  • The Nifty Realty index, comprised of 10 builders including Phoenix Mills, plunged 4.15%
  • The Nifty Media index, a basket of 10 stocks including multiplex operator PVR, dropped 3.91%

The Indian rupee was trading 0.10% lower against the US dollar at INR74.38, as of 16:45 local time (UTC+5:30).

India recovery

“Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman (last) week made an impassioned plea for the private sector to ramp up investment to support the economic recovery, but we don’t think that firms will heed her call,” said Capital Economics’ senior India economist Shilan Shah.

“Meanwhile, comments from RBI governor Shaktikanta Das support our view that policy tightening will proceed very gradually and that rate hikes won’t come onto the agenda for several more months yet,” Shah wrote in a 19 November note to clients, published on his firm’s website.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
