1) SEBI Proposes New Rules on ETFs (Equity, Gold & Silver) :
SEBI is planning to introduce new rules for ETFs, including equity ETFs and gold & silver ETFs.
-
For Equity ETFs, SEBI wants to introduce an upper and lower circuit limit of 10% in a day.
-
For Gold and Silver ETFs, the proposed daily limit would be 9%.
-
If the price change reaches 20% in a single day, trading will be stopped.
Additionally, the settlement cycle system is being updated from T+2 to T+1.
👉 Important: SEBI has not mentioned the exact date from which these rules will be implemented. As of now, this is only a proposal based on information from multiple sources.
2)Why Are Gold and Silver Falling? What Analysts Think :
According to an economic report, analysts believe that gold and silver prices may see some downside.
Here are the key reasons:
-
🇨🇳 China markets are closed from February 15 to February 23 due to the Lunar New Year holiday.
-
Because of this, Chinese traders are lightening their positions by selling some holdings before the long break.
-
This has created some selling pressure in gold and silver.
Other factors that may push prices lower:
-
If the US dollar becomes stronger
-
If interest rates remain high or increase
If both of these happen, gold and silver could face further downside.
3) AI Summit Begins – Impact on Indian IT Companies :
From today, the AI Summit has started and will continue until Friday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the summit.
Representatives from companies like ChatGPT and Anthropic are expected to speak and share insights on AI developments.
UBS Report on AI & Indian IT Sector
UBS released a report stating that AI will transform Indian IT companies.
However, currently:
-
Indian IT stocks are falling.
-
If AI reduces software jobs, previous revenue levels may decline.
- Lower revenues could impact profits of Indian IT companies.
But the report also clearly mentions:
Indian IT companies will slow down, not become zero.
If they adapt to AI and develop new AI-based products and services, it can become a major advantage for them again.
