World Copper Supply is Being Gobbled up by Residential
China consumes approximately 40% of the world's copper, making it by far the most important end market for the yellow metal. Copper prices are at near record highs currently (in mid-2011) a large part due to the strong demand from China, as well as flattening mine production of copper.
What exactly, is driving the massive consumption of copper in China? Copper is by far the best electrical conductor of the base metals - copper is approximately twice as conductive as its closest base metal substitute, aluminum -- making copper essential in any structure or product that utilizes electricity. It follows that as China industrializes, it will be a massive consumer of copper. According to BGRIMM, a copper research agency in China, construction and infrastructure accounted for 56% of total copper usage in China in 2007, and the broad category "general consumer goods" accounted for an additional 27% of consumption, as shown by figure 1:
According to copper.org, Copper has its largest use in residential and office construction as building wire -- electrically conductive wire built in the structure in order to allow electricity to be used in the structure through electrical outlets, air conditioners, computers, and other devices. The relative percentage useage of copper in a multi-family unit according to the copper.org is as follows:
consumption numbers to give more detail on these overall categories. What is the percentage of copper in China consumed by laptop computer production (a laptop is approximately 6.9% copper by weight)? Office building construction? Mobile phone manufacturing -- note that the average mobile phone is approximately 13% copper by weight.
The author has calculated the expected copper consumption in China by residential and office construction, mobile phone, television set, computer (both desktop and laptop), power and telephone line, and automotive production. These results are presented in figure 3 and 4 below. Interestingly, even as China is, in the World Bank's words, the "world's manufacturing center," accounting for the manufacture of approximately 90% of the world's laptops, 50% of the world's mobile phones, and 30% of the world's television sets (among many other products that use copper) it appears that the overwhelming majority of copper in China is used in residential and office construction. The author's calcuations puts office and residential consumption of copper at 82.4% of the total consumption, presented in figure
The author's estimate of copper consumption by end use is different than the BGRIMM figures in chart 1 above, this is due to two factors: first, the BGRIMM numbers are for 2007, in which total infrastructure spending was lower than in 2010 (the year for which the author has estimated copper usage in China). Total residential construction totalled an incredible 2.4 Billion square meters in China in 2010, and office construction totaled an incredible 1.8 Billion square meters (more than a square meter of office space for every man, woman and child in China in 2010) according to the Economist Intelligence Unit. Second, there is likely significant error in the author's estimates of total copper consumption, as estimates are based on average copper usage per application, times total estimated application numbers (both variables are likely to have high errors in estimation, depending on the source of the numbers). BGRIMM, to the author's knowledge, does not disclose their methodology for estimating copper consumption by end use, so thye author was not able to determine sources of difference between this estimate and BGRIMM's estimate further.
It appears that copper usage in technological devices including PC's, netbooks, and mobile phones do not comprise a major component of overall copper usage for China. The author's calculations have these computing categories at only 2.1% of copper usage in 2010. This is due to the fact that as computing power increases, the size and weight of computing devices declines which means despite very large production numbers, the overall usage of copper is relatively small.
Even power cable appears to not be a massive driver of copper consumption in China. Power cable is typically a smaller copper core surrounded by aluminum insulation -- perhaps this is part of the reason why so the overall copper usage is not massive.
Copper consumption for residential and office appears to be the main source of demand in China, which makes residential and office building forecasts for China -- such as ones done by the Economist Intelligence Unit -- to be paramount in the forecast for the price of copper going forward.
A couple of notes on the supply side for copper: Approximately 38% of the world's supply of copper comes from Chile. Geologically, 75% of world's copper reserves exist in the form of copper porphyrys -- porphyrys are igneous rock (this is to say, rock relatively recently formed by volcanic lavas) and most copper sulphides are in the "Ring of Fire" -- a geological term for newly formed rock around the Pacific Ocean. Chile has the highest geological deposits of copper but is having difficulty increasing production significantly. The state owned Codelco -- which produces, along with BHP and Rio Tinto, the majority of Chile's copper -- warned in 2010 that without high levels of investment, its production of copper would fall by 50% over the next decade, due to declining copper grades. This, in turn, has led to some analysts warning of "Peak Copper" -- the inability of particularly Chile to increase copper production. Currently, Chile has projected that will expects to increase copper production levels modestly to 2020 based on an intensive capex program. However, uncertainties exist as to whether Chile can achieve this forecast in the light of the geological limitations presented by continuing declines in copper grade at the major Chilean mines.
In addition, it is interesting to note that according to geological estimates, almost all porphyry copper despoits were formed 500 million to 200 million years ago. This is to say, if humans had evolved 200-500 million years sooner, we would not have access to copper in any meaningful quantity on the surface of the Earth, and widespread usage of electricity would have likely not developed in industrial society.

Stocks To Buy- Say Goodbye To The Old
Being a beginner trader, you want to keep on learning new stock investing techniques. What were useful before may not work today. Markets are so unpredictable these days. Internet investing has, most certainly, changed the workings of today’s markets.
Remember to look for those companies that are being ignored by the majority of stock reporters. Those publicly discussed shares become high in price quickly when traders hurry to put money in them. Cheaper stocks are less notice to the outside observer for various occurences. Yet, the primary elements leading the business of those companies will continue to be concrete. If you perform your examination, you can simply dig out such companies. The magic would be investing in shares that are inexpensive.
As soon as you have discovered your attractive stocks to buy, do not jump to buying them. Watch the productivity of the company for a few days. Use charts to choose your entry into the market.
Financial exchanges are highly interlinked in this day and age. A disturbance, small or large, in any other monetary exchange could soon make its way over to the stock exchange. watch out for various markets that might possess the power to affect the price of your stocks. Currency markets will be rather important to watch if you have involved international stocks to your portfolio.
Stay on the trail of lucrative stocks. Go where you are going to get the best possible profit on your stocks to buy. When it is building with the gold market, invest there. When it is in the oil market, invest there. Again, invest in the markets where capital is building.
Everything that has been mentioned up to this point will help an amateur to get their foot in the door. If you want to ensure the door stays open, perform your examination, and perform it again. The most successful trait traders can possess is the time to perform research. It may seem like it will take too long, but with the internet there needs to be no excuses. So many traders mess up from lack of information. Whether it be they did not conduct enough or they did not check their information gathered. Checking your information is another factor with examination. You need to be certain that you used reliable information. The amateur trader will be the easiest to scam.

How the US Markets Effect indian Market
It is lending to people who are less capable of repaying (More credit risk; Less credit worthiness).In US some institutions has lend loans like this to such people(less capability to repay). Since they are high risk loans interest rate will be high. These institutions also adopt a process called securitization (conversion of these loans into tradeable securities).
So it led to non-performing assets in banks balance sheet. So investors in these bonds started selling their bonds which pull down the us stock market. Everyone wanted to take their money in these bonds as loans are not repaid.
It had an impact on Indian stock market as well some people who lost their money also wanted to compensate their loss by selling shares they holded in Indian companies, this pulled back Indian stock market also for a while.
What did US GOVERNMENT DO to minimize this risk? They cut down the interest rates so that people will borrow at lesser rate and invest. But this helped Indian market also because they borrowed in us at lesser rate and invested in Indian market which is bullish now.thats is why our market adjusted very quickly.
Rupee appreciation:
It means i am able to but dollar at a cheaper rate.
That is for a particular amount of rupee I can buy more dollars.
When it happens. When we have sufficient amount of dollars in hand we don’t need more. When US depends on Indian goods they have to pay in rupees and they exchange their dollars for rupees with RBI and hence we have more dollars. When investments from US come into India also this exchange takes place and hence we have more dollars and rupee appreciates.
Right now because of last reason our rupee has appreciated.
But some domestic manufacturers who manufacture and sell in India will get affected by substitute import products because they become cheaper.
What RBI has done to curb appreciation is open up investment opportunities for Indians in US. That means they allow them to invest more in us there by more dollars will be demanded by them to invest and dollar demand will raise and rupee appreciation will come down.
