Under revised rules from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEC), equity funds can invest the remainder of their portfolios (up to 35% of assets) in gold and silver instruments, as well as shares of infrastructure investment trusts (ITTs). By expanding the list of permissible assets, the regulator provides equity funds with a wider range of investment vehicles, which already included money market instruments and other liquid securities. This adjustment is also likely to create new sources of demand for gold and silver. In January, local investors poured more money into gold ETFs than into equity funds, a rare reversal that highlights the growing appeal of gold amid market uncertainty.February 26 – On February 26, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference. A Yonhap News Agency reporter asked: North Korean Workers Party General Secretary Kim Jong Un recently stated that if the United States recognizes North Koreas nuclear-armed status and withdraws its hostile policy towards North Korea, North Korea has no reason not to maintain friendly relations with the United States; however, he called South Koreas recent conciliatory stance a "deception and clumsy trick" and expressed his unwillingness to engage in dialogue. What is Chinas comment on this? "As a close neighbor of the Korean Peninsula, China is concerned about the development and evolution of the situation on the peninsula. Maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula and promoting the political settlement of the peninsula issue are in the interests of all parties, and we hope that all parties will work together to achieve this," Mao Ning said.February 26th Futures News: On February 26th, the Shanghai Futures Exchanges energy and chemical warehouse receipts and changes are as follows: 1.
