2014 maintains status quo on interest rates

 

The year 2014 was characterised by falling prices of oil and gold, leading to a reduction in inflation. However, India maintained its status quo on interest rates.
The key benchmark rates i.e. the repo rate, reverse repo rate and the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) were maintained at the levels of 8%, 7% and 4%, respectively.

 

 

These rates last saw a revision in October 2013 when the new Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Raghuram Rajan increased the rates by 50 basis points.

Although the level of inflation (as measured by the CPI) halved during the year-from 10% in January 2014 to 4.38% in November 2014-Rajan was still not in the mood to cut interest rates in his fifth bi-monthly monetary policy in December 2014.
He has, instead, adopted a wait-and-watch approach to ensure that inflation doesn't start moving up again since food inflation has been consistently high.
Food inflation has been hovering at 10% in the last five years.
Having said that, due to the yield attractiveness, Indian bonds are trading at 8% compared to 2.4% in the US, thereby attracting record inflows of $25 billion from Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) in 2014.
FULL COVERAGE: Newsmakers in 2014

This is likely to cross $30 billion by the end of the calendar year.
In spite of no change in interest rate movements, the benchmark 10-year bond yield has fallen from a high of 8.9% in January 2014 to 7.9% in December 2014, owing to lower inflation, falling crude oil prices, fall in vegetable prices and an imminent rate cut expectation.
In fact, this has led to debt mutual funds delivering double-digit returns for the year.
The longer tenure bond and gilt funds have significantly outperformed the shorter tenure ones.
The income fund category, for instance, has returned 13% in the last one year while gilt funds have returned 17% on an average compared to 11% return delivered by short-term debt funds and 9.5% returns of short-term gilt funds.
Falling interest rates and yields are good news for bond investors as interest rates and bond prices share an inverse relationship, hence any fall in rate and yield will lead to an appreciation in bond prices hence the NAVs of bond funds and vice a versa.
Inflation is expected to hover in the band of 5% to 6% levels in the next calendar year compared with 8% levels in 2014, which would easily meet RBI's target of 6% for March 2015.
Based on these hopes, the market can look for 50-100 basis cut in policy rates by the RBI.
This can also result in bond yields moving down by another 50 basis points in 2015, with the ten-year bonds expect to trade in the band of 7.25 %-7.50 % levels by the end of 2015 from 8% ten year rates prevailing in the markets.
Following the cues, lending and deposit rates have too started to soften by about 10bps-20bps.
However, there has been no significant change considering credit growth has been rather slow, increasing only 10% in the year to November 2014, the lowest since 2009.

Computer

A computer is a general purpose device that can be programmed to carry out a set of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. Since a sequence of operations can be readily changed, the computer can solve more than one kind of problem.

Conventionally, a computer consists of at least one processing element, typically a central processing unit (CPU), and some form of memory. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logic operations, and a sequencing and control unit can change the order of operations in response to stored information. Peripheral devices allow information to be retrieved from an external source, and the result of operations saved and retrieved.
Contrary to popular belief, computers existed from antiquity. Any tool used for calculation could be referred to as a computer. The earliest computers were tally sticks in use since around 20,000 BC. Mechanical analog computers started appearing in first century and were used in medieval era for astronomical calculations. In World War II, mechanical analog computers were used for specialized military applications. During this time the first electronic digital computers were developed. Originally they were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs).^[1]
Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space.^[2] Simple computers are small enough to fit into mobile devices, and mobile computers can be powered by small batteries. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as “computers.” However, the embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are the most numerous.
