithak' in New Delhi to commemorate International Year of Cooperatives 2025
New Delhi [India], June 30 (ANI): Union Home and Cooperation Affairs Minister Amit Shah on Monday chaired a 'Manthan Baithak' with cooperative ministers from all States and Union Territories to commemorate the International Year of Cooperatives 2025. Earlier on June 20, Amit Shah addressed a national seminar organised in Mumbai on the occasion of the International Year of Cooperatives 2025. Union Minister Shah said that while cooperatives can be an economic system for the entire world, for India, cooperation is a traditional philosophy of life. Living together, thinking together, working together, moving toward a common goal, and standing by each other in joy and sorrow are part of the soul of Indian philosophy. He stated that the nearly 125-year-old cooperative movement has been a support for the country's poor, farmers, rural citizens, and especially women, through many ups and downs. Amit Shah said that under the cooperative movement, organisations like Amul, Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO), Krishak Bharati Cooperative Limited (KRIBHCO), and National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation (NAFED) have created numerous success stories. Today, 36 lakh poor rural women are associated with Amul, who have invested no more than 100 rupees in capital, yet due to their hard work, Amul's turnover is 80,000 crore rupees, with profits directly deposited into these women's bank accounts. Shah added that whether it is IFFCO or KRIBHCO, small farmers toil in their fields and supply their produce to the Government of India at Minimum Support Price (MSP), and the same grain is distributed to the poor as 5 kilos of free ration every month. The backbone of this entire scheme is NCCF and, in particular, NAFED. The United Nations has declared the year 2025 as the 'International Year of Cooperatives', with a theme of 'Cooperatives Build a Better World'. The primary objective of the initiative is to underscore the vital role cooperatives play in a country's social and economic development, and to address challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and social inequality.

Rural FMCG volume grew thrice urban volume growth in Q4FY25, similar trend likely to continue: Report
New Delhi [India], June 30 (ANI): Driven by increased distribution of freebies and a positive sentiment from good monsoon, rural market in India's fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector continues to outperform urban areas, according to a recent report by Nuvama Institutional Equities. The report stated that rural markets continued to outpace urban areas in the overall FMCG sector. It noted that rural demand is already doing well and remains strong, while urban markets are facing pressure and are likely to stay under strain until the first half of FY26. However, urban demand is expected to start improving from the second half of FY26, the report stated. In terms of volume growth, rural regions have shown remarkable performance. For the fourth consecutive quarter, rural areas have grown more than twice as fast as urban regions. In Q4FY25, rural FMCG volumes grew by 8.4 per cent, while urban volume growth stood at 2.6 per cent, it said. The report also highlighted that the FMCG sector volumes in Q4FY25 saw rural growth being three times higher than urban areas. Initial data for Q1FY26 suggests a similar trend is likely to continue. Overall, the consumer sector grew 11 per cent year-on-year (YoY) by value in Q4FY25, compared to 10.6 per cent YoY in Q3FY25. Pricing growth was reported at 5.6 per cent, while overall volumes expanded by 5.1 per cent YoY, a slight decline from the 7.1 per cent YoY growth recorded in Q3FY25. Despite the positive performance in rural markets, the FMCG sector saw a significant selloff by foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in the first half of June 2025. According to the report, FMCG recorded the highest outflows of Rs 36.3 billion, after receiving net inflows worth Rs 8.2 billion in May. Until May, the sector witnessed sales worth over Rs 140 billion. The report added that FPIs showed a strong inclination towards rate-sensitive and beta plays, contributing to the withdrawal from FMCG stocks. (ANI)
