Zambia determined to find another investor for Konkola mine: Mines Minister

Image
The Zambian government is determined to "urgently secure" an investor for Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) once the court processes over the disputed liquidation of the mine are concluded, the mines minister said on Thursday. Vedanta Resources has been locked in a dispute with the Zambian government since May when Lusaka appointed a liquidator to run KCM, which is 20% owned by Zambia's state mining company ZCCM-IH and the rest by Vedanta. "I would like to categorically state that, much as the Konkola Copper Mines matter is in court, the government is willing to listen to any progressive talks that will facilitate an amicable exit of the investor," Minister of Mines and Minerals Development Richard Musukwa said in a statement. "Government is determined, once the court processes are concluded to urgently secure a credible investor in an open and transparent manner."

What is the way out of the current slowdown?

Image
Substitution of a large part of our import basket by indigenous manufacturing and attracting FDI in select large projects with predictable return could kickstart a virtuous cycle. Monetary stimulus so far has had little impact The current slowdown is more structural than cyclical India bypassing manufacturing to a service-led economy has hurt job creation Make in India should be taken up on a war footing The focus should be on the substitution of imports by domestic manufacturing Identity large projects, provide all clearances and invite FDI with a predictable return This could help start a virtuous cycle The economic slowdown is clearly the talk of the town from boardrooms to bazaars. While financial markets and businesses are looking to the government to salvage the situation which is now hurting industries ranging from automobiles to soaps, shampoos and biscuits, nobody really knows what is needed to come out of the mess.

Dorimalai mine loss is a body blow for NMDC

Image
NMDC Ltd’s loss of the Dorimalai mine in Karnataka has cast a shadow over its business model and could further hurt the stock’s valuation.  NMDC shares have already lost 12.7% of their value in the past two days due to the state government’s move. The Karnataka government’s cancellation of the mine lease to NMDC will not only reduce the mining giant’s capacity but also increase its cost of acquiring a new lease. The state government is likely to offer the mine under e-auction again, which could raise its bidding cost. Earlier, NMDC had halted production at the mine after the state government renewed the lease with a condition of payment of 80% of the sale value as lease rental. NMDC won an appeal in the high court and the order was set aside. Production at the mine was expected to resume soon. However, the state government has once again cancelled the allotment and put up the mine for e-auction. The Donimalai mine contributes about 6mtpa capacity or around...

'Short-term traders should stay away from taking bullish call on HDFC'

Image
Our advice to traders and short-term traders is to stay away in taking bullish call for the next few weeks on HDFC. In the truncated week, the market managed well to sustain above its crucial support placed at 11,000 amid uncertain global cues and disappointments from domestic developments. Bulls helped the Nifty to pull out from the lows of 10,900-10,940 to close the week at 11,048, which is positive for the market. However, on a weekly basis, the index closed in the red. A couple of weeks prior, Nifty closed 1.97 percent higher than was the first positive close, and after that, we saw four consecutive weeks of fall that resulted in a damage of nearly 900 points. In the previous week, even though, the flows were not satisfactory, Nifty managed to sustain above 10,785, which was the lowest of the current sell-off. If the index has to surpass 11,181 which is the recent swing high, it requires some more fuel. In the previous week, the Nifty neither broke the l...

Image

Shares of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries rallied 4.7 percent intraday on August 19 after the US health regulator classified the company's Halol plant as 'No Action Indicated'.

'Narrowed trade deficit, all-time high forex reserve can boost rupee'

Image
The rupee has been Asia's worst performer in August but a string of positive news could arrest the fall in the coming days. After a long phase of consolidation, the USDINR, as expected, continued the up move in the previous week too. Though the bulls opted for profit booking at higher levels and on a weekly basis, the currency pair closed off the week high but still gained 86 paise. The dollar has appreciated more than 3.3 percent the last three weeks but the currency pair is likely to settle down at current levels and minor dip is also not ruled out. The huge rally of the last three weeks is now showing signs of abating, as prices formed “island reversal” candlestick pattern on the daily chart basis. Long positions should be avoided as there is a gap on daily as well as weekly chart and currency pair is trading far away from its 20-day moving average (DMA). Generally, any extraordinary change in price is settled down near its 20 DMA and in this case, i...

Image
