INTELLECTUAL TRADING

  Every market has that one indicator which quietly tells you whether the trend is changing. In commodities, the Gold-Silver Ratio is one such silent messenger. We all remember that silver was the star of the commodity boom in 2011. Traders talked about goals, momentum, and the "new normal." During that phase, the Gold-Silver Ratio was falling, which was a clear sign that silver was doing better than gold. Traders were very hopeful about growth. And like 1980s, the cycle ended, the 2011 rally ended in a similar manner. The reason may be different, but the impact was the same. What is the Gold-Silver Ratio? To get the Gold-Silver Ratio, you divide the price of gold by the price of silver. The ratio is 80 if gold costs $2,000 and silver costs $25. That means you need 80 ounces of silver to buy one ounce of gold. It sounds like simple maths. But in markets, simple numbers can mean a lot. A higher ratio means that gold is doing better than silver. If the ratio goes down, it means...

 India and the US have inked the trade deal, with Washington slashing the reciprocal tariffs with " immediate effect". Thanks to the deal India now faces the lowest US tariffs among all EMs. With the tariff burden now lower, sectors such as textiles, seafood, auto ancillaries, chemicals and select consumer companies with significant exposure to the US are likely to be the key beneficiaries.   Earlier, steep tariffs of up to 50% had come into effect from August 27, creating cost pressures and dampening demand for Indian goods in the US market. With the tariff burden now lower, companies with significant exposure to the US are expected to see relief in margins, improved competitiveness and better order visibility. Sectors and companies in focus Textiles sector will be the highest beneficiary for the landmark pact as the US accounts for nearly 28% of India's total textile exports, making it the single largest destination for Indian textile manufacturers. More than half of In...

  Mutual funds were considered an easy way to invest. And to a large extent, they are. However, it's not as simple as it appears. For first-time and do-it-yourself investors, the initial process can be daunting. This difficulty begins with the sheer number (2,000+) of mutual fund schemes available. Furthermore, these schemes are categorized into equity schemes , debt funds , hybrid schemes , and other categories. Even within each category, the choices multiply quickly, with subcategories such as flexi-cap funds , large-cap funds , multi-cap funds , and many others within the equity scheme category. Today, investing in mutual funds is as frictionless as ordering food through a mobile app. Investors often end up choosing schemes purely based on past returns. Meanwhile, the process of analysing whether the fund aligns with their risk tolerance , time horizon, or long-term financial goals is ignored. In this editorial, we compare multi-cap and flexi-cap funds to help you ma...
