New data released on Friday showed the personal consumption expenditures price index rising in September at a 4.4 percent annual rate versus 4.2 percent in August, continuing a run of inflation at levels not seen in 30 years

The inflation debate is going to shift to wages very, very quickly," Lazar said, and whether increases in productivity and an increase in the number of people looking for work help ease rising compensation costs or temper their potential impact on prices.

The U.S. central bank meets next week to update its views about monetary policy, as officials balance their hope to support the economy with low interest rates for as long as possible against concerns inflation may be moving too fast.

Here's how the inflation story has evolved:

Higher prices ahead

Fed officials knew early this year that inflation would rise as the global economy rebounded from the pandemic. But where some economists felt record levels of federal spending would produce persistent price increases, most Fed officials expected a fleeting episode driven at first by simple math - the "base effects" of a weak economy returning to normal - along with some inevitable bumps in the reopening.

At their March 16-17 policy meeting, Fed officials marked up their inflation outlook for 2021. Powell, speaking in a news conference after the release of the policy statement and economic projections, said those "relatively modest increases in inflation ... will turn out to be a one-time sort of bulge ... There was a time when inflation went up, it would stay up. And that time is not now."

By September, however, inflation was running at twice the Fed's 2 percent target, and officials' projections moved higher.

Powell's own language shifted. "As the reopening continues, bottlenecks, hiring difficulties, and other constraints could again prove to be greater and longer lasting than anticipated, posing upside risks to inflation," he told reporters after the end of the central bank's Sept. 21-22 policy meeting.

Some policymakers have pinpointed the end of the year as the moment when inflation needs to ease, or they'll worry they got it wrong.

Powell and many others still think that will happen, but on a longer timetable than first anticipated, with September data showing little evidence of the expected slowdown.

Broad-based increases?

"The spike in inflation is so far largely the product of a relatively narrow group of goods and services that have been directly affected by the pandemic and the reopening of the economy," Powell said in his August remarks.

He cited the fact that alternate inflation measures which toss out the strongest price influences remained moderate. But those measures have moved higher since he spoke, reflecting broader price increases.

Waning influence of outliers

Policymakers, Powell said, are also "directly monitoring the prices of particular goods and services most affected by the pandemic and the reopening, and are beginning to see a moderation in some cases."

Powell cited the well-known example of used autos. Used vehicle prices rose at a record pace over the summer, and that has in fact eased. But he also mentioned that price hikes for durable goods in general should moderate, and by some measures that has not yet happened. Inflation for durable goods rose 7.3 percent in September on an annual basis, versus 7 percent in August.

Wages

"Today we see little evidence of wage increases that might threaten excessive inflation," Powell said in August. "We will continue to monitor this carefully."

The costs of compensation jumped 1.3 percent for the three months ending in September, the largest increase since 2001, leaving the Fed to assess whether the adjustment of labor supply and demand is near its end, or only beginning. Compensation costs for the hard-hit food and accommodations industry rose more than 7 percent on an annual basis.

Expectations

"Longer-term inflation expectations have moved much less than actual inflation or near-term expectations, suggesting that households, businesses, and market participants also believe that current high inflation readings are likely to prove transitory," Powell said. An argument can be made that the Fed is paying more attention to expectations than inflation itself, though measurement of them is less certain. They have been drifting higher, and if that continues it would be of particular concern.

'Global disinflationary factors'

Perhaps the most faith-based aspect of Powell's August speech was his reference to the global influence of technology, demographics, and smooth world supply chains in anchoring prices.

"While the underlying global disinflationary factors are likely to evolve over time, there is little reason to think that they have suddenly reversed or abated," Powell said. "It seems more likely that they will continue to weigh on inflation as the pandemic passes into history." The truth of that will depend on developments far outside the Fed's control, from the global flow of capital to China, for example, as the rule of Chinese leader Xi Jinping evolves, to the impact of climate change mitigation efforts that are still in their infancy.

Mark Zuckerberg clarifies why Facebook is rebranding as Meta

Mark Zuckerberg predicts that Metaverse will not going to be “huge” until the second half of this decade at earliest as the median median age of the people who use the company’s products gets older.

Facebook has now officially changed its identity to Meta reflecting the company’s broader ambitions related to metaverse, dubbed as the next big computing platform.

According to Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook is perceived as only a social media company but has now become more than that. He believes that while others are trying to work on how people interact with technology, the company, now called Meta, is striving to build technologies so that people can interact with each other.

According to Zuckerberg, while many would question the timing of the metaverse conversation amid the recent controversy, he said that he believes in “what we are building and technology can make life better”.

A trove of internal documents leaked by a Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen detailed the social giant's various missteps and struggle in moderating content, especially in multilingual countries like India, its biggest market with over 340 million users.

The idea of metaverse is to make it more immersive where, instead of communicating through the mobile apps, people can feel each other’s presence.

This would mean digital avatars, one each for different occasions, creating your own space, making it easy to teleport from one platform to another, and also building security and safety features built into the platform. One can get into the metaverse through virtual reality platforms, AR glasses, computer or even phone. The company already has its own virtual reality platform, Horizon, an online gaming tool.

Here are more details on ambitions of Meta

Speaking on the reason behind the rebrand, Zuckerberg told The Verge in an interview that after acquisition of apps including Instagram and Whatsapp, there was “a lot of confusion and awkwardness about having the company brand be also the brand of one of the social media apps.”

“That’s a concern that I think people shouldn’t have to have. People had concerns that, “If I sign into Instagram with this or if I sign into WhatsApp with it, does that mean that my data is somehow gonna get shared over here in a way that I didn’t want?” he added.

Zuckerberg said that while there's financial reporting and segment reporting but the company isn’t making organisation changes yet. “That might be something that I’ll consider in the future, but I don’t think that’s something that’s near term on the horizon,” he said.

Zuckerberg said that he sees himself as the CEO of the company in the next five years and has no plans to step down. “And I’m pretty young. I have a lot of energy. But certainly at some point I’m not [going to be] running the company,” he told the publication.

Zuckerberg said that the timing of the rebranding effort has nothing to do with the recent leaks that has left the company’s reputation surrounded by bad press. It had “nothing to bear on this. Even though I think some people might want to make that connection, I think that’s sort of a ridiculous thing. If anything, I think that this is not the environment that you would want to introduce a new brand in.”

Zuckerberg predicts that Metaverse will not be “huge” until the second half of this decade at earliest as the median median age of the people who use the company’s products gets older. He said that the target demographic will be young adults from 18 to 29 years of age.

Asked about whether Metaverse will support NFTs, smart contracts and cryptocurrencies, Zuckerberg told The Verge that the company is supportive of it.

“One of the big questions that people are going to have about virtual goods in the metaverse is, “Do I really get to own this thing? Or is it just content that someone can basically just take away from me in the future?” And I’m pretty sensitive to that, given all the pressures that we’ve had to try to navigate around censorship and what’s the definition of something that’s harmful versus when you have to get in the way of people being able to express something,” he said adding that it becomes a lot more sensitive when there’s money and ownership involved.

India's gold demand bouncing back to pre-COVID levels, rises 47% in September quarter to 139 tonnes: WGC

28. October 2021 Sandeep Stock Market Research (0)

India’s gold demand has seen a 47 per cent year-on-year jump in the July-September quarter to 139.1 tonnes, following strong rebound in economic activity and recovering consumer demand, the World Gold Council said in a report.

According to the World Gold Council (WGC), gold demand in India is bouncing back to pre-COVID levels and going forward the outlook looks bullish.

The country’s overall demand stood at 94.6 tonnes during the September quarter of 2020, the WGC’s Q3 Gold Demand Trends 2021 report said, adding that in terms of value, India’s third quarter gold demand went up by 37 per cent to Rs 59,330 crore, compared to Rs 43,160 crore a year ago.

"This reflects a combination of low base effect and return of positive trade and consumer sentiments. This is primarily driven by what appears to be a firm grip on the pandemic with higher vaccination rates and falling infection rates, leading to a strong rebound in economic activity,” WGC Regional CEO, India, Somasundaram PR told PTI.

Going forward, imports might not be very significant in the fourth quarter as little bit of stocking up for the festive season has already taken place during the third quarter of 2021, he stated.

"Looking ahead with restrictions being gradually lifted across the country, retail demand is bouncing back to pre-COVID levels. With the upcoming festive and wedding season, there is all the more enthusiasm towards gold demand, and we anticipate it to be the busiest gold-buying season since the start of COVID,” said Somasundaram.

He further said that demand for digital gold has also increased manifold, innovative tech initiatives, tie-ups with digital gold and UPI platforms by leading jewellers has brought about a substantial increase in volume of buyers and investors preferring online purchases.

"In the months ahead, soaring commodity prices and logistical costs are expected to impose further pressures and the RBI has already adjusted its inflation expectations higher. Rising inflation tends to drive gold demand.

"Gold is perceived as a strong hedge against inflation and decades of data supports this assumption. While we have not made any forecast for the rest of the year, barring any unexpected twist in tale, we could see a sharp spike in demand in the last quarter of 2021, and is likely to be one of the best quarters in a decade,” he added.

As per the report, total jewellery demand in India for the quarter under review increased by 58 per cent to 96.2 tonnes, compared to 60.8 tonnes during the July-September quarter of 2020.

While in value, jewellery demand grew by 48 per cent at Rs 41,030 crore, as against Rs 27,750 crore a year ago.

Total Investment demand for the third quarter increased by 27 per cent to 42.9 tonnes, from 33.8 tonnes in the same quarter of 2020.

In value terms, gold Investment demand in July-September went up 19 per cent to Rs 18,300 crore, from Rs 15,410 crore a year ago, according to the report.

Meanwhile, the total gold recycled in India declined by 50 per cent to 20.7 tonnes in the period under review, compared to 41.5 tonnes in the same period of last year.

Total net bullion imports, without taxes, in the third quarter surged by 187 per cent to 255.6 tonnes, from 89 tonnes in the same quarter of 2020.

"While gold jewellery and investment demand for bars and coins also grew in a quarter that tends to be seasonally subdued due to monsoons and inauspicious periods like Pitru-Paksha when buyers stay away from buying gold. Softer gold prices have also generated significant consumer interest ahead of seasonal demand,” Somasundaram said.

Gold prices during the third quarter averaged at Rs 42,635 per 10 grams, compared to Rs 45,640 in the same quarter of 2020 and Rs 43,076 during the April-June 2021, he noted.

Also Read:- What is the key purpose to invest in the stocks?

Trade activity witnessed during various buyer-seller meets and anecdotal feedback from manufacturers indicate that the fourth quarter festive season could be the best in several years, with strong imports much ahead of the third quarter demand demand, he noted.

He said a 50 per cent drop in gold recycling also underlines strong consumer intent to hold gold rather than sell it, aided by a robust institutional market for loan against gold that continues to grow.

Filing returns under the presumptive taxation scheme? You must continue doing so for five years

In case an assessee fails to do so in any year, he shall not be allowed to file return under PTS for the subsequent five years, and shall also be required to get the accounts audited in that year if income exceeds the threshold

In order to make tax filing simpler for small businessmen and professionals, the presumptive taxation scheme was introduced. Under this scheme, you are not required to maintain books of accounts. Instead, your income is calculated on a presumptive basis, provided your turnover is below a stipulated limit. Here are the details.

What is the presumptive taxation scheme?

As per the Income-tax Act, 1961, businessmen and professionals must maintain regular books of accounts. They must also get their accounts audited and file income-tax returns (ITRs). However, in order to give relief to small taxpayers, the presumptive taxation scheme (PTS) was put together.

“The exemption from maintaining books of accounts was a big relief to small taxpayers who had found it difficult to maintain them and had to bear additional costs,” says Shailesh Kumar, partner, Nangia & Co LLP.

A person adopting this scheme to file the return can declare income at a prescribed rate and, in turn, is relieved from the tedious job of maintenance of books of accounts and also from getting the accounts audited. However, in order to calculate the turnover, one still needs to maintain some books of accounts. “Further they also need to maintain debtors, Cash and Bank accounts,” says Vivek Jalan of Tax Connect Advisory Services LLP, a consulting firm.

Who can opt for the presumptive taxation scheme?

The scheme is defined under three different sections—44AD, 44ADA and 44AE—of the Income-tax Act, depending on the type of businesses and professions. “The framework of the presumptive taxation scheme was initially operating for taxpayers having specified business (under section 44AD) or engaged in plying, leasing or hiring trucks (section 44AE). However, with effect from April 1, 2017, the presumptive scheme was extended to professionals (section 44ADA) also,” says Kumar.

Also read: The government receives Rs 533 crore in dividends from four CPSEs.

Section 44AD of the Act, applies to resident individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUF) and partnership firms (excluding limited liability partnerships or LLPs) engaged in any business having a turnover or gross receipts of not more than Rs 2 crores in the respective financial year.

Similarly, an individual or partnership firm (other than LLP) undertaking any profession (such as legal, accounting, medical, architect, and so on) as listed in section 44AA of the Act and having receipts less than Rs 50 lakhs can opt for the scheme. The benefit of section 44AE of the Act can be availed by every person who is engaged in the business of plying, hiring or leasing of goods carriages (not more than 10 goods vehicles at any time during the year), explains Kumar.

How is income calculated under PTS?

As the scheme’s name suggests, income under PTS is calculated on a presumptive basis. For a person adopting section 44AD (businessman), income is computed on a presumptive basis at the rate of 8 percent of the turnover or gross receipts of the eligible business for the year.

However, in order to promote digital transactions section 44AD was amended with effect from the assessment year 2017-18 to provide that income shall be computed at the rate of 6 percent instead of 8 percent, if turnover/gross receipt is received by an account payee cheque or an account payee bank draft or use of electronic clearing system through a bank account or through such other electronic mode.

Similarly, if a professional (under section 44ADA) wants to adopt PTS, income will be computed on presumptive basis, i.e., at the rate of 50 percent of the total gross receipts of the profession. However, both businessmen and professionals can voluntarily disclose their business or professional income at more than the stipulated percentage still file their return under PTS.

The benefits

The main benefit of PTS is that tax payers are not required to maintain exhaustive books of accounts. Also, in general, one has to pay advance tax in four instalments, but, “persons opting for the presumptive taxation scheme under section 44AD/44ADA are liable to pay whole amount of advance tax in one instalment, on or before March 15,” says Jalan.

Factors to consider before opting for PTS

Once you file income under PTS, you have to follow the same method for the next five years. “In case an assessee fails to do so in an year, he shall not be allowed to file return under PTS for the subsequent five years, and shall also be required to get the accounts audited in that year if income exceeds the maximum amount that is not chargeable to tax,” says Kumar.

Analyse this provision before claiming the benefit of this section.

Kumar says the Correct income tax form must be used while filing your tax returns through PTS. You need to choose between ITR forms 3 and 4. Using a wrong form makes your returns invalid.

Oil at $88-90 a barrel in 2-3 months can't be ruled out given the ground realities

26. October 2021 Sandeep Stock Market Research (0)

The rise in oil prices will have major implications for domestic inflation and exchange rate as local currencies are likely to weaken.

Joseph Thomas, Head of Research, Emkay Wealth Management

With Brent at $86 a barrel, oil is at multi-year highs. The price of oil and gas has gone up as consumption remains robust and gradually moving up to the pre-pandemic levels. It is expected that the global consumption will touch the pre-pandemic levels and cross it by the first quarter of 2022.

Oil consumption has increased by 5,00,000 barrels per day and there is also some shift or switch by consumers from gas to oil with the crunch gas and the astronomical gas prices. This switch is likely to push up the demand for oil and thereby the price.

According to OPEC estimates, oil demand may go up by 1 million barrels per day in the coming month. But OPEC in its recent meeting decided to not do anything with price or quantity despite the rise in oil prices. They decided to stand by their original decision to increase output by 4,00,000 barrels per day from November onwards.

The rise in prices may be sustained due to the fact that it is happening at the threshold of winter season, a time when the consumption would usually gallop to higher levels, and the intensity of the winter may further alter the situation in favour of higher prices. This situation is going to adversely affect big importers of oil like China and India who have their economies dependent on oil imports.

The rise in oil prices will have major implications for domestic inflation and exchange rate. The local currencies are likely to weaken with implications for the general price level. If not targeted and controlled the current move in oil prices may harm some of the economies which have demand pick-up still in its infancy after the pandemic.

The top five countries in Europe have come together and have sounded an alarm over the high price of oil and gas. But there is very little course available to these countries other than using renewables and alternatives, apart from attaining a higher level of energy efficiency in the coming years, as a measure to combat higher fuel prices.

The probability of the US releasing the strategic petroleum reserves during this time of crunch has been ruled out for the time being. This also afforded some support to the rising prices. While a large number of analysts look at $100 as a potential target, a move to $88 to $90 over the next two to three months cannot be ruled out given the ground level realities.
