In the week gone by, global stock markets witnessed volatile movements owing to multi-year high inflation, demand slowdown and tightening of monetary policy by central banks to tame inflation. In the Wall Street Journal event, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that the bank wants to see inflation coming down in a convincing way and the bank would inch-up interest rates until it sees that. As a matter of fact, Fed has already raises rates by three quarters of a percentage point and is on course to raise half percentage-point increments in the next two meetings. Russian foreign ministry warned for consequences after Finland & Sweden formally applied for The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a move that, if approved, would fundamentally transform the security landscape of Northern Europe. In Europe, new-vehicle sales shrank for a 10th month in a row and in UK inflation rose to its highest level seen 40 years ago, adding to pressure for action from the government and central bank. Japanese economy saw contraction in the first three months of the calendar year owing to contraction in consumer spending because of covid related restrictions. In China, retail sales and factory output shrank 11.1% and 2.9% respectively in the month of April from a year earlier as wide COVID-19 lockdowns confined workers and consumers to their homes and severely disrupted supply chains. Weak economic data out of China has led to downward revision of growth estimates to 4.1% from 5% from various economists. Chinese authorities in recent weeks told local governments to bring back the economy on track.
Back at home, markets are expecting Reserve Bank of India to go for more hikes sooner as consumer price inflation for the month of April came at 7.8% higher than the RBI’s upper tolerance level of 6%. According to the monetary policy committee minutes released RBI Governor Shashikanta Das said the off-cycle monetary policy actions were aimed at lowering inflation and anchoring inflation expectations with a view to strengthening the medium-term growth prospects of the economy and protecting the purchasing power of the weaker sections of society. LIC IPO listed at a discount at a time when markets were seeing selling pressure by foreign institutional investors. Going forward, market will witness a stock specific movement as we are going into the earning season. Besides, rupee movement, crude oil prices, inflow and outflow of foreign funds will dictate the trend of the markets.
On the commodity markets front, CRB faced the resistance of 336 and failed to sustain above this level on mixed triggers. After a fall of four week, bullion counter saw a pause in downside and some lower levels buying emerged even though upside was limited. Buying may continue in bullion counter and gold and silver may trade in a range of 49600-52000 and 59000-64000 levels. Oil prices have generally been rising as Russian supply is squeezed by bans from several countries and an economic downturn due to broad sanctions on Moscow imposed by the United States and allies. Russia's production dropped by 9% in April, and the country, part of the OPEC+ group, produced far below levels required under a deal to gradually ease record output cuts made during the worst of the pandemic in 2020. Crude can trade in a wide range of 8100- 9000. Ifo Business Climate, S&P Global Manufacturing PMI Flash and, GfK Consumer Confidence and GDP Growth Rate of Germany, S&P Global/CIPS Manufacturing PMI Flash of UK, RBNZ Press Conference of New Zealand, GDP Growth Rate of Mexico, Durable Goods Orders, FOMC Minutes, GDP Growth Rate, Core PCE Price Index, PCE Price Index and Michigan Consumer Sentiment Final etc are triggers scheduled for commodities in coming days.

Last week spices counter witnessed some resistance at higher levels due to
tepid demand from the bulk buyers. Turmeric (Jun) ended in red last week due
to lack of responsive buying by the market participants on balance supply
demand situation. It made firm support on the weekly charts near 7900 while
the resistance is at 8510 levels. The support is at 7900 levels while the
resistance is at 8510 levels. It is expected to trade sideways to higher, if it
sustains above 8500 levels. Currently, export demand is normal but is
expected to pick up. Turmeric prices have corrected about 9.7% in last one
month due to lower demand and sufficient supplies in the physical market.
Moreover, lower exports also weighing on prices. As per latest export figures,
turmeric exports in Feb 2022 were lower by 17% y/y at 10400 tonnes vs 12,575
tonnes while in FY 2021/22 (Apr-Feb), exports down 20% at 1.37 lakh tons
compared to last year but higher by 8.3% compared with 5-year average.
Jeera (Jun) broke the previous week high but faced resistance at higher levels
to close lower last week. The prices are expected to trade sideways to higher,
if it sustains above 22500 levels. The demand for cumin seed for exports will
improve after easing of supply chain disruption due to covid restrictions in
China. Currently, prices are higher by 54% y/y on lower crop estimates.
Traders expect jeera production in 2021/22 sharply lower at 5.0-6.0 mln bags
(1 bag = 55 kg) from 8.0-8.5 mln bags the previous year. As per govt data, jeera
exports in Feb 2022 down by 23.6% Y/Y at 14000 tonnes compared to 18300
tonnes while exports for FY 2021/22 (Apr-Feb) period is also down by 23% Y/Y
at 2.02 lt compared to 2.62 lt last year.
Dhaniya (May) traded within the previous week range but closed in red last
week. Some recovery from the lower levels has been witnessed and now the
support is at 11200 levels while the resistance is seen at 11930 levels. It is
expected that prices will trade sideways to higher towards 12350 levels, if it
sustains above 11700 levels. Prices are down 6% in last one month due to
slowdown in demand. The processors and traders are buying as per their
requirements as market prices are ruling higher by 58% y/y and up 27% since

Feb 2022 up 5.5% y/y at 3320 tonnes compared to 3150 tonnes last year while

Gold poised for its first weekly gains since mid-April, as the dollar's pullback from two-decade highs and mounting concerns over US economic growth revived demand for safe-haven bullion. Prices of greenback-priced bullion have climbed about 1.9% this week, in tandem with what is set to be the dollar's first weekly loss in seven. Recession fears are now giving way to US growth fears, and the latter is helping gold, but said the US Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hike path and quantitative tightening would still be major down-drafts for gold. As bullion yields no interest, it can become less attractive to investors when short-term US interest rates are hiked. It is, however, seen as a safe store of value during times of economic crises. The US central bank will lift interest rates higher by the end of this year than anticipated just a month ago, keeping alive already-significant risks of a recession. An economic recession in the U.S. is now on the minds of traders and investors who were already saddled with other concerns, including the Russia-Ukraine war and Covid cases causing major cities in China to be on lockdown, which is disrupting global trade. Meanwhile, China cut its benchmark reference rate for mortgages by an unexpectedly wide margin on Friday, its second reduction this year as Beijing seeks to revive the ailing housing sector to prop up the economy. Ahead in the week, gold prices continued to trade in the range of 49800-51800 levels, where buying near support and sell near resistance is advised. On the flip side, silver may also witness positive move and range would be 59000-64000.
Crude oil prices traded in a wide range throughout the week where it took support near 8100 and faced resistance near 8900 levels. Market witnessed this kind of move amid concerns the surging inflation, and the associated monetary policy tightening will curtail retail spending, severely impacting future growth. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned earlier in week said that there could be some economic pain involved in bringing inflation down, and there were fresh signs that the U.S. economy is starting to cool down, as lay-offs hit a 10-week high and a closely watched survey of manufacturing activity took a sharp turn for the worse. The commercial hub of Shanghai has recorded a fourth consecutive day without any new infections outside the most locked-down areas, but restrictions won't be fully eased until early in June. It is pretty clear that with China’s COVID-zero policy, demand risks will continue to linger. Also weighing is the idea that the EU’s proposed sanctions package won’t in any case spell the total end of Russian exports to Europe, given the strong opposition from a number of eastern European countries, Hungary in particular, leaving European buyers having to cover a slightly less acute supply shortfall. Ahead in the week, crude oil may continue to witness both side movements where it may take support near 8400 and could face resistance near 9000. Natural gas traded higher as higher European prices keep U.S. LNG exports strong even though Europe has more gas in storage compared with normal than the United States. Ahead in the week prices may continue to trade higher where it may take support near 600 and face resistance near 690.
Base metals may trade with positive bias as easing COVID-19 restrictions in top metals consumer China lifted expectations of a recovery in demand while aggressive U.S. rate-hike bets and a batch of poor economic reading from major nations has led to slowdown concerns and may weigh on industrial metals demand. China cut its benchmark reference rate for mortgages by a bigger-than-expected margin at its May fixing, a second reduction this year, as Beijing is keen to revive credit demand to prop up the economy. The U.S. Federal Reserve will lift interest rates higher by the end of this year than anticipated just a month ago, keeping alive already-significant risks of a recession, a Reuters poll of economists found. Permits for future U.S. homebuilding tumbled to a five-month low in April, suggesting the housing market was slowing amid rising mortgage rates. Copper may trade in the range 760-795. According to the International Energy Agency, global copper demand for solar cells could triple by 2040, with demand potentially more than doubling to 600kt for wind power over the same timeframe. Aluminum may trade in the range of 235-260. Declining aluminium inventory across China and Indonesia’s banning of export bauxite are boosting SHFE aluminium prices. According to the customs data, China imported 6.768 million ton of bauxite from Indonesia in the first quarter of 2022, up 118% year-on-year. Zinc can trade in the range of 310-335 with positive bias. The global refined zinc market is expected to register a supply shortfall of 292,000 tonnes this year, according to the International Lead and Zinc Study Group. Lead can move in the range of 177-189.
Cotton (May) again reached all-time high of 50330 levels due to lower supplies
and persistent domestic demand from the textile industries. Prices have
corrected from higher levels as government hint on banning exports from the
country. Now it has the support at 48300 while resistance at 50330 levels. It is
expected that it will trade sideways in the range of support and resistance and
breakout in ay range will decide the trend. Currently, cotton prices in the
country is higher by more than 123% y/y and ruling at a premium to global
prices in view of production being lower than last year, rising demand and nonavailability
of quality cotton. In its May 2022 monthly report, USDA cut global
cotton production for 2021/22 by 1.8 million bales from last month, largely
due to a drop of 1.0 million bales from India. As per CAI, domestic cotton
arrivals down 17% or 58.88 lakh bales to 277.49 lakh bales compared to 336.37
lakh bales last year and also cut cotton production forecast by 11.50 lakh bales
in May to 323.63 lakh bales compared to 335.13 lakh bales.
Guar seed (Jun) closed in red last week and traded within the range of
pervious week’s range due to balanced supply and demand conditions. Now
support is seen at 5900 levels while the resistance is at 6150 and is likely to
trade sideways to lower towards 5700, if it sustains below the support levels.
Currently, the prices are higher by about 39% y/y due to lower production,
multi-year lower stocks and good export demand. The US oil rig count is also
higher at 563 up by about 211 as compared to last year. In Mar 2022, Guar gum
exports are higher by 9.4% y/y at 26377 tonnes while exports in 2021/22 up by
39% y/y at 3.21 lt compared 2.34 lt last FY. Guargum exports were down about
20% in last FY compared to previous five-year average of 4 lt exports.
Last week, Castor seed (Jun) climbed to fresh all-time high of 7658 levels and
traded positively for the second consecutive week. Now the support is near 7420
levels while resistance is at 7670 levels. It is expected to trade in a range but
sustain above resistance may take pries higher towards 8000 levels. Currently,
prices are very responsive at lower levels on improving industrial demand and
jumped 28% this year while about 47.5% higher on year due to lower production
estimates. The demand-supply balance sheet remains tight as estimated. As per
SEA, castor meal exports are down 7.7% y/y at 25758 tonnes in Apr 2022, while
overall exports in first 4-months in 2022 also lower by 4.4% at 1.26 lt vs 1.31 lt due
to higher export prices by 95% y/y at $141 per ton compared to $72 last year.
Despite higher prices, the exports have not much affected. Castor oil exports in
FY201/22 down 4.5% at 6.55 lakh tonnes due to 30% increase in export prices this
season. Exports are down 17% y/y to 1.4 lt during Jan-Mar period.

CRB faced the resistance of 336 levels and failed to sustain above this level on mixed triggers. After a fall of four week, bullion counter saw a pause in downside and some lower levels buying emerged though upside was limited. Fall in dollar index and US treasury yield supported the lower levels buying. Gold rose slightly as a retreat in U.S. Treasury yields offset headwinds from a relatively firm dollar, which, along with looming interest rate hikes, earlier pushed bullion to a more than three-and-a-half-month low. Silver has found itself caught up in the broader sell-off in equities and gold, being punished for being an industrial metal at a time when growth forecasts are being trimmed. In the energy counter, natural gas prices augmented while crude prices depreciated from higher levels. After hitting seven-week highs, oil prices slumped 2% as Reuters reported that the United States could ease some restrictions on Venezuela's government, raising hopes that the market could see some additional supplies. Prices also fell after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned the economy could be hurt by attempts to reduce inflation. Powell suggested there could be some economic pain involved in bringing inflation down. Concerns are growing that tighter monetary policies from the U.S. Federal Reserve and other global central banks could impact economic growth. With the Federal Reserve focused on taming inflation via rate hikes and a shrinking balance sheet beginning in June, bond managers have been adding long-dated Treasuries to their portfolios to take advantage of a flattening yield curve and also as a form of insurance should risk assets fall further. China is expected to cut benchmark lending rates at its monthly fixing on Friday, a second reduction this year, a Reuters survey showed, as it seeks to prop up credit demand to cushion an economic slowdown due to COVID-19 disruptions. The loan prime rate (LPR), which banks normally charges their best clients, is set on the 20th of each month, when 18 designated commercial banks submit their proposed rates to the People's Bank of China. In base metals, aluminum, zinc and copper appreciated while nickel and lead remained traded weak. Aluminium inventories in the LME warehouses, already at their lowest in nearly 17 years, are likely to fall further over coming days and weeks, as more metal leaves the LME system and heads for Europe where supplies are scarce.
Agri mostly traded in red. Astor continued its uptrend on improving industrial demand. Castor seed prices have jumped 27% this year while about 47% higher on year due to lower production estimates. Guar counter was down on dull export demand. Spices counter slipped due to selling at higher prices by market participants.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, many countries have implemented several rounds of sanctions on Moscow to increase economic pressure the Russia. Australia, Britain, Canada and the United States have imposed complete bans on Russian oil purchases, while Group of Seven (G7) nations, including Japan, committed to ban or phase out imports of Russian oil by the end of the year. But due to high dependency on Russian oil & gas, the 27-nation European bloc had not sanctioned immediately on import of oil & gas from Russia. Now the European Commission has also decided to join team. The bloc had proposed the ban on Russian oil imports on May 4.
The European Union, however, has not been able to agree on the ban so far, mainly due to opposition from landlocked member states heavily dependent on Russian supplies, such as Hungary. In April, the block accounted for 43% of Russia's oil exports, down from around 50% at the start of the year, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Countries buying Russian oil
Global energy prices are likely to surge once the Russian oil embargo is implemented and all 27 EU governments are not agree to the proposed ban. This situation could penalize consumers already struggling with inflation and ultimately derail the economic recovery from the pandemic.
The Indian Rupee continued to reverses its losses from the latest life-time low after deep intervention from RBI to offload dollars as well as aggressive exporters hedging at a time when forward premia is yielding better carry. Additionally India's benchmark 10-Y yield gradually heading higher in anticipation of frontloading rate hike from RBI in coming June meeting. Inevitably expectations of 40-50 bps hikes in June are keeping the rupee stable relative to its Asian peers. On technical ground breach below 77.43 on spot will drift the pair to 77.00 as well as resistance now placed at 77.95 on weekly basis. Meanwhile dollar index extended losses after yesterday's weekly US Initial Jobless claims came in at 218K which is above the 200K expected with prior week revised down to 197. The Philly Fed Business Outlook Index for May came in at 2.6, much less than the estimates of 15 and much lower than April's 17.6 which casted doubt over Fed’s rate hike path. Additionally the Fed warns of an aggressive hiking path, saying that the central bank could raise rates above the neutral rate. This could come at a cost to the economy, vowing to push until inflation falls. Going forward we think EURINR has scope to rise towards 82.60 while GBPINR may hit 97.30 as well in the wake of a weaker dollar mode.
