In the week gone by, global stock markets remained in edge due to a succession of I weak data releases in Europe and the United States. The fall in US consumer spending is suggesting that economy is on somewhat weaker footing than previously thought amid rapid inflation and Federal Reserve hikes. The market mood is dominated by the possibility of recessions in the US and Europe. Actually, the central bankers are doubling down on hawkish rhetoric. Speaking at the European Central Bank’s annual conference, Christine Lagarde, its president, Jay Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, and Andrew Bailey, Bank of England governor, called for rapid action to curb inflation. Investors expect another 75-basis-point Fed rate increase in July by U.S. Federal Reserve. Whereas, the Bank of Japan is the only central bank with a loose monetary policy. However, the silver lining is that China has suddenly become a bright spot. The Chinese stock markets rose in the last quarter and have bounced about 20% from April lows. After a rough first half of the year, July will be critical for the future direction of markets amid corporate earnings, key inflation data and the Fed meeting. It is expected that volatility will remain elevated until there’s evidence that inflation is moderating, recession risks are ebbing and geopolitical threats are weakening.
Domestic markets continued to witness volatile trade tracking weak global trends as inflation and recession fears kept investors on the edge. Consumer confidence is declining rapidly due to the uncontrolled & constant rise in inflation. FIIs have been net seller in the domestic market as soaring inflation; Fed rate hikes, war in Ukraine, and the lingering effects of the global pandemic have all put pressure on markets. In another development, Government introduced export duty on petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel (ATF) to help maintain domestic supplies, along with windfall tax of Rs 23,250 per tonne on oil producers who have benefited from higher global crude oil prices. Windfall tax will dent earnings of companies like Reliance, ONGC, Vedanta, etc. Domestic macros largely seem good with projected GDP growth at 7.5 per cent in FY23, strong GST and direct tax collection and inflation at 7 per cent currently. The second half of the calendar year will depend on how the inflation in India and US will move and what will be the FIIs mood. With rate hikes and quantitative tightening the inflation is projected to come down in the second half of this year, it is expected that market will recover some lost ground. At this juncture, investors are advised to stay invested in selective large cap companies having strong fundamentals, good business moat and strong industry tailwind.
On the commodity market, CRB slipped from the multiyear high for the fourth continuous week on upside in dollar index and talk of recession. Fed hawkish comments to keep increasing the interest rate also weighed on the commodity. It was the first and biggest monthly drop since November’s loss of 16% for Brent and 20% for WTI. Slowing economies could dent energy demand as central banks hike interest rates to battle inflation. Uncertainty in global oil and gas markets could stay for some time. Hike in import duty on gold will add premium on Indian gold now. India has raised its basic import duty on gold to 12.5% from 7.5%. Gold and silver can trade in a range of 49000-53000 and 57000-62000 respectively. Energy counter may trade in pressure. Crude can move in a wide range of 8200-9000 levels. Base metals will remain on weaker side. RBA Interest Rate Decision, ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI, Non Farm Payrolls, Unemployment Rate and FOMC Minutes of US, Inflation Rate of Mexico, Balance of Trade, Employment Change and Unemployment Rate of Canada, etc are important triggers for commodities this week.

In the week gone by, nifty and Bank Nifty closed flat. However, on Friday, Banknifty outperformed Nifty as a sharp correction was witnessed in Reliance after government hiked export tax on petrol, diesel and ATF. From the derivative front, the highest call open interest concentration is at 16000 strike whereas on put side, the highest open interest concentration is at 15500 strike, which acted as support on Friday’s session. Banknifty highest call open interest concentration is at 34000 strike whereas on put side, it is at 33000 strike. Implied volatility (IV) of calls closed at 21.37% while that for put options, it closed at 22.59. The Nifty VIX for the week closed at 21.84%. PCR OI for the week closed at 1.28 higher than the previous week. On the technical chart, the oscillators such as RSI and stochastic, have sufficient room for upside movement. We expect Nifty to inch towards 16000 levels while 16200-15500 would act as a trading zone for the index.
**The highest call open interest acts as resistance and highest put open interest acts as support.

Last week we have witnessed some positive trend in the spices counter but it did not able to sustain above the previous week high levels as they are facing resistance at higher level. Turmeric (Jul) witnessed some volatile trade during last week but did not sustain at higher levels due to selling pressure. The prices have corrected after it reached 2-week high levels. Now the resistance is 7950 while support at 7600 levels. We expect it to trade lower towards 7400 levels. Currently, reports of sufficient stocks and good sowing progress are pressurizing the prices. The prices have corrected more than 24% from highs of 2022 due to lower exports demand and new season arrivals. As per latest export figures, turmeric exports in Apr 2022 is higher 3.61% y/y while for the period of Jan-Apr 2022, exports are 50,500 tn same as last year.
Jeera (Jul) continued its recovery this week after it slipped to 8-week low levels in the previous week. It got good support from the lower level buying by the market participants on expectation of improving domestic and exports demand. The support is seen at 20900 levels while resistance is at 21500 levels. We expect the prices to trade sideways to higher towards 21700 if it sustains above 21400. The arrivals have improved in the physical market due to improving prices. Currently, prices are higher by 59% y/y on lower crop estimates and lower stocks with the traders. Prices have corrected about 9% from higher levels of 2022 due to lower export demand. As per govt data, jeera exports in Apr 2022 down by 66% Y/Y at 10,700 tonnes, the lowest April month export volume in last 6 years while exports in first 4-months of 2022 down by 46% Y/Y to 54000 compared to 1 lakh tonnes last year.
Dhaniya (Jul) traded positive last week but in a very narrow range taking support near 11100 while the resistance is 11500 levels. We expect prices to trade sideways to manner till it breaks either the support or resistance. It has corrected about 18-19% from the 2022 highs due to lower exports but now increased about 5% in last one week due to improving local demand. As per govt data, coriander exports in Apr 2022 down 27.1% y/y at 4020 tn compared to 5500 tn last year while for first 4 months of 2022, the export volumes are down by 23.5% at 15,100 tn Vs 19,770 tn last year but 12% higher compared to 5-year average for same period.
Gold prices faces its worst quarter since early 2021, as the dollar cemented its place as the safe-haven asset of choice, amid top central banks adopting aggressive tactics against runaway inflation. Benchmark US 10-year Treasury yields inched down, increasing the appeal of non-yielding gold. The dollar ticked up towards recent 2-decade peaks, and could record its best quarter in over 5 years, making gold less attractive for buyers holding other currencies. New US data for May showed little immediate relief from the record pace of inflation pushing the Federal Reserve toward another oversized interest rate increase next month, but it did add to a developing sense that the worst may be over. Gold prices, set to drop for a third straight month, have fallen about 6% this quarter, their worst since the first quarter of 2021. Bringing down high inflation around the world will be painful and could even crash growth but must be done quickly to prevent rapid price growth from becoming entrenched, the world's top central bank chiefs said. Rate hikes by central banks to fight inflation raise the opportunity cost of holding bullion, which yields no interest. World Bank's chief economist Carmen Reinhart said she is sceptical that the US and global economies can dodge a recession, given red-hot inflation, sharp rate hikes and slowing growth in China. Ahead in the week, prices may continue to witness huge volatility where both side movements may be witnessed and the trading range for gold would be 49000-52000 levels. Silver may also witness huge volatility and trade in the range of 56000-61500 levels.
Cotton (Jul) continued its corrections and slipped about 6% last week due to lower demand and expectation of improving cotton area in coming weeks. Now we see support at 39820 and resistance near 44090 levels. We expect it to trade sideways to lower towards 40000 levels. Prices have slipped about 15% in last one month as demand for cotton is limited from textile sector. Cotton area is lower by 14.7% Y/Y at 31.83 lakh ha Vs 37.34 as on 26th Jun but expected to increase as the monsoon progress in the month of July. In Gujarat area is higher by 67% y/y at 5.90 lakh ha but in Maharashtra area is lower by 47.7% at 4.53 lakh ha. While in Madhya Pradesh cotton sowing is down 43.3% y/y at 165,000 ha. Cotton exports from country have fallen due to higher prices which make it economically unviable this season to 38 lakh bales till May end compared to 58 lakh bales in last year
Guar seed (Jul) continued to make lower levels in 2022 as it slipped more than 5% last week; mainly of good sowing reports in Rajasthan. Prices have already tank about 13-15% since reports of normal monsoon by the weather department. We expect it to trade lower towards support while resistance is at 5400 levels. Currently, prices are higher by about 20% y/y due to lower production, multi-year lower stocks and good export demand. Currently, there is normal demand and expectation of higher sowing in coming season. Food exports numbers are also not able to support prices of guar seed. Guar gum exports in Apr 2022 higher by 7% y/y at 29,132 tonnes while exports during Jan-Apr 2022 is up by 22% y/y at 79,650 tonnes compared 65275 tonnes last FY. Guargum exports were down about 20% in last FY compared to previous fiveyear average of 4 lt exports.
Castor seed (Jul) recovered last week 3-4% due to lower level buying. Prices have increased to 3-week higher levels and expected to be positive in coming week on persistent export demand. We expect it to trade higher towards 7700 if it sustains above 7350 levels. Currently, prices are about 44% higher y/y due to good export demand and lower carry-over stocks. We witnessed slow start to castor seed as Gujarat kharif area as on 27-Jun under castor is 41 ha Vs 545 ha last year as per data released by the state agriculture dept. Despite higher export prices exports of Castor oil and meal is higher in the first 5 months of 2022 by about 18% and 3% respectively. Mentha oil (Jul) slipped to 5-month low but recover due to lower level buying. We see support at 1010 levels while the resistance is 1060 levels. Going forward, the prices are expected to trade in the range with some positive bias.
Crude Oil shed its gains after bullish rally, amid an unseasonal slowdown in gasoline demand. A government report showed that US crude stocks fell as fuel makers increased runs amid historically high refining margins. Meanwhile, gasoline demand on a four-week rolling average fell to the lowest seasonal level since 2014, with the exception of 2020. The slowdown in gasoline demand growth could be a sign that prices are starting to impact consumers. However, the outlook for oil is still strong, demand is currently below seasonal averages but the key thing for crude is that it is still growing. The continued slump by the price of crude oil reflected lingering concerns about the outlook for demand amid the possibility of a recession. Oil prices also fell sharply due to uncertainty about future output from the OPEC+. After a two-day meeting, OPEC+ agreed to stick with its previously announced plans to increase output by 648,000 barrels per day in July and August but did not comment on its plans for September onwards. A report from the Commerce Department provided further evidence of an economic slowdown, showing personal spending increased by less than expected in the month of May. Looking ahead in week, Crude oil prices may trade within the range of 7950- 8500 where buying near support and sell near resistance would be strategy. U.S. natural gas futures plunged below $6 per million British thermal units, after an inventory report showed a larger-than-expected storage build, sparking fears of an oversupplied market. However, Natural gas continues to trade with sideways to bearish trend where resistance is seen near 500 and support is seen near 390. Higher volatility is expected in Natural gas.
Base metals may trade in range with negative bias as aggressive rate hikes by major central banks to combat soaring inflation has raised worries of a global recession, which would dent demand for metals. Asia's manufacturing activity stalled in June as many companies were hit by supply disruptions caused by China's strict COVID-19 lockdowns, while sharp economic slowdown risks in Europe and the United States reinforced fears of a global recession. U.S. consumer spending rose less than expected in May as motor vehicles remained scarce, while higher prices forced cutbacks on purchases of other goods. However short covering may provide some breather to bulls as base metals registered the worst quarterly slump since the 2008 global financial crisis as China’s economy recovered only gradually and fears of a world recession intensified. Copper may trade in the range 665-700 levels. Copper output in Chile , the world's largest producer of the metal, fell 2.7% year-on-year to 480,275 tonnes in May. Copper’s supply chain remains challenged, albeit in better condition than last year when LME stocks fell to near zero. Aluminum may trade in the range of 195-215 levels. Some Japanese aluminium buyers have agreed to pay a premium of $148 a tonne over the benchmark price for July-September shipments, down 14% from the current quarter, sources said. Zinc can trade in the range of 275-295 levels. Lead can move in the range of 168-178 levels. Nickel may trade in the range of 2000-2120 levels. Global primary nickel production could increase 19% in 2022 to 3.21 million mt, and the nickel deficit of 2021 should turn into a mild surplus of around 40,000 mt in 2022, according to Russia's Nornickel.

CRB slipped from the multi-year high for the fourth continuous week on upside in dollar index and talk of recession. Fed hawkish comments to keep increasing the interest rate also weighed on the commodity. It was the first and biggest monthly drop since November’s loss of 16% for Brent and 20% for WTI. Thursday’s drop alone of nearly 4% weighed heavily on the two crude benchmarks as producer cartel OPEC+ and its allies confirmed a previously-agreed production of nearly 650,000 barrels per day for July and August — up more than 50% from June. Rise in U.S. gasoline and distillate inventories and worries about slower economic growth around the world offset ongoing concerns about tight crude supplies. On MCX, crude breached 8400 levels. U.S. natural gas futures plunged below $6 per million British thermal units on Thursday, after an inventory report showed a larger-than-expected storage build, sparking fears of an oversupplied market. Henry Hub futures declined 16.53% to settle at $5.42 per million British thermal units. The contract ended June 33% lower, which was the worst month since December 2018. On MCX, it made a multi months low of 443. Gold breached the consolidation in international market. MCX gold was trading in line with US gold but sudden hike in import duty. India has raised its basic import duty on gold to 12.5% from 7.5%, the government said in a notification on Friday, as the world's second biggest consumer of the precious metal tries to dampen its demand. The dollar hovered near recent two-decade peaks. The strengthening dollar has dented non-yielding bullion’s demand. Base metals ignored the positive PMI of China and slipped further on recession fear. China’s manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) rose to 50.2 in June from 49.6 in May, the first expansion since February, indicating that the country’s factory activity is expanding. Industrial metals have tumbled alongside stock markets as central bankers stepped up talk of action to contain decades-high inflation. Weak economic data in Europe and the United States has not prevented central bankers from doubling down on hawkish rhetoric. Worries about low zinc stocks in LME-registered warehouses have eased. This can be seen in the narrowing premium for the cash over the three-month zinc contract last at $66 a tonne compared with more than $200 a tonne last week.
Guar witnessed correction of almost 22% from the 2022 peak despite good exports numbers. Progress in monsoon amid decline in crude prices weighed the sentiments. Castor rebounded sharply from the low. Currently, prices are about 45.5% higher y/y due to slow start to sowing season and lower carry-over stocks. SEA estimates, India's castor seed crop in 2021-22 at 16.94 lakh tonnes — lower by 62,000 tonnes from last year's estimated output of 17.56 lakh tonnes (lt). On the export front, castor meal exports in May 2022 up by 49.5% y/y to 31,150 tonnes. Spices saw marginal upside.
To boost liquidity, efficient price discovery and efficiency at domestic commodity bourses, the markets regulator SEBI has allowed foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) to play in commodity derivatives markets. Foreign investors, who freely deal in stocks, bonds, gilts and foreign currency in Indian financial markets, were restricted from taking positions in exchange-traded commodity futures and options. 'Foreign eligible entities' are permitted to buy or sell derivatives for only 'hedging' their exposure to physical markets after submitting the underlying export or import documents. However, they are barred from trading in commodity derivatives. The decision comes a year after China decided to open its commodity derivatives market to international traders and comes at a time when commodity exchanges are suffering from a fall in trading volumes and FPIs are pulling out from the stock markets.
What will be route for FPIs to invest in Indian commodity derivatives markets?
Impact on the market after approval of FPIs in commodity derivatives
Since FPIs are allowed in only in cash-settled contracts and Sebi said position limits for FPIs (other than individuals, family offices and corporate bodies) will be at par with those presently applicable for mutual fund schemes as a client. Hence, don’t expect flood of liquidity. So question still remains, can enhanced liquidity gradually enable the Indian commodity derivative market to serve as a global benchmark for various commodities thereby shifting India from the role of price taker to a price setter? However, considering that around 10,000 FPIs are presently registered in India, even if a tenth of them participate in the Indian commodity derivatives market, the same may bring considerable liquidity in Indian ETCDs segment. New launched futures and options in Indices will gain more attraction. Indian exchanges have world class infra and technology will make this market viable.
The IndianRupee ended in the red for the third straight quarter amid a global rate hike weighing on emerging markets. Indian Rupee lost more than 5.5% on a yearto-date basis and on top of that RBI intervention to support the domestic currency is seen as negligible. Additionally dropped in forward premiums to a decade low kept the rupee vulnerable to falling below 79.00 to a dollar for the first time in history. We think the weakness in the rupee will continue in the coming days and may fall towards 79.80-80.00 in the coming days. Meanwhile yesterday US Core PCE Price Index moved down to 4.7% in May, its 3rd straight monthly decline. This is the Fed's "preferred measure of inflation" and could have an impact on rate hike expectations. From the majors, the euro faced its worst quarterly performance in six years. Based on the current inflation reading in the EZ further justifies the ECB’s plan to hike interest rates for the first time in 11 years at next month’s meeting. Technically we will remain slightly bearish on the euro and similar action can be taken on the pound too. On the other hand, we remain cautious about the USDJPY as well JPYINR move for the next week.
