🇮🇳 India’s silver imports are back after six months of disruption.

Traders imported about 89.81 tonnes of silver through the India International Gold and Silver Exchange in August, after six consecutive months without imports.

Around 400 tonnes of import licences have reportedly been approved under the new licensing regime, with supply already “definitely improved” from July, according to Metals Focus.

The higher supply has narrowed India’s domestic premium over international prices, although the 30 day average premium was still around $4 per ounce as of last Friday.

🚨 Gold is winning the trade Bitcoin was designed for.

Bitcoin has fallen 46% over the past year to around $63,000, while gold has gained 32% to about $4,376.

The pressure on Bitcoin is coming as global bond yields hit their highest levels since July 2008, before Bitcoin even existed.

The US 30 year Treasury auction on August 13 drew a 5.216% yield, the highest since 2001, with below average investor demand.

As real yields rise, investors are moving toward government debt and gold, putting pressure on Bitcoin’s “fiscal doubt” trade.

🚨 Indian bond yields jumped after RBI unexpectedly moved up the closure of its special dollar deposit window for overseas residents.

The decision came late Friday, surprising traders after RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra had ruled out an early closure at the August 5 policy meeting.

India has attracted nearly $57 billion through RBI’s dollar-inflow measures, including $52.3 billion via FCNR(B) deposits. RBI has advanced the FCNR(B) window closure to August 31 from September 30. Former RBI Governor Duvvuri Subbarao called these “borrowed dollars” that must be repaid at maturity. The rupee remains around ₹95.50 per dollar. RBI’s swap facility covers the principal, while banks remain responsible for deposit interest.

🚨 India’s quick commerce war is heating up ahead of the festival season.

The six major platforms crossed 9.1 million daily orders in August, with Blinkit leading at 3.4 to 3.6 million orders and Zepto in second place.

Zepto is now focusing more on higher average order values as it prepares another IPO attempt after failing to secure its desired pricing earlier.

Traditional retailers are also fighting back. Vishal Mega Mart and others are converting existing stores into fulfilment centres, challenging the dark store model.

🚨 Vietnam just bought Indian diesel directly for the first time in 8 years.

About 70,000 tonnes of diesel produced by Reliance Industries at its Jamnagar refinery was loaded on the Panamax vessel Magic Victoria and discharged between August 14 and 16 at PetroVietnam’s Yunfeng terminal in Khanh Hoa.

Vietnam had mainly sourced diesel from South Korea and other Southeast Asian suppliers.

The shift follows Vietnam’s removal of fuel import taxes in March as Middle East shipping risks pushed buyers to seek new supply sources.
