From The Desk Of Editor

In the week gone by, global markets witnessed volatile movement on inflation fears and supply chain concerns stemming from retailers' earnings, with investors betting the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates sooner than expected to tame rising prices. US October Retail sales data rose 1.7% MoM, beating estimates. The surge in fresh covid cases in Europe is keeping global investors on the edge fanning fears of an economic slowdown. European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde acknowledged that inflation “will take longer to decline than originally expected” but said it’s unlikely that the ECB will raise interest rates next year. Another data showed that UK's annual inflation rate reported at 4.2% in October from 3.1% a month ago. Conversely, upbeat data on China’s industrial output and consumer spending in the month of October couldn’t prevent the mainland markets from dipping.

Back at home, domestic markets witnessed selling pressure at higher levels as investors seem to be trimming their holdings in stocks that had risen sharply in recent upsurge. Weakness continued in the market as US inflation worries kept bulls on the sidelines. During the week, the auto sector was in focus as reports suggested relief in chip & semi-conductor shortages. Even the tepid listing of Paytm in the main bourses added to the negative sentiment. Midcap and small cap stocks were beaten down heavily. On the earning front, Overall 2QFY22 earnings came in above markets expectations, led by a) cyclical sectors (such asO&G and Metals), b) improved asset quality in the BFSI sector, and c) strong topline growth in the Technology sector. Meanwhile, India’s benchmark inflation rate, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), was flat between September and October. At 4.48% in October, annual growth in CPI was slightly higher than the September reading of 4.35%. While the headline inflation number is a result of a favourable base effect, core inflation—the non-food non-fuel component of the CPI basket—continues to remain high at 6.24%. While IIP suffered a sequential contraction for the second consecutive month in September. The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) September grew at 3.1%. Going forward, movement of Currency, inflow and out flow of foreign fund, crude oil prices amid other global factors will continue to dictate the trend of the market.

On the commodity market front, CRB was in a very tight range last week. After two weeks of upside bullion counter took downside on sharp recovery in dollar index; twin weights of rallying U.S. bond yields and the dollar. Gold and silver are likely to trade in a range of 48800-49900 and 65000- 67800 levels. U.S. President Joe Biden has been considering releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to cool gasoline prices. It is giving bearish impact on crude prices. It may see further fall up to 5600 whereas resistance is near 6000 levels. Base metals saw sharp fall on weak property data and rising warehouse inventories in China. It may see some bounce. Markit Manufacturing PMI Flash, Durable Goods Orders MoM, GDP Growth, Durable Goods Orders MoM, Michigan Consumer Sentiment Final, PCE Price Index YoY and FOMC Minutes of US, Interest Rate Decision of New Zealand, Interest Rate Decision, Ifo Business Climate, GDP Growth Rate and GfK Consumer Confidence of Germany, GDP Growth Rate of Mexico etc are many data and events which will guide how to trade in commodities.

OUTLOOK

SPICES

10 Turmeric futures (Dec) down 2% last week due to profit booking at higher levels and expected to trade lower towards 7050 levels with resistance at 7600. However, in the most of the trading centres prices are flat to higher due to good quality arrivals. Exports are not picking up as expected so the prices are correcting. In the first 6-months (Apr-Sep) of FY 2021/22, exports were down 26% to 77,250 tons Vs last year but still at par with 5-year average. This year the prices are higher by 30% as compared to last year throughout the year. Jeera futures (Dec) jumped more than 5% last week due to fresh buying sentiments among the traders and exporters as sowing area in Gujarat is expected to lower this season. We expect price to trade positive towards 17000 levels with support at 16100 levels. Until 15-Nov, area under jeera in Gujarat is only 8500 ha compared to 50,500 ha last year same time. Export demand for Jeera is good as production was poor in Turkey and Syria. As per Govt. data, exports of jeera for Apr-Sep are down by 14% Y/Y at 1.39 lakh tonnes but expected to improve in coming months. Dhaniya futures (Dec) closed 4.5% higher last week and is likely to trade sideways in the range of 8500 – 8950 with positive bias. Prices of dhaniya rose in Kota market due to lower arrivals and improving demand. Traders and stockits witnessed some fresh buying from the South and Eastern India and enquiries for the exports. As per govt. data, exports have been down 12.7% during Apr-Sep period to 24500 tonnes Vs 28000 tonnes last year but 11% higher as compared to 5-year average. Coriander area in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh have not pick up in current season.

BULLIONS

Gold prices were up in the previous week as the dollar eased and U.S. bond yields retreated from a three-week high, lifting bullion’s appeal. The dollar fell 0.1%, pulling away from a 16-month peak. A weaker dollar reduces bullion’s cost to buyers holding other currencies. Also the inflation worries pushed investors to the safe-haven metal. The U.S. dollar, which also contends with gold as a safe store of value, touched its highest since July 2020, bolstered by better-than-expected U.S. retail data. Chicago Federal Reserve President Charles Evans reiterated that it will take until the middle of next year to complete the Fed’s wind-down of its bond-buying program even as the central bank checks to see if high inflation recedes as he expects. British inflation has hit a 10-year high as household energy bills rocket, bolstering expectations the Bank of England will raise interest rates in December. The European Central Bank must be ready to rein in inflation in the euro zone if it proves more durable than forecast, ECB board member Isabel Schnabel said. A hike in rates should reduce bullion’s appeal as higher interest rates raises the non-interest bearing metal’s opportunity cost. Indicative of sentiment, holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust , the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, rose to 976.87 tonnes. Global silver demand will rise to 1.029 billion ounces this year, exceeding a billion ounces for the first time since 2015, the Silver Institute said in a report. Ahead in the week, the precious may continue to trade with sideways to bullish bias where gold may take support near 48000 and could face resistance near 49800, on the other hand Silver may trade with higher volatility where it may trade in the range of 64500-69800.

OIL AND OILSEEDS

Soybean futures (Dec) jumped more than 8% and closed positive for 4th consecutive week. We expect it to trade higher towards 6400 levels with support at 5850. As per data from the SOPA, soybean arrivals in October were lower at 15 lakh tonnes as compared to 18 lt last year. Farmers are holding back their crop in anticipation of higher prices despite good production estimated this year. As per USDA November monthly report, soybean production in India revised higher by 8% m/m to 11.9 million tonnes. Domestic demand for the soybean is improving as the imports of edible oil is declining. CBOT soybean futures also rose 5.5% tracking strength in domestic cash and export markets. In domestic market, higher prices of soymeal sharply lower the exports to 30,000 tonnes in Oct from 1.35 lakh tonnes in the year-ago period. Edible oil prices jumped 2-3% last week tracking firm International prices. We have witnessed recovery in edible oil prices due to increasing demand, lower imports and declining stocks in ports. Moreover, hike in tariff duty by more than 1% on 15-Nov also support edible prices. As per SEA monthly data release, edible oil imports were down by 38.4% in Oct m/m while the stocks at port down 15% m/m. Malaysian palm oil futures climb about 0.5% on concerns over lower production. India’s palm oil imports in 2020/21 rose 15.2% from a year ago to 8.32 million tonnes, while soyoil imports fell 15% to 2.87 million tonnes. Higher tariff value on edible oils is supporting prices a higher level despite import duty cut by the govt. Ref Soy oil futures (Dec) may trade higher towards 1240/1245 while CPO futures (Dec) likely to trade positive towards 1140/1145 levels.

ENERGY COMPLEX

Crude oil prices slumped, driving major benchmarks to their lowest settlement levels since early October, after OPEC and the International Energy Agency warned of impending oversupply, while rising COVID-19 cases in Europe increased downside risks to demand recovery. The declines took Brent to its lowest close since Oct. 1 and U.S. crude to its lowest settlement since Oct. 7. Traders said funds apparently are weighing a greater likelihood that supply will start to outpace demand, with sharp declines in near-term futures pointing to funds closing long positions. The global oil market has been focused on the swift rise in demand against a slow increase in supply from the OPEC and its allies, along with reluctance from big U.S. shale players to overspend on drilling. However, both the IEA and OPEC in recent weeks said more supply could be coming in the next several months. OPEC Secretary General Mohammad Barkindo said the group sees signs of an oil supply surplus building from next month adding its members and allies will have to be "very, very cautious." New waves of COVID-19 cases in Europe have driven some governments to reimpose restrictions; Austria has ordered a lockdown on unvaccinated individuals. Ahead in the week price may continue to trade with bearish bias where it may take support near 5560 and face resistance near 5980. Natural gas prices were down in the previous week as output continues to rise and on forecasts for lower heating demand this week than previously expected. The decline came despite record gas futures in Asia and a 32% jump in European prices over the past three days. Ahead in the week it may trade in the range of 350-390 with huge volatility.

OTHER COMMODITIES

Cotton futures (Dec) corrected from record levels for third consecutive week due to reduced demand from mills, at higher prices and likely to trade lower towards 30500 levels with resistance at 31250. Moreover, kapas arrivals have started increasing in the physical market. Currently, cotton prices are high y/y 55% due to concerns about a likely fall in the production and demand for raw cotton exports remains firm as Indian fiber prices are competitive in global markets. World global stocks may remain low on possible surge in demand as China's imports likely to remains higher. For 2021/22, CAI has estimated cotton crop at 360.13 lakh bales higher than last year by over 7 lakh bales. Guar seed futures (Dec) closed lower for third consecutive week and expected trade in range 6200-6600 with positive bias. Currently, the prices are higher by 45% y/y on expectation of lower production, multi-year lower stocks and good export demand. The arrival of new season guar seed has declined last week as prices corrected. The area under guar this season in Rajasthan was down at 21 lakh hac, lowest acreage in a decade. Guar gum exports expected to pick-up in coming weeks due to increase in US rigs. Castor Seed (Dec) was very volatile last week and closed by 1% and likely to trade in range 6250-6650 with positive bias. Persistent export demand throughout the year for castor oil and meal is keeping the prices at higher levels as stocks are lower with the oil-mills. Castor meal exports up y/y by 16% in first 6-monhts of FY 2021/22 while Castor oil exports for Jul -Aug 2021 down y/y but higher for Apr-Aug period. However, due to higher area in Gujarat, there is expectation of higher production in the coming season may put pressure.

BASE METALS

Base metals may trade with weak bias. China's property crisis worsened on all fronts in October amid deeper contractions in construction starts and investment by developers, data showed last week. A liquidity crisis triggered by debt worries at property giant China Evergrande Group has weighed on investor sentiment towards the vast real estate sector. Chinese coal prices continued to plummet as Chinese mines ramp up production. Cheaper coal should reduce energy costs for metal smelters. Copper may move towards 678 with resistance of 740. The prices may fall as growing inventories in London Metal Exchange warehouses eased traders' concerns over tightness in global supply of the metal. In October, China's copper output fell 0.3% yearon- year, official data show. The world will need to double its copper supply and quadruple its nickel supply in the next 30 years to facilitate a decarbonised world, an executive at miner BHP said. Nickel may fall to 1465 . The nickel ore inventory continued to increase. The demand for nickel ore in China was weaker than the normal levels as the NPI production in some regions has not fully recovered. Zinc can move in the range of 255-275. In October, China's zinc output fell 9.2% from a year earlier. Lead can move in the range of 182-190. Aluminum may move to 195 with resistance of 215. In October, China's alumina production hit a 10-month low as power curbs on smelters and refiners constrained supply. Power restrictions during China's heating season might further restrict aluminium output, but potentially weak consumption from the real estate sector and from the automobile industry due to chip shortage could weigh on prices.

WEEKLY COMMENTARY

CRB was in a very tight range last week. After two weeks of upside bullion counter took downside on sharp recovery in dollar index twin weights of rallying U.S. bond yields and the dollar. Gold’s recent run-up was heightened by a Labor Department report that the U.S. Consumer Price Index, which represents a basket of products ranging from gasoline and health care to groceries and rents, rose 6.2% during the year to October. Energy counter slipped despite better than expected retail sales from US. Oil fell after an industry report showed U.S. gasoline stocks dropped more than expected last to last week, potentially heightening pressure on the Biden administration to release oil from emergency reserves to cap soaring fuel prices. With holiday season around the corner, increase in travelling demand may be the reason behind the decline in U.S. gasoline stocks. Natural gas prices rebounded slightly after closing down 13% last to last week. The weather is expected to be normal and then turn cooler than normal throughout most of the United States. However it saw a fall later on. It was a bearish week for base metals on weak property data and rising warehouse inventories in China. Prices nosedived as China's vast real estate sector has been a liquidity crisis that was triggered by debt woes at property giant China Evergrande Group. Copper breached 715 levels on MCX due to accelerated ramp-up of mine supplies and falling demand. China exported 15,545 tonnes of refined lead in September, the highest monthly tally since 2007. The country has turned significant net exporter for the first time since 2018.

As per SEA monthly data release, edible oil imports were down by 38.4% in Oct m/m while the stocks at port down 15% m/m. rise in Dalian palm and a jump in export shipments over the Nov. 1-15 period gave upside to CPO prices too. Cotton traded weak for continuous third week amid reduced demand from mills. For 2021/22, CAI has estimated cotton crop at 360.13 lakh bales higher than last year by over 7 lakh bales. Guar saw decline for third week on profit booking from higher side. Castor too traded bearish as due to higher area in Gujarat, there is expectation of higher production in the coming season. It was firm week for spices. Turmeric rose due to low acreage in Telangana and unseasonal rains. Jeera crossed 16300 as export demand for Jeera is good as production was poor in Turkey and Syria. Prices of dhaniya rose a little at Kota market due to lower arrivals and good demand.

Market Stance

The Indian rupee traded higher this week by more than a half a percent amid dollar inflows into the IPO markets as well decline in oil prices. Additionally dollar index hit 16 months high after latest economic data supported dollar in anticipation that U.S. Federal Reserve may go opt for to raise interest rates sooner. After upbeat U.S. retail sales and industrial output data, few fed official said that the U.S. central bank could speed up the taper to $30 billion a month from the current $15 billion amid inflation risks. Going forward, we do think that USDINR likely to head higher tracking the broad dollar gains. From the majors, EURUSD dropped to fresh 16- month lows as monetary policy divergence between the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank is in focus. Accordingly EURINR fell close to 84.00 as well. We think the weakness in euro will continue in the coming days and may fall below 83.80. While Sterling jumped nearly versus the US dollar after UK economy showed positive trend for labor, which supports the case for the Bank of England to hike interest rates at its next meeting in December.
