The rupee depreciated 30 paise to 95.84 against the US dollar in early trade on Tuesday on elevated Brent crude oil prices and heightened Middle East tensions. With Brent crude touching $106 per barrel, increased dollar demand from oil importers raised concerns over India's external balance and inflation, forex traders said. At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 95.84 against the US dollar, registering a loss of 30 paise from its previous close. On Friday, the rupee had settled at 95.54 against the American currency. Forex and equity markets were closed on Monday on account of Ganesh Chaturthi. The surge in crude oil prices and heightened tensions in the Middle East have increased safe-haven demand for the dollar and pushed US Treasury yields higher, said Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading at 99.60 higher by 0.21 per cent. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, was trading higher by 1.19 per cent at $106.94 per barrel in futures trade, amid escalating US-Iran tensions and fears of disruption to oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. The Sensex climbed 233.66 points to 75,022.37 in early trade while Nifty rose 63.85 points to 23,462.30. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹930.90 crore on a net basis on Friday, according to exchange data.

CoinEx said falling trading volumes and liquidity, along with rising regulatory and compliance costs, had exceeded “reasonable boundaries,” with withdrawals remaining open until Dec. 22. Crypto exchange CoinEx said it is winding down operations, citing a prolonged crypto market downturn, sinking trading volumes and liquidity, and rising regulatory and compliance costs, according to an announcement on Tuesday. As part of the wind-down, CoinEx will halt new user registrations, referral commissions and other rewards. Futures contracts will enter a “Reduce-Only” mode. CoinEx will also stop accepting new orders or subscriptions across its fiat, margin trading, lending, earn, staking and strategic trading services. “After much reflection, I have come to accept a hard truth. CoinEx did not become one of the industry’s leading exchanges, and the security and compliance risks of running a crypto exchange have become increasingly difficult to contain,” CoinEx CEO Haipo Yang said in a post on X. The closure adds to a wave of crypto exchanges that have ceased operations this year for similar reasons, including BitMart, BitMEX and AscendEX. From Sept. 22, CoinEx will discontinue all non-spot services and onchain deposits, with the exception of CET deposits. From Sept. 29, all spot trading services will be discontinued, and non-USDT assets will be processed. From Dec. 22, the withdrawal period will end, and the platform will cease operations. Any unwithdrawn USDT will be transferred to an independent custodian, which will incur a monthly custody fee. CoinEx will also buy back CET at its initial listing price of 0.005 USDT per token, a slightly higher price than it was on Monday before the announcement. Related: BitMEX to shut down after 11 years in crypto derivatives CoinEx Wallet and CoinEx Vault will remain fully operational, as they operate independently of the exchange. CoinEx was launched in December 2017 by crypto mining pool ViaBTC. The crypto exchange is ranked 33rd with $58 million in 24-hour trading volume, according to CoinMarketCap. “To every user who has trusted and supported us over the past nine years, thank you for your trust and support in the past nine years. Thank you for being part of our journey.”

August data reveals a widening gap between surging industrial output and anemic retail sales, raising fresh questions about the sustainability of China's growth model. China’s economy is doing two things at once, and they don’t add up. Factories are humming along at their fastest clip in months while the country’s consumers are barely opening their wallets. The latest data from China’s National Bureau of Statistics, released on September 15, paints a picture of an economy that’s increasingly lopsided. Industrial output jumped 5.2% year-over-year in August, comfortably beating July’s 4.5% pace and the consensus forecast of 4.8%. Retail sales, on the other hand, crawled forward at just 0.4%, down from an already tepid 0.6% in July and well short of the 0.8% economists had penciled in. Gloria Your portfolio shows you what you own. Gloria Finance shows you what's worth looking at next. Discover ideas → Advertisement The numbers tell a split-screen story The consumption side looks even worse in context. Retail sales actually contracted 0.6% back in May, marking the first outright decline since late 2022. August’s meager 0.4% growth barely qualifies as a recovery from that stumble. Fixed-asset investment, the third pillar of economic data released alongside the other figures, offered no comfort. The category contracted 7.2% during the January-to-August period, a deterioration from the 6.7% decline recorded through July. Macro, rates, and crypto—what moved markets and what matters next.

Property investment has been the most dramatic casualty. The sector saw a nearly 20% year-over-year decline across the first eight months of the year, a staggering drop that continues to ripple through household balance sheets and consumer confidence. Why consumers aren’t spending The property connection matters because, for most Chinese households, real estate represents the bulk of their wealth. When property values crater, people feel poorer. When people feel poorer, they spend less. When they spend less, retail sales flatline. Officials have acknowledged the problem in unusually direct terms. Government statements have pointed to acute pressure from what they describe as a strong supply versus weak demand imbalance domestically. That’s bureaucratic language for something fairly alarming: factories are cranking out goods that Chinese consumers can’t or won’t buy, and the gap is getting wider.

Gold Price by End of December China has reportedly purchased more gold than officially recorded, according to ZeroHedge. The report indicates that in July, central banks globally bought 44 tonnes of gold, with China leading by acquiring 35 tonnes through undisclosed channels. This discrepancy suggests China’s gold acquisition is more aggressive than its official statements, with implications for global gold markets. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has been consistently increasing its gold reserves, officially adding about 20 tonnes in July. This aligns with a broader trend of central banks accumulating gold, as reported by the World Gold Council. Market analysts are closely monitoring these developments, as the additional gold purchases by China could indicate a strategic shift in reserve management, potentially influencing future gold price movements. Gloria Flexible superpowers for every investor — best-in-class data, algorithms, and AI-powered research, together in Gloria Finance. Research smarter → Advertisement In prediction markets, the possibility of gold reaching $15,000 by the end of December 2026 remains low, currently priced at around 0.4% YES. However, the report of China’s increased gold acquisition may indicate rising demand that could support higher gold prices in the future. Market participants appear to be weighing these factors, as evidenced by the slight changes in market odds over the past week. Key Takeaways The report suggests that China is acquiring more gold than officially recorded, indicating stronger demand. Central banks, led by China, bought a significant amount of gold in July, aligning with a trend of accumulation. Markets appear to be assessing the impact of China’s gold purchases on future price movements. What to Watch Observers should monitor further announcements from the People’s Bank of China regarding its gold reserves, as additional disclosures could influence market expectations. Central bank purchasing patterns, particularly from China, will be crucial indicators for future gold price movements. Any geopolitical developments or shifts in monetary policy that could affect gold demand will also be important to watch in the coming months.

Asian shares struggled on Tuesday as investors weighed West Asia tensions and calls by industry figures for a slowdown in AI development, while elevated oil prices and higher bond yields added ​to caution before key central bank meetings in the US and Japan. Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis ​launched a new attack on Saudi Arabia on Monday, after Riyadh blamed Iran-backed fighters in Iraq for an ‌attack on the kingdom's east-west pipeline that it said could disrupt as much as 4% of global oil supply. Gulf Arab states also postponed planned talks with Iran. Renewed supply concerns kept markets on edge, with US crude rising 1.27% to $102.68 a barrel while Brent was up 1.21% to $106.96 per barrel. "Markets are likely to remain focused on the risk that higher crude oil prices could add to inflationary pressures and, in turn, push interest rates higher," said Yokoo Akihiko, analyst at Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, in a note. Calls by leading AI figures to slow development continued to reverberate through markets even as US President Donald Trump played down concerns over misuse of the technology, saying existing US safeguards were adequate and that China would benefit from doubts over AI development. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down ‌0.12%, led by South Korea's 0.25% dip. Japan's Nikkei edged 0.19% higher after reversing early losses. Chip-related shares were mixed, with South Korea's Samsung Electronics losing 0.2% while Japan's Kioxia gained 3.3%. The Federal Open Market Committee begins its two-day meeting later in the day, with markets pricing in a 90% chance of a rate hike that would mark the Fed's first increase since mid-2023. "While inflation continues to decelerate, recent upside surprises mean the pace of disinflation has been slower and less convincing than" the Fed likely requires, analysts at Morgan Stanley said in a report, expecting a 25 basis-point hike on Wednesday and ​in December. "We see arguments for both a hike and a hold, but signs of second-round effects from energy prices, strong demand tied ‌to AI-related investment, a neutral rate that is possibly temporarily higher, and concerns about credibility mean the balance of risks now argues for a somewhat more restrictive policy." Overnight, benchmark 10-year US Treasury yields touched 5% for the first time ​since 2023, while ‌Germany's 10-year bond yield climbed above 3.51%, its highest level since 2009. On Tuesday, Japan's benchmark 10-year government bond yield popped back ‌to 3%. The Bank of Japan is widely expected to raise its interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25% at the end of its two-day meeting on Friday and signal more tightening ahead. Policymakers are seeking to shore ‌up the ​yen after intervention ​helped steer the currency away from a 40-year low. In currency markets, the dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies including the yen and the euro, rose 0.05% to 99.53, with the ‌euro down 0.03% at $1.1543. Against the ​Japanese yen, the dollar advanced 0.17% to 154.61. Spot gold eased 0.15% to $4,291.59 an ounce, while spot silver fell 0.31% to $63.03 an ounce.
