In the week gone by, Global stock markets moved higher as an increase in US jobless claims signaled some cooling in the economy, bringing optimism about the direction of interest rate hikes. Actually, the US Federal Reserve and other central banks have hiked rates in efforts to rein in runaway inflation, but investors fear the aggressive stance could spark a recession as higher borrowing costs slow economic activity. Investors across the globe earlier cheered the easing of the China's strict zero-Covid controls, which had hammered the world's second-largest economy. But they are now worried about the impact of the outbreak on global supply chains and inflation. In Europe, Germany shrugged off Russia's ban on oil sales to countries and companies that comply with a price cap on its crude exports. This came after the price ceiling of $60 per barrel agreed by the European Union, G7 and Australia came into force this month, in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. On the data front, Japan’s factory output shrank for a third straight month in November as cooling demand overseas pushed production levels further below pre-pandemic levels. The continued weakness in output supports the Bank of Japan’s view that the economy’s fragile recovery is still in need of support.
Back at home, even though the domestic market scaled their fresh peaks at the beginning of December, the markets were fraught with volatility through the rest of the month. Actually, mixed global cues alongside worries over China's Covid surge impact on supply chains and inflation ahead limited the upside. Silver lining was that despite net outflow of FPI's, a positive trend was seen in the domestic markets as DII's were the net buyers. India's current account deficit (CAD) surged to an all-time high of $36.4 billion in July-September. The latest CAD figure is double the $18.2 billion posted in April-June and nearly four times of what it was in the second quarter of FY22. Year 2022 was full of political, geopolitical, policies, inflation related issues. We started the year 2022 with geopolitical tensions. Firstly Russia and Ukraine started and then China and Taiwan. Some kind of disturbances was seen between Saudi Arabia and the USA. The tension increased when G-20 put many sanctions over the Russia. Some military activities were also seen on India and China borders. So the year 2022 was full of events. Going forward, the new year 2023 is expected to be yet another volatile Year but with positive bias. Fundamentally things are looking positive in the contest of India. Globally, there is an expectation that war may end from the side of Russia as Russia is expecting to be ready to talk with Ukraine. Energy prices are expected to trade lower thus this may cool off inflation. Interest rates may peak out and China may come out from Covid, which is likely to give much needed support to the global economy.
On the commodity market front, Commodities traded in a tight range in the last trading week of the year. Volume was thin as the week was holiday shortened and high important data was almost none. Dollar index tried to gained support but was in slim spread, closed marginally below 104 levels. Market participants will return after a long holiday and market may witness some big moves. Gold and silver are likely to stay in upper base and can trade in a range of 53800-5588 levels and 67500-71000 levels respectively. Base metals may trade in a range with a bearish bias on expected negative data this week amid rising covid cases in China. NBS Manufacturing PMI of China, Unemployment Change, Inflation Rate and Unemployment Rate data of Germany, Inflation Rate of France, ISM Manufacturing PMI, Non-Farm Payrolls, Unemployment Rate, ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI and FOMC Minutes of US, Inflation Rate of Italy, Balance of Trade of Canada, Core Inflation Rate of Euro Area, etc are some data, which will give much-needed direction to the commodities after long holidays.
May the New Year bring you happiness, peace and prosperity. Wishing you a joyous 2023!

Turmeric prices are expected to trade sideways to down due to muted domestic demand. Improved crop condition in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and hand to mouth buying by millers are likely to keep prices under pressure in near term. However, downfall will be capped by weaker production outlook for upcoming season. Growing fear of Corona will drive the market up as demand from health care industry is likely to increase. Export demand has been good in year 2022 and is expected to improve further. India exported about 99 thousand tonnes of turmeric during Jan’22-Oct’22 compared to 89 thousand tonnes of previous year for corresponding period. About 8.5 thousand tonnes of turmeric arrived at major trading centers across India so far in Dec’22 compared to 18.8 thousand tonnes of previous year. Turmeric Apr prices are expected to trade in range of 8000-8600.
Jeera NCDEX Jan soared up further for new high at futures platform tracking supportive cues from physical market. Supply tightness at major trading centers and weaker production outlook for upcoming season backed by fall in acreages kept prices higher. About 2.68 lakh hectares were sown under jeera in Gujarat till 26th Dec’22 compared to 2.86 lakh hectares of previous year, down by 6% Y-o-Y. However, profit booking is likely to be seen soon as marginal buyers are away from bulk buying due to higher prices. Jeera Jan prices are likely to trade in range of 30700-31500.
Dhaniya NCDEX Jan prices are expected to trade mixed to higher on renewed buying at physical market. Buyers are showing interest at prevailing levels as prices has dropped to the lowest level of last 13 months. Rally in relative spices prices (jeera) is likely to keep market sentiments up for coriander as well. However, gains will be capped by better production outlook for upcoming season. Area under dhaniya in Gujarat in year 2022 reported at 2.20 lakh hectares as on 26thDec compared to 1.23lakh hectares of previous year, higher by 78% Y-o-Y. Dhaniya NCDEX Jan Prices are likely to trade in range of 8000-8700.
Bullion counter was on wild swing throughout the year. COMEX gold closed in a range whereas silver closed with marginal gain. Rise in dollar index, baked by record interest rate hike by Fed muted the gold rally in 2022. The dollar index eyed a yearly rise of more than 8%. However, gold prices have risen nearly $200 from a more than two-year low hit in September on hopes that the U.S. central bank might slow its pace of rate hikes. Story was little different in domestic market. As rupee hit record low and traded mostly on lower side; added premium in domestic gold and silver. Both gold and silver closed with more than 4% gain. Currently, markets are expecting the U.S. central bank to raise interest rates to a peak between 5.00% and 5.25% in the first half of the year. As recession fears grow; gold will remain hot favorite for investors. Although inflation has fallen from its highs in the summer, there is a fear that inflation is becoming unanchored in 2023. On weekly basis, bullion counter remained firm on increasing covid numbers in China amid travelling restriction in many countries from China. Fall in dollar index below 104 also given strength to the bullion counter. This week, market participants will rejoin after long holidays and some expected weaker data’s are likely to give further support to the bullion prices. Gold and silver will trade a range of 53800-55800 and 67500- 71000 respectively with upside bias.
Crude oil may trade with bearish bias on an uncertain demand outlook as more countries considered restrictions on Chinese travelers with COVID-19 infections spreading in the top oil-importing nation. Britain is reviewing whether to impose restrictions on people arriving from China. The United States, Japan, India and Taiwan have already imposed testing on arrivals from the country. Meanwhile, TC Energy Corp said the 622,000-barrel-per-day Keystone pipeline was now operational, weeks after a major oil spill in rural Kansas. U.S. crude oil inventories rose unexpectedly last week as imports climbed and exports fell, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said. Oil prices posted a second straight annual gain, albeit a meagre one, in a year mixed fundamentals of Ukraine conflict, a strong dollar and weak demand from the world's top crude importer China. Brent closed 2022 with almost 5.5% gain after rising 50.2% in 2021. Prices surged in second quarter to a peak of $139.13 a barrel, a level not seen since 2008, after Russia invaded Ukraine and sparked supply and energy security concerns. Sell on the rise at the resistance of 6770 levelsand support will be 6100 levels. The natural gas futures may continue to face selling pressure as the demand and supply could favor the bears as weather patterns are set to change after Dec. 28, 2022. According to NatGasWeather for December 29 – January 5, “Warmer than normal conditions will rule the southern and eastern halves of the U.S and overall, very low national demand is expected in coming days. But short covering at lower level cannot be denied as it is trading in oversold zone. Natural gas prices may trade in the range of 360-420.
Base metals may trade in the range as surging COVID-19 infections in top consumer China fuelled fears of an economic slowdown while tight supplies amid falling inventories may support the counter. Spikes in China's COVID-19 cases and the Lunar New Year holiday next month are expected to dampen metals demand in the world's top consumer of industrial metals, although supply concerns could lend some support. On other side, China will boost fiscal spending "appropriately" in 2023 to support the slowing economy, the finance ministry said. Copper may trade in the range of 695-745 levels. Attention is also focused on a dispute over taxes between Panama's government and First Quantum Minerals. The company's Cobre Panama mine produced 331,000 tonnes of copper last year. China's top copper smelters agreed on a guidance price for treatment and refining charges (TC/RCs) for copper concentrate in the first quarter of 2023, rather than setting the typical floor price, suggesting there will be more flexibility in purchasing negotiations next year. Zinc can trade in the range of 255-280 levels. Lead can move in the range of 183-194 levels. Worries about supplies and dwindling stocks of the battery material in LME approved warehouses, which at 25,000 tonnes are near 15-year lows may support the counter. The scramble for lead has also created a hefty premium for the cash over the three-month lead contract. Aluminum may trade in the range of 200-220 levels. Some Japanese aluminium buyers have agreed to pay global producers a premium of $86 per tonne over the benchmark price for January-March shipments, down 13% from the current quarter. Steel long (Jan) is likely to trade in the range of 47500-50000 levels on NCDEX.
Kapas NCDEX Apr prices are expected to trade higher due to lower supplies in the market. Demand for Indian cotton has improved after recent fall in prices that prompted ginners to increase their ginning activities. Domestic supplies of Kapas is still ruling below normal as farmers are reluctant to release stocks in anticipation of further rise in prices. There is a steep drop in cotton arrivals in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and Punjab. However, growing fear of recession and surging cases of corona in China is likely to keep the demand prospects subdued that will cap the major gains in prices. Kapas prices are likely to trade in range of 1580-1670.
Cotton seed oil cake NCDEX (Jan) futures are likely to trade on positive note due to increased demand at physical market. Supply tightness in oil seed cakes across India is likely to support firmness in prices. However, profit booking is likely to be seen later part of next week as increasing ginning activities will lead to rise in supplies across India. Prices are likely to trade in range of 2700- 3100.
Guar seed Jan futures are likely to trade higher on improved buying in domestic market. Tighter pipeline stocks with guar millers have sparked renewed buying. Export demand for gum is also improved that is likely to keep prices higher in near term. India exported about 219.8 thousand tonnes of guar gum in year 2021 and has exported about 208 thousand tonnes till Oct’22 in year 2022. Demand of churi and korma has been good that will cap the excessive losses in prices. Supply can increase at higher level that may cap the excessive gains as overall arrivals has been lower to below normal so far in year 2022-23 due to hoarding. Guar seed prices are likely to trade in range of 5800-6300 in near term.
Mentha oil Jan is likely to trade in mixed to down as profit booking is likely to be extended further due to limited buying in market. Export demand for menthol is likely to be slow down in wake of slowdown in economic activities in China that will put pressure on prices. However, supplies have been tighter due to lower production in year 2022 that has affected the pace of arrivals as well. Prices are likely to honor the resistance of 1040 and expected to move town towards 990.
Castor seed (Jan) prices are likely to trade on weaker note in wake of sluggish export demand. Growing fear of recession and increased cases of corona pandemic in China is likely to keep export demand of castor oil down that result into fall in crushing activities. Millers are avoiding bulk buying in wake of commencement of new crop of castor after Jan. Supply tightness in physical market is likely to restrict the major downfall in prices. Going forward, castor seed prices are likely to trade in range of 6800-7400.

Commodities traded in a tight range in the last trading week of the year. Volume was thin as the week was holiday-shortened and highly important data was almost none. The dollar index tried to gain support but was in a slim spread, closed marginally below 104 levels. In the energy counter, crude oil was in range with downside bias while natural gas futures nosedived 19% in a week only. Moscow is ready to resume gas supplies to Europe through the Yamal-Europe Pipeline, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told state TASS news agency. Moscow is also discussing higher supplies of its gas to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Crude prices closed lower as surging COVID-19 cases in China dimmed hopes of a recovery in fuel demand in the world's second-biggest oil consumer. Oil refiners continued to ramp up operations, but some of that recovery is expected to extend to January. However, fall was limited as it drew some support from Russian President Vladimir Putin's ban on exports of crude oil and oil products from Feb. 1 for five months to nations that abide by a Western price cap. Bullion counter kept shining o safe haven buying. Gold prices rose as fears of a 2023 recession spurred some safe haven plays into the yellow metal. Bullion prices rallied last week against a weaker dollar, which was in part dented by a less dovish-than-expected stance from the Bank of Japan. The greenback was also dented by growing bets that U.S. inflation has peaked, which could invite a slower pace of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Base metals traded up but couldn’t stay at higher side. Among industrial metals, copper prices surged on more signs of an economic reopening in China, even as the country grapples with a massive spike in COVID-19 cases.
On agri front, in spices it was only turmeric which faded last week; otherwise, jeera and dhaniya prices augmented further. However, downside in turmeric was limited as supplies are shrinking due to off-season of arrivals wherein production outlook for upcoming season is also looking bleak due to lower acreages. Export demand has been good in year 2022 as India exported about 99 thousand tonnes of turmeric during Jan’22- Oct’22 compared to 89 thousand tonnes of previous year for the corresponding period. Jeera prices ruled at record levels due to supply tightness at major trading centers. A weaker production outlook is also supporting firmness in prices. The area under dhaniya jumped sharply in Gujarat in the year 2022 reported at 2.20 lakh hectares as on 26th Dec compared to 1.23 lakh hectares of the previous year, higher by 78% Y-o- Y. Bleak demand prospects and lower export demand crushed castor seed prices. Millers are avoiding bulk buying in wake of commencement of new crop of castor after Jan.
Due to deficient and erratic monsoon this year, Rabi crops are making up for the shortfall in the sowing of Kharif crops in North India. For making Aatmanirbhar Bharat, Union Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is implementing many national programs to increase production of deficit commodities like oilseeds and pulses besides ensuring food security. Timely supply of quality seeds of high yielding varieties (HYVs), inputs, latest production technologies, credit, crop insurance, micro-irrigation and post-harvest facilities are few of such interventions taken to increase agricultural production and productivity. All these interventions have increased large area under rabi crops this year.
As on 23-12-2022, area sown under rabi crops has increased by 4.37% from 594.62 lakh hectares in 2021-22 to 620.62 lakh hectares in 2022-23. This is 25.99 lakh hectares more this year compared to corresponding period of 2021-22.
Wheat Production
The increase in area is across all crops; the highest being in wheat. Out of 25.99 lakh hectares increase in all rabi crops, increase in wheat area is 9.65 lakh hectares from 302.61 to 312.26 lakh hectares. Though sowing of rabi crops is still under progress, area brought under wheat this year (312.26 lh) till 23-12-2022 is more than normal rabi sown area (304.47 lh). This increase in wheat area is very encouraging in the background of crisis faced by world for wheat availability due to Russia-Ukraine war and for ensuring our own food security. Thus, a record area coverage and production of wheat is expected this year.
Oilseeds production
Oilseeds production is a major cause of concern as country has to spend heavily on import of edible oils to meet domestic demand. Due to renewed focus on oilseeds, area under oilseeds increased from 93.28 lakh hectares during 2021-22 to 101.47 lakh hectares this year. This is a major jump of 22.66 lakh hectares over normal sown area of 78.81 lakh hectares.
Mustard area increased by 7.32 lakh hectares from 85.35 lakh hectares in 2021-22 to 92.67 lakh hectares in 2022-23. Thus, out of 8.20 lakh hectares increase in area under oilseeds, rapeseed & mustard alone accounted for 7.32 lakh hectares. Implementation of Special Mustard Mission for last 2 years is mainly responsible for renewed interest of farmers in the cultivation of mustard. During last 2 years, area of rapeseed & mustard increased by 17% from 68.56 in 2019-20 to 80.58 lakh ha in 2021-22.
Pulse production
Pulse production is being focused to make country self-sufficient in these commodities. Special programme under National Food Security Mission nicknamed NFSM ‘TMU370’ has been launched with aim of increasing productivity of 370 districts having less than state average yields of pulses due to lack of good seed and technological interventions. Area under pulses increased by 3.91 lakh hectares from 144.64 to 148.54 lakh hectares.
The United Nations General Assembly has declared the year 2023 as the International Year of Millets. This was adopted by a United Nations Resolution for which India took the lead and was supported by over 70 nations. In order to meet growing demand of millets around world, the Government is promoting millet production through the NFSM-Nutri Cereals component of National Food Security Mission (NFMS) programme in 212 districts of 14 states. Coarse cum Nutri-cereals saw an increase of 2,42 lakh hectares in area under cultivation from 41,50 lakh hectares in 2021-22 to 43,92 lakh hectares in 2022-23 till date.
Union Government focus on Aatmanirbhar Bharat has laid emphasis on increasing productivity of all crops with focus on crops where demands is met through costly imports like oilseeds and pulses. This will result in bringing self-sufficiency in pulses, reducing import of edible oils and meeting global demands for wheat and millets. The farmers of the country will play major role in making country Aatmanirbhar in agriculture.
The US dollar posted its best yearly gains versus a basket of currencies in the last seven years supported by the Federal Reserve's aggressive monetary policy as well as concerns about the global growth outlook. This year Fed has risen by 425 bps since March to keep inflation under control, a move that kept the dollar higher throughout 2022. However, expectations build up gradually that the central bank may not raise rates aggressively next year which pushed down the dollar index by 7.00% in the quarter ending in December. Accordingly, the rupee fell to a historic low this year to 83.29 vs the dollar in the wake of the hawkish stance of the Federal Reserve. However timely support from RBI to defend the rupee through offloading FX reserves of nearly 100 billion dollars helped the rupee to retreat from its historic lows. Going forward rupee is likely to face a range bound move in early January with a possible range between 82.20 - 83.10 in the coming days. On the majors, we are bearish in sterling/dollar while pound/rupee likely to slide in early January towards 98.50 while euro-rupee may find some consolidation between 87.00 - 88.00 as well.

Tata Group’s Bigbasket may list its shares within three years after the latest capital raising valued India’s largest online grocer at $3.2 billion. The Bengalurubased e-commerce firm, which is focusing on expanding its pan-India reach, may choose to launch an initial public offering in 24 to 36 months but was open to raising more private capital before that, Chief Financial Officer Vipul Parekh said. The $200 million Bigbasket announced this week it had raised will bolster its quick commerce arm and expand its countrywide footprint as it looks to cement its dominance over the sector giants including Amazon.com Inc. and Reliance Industries Ltd. While deploying the fresh funds, there will be an “even split” between capital expansion and marketing in newer territories, according to Parekh. Bigbasket will increase the number of dark stores supplying BB Now — it’s quick commerce format which promises deliveries of household staples within 30 minutes — from about 200 to 300 outlets by March.
