In the week gone by, global markets witnessed volatile session amid concerns that the new Covid variant may deal a severe blow to global economic recovery. The fear of new Covid variant is likely to haunt the commodity prices across the globe and also may keep Central bankers across the globe to re-look for withdrawal of stimulus in their respective economies in case infection rises and poses threat to economic recovery. On the flip sides, minutes of the Federal Reserve’s November policy meeting, released after Indian trading hours on Wednesday showed that various members were in favor of adopting a faster pace of bond tapering or rollback of quantitative easing amid runaway inflation in the US. The minutes also hinted at a potentially faster pace of tightening monetary policy. European markets also witnessed volatile due to fears around Europe’s worsening COVID-19 situation and the prospect of severe restrictions restrained the market. November was the fifth month running of falling German business morale, blamed on supply bottlenecks in manufacturing and a spike in coronavirus infections, raising the prospect that Europe’s biggest economy could stagnate in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, the services producer price index hit 105.4 in October, the highest since November 2001, Bank of Japan (BOJ) data showed on Thursday.
Back at home, weak global cues, persistent FII selling, news of new Covid variant found in South Africa and premium valuation had roiled the sentiments of the market participants. Also hawkish comments by several officials of the US Federal Reserve fuelled speculation of interest rates rising sooner than later in the world’s largest economy, spoil the broth in the domestic markets. Meanwhile, Moody’s expects India's economic growth to rebound strongly, pegging GDP growth of 9.3% and 7.9% in the fiscal year 2022 (ending on 31 March 2022) and fiscal 2023, respectively. Additional support also came in as Foreign Secretary said that India has set an ambitious target of $400 billion of exports for the year 2021-22. Going forward market will take direction from outcomes of macroeconomic data, Inflow and outflow of Foreign as well as domestic institutional fund, crude oil prices and Rupee movement amid global factors. Besides, Investors would track covid situation in Europe for market direction.
On the commodity market front, once again CRB took support near 250 level on recovery in energy and base metals pack, despite the speedy upside in dollar index in last four week from 93.87-96.93 level. The minutes from the Fed’s meeting, showed that a growing number of Federal Reserve policymakers indicated they would be open to speeding up the elimination of their bond-buying program if high inflation held and move more quickly to raise interest rates. Policymakers also signaled a willingness to hike interest rates quicker than planned, if needed. It stimulated selling pressure in bullion and it is likely to remain trade in a range. The fear of new variant of Covid has also spooked the confidence of the Crude prices. Thus it is expected that crude will trade in the range of 5300-6000 levels. However, investors will also continue to track the development of OPEC+ meeting, which is scheduled on 2 December 2021. Besides, US will release millions of barrels of oil from strategic reserves in coordination with China, India, South Korea, Japan and Britain, to try to cool price. Inflation Rate, Unemployment Change, Unemployment Rate of Germany, NBS Manufacturing PMI of China, GDP Growth Rate of Italy, Australia and Canada, Core Inflation Rate of Euro Area, Markit Manufacturing PMI Final, Non Farm Payrolls, Unemployment Rate and ISM Manufacturing PMI of US, Employment Change and Unemployment Rate of Canada etc are major triggers for the market this week.

Turmeric futures (Dec) surged to 3-month high of 8140 last week, but then witnessed sharp fall to trade at 7500 levels. We expected trade in a range with support 7350 and resistance at 7700 levels with positive bias. There is expectation of crop damage due to persistence rains in southern parts of the country. On the export front, it is comparatively lower this FY but still at par with 5-year average. In the first 6-months (Apr-Sep) of FY 2021/22, exports down 26% to 77,250 tons Vs last year. This year the prices are higher by 38-40% as compared to last year. Jeera futures (Dec) witnessed first weekly drop in 6- weeks from 2-year higher levels. We expect further corrections towards 15,200 levels with resistance at 16350 levels. There is expectation of improved arrivals in physical market as area under jeera in Gujarat is fast improving. As on 23-Nov it was only 63,144 ha Vs 1.68 lakh ha last year while in Rajasthan jeera is sown in 3.20 lakh hac. Export demand for Jeera is improving due to poor production in Turkey and Syria. As per Govt. data, exports of jeera for Jan-Sep were higher by 1% y/y at 2.07 lakh tonnes and expected to improve in coming months. Dhaniya futures (Dec) seen correcting from its 6-year high levels but close positive for the 3rd successive week. We see support at 8500 levels and breaking these levels will take prices lower to 8200. Sowing is in progress in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh while exports are not picking up at higher prices. As per govt. data, exports have been down 12.7% during Apr-Sep period to 24,500 tonnes Vs 28,000 tonnes last year but 11% higher compared to 5-year average.
Gold prices slipped to a three-week low as robust U.S. economic data lifted the dollar and Treasury yields, with jitters around a sooner-than-expected interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve adding to the downbeat mood. On the contrary, concerns over the spread of a newly identified coronavirus variant boosted the metal's safe-haven appeal, although bullion was set for a weekly drop on bets of U.S. Federal Reserve turning more hawkish. The variant spreading in South Africa may evade immune responses and has prompted Britain and a growing number of other countries to hurriedly introduce travel restrictions on the African nation. Further aiding gold's climb, the dollar index eased 0.2% from a 16-month peak, while U.S. benchmark 10- year Treasury yields also weakened. But the metal was heading for its worst week since Aug. 6 on increased expectations that the Fed could taper its asset purchases and raise interest rates at a faster pace. A rate hike cycle is generally negative for gold, but need to keep an eye on this new COVID variant - if it spreads to the United States, that could weaken growth and can't expect the Fed hiking rates in that environment. On the technical front, Gold on COMEX looks good as prices are again breaking above the psychological level of $1800 and the chart formations are suggesting more buying can be witnessed form here. Short term resistance for the commodity is seen near $1840 whereas $1770 remains the key support for bulls. On MCX, gold price may continue to trade with positive bias where it may approach towards its resistance of 48800 with support of 46700 levels. Silver may trade in the range of 61500-68000 levels with positive bias.
Soybean futures (Dec) made positive move for the fifth successive week due to improving demand from the feed manufacturers in the country. We expect it to trade in a range 6500-7100 with positive bias. Support is at 6200 levels. Soybean prices jumped more than 12% in a week in India, as many of India's farmers are holding onto to soybeans instead of selling them to oilseed processors. The All India Poultry Breeders Association requested the government to allow imports of 550,000 tonnes of soymeal. As per SOPA, soybean arrivals in October were lower at 15 lakh tonnes (lt) compared to 18 lt last year. Crushing demand of soybean is improving due to declining imports of edible oil. Soybean production in India revised higher by 8% m/m to 11.9 mt by USDA in Nov monthly report. *Edible oil prices* traded sideways to lower last week tracking mixed trend in international prices. Malaysian palm oil futures edged lower last week on lower than expected increase in export estimates and weakness in crude oil. Moreover, higher production data of Malaysian palm oil products m/m during Nov 1-20 also put pressure on prices. However, US soybean oil jumped 4%. In India, edible oil prices increased until first 3 weeks of November but now correcting but downtrend is limited on improving demand, lower imports and declining. Moreover, hike in tariff value by more than 1% on 15-Nov also support edible prices. As per SEA, edible oil imports were down by 38.4% in Oct m/m while the stocks at port down 15% m/m. Ref Soy oil futures (Dec) may trade in range of 1195 -1300 with positive bias while CPO futures (Dec) likely to trade sideways to higher with support at 1100 and resistance at 1180.
Oil prices slide more than 4% on concerns that a global supply surplus could swell in the first quarter following a U.S.-led coordinated release of crude reserves among major consumers and as a new COVID-19 variant spooked investors. Oil prices are likely dropped in tandem with wider financial markets on concerns the new variant would hit demand by limiting movements again, while market participation has fallen due to the U.S. holidays. U.S. President Joe Biden's administration announced plans on to release millions of barrels of oil from strategic reserves in coordination with other large consuming nations, including China, India and Japan, to try to cool prices. On 29th Nov. world powers and Iran will resume negotiations to revive a 2015 nuclear deal that could lead to the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil exports. High oil prices have added to inflationary concerns. Ahead in the week, crude prices may continue to trade with mixed bias where it may take support near 5400 levels and could face resistance near 5730 levels. The rising natural gas prices in recent months reflect U.S. natural gas inventory levels that are below the five-year (2016–20) average. Despite high prices demand for natural gas for electric power generation has remained relatively high, which along with strong global demand for U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) has limited downward natural gas price pressures. Cool conditions linger across the US which results in return to strong national demand. Ahead in the week prices may continue to trade with positive bias where buying is expected from lower level. Support for the counter is seen near 355 levels and resistance near 420 levels.
Cotton futures (Dec) have recovered about 1% last week after three weeks of decline. Now, it is likely to trade in a range 31660 – 33250 with positive bias. Support is at 31420 levels. Current cotton prices are high 55-60% y/y due to concerns over production and higher demand for raw cotton for exports. The daily arrivals are lower than usual so stocks with mills is low and with domestic yarn demand is good, buying from mill will be continue. Guar seed futures (Dec) continued to close lower for the 4th consecutive week due to profit booking at higher levels and arrivals of new season crop. We expect prices to trade in a range with support at 5700 and resistance at 6270 levels. Currently, prices are up 50% y/y on expectation of lower production, multi-year lower stocks and good export demand. The arrival of new season guar seed may decline as prices slipped to one-month low. In Sep, Guar gum exports are higher by 30% y/y at 24,800 tonnes while exports in 2021/22 (Apr-Sep) are up by 43% y/y at 1.58 lakh tonnes. Castor Seed (Dec) closed in green for first time in last 4-weeks. It is likely to trade sideways to higher with support at 6370 and resistant at 6550. We have witnessed persistent export demand throughout the year for castor oil and meal. Castor meal exports up 7% y/y in first 10- months of FY 2021 at 3 lakh tonnes Vs 2.8 lt while Castor oil exports for Jan-Oct higher by about 10% at 5.94 lakh tonnes y/y despite higher prices of castor oil by 30% compared to last year. In 1st advance estimate, production in Gujarat is expected at 14 lakh tonnes Vs 13.5 lt last year.
Base metals may trade with negative bias as a newly identified COVID-19 variant in South Africa and expectations of faster-than-expected U.S. rate hikes fuelled concerns of an economic slowdown. Minutes of the U.S. Federal Reserve's last policy meeting showed a growing number of policymakers being open to speeding up the central bank's tapering programme. The U.S. economy is accelerating, but surging coronavirus infections threaten German growth. The new variant announcement prompted Britain to introduce travel restrictions on South Africa and five neighbouring countries. But low inventories pointed to tight supply and Chinese efforts to support its economy may provide some cushion to the industrial metals. China has announced measures to support its debt-ridden property sector. Copper may trade in the range 720-750 levels. The Kamoa-Kakula project in the Democratic Republic of Congo is starting to ramp up. It produced 41,545 tonnes of copper concentrate in the third quarter, with year-to-date production of more than 77,500 tonnes as of Nov. 15. Zinc can move in the range of 260-285 levels. Lead can move in the range of 180-190 levels. Nickel may trade in the range of 1530- 1600 levels on-warrant nickel inventories in LME-registered warehouses have fallen to 62,304 tonnes from more than 200,000 tonnes in April. Tight supply has pushed cash nickel's premium over the three-month LME contract to $194 a tonne, the highest since 2019. Aluminum may move in the range of 205-220 levels. The stocks of aluminium billet in five major consumption areas of China dropped 11,700 mt to 100,500 mt on November 18 from a week ago, a decrease of 10.43%. And the inventory has been falling for five straight weeks.

Once again CRB took support near 250 levels on recovery in energy and base metals pack, despite the speedy upside in dollar index in last four week; from 93.87-96.93. The minutes from the Fed’s meeting, released on Wednesday, a growing number of Federal Reserve policymakers indicated they would be open to speeding up the elimination of their bond-buying program if high inflation held and move more quickly to raise interest rates. It gave a jolt to bullion prices. In energy counter, both crude and natural gas revived despite SPR release talk. US has launched an auction for 32 million barrels of crude from four strategic petroleum reserves (SPR) sites to be delivered between late-December and April 2022. US will release millions of barrels of oil from strategic reserves in coordination with China, India, South Korea, Japan and Britain, to try to cool prices after OPEC+ producers repeatedly ignored calls for more crude. Some of the cartel’s delegates warned that releasing strategic reserves may lead to the alliance holding back crude supply in January raised crude prices. Meanwhile, Wednesday's U.S. crude oil supply data from EIA showed a build of 1.017 million barrels for the week ended November 19. US natural gas storage fields are expected to post the first net withdrawal of the winter season, which should be about half the five-year average; sent natural gas prices higher. Base metals saw surge despite mediocre data as market reacted on the news that regulators in China have told some banks to issue more loans to property companies, baring lead. Further price support came from signs of tight supply, with stocks of most metals in LME warehouses falling and contracts for quickly deliverable material trading at a premium.
Soybean prices appreciated further. Currently, farmers are holding back their new season crop in anticipation of higher prices and selling limited quantities to meet their immediate financial needs. Crushing demand of soybean is improving due to declining imports of edible oil. India, edible oil prices started to recover in November due to improving demand, lower imports and declining. Moreover, hike in tariff value by more than 1% on 15-Nov also support edible prices. As per SEA, edible oil imports were down by 38.4% in Oct m/m while the stocks at port down 15% m/m. The daily arrivals in mandi are lower than usual so stocks with mills is low. With domestic demand for the yarn is good buying from mill will be continued. 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-months of FY 2021/22 while Castor oil exports for Apr-Oct higher by 3.5% at 4.15 lakh tonnes despite higher prices of castor oil by 30% y/y.
Silver is a well-known industrial commodity. It is most versatile metal from industrial use to decoration; technology, photography and medicine. Silver had witnessed overall weak demand last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which crippled the industrial sector that accounts for roughly 60% of the global silver consumption. Demand from jewelers was also muted. Investment demand was the only saving grace with the metal gaining on its safe-haven demand. However, with the resumption of businesses and the ongoing economic recovery this year, silver demand has picked up in industrial, photography, jewelry, and silverware. Investment purposes have been contributing to the momentum as well.
Important fact about silver demand
The ongoing revolution in green technologies, aided by high growth of new energy vehicles and investment in solar photovoltaic energy, will act as a major catalyst for silver in the days ahead.
Indian Rupee edged lower by more than a quarter percent this week after dollar strength continues. However there was a great divergence seen in Indian Rupee and Dollar globally as rupee remains over largely overvalued against its Asian peers. Additionally exporter dollar sales were the front reason for capping any major fall in rupee. Going forward we think USDINR largely will remain in a range of 74.20 - 74.75 levels before RBI policy in early December. Additionally a pickup in covid cases across Europe, along with growing inflation concerns, weighs on risk sentiment which pushed dollar index to 16 months high and may weigh our domestic currency in the coming days. From the majors, sterling has continued its decline below 1.34 vs dollar and 100 vs rupee as Brexit headlines continue to weigh on sentiment. This week UK Manufacturing and Services PMI both beat expectations; however had little impact on the currency. We think the weakness in pound-rupee will continue and may fall below 99.00 as well. While euro fell below 1.12 as the greenback held strength ahead amid German IFO showed that business climate contracted for the fifth month. In rupee terms, next week EURINR is likely to fall towards 83.30.
