   LONDON: Gold prices soared Thursday to the highest level in almost seven weeks as the dollar weakened after the U. S. Federal Reserve vowed to keep interest rates near zero for more than 2 years.
   The precious metal rose up to $1,720. 35 an ounce on the London Bullion Market—the highest level since December 9 but still far below the record peak of $1, 921. 15 struck on September 6.
   "With the U. S. Federal pledging to keep interest rates in check until late 2014, gold soared," said Rose Norman, boss of British-based bullion broker Shaip Pixley. " Although there was heavy speculative buying, anxious investors joined the fray who are concerned by currency depreciation as global central banks use easy monetary policies to flood markets with cash. "

   Davos: With HCL Tech announcing 10, 000 jobs for locals in the U. S. and Europe, India Inc on Thursday chose the WEF meet to send a strong message that India IT firms are creating and not stealing jobs in troubled western economies. A message emerged from British PM David Cameron’s advice to EU that instead of being a threat, emerging economies like India can be of great help to Europe.
   Concluding FTA with India by the year-end would be in Europe’s interest, he said. "There has to be FTAs, bilateral trade agreements with countries like India and Singapore a-long with other countries," he said.

   Helsinki: Mobile phone maker Nokia Corp posted a fourth-quarter net loss of 1. 70 billion euro ($1. 38 bn) as sales slumped 21% even as the company’s first Window smartphones hit markets in Europe and Asia. The loss compares with a profit of 745 million euro in the same period a year earlier.
   Nokia said net revenue, including both its mobile phones and its network divisions, fell from 12. 6 billion euro in the Q4 of 2010 to 10 billion, with smartphones plunging 23%. Nokia has lost its once-dominance in the global cell phone market, with Android phones and iPhones overtaking it in the growing smartphone segment. Nokia is attempting a comeback with phones using Microsoft’s Window software, a struggle that CEO Stephen Elop characterized as " war of eco-systems. "
   【R4】______
   New Delhi: Anil Ambani’s R-Power has roped in RWE Power International of Germany to help the company with extracting coal from its captive mines of the Tilaiya ultra-mega power project, the third such plant the government has mandated the company to set up.
   RWE Power is one of Europe’s leading energy utilities and German’s biggest coal miner. The company would help R-Power design and plan the engineering aspects of captive mine and procurement of equipment and ensure quality control. Government has allocated Kerendari Band C coal blocks of North Karanpura coal fields in Jharkhand to meet the fuel requirements of the Tilaiya project. These mines have reserve of over 1 billion ton. The company plans to produce 40 million tons of coal per year.
