INTERNATIONAL NEWS
✍ PRECIOUS METAL
✍ Gold
Gold drifted lower on Friday and was headed for the seventh weekly drop in eight weeks as
investors positioned for a looming US rate hike. A strong US nonfarm payrolls report last week
cemented expectations of a rate hike at the Federal Reserve's policy meeting on December 15-
16. The first hike in nearly a decade is expected to dent demand for gold, a non-interest paying
asset. Spot gold fell 0.4% to $1,067.20 an ounce by 0331 GMT, after closing flat over the last
two sessions. For the week, bullion is down nearly 2%. "The path of the euro-dollar may be the
most visible influence on gold, at least until the Fed meeting," said HSBC analyst James Steel.
"If the Fed raises rates, gold may be in for a knee-jerk reaction lower," said Steel, adding that
the metal will be range bound until next week's meeting. A robust dollar was limiting interest in
gold. The greenback rose for a second session on Friday, extending a rebound from a one-
month low on expectations of a rate hike. A higher dollar makes greenback-denominated gold
more expensive for holders of other currencies.Weakness in oil was also hurting bullion. A
slide in oil could trigger fears of deflation, a bearish factor for gold, which is often used as a
hedge against oil-led inflation. U.S. crude prices remained near 2009 lows in early Asian
trading on Friday as oil output in the Middle East continued to rise despite an existing global
glut. The outlook for gold looked bearish Short positions in COMEX gold futures and options
are at record highs, while assets in SPDR Gold Trust, the top bullion exchange traded fund, are
at their lowest since September 2008. Investors have boosted bets that the gold price will soon
drop to $1,000 an ounce, options data show. Gold, on track for a third straight annual decline,
has lost 9.8% of its value this year. The technical picture for gold looks neutral in the $1,064-
$1,084 range, but a break below $1,064 could take the metal to a near-six-year low of
$1,045.85, according to Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao. Among other precious metals,
silver and platinum were also headed for a seventh weekly loss in eight weeks, with declines of
more than 3%.
✍ Silver
Taking weak cues from overseas markets, silver prices fell by Rs 114 to Rs 34,518 per kg in
futures trade today, as participants trimmed positions. In futures trading at the Multi
Commodity Exchange, silver for delivery in far-month May next year shed Rs 114 or 0.33% to
Rs 34,518 per kg in a business turnover of 7 lots.Similarly, the white metal for delivery in
March declined by Rs 100 or 0.29% to Rs 34,115 per kg in a business volume of 297 lots. In
the international market, silver fell 0.35% to $14.05 an ounce in Singapore today. Marketmen
attributed the fall in silver prices at futures trade was largely in line with a weak trend in
precious metals in global markets.
✍ Crude oil
Crude oil prices remained at levels not seen since early 2009 on Friday as output in the Middle
East continued to rise despite an already huge global glut, with analysts saying the price
outlook for the rest of the year and into 2016 remained weak. Brent crude futures were down 29
cents at $39.44 a barrel at 0551 GMT, a touch above a near-seven-year low hit earlier in the
session at $39.38 a barrel.US crude futures were at $36.52 per barrel, down 24 cents and just
above Thursday's bottom of $36.38 - the benchmark's lowest mark since February 2009. "The
next quarter is going to be particularly tough as we go from a high-demand to a low-demand
quarter," said Richard Gorry, director of consultancy JBC Energy Asia. "Can you rule out $20
per barrel? No, you can't," he said, although adding that prices would not likely fall that far.
Gorry said he expected a slow rebalancing of the market towards the end of next year, with
production remaining stubbornly high despite low benchmark prices. "A lot of producers are
trying to maintain positive cash-flows and that means maximising output, and Iranian barrels
are also coming back to the market," he said. The price rout is a result of a huge overhang in
production that is fast filling onshore storage sites, which some analysts expect to run out in
early 2016. ANZ bank said on Friday that "crude oil markets will remain subdued in 2016,
though prospects for a recovery look better in the second half of the year." Jefferies bank said
that an "inventory overhang is likely to expand significantly through the first half of 2016 and
will likely suppress oil prices in the near-term.
✍ Zinc
Taking positive cues from global market and pick up in domestic demand, zinc futures edged
higher by 0.49 per cent to Rs 103.55 per kg today as speculators indulged in creating positions.
In futures trading at Multi Commodity Exchange, zinc for delivery in January 2016 was up 50
paise, or 0.49 per cent, to Rs 103.55 per kg in a business turnover of 13 lots. Also, the metal for
delivery this month was trading 45 paise, or 0.44 per cent higher at Rs 102.50 per kg in a
business volume of 495 lots. Zinc prices strengthened on pick up in demand at domestic spot
markets and a firm trend in the base metals pack at London Metal Exchange, market analysts
said.
✍ Nickle
Nickel prices rose by 0.68 per cent to Rs 590.30 per kg in futures market today as participants
enlarged bets tracking rising demand from alloy makers in the spot market. However, nickel
retreated 0.3 per cent at the London Metal Exchange and capped the gains.Nickel for delivery
in January contracts gained Rs 4 or 0.68 per cent to Rs 590.30 per kg in a business turnover of
27 lots at Multi Commodity Exchange. The current month contract rose Rs 3.60 or 0.68 per
cent to Rs 584.20 per kg in 617 lots. Analysts said increased domestic demand from alloy
makers and other consuming industries in the spot markets, influenced nickel futures here.
✍ Aluminium
Aluminium prices were up by 0.46 per cent to Rs 99.15 per kg in futures trade today, largely in
tune with a firming trend in base metals at the London Metal Exchange (LME). Besides,
increased demand at domestic spot markets also influenced prices. At Multi Commodity
Exchange, aluminium for delivery this month rose 45 paise or 0.46 per cent to Rs 99.15 per kg
in a business turnover of 274 lots. Metal for delivery in January also rose by 40 paise or 0.40
per cent to trade at Rs 100.05 per kg in two lots. Globally, aluminum added 0.1 per cent at the
LME. Analysts said the rise in aluminium prices in futures trade was mostly in line with a
firming trend in base metals at the LME after China's consumer inflation increased more than
estimated, signaling demand in the world's second-largest economy may be stabilising after
accelerated fiscal stimulus and a year of interest rate cuts.
✍ Lead
Lead prices weakened 0.18 per cent to Rs 113.60 per kg in futures trade today as speculators
cut down their bets prompted by subdued demand in the spot market. At Multi Commodity
Exchange, lead for delivery in current month was trading down by 20 paise, of 0.18 per cent at
Rs 113.60 per kg in a business turnover of 513 lots. Metal for delivery in January 2016
contracts shed 20 paise or 0.17 per cent to trade at Rs 114.25 per kg in 8 lots. Market analysts
said apart from slakened demand from battery-makers in the spot markets, metal's weakness at
the London Metal Exchange, weighed on lead futures prices here. In the international market,
lead fell at least 0.3 per cent at the London Metal Exchange.
✍ NCDEX - WEEKLY NEWS LETTERS
Since the start of 2014, the average landed cost of crude imported by Indian refiners has fallen
from $ 108.76 to $ 36.65 a barrel. The same period has seen the London Metal Exchange Index
that tracks prices of six primary non-ferrous metals — aluminium, copper, zinc, lead, nickel
and tin — shed nearly a third of its value, even as benchmark US Midwest hot rolled coil steel
rates have collapsed from around $ 680 to $ 365 per tonne.
But it’s not just energy and industrial metals. The same holds true for precious metals and
agricultural commodities. Gold on Friday traded in London at $ 1,072.5 per ounce, compared to
$ 1,225 in early 2014, and the peak of $ 1,895 reached on September 5, 2011. The UN Food
and Agriculture Organisation’s food price index, at 156.7 in November, is also down from its
December 2013 level of 206.2, and the all-time-high of 237.7 for February 2011.
There are broadly three reasons for this commodity meltdown, of which two are relatively easy
to understand.
The first, of course, is China. The slowdown in the world’s largest manufacturing economy has
hit demand for everything from copper, nickel and aluminium to coal and iron ore. Given its
share of global consumption, ranging between 50% and 75% in these industrial raw materials,
the dragon sneezing has naturally led to Brazil, Australia, Indonesia, Chile and many others
catching cold. Worse, the excess steelmaking and aluminium, zinc and copper smelting/refining
capacities that came up during the boom have today become a source of dumping, as Chinese
producers are increasingly pushing overseas sales to offset stalling local demand growth.
The second is a strengthening US economy, alongside its emergence as a surplus oil producer,
courtesy the shale revolution. In October 2013, US crude oil output hit 7.7 million barrels per
day (mbpd), surpassing imports of 7.5 mbpd. Since then, its production has gone up further to
an average of 9.4 mbpd, while imports have hovered at 7.3-7.4 mbpd. This turnaround in
fortunes for a country that consumes a fifth of the world’s oil — in addition to the current hype
over solar and wind energy, amidst growing pressure for phasing out fossil fuels — has been a
significant contributor to the tumbling of crude prices. Simultaneously, the US economic
recovery and the prospect of an imminent Federal Reserve interest rate hike have fostered a
strong dollar, in turn, diminishing gold’s safe-haven appeal.
The third factor is somewhat more complex, having to do with commodities being lumped
together as a distinct ‘asset class’. From the early 2000s, commodities became trading vehicles
for not just chocolate manufacturers, jewellers or airline companies wanting to hedge against
volatility in prices of cocoa beans, bullion or fuel, but even for exchange-traded funds and other
‘pure’ investors having no direct production or dealing interests in them. At the height of the so-
called emerging markets boom, the notional value of net ‘long’ or bullish investments in
commodity index products monitored by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(USCFTC) totaled $ 256 billion in end-April 2011.
That tide has turned in the past two years, though, as index, pension and hedge funds have
sharply cut their commodity exposures — the last USCFTC data for October 30 shows net long
index positions at only $ 138.3 billion. The mounting selling pressure from funds has
aggravated the crisis in commodity markets and also for governments, whether in Russia and
Brazil or Argentina and Venezuela (where recent elections have seen seemingly secure socialist
regimes being dislodged). Even the apparent rural backlash being faced by the Narendra Modi
dispensation can be traced quite a bit to the global commodity crash affecting realizations for
sugarcane, cotton, rubber, rice, soyabean or milk producers in India as well.
While the meltdown has impacted commodities across the board, the idea that they can be
lumped together as an asset class could, nevertheless, come under challenge in the months
ahead. The one distinction that markets may well end up making is between commodities
whose prices in the near- to medium-term are largely a function of demand, and those for
whom there could be supply-side issues, too. In the former category would be energy, base
metals or gold and silver whose production is not amenable to sudden increases or decreases.
It’s safe to assume that their prices would remain under pressure, so long as the Chinese
slowdown continues and India does not provide the new fuel for global growth that Modi’s
election initially promised.
Agricultural commodities fall in the latter category. In their case — at least for food, even if not
for cotton, guar-gum or bio-ethanol demand is stable or unchanging at worst. At the same time,
supply is more prone to fluctuations, in response to both weather conditions as well as prices: it
may be easier for farmers to expand or contract wheat acreages from season to season than for
BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Glencore and Vale to open and shut down mines.
It is for this reason that the effects of the current El Niño — already the strongest since 1997-98
and expected to last through the winter and early spring — on the supply of farm produce
cannot be written off. In the last three months, global prices of palm oil and sugar have climbed
by 12.5% and 25% respectively, while cocoa futures are ruling 17.5 per cent higher over last
year at this time. Dry weather in Indonesia, Australia, West Africa and India is clearly causing
supply concerns at least in these commodities.
The world may still be awash in corn, wheat and soyabean, but we still aren’t sure about the
extent of drop in rabi plantings and the likely moisture stress to the already-sown crop in India.
By the time the picture becomes clearer towards January-end or so, the markets may start
treating agricultural commodities a little differently from the other constituents of a generic,
undifferentiated ‘asset class’.
✍ Chana
Chana price were down by 0.47% to Rs 5,050 per quintal in futures trade on Friday as traders
reduced their positions amid adequate stocks in the spot markets on higher supplies.At the
National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, chana for delivery in December month fell Rs
24, or 0.47% to Rs 5,050 per quintal with an open interest of 35,200 lots.Similarly, the
commodity for delivery in far-month January 2016 traded lower by Rs 17, or 0.36% to Rs
4,719 per quintal in 26,930 lots.The fall in chana prices at futures trade to higher supplies in the
physical market against subdued demand.3
✍ Refined soya oil
Refined soya oil prices were up by 0.29 per cent to Rs 634.50 per 10 kg in futures trading today
as speculators created fresh positions, amid rising domestic demand.At the National
Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, refined soya oil for delivery in December edged up by
Rs 1.85 or 0.29 per cent to Rs 634.50 per 10 kg with an open interest of 25,840 lots.The
January contract traded higher by Rs 1.15 or 0.18 per cent to Rs 635.60 per 10 kg in 85,890
lots.The rise in refined soya oil prices at futures trade to pick up in demand in the spot market
against restricted supplies from producing belts.
✍ Jeera
Jeera prices dropped by 1.78% to Rs 15,445 per quintal in futures trading on Tuesday as
speculators cut down on their bets amid slackened demand in the spot market against ample
stocks.At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, jeera for delivery in far-month
January 2016 fell by Rs 280, or 1.78% to Rs 15,445 per quintal with an open interest of 7,332
lots.Likewise, the spice for delivery in December contracts traded lower by Rs 270 or 1.74% to
Rs 15,275 per quintal in 5,934 lots.Offloading of positions by traders, driven by muted
domestic as well as exports demand in the spot market, mainly pulled down jeera prices at
futures trade.
✍ Mustard Seed
Mustard Seed prices closed lower by 3.99 per cent on Thursday at the National Commodity &
Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX) as a result of the profit booking by the traders on
account of the weak crushing and export demand of mustard meal. At the NCDEX, Mustard
Seed futures for December 2015 contract closed at Rs. 4,429 per quintal, down by 3.99 per
cent, after opening at Rs. 4,594 against the previous closing price of Rs. 4,613. It touched the
intra-day low of Rs. 4,429. Sentiment weakened further due to the sluggish export demand as a
result of the weak demand for the commodity.
