India Battered by Global Storm [view article]
If the Indian economy can still grow based on domestic demand, this global downturn can be advantageous to it. The price of gasoline will fall as there will be less demand for it globally. Since India is a net importer this benefits it. But what will the falling demand for service (software etc.( do to Indian export income? ReplyIndia Battered by Global Storm [view article]
"The problems which are hitting the Indian economy at the moment, from the rapid rise in inflation to the sudden withdrawal of sentiment have a common origin: the dynamics of the global economy, and it is to these we must now look if we are to be able to sort the wood from the trees about what happens next. Basically, when the dust settles, "These are questions that every country in the world is going to have in the next year or two... "Where do we stand relative to everyone else now that the world economy has been drastically reshuffled?" Reply

India Battered by Global Storm [view article]
This analysis is incisive! It implicitly focuses the reader on the essentials in the differences between the economies (and problems) of that of India with those of an emerging China. Or shall we say developed China!The Indian (and also Brazil, perhaps) industrial growth story is still preserved though at a slower pace while that of China faces a significant slowdown or marginal decline. China's economy is much more meshed in with the larger global economy due to heavy export dependency, while India's is less so. The effect of commodities is larger on the Indian economy since it weighs in at heavier relative level in its consumption and much of it based on imports. Thus the effects of commoditities recently on Indian inflation based on this dependency has been much larger. Perhaps, with the fall in commodity prices globally there soon woul be significant relief from inflation for the Indian economy.
India is also likely to see significant pick-up in investments after the elections expected soon in development of its infrastructure which has been subpar in recent years. The authror's suggestion of the likelihood of the preservatgion of India's growth story is plausible. I would bet that it is highly likely. The one area of concern is in India's poor track record for development and growth of its farm sector and agri-industry.

Great article, with good supporting datasets on India.I agree with you, when a storm blows, everyone will be affected.
But India is fundamentally an inward looking economy which means that the global turmoil will be tempered there.
For long term investors, IBN at $20 is really cheap. Reply

i am very confident of the greatest economist in the world our brightest prime minister manmohan singh whose vision has brought us these far.we indians have to be united and positive no matter what we are the greatest minds of the 21st century.no country in the world is perfect but we are making progress and we will be the superpower in 2050 or sooner.we have to think of our poor people and help them out so they can afford the same luxury everyone is having and for that the government should take bold steps for them.we have to make progress in space research and compete with china and be the leader.our country should be innovator like build some fantastic operating system build some great use of computer and show the world we can invent.we are the greatest minds why should we be working for the world why not the world pays us the money for using our technology.

The Indian Economy and Gold Imports [view article]
Wow! What hatred for India! It almost looks like the author has been waiting 5 years to write this article. Why are there always so many Indians who don't want to believe that there can ever be anything good about India?When I was a child in the 90s, my parents and neighbours, like most middle class babus were the embodiment of everything that used to be wrong with our country... in other words their worldview was the following:
a. The "Britishers" were best (the term applies to anyone white)
b. The people in the West, however, are morally inferior because they have lots of pre-marital sex.
With this mentality, India can never succeed because every sentence that we make begins or ends with "for a poor nation like India". In the post 2000 era, I was a young man and it took me a while to realize that my own country is the next big thing.
I fell hook, line and sinker for the "India Shining" campaign. But most of the India baiters like you didn't. You guys really loved 2004, didn't you? Because all you want to hear is that India can never be successful. But the events since then have belied you completely. You saw how India rose to height after height; you saw the arrogant Americans come to embrace India. And you hated it; because deep down you want to be a slave.
And so you take this one opportunity after four long years. The US economy suffers; India takes a few knocks and immediately you are out on your "hate India" campaign. All the bitterness of being proven wrong every day for five years is beginning to show.
Thankfully, the youth of India knows better than to fall for lying losers like you. India is not sick, but I am sick of people like you.
I suggest you see a therapist. Try this: sit in a room quietly for twenty minutes, collecting all your negative thoughts. Then rush to the bathroom and spit out violently. Turn on the sink and imagine the negative thoughts disappearing. This will help.

FLYLOW, Philman and CTA: Thanks for your comments.Yeah, CTA, we also noticed the low correlation of CYT with the Yuan. Bummer!
By the way, Barclays just launched another bundled currency ETN-
(Barclays GEMS Asia 8 ETN. Symbol on NYSE Arca- AYT). This ETN bundles eight Asian currencies making it a bit too region specific for my tastes. I find JEM a much better world-wide diversified play with a significantly higher yield.
Murray Coleman of IndexUniverse wrote an excellent post about AYT last week which is an excellent overview worth reading if you are following or utilizing currency ETFs/ETNs: (www.indexuniverse.com/...)

New Emerging Asian Currency ETN Focuses on 'Current Income' [view article]
I also consider this fund a risky venture for investors. Most people are being told that the US dollar will be worthless.. So they buy currencies like Euro, yen, pound etc. But these currencies do not offer high yields. So let's go for emerging markets currencies. What could go wrong there?The current high yield is there for a reason. When a crisis like the 1997-1998 comes your way and when everyone tries to leave these thinly ( by forex standards) traded currency markets the yields will be even higher. But the principal will be lost.. Reply

The WisdomTree Chinese Yuan Fund doesn't seem to be following the Yuan very closely ... based on my analysis, the fund has an approximately .69 correlation with the Yuan. Not very impressive.For comparison, a while back I did some analysis on the British Pound ETF and I think that had a perfect 1.00 correlation with the fund Reply
