In the week gone by, global markets mood turned sour as abysmal economic data I from the United States and rising global COVID-19 cases spooked the confidence of the investors, despite strong U.S. tech earnings and manufacturing recoveries in China and Japan. The US dollar was also set for its worst month in a decade amid expectations the Fed will maintain its ultra-loose monetary policy for years. Another data showed that more than 1.4 million laid-off Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week. The US economy plummeted by a record-breaking 32.9 percent annual rate last quarter. President Donald Trump exacerbated investor nervousness by floating the possibility of delaying the U.S. presidential election. Federal Reserve has repeated a pledge to use its “full range of tools” to support the economy but cautioned that the outlook “will depend significantly on the course of the virus. In the recent meeting, European Union has adopted groundbreaking Stimulus of $857 billion package to fight coronavirus recession. Meanwhile, China’s factory activity expanded in July for the fifth month in a row and at a faster. On the flip side, Japan’s industrial output snapped four months of decline in June, pointing to a modest recovery in broader business and consumer activity in the world’s third-largest economy following a heavy hit to demand from the coronavirus pandemic.
Back at home, domestic market witnessed volatile movements ahead of expiry of the July series amid other domestic factors such as surge in corona infection. Weak global markets following disappointing US gross domestic product (GDP) data, too, dented investor sentiment. On the sectoral front, pharma index outperformed the other indices with FMCG, IT and metal ended in the green, while selling witnessed in the energy, auto and infra sectors. Recently, SEBI has given extension till September 30 to depository participants, share transfer agents and brokers for compliance with various regulatory requirements. The Reserve Bank of India is likely to leave repo rate unchanged and may extend the moratorium on loan repayments in its upcoming policy review meeting. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), headed by RBI Governor, is scheduled to meet for three days beginning August 4 and will announce its decision on August 6. Going forward market will continue to track global as well as domestic factors such as increase or decrease of Covid-19 infection, rupee movement, crude oil prices, and inflow & out flow of foreign fund among others.
On the commodity market front, with magical move in bullion counter and in some other commodities, CRB managed to trade above 144, though it saw some profit booking from higher side after some pullback in crude prices. Throughout the week, traders are holding their breath due to never seen wild swings in bullion counter. Gold made a high of 53704 whereas silver touch the higher side of 67508 on MCX. Both metals have had a meteoric rise recently, but investors are wondering if this pullback is a buying opportunity or a top. Buy at dip should be the strategy for bullion counter right now. Be cautious in energy counter as some correction is expected. Crude can trade ina range of 2800-3200 on MCX. Base metals should trade in a tight range this week. GDP of Japan, Manufacturing PMI, Non-Farm Payrolls, Unemployment Rate and Markit Manufacturing PMI Final of US, Interest rate decision by RBA, India and BoE, Unemployment Rate New Zealand, Balance of Trade of Canada and many more economic data and events scheduled this week which may give significant impact on commodities prices.

Turmeric futures (Aug) is likely to trade sideways in the range of 5650-5950 taking positive cues from the spot markets. Spot prices are increasing in Erode as arrivals are witnessing a decline as the turmeric sale season is nearing completion.

At the Erode Cooperative Marketing Society, finger turmeric went for Rs.5,269-6,269 a quintal, root variety was sold at Rs.4,939-5,689 a quintal. Jeera futures (Aug) is expected to witness a sideways movement in the range of 14000-14600 levels. In the present scenario, the commodity is taking negative cues from the rise in warehouse stock and weak demand from bulk buyers. Gujarat's Unjha mandi is likely to reopen this week. At the Rajkot, mandi fewer amounts of arrivals are being seen as the overseas demand is sluggish the market is dependent on local demand only. Dhaniya futures (Aug) is expected to hold on the support near 6200, while the upside may remain capped near 6600 levels. The spot prices are steady due to improvement in demand from domestic stockists and fall in arrivals in spot markets. Supply in the key trading centres is seen falling as the peak arrival season has come to an end. Cardamom futures (Aug) is likely to consolidate in the range of 1470-1600 levels. There is weakness in demand to closure of many markets across the country and also there is pressure of new crop arrivals. It is to be noted that as a preventive measure to contain rising cases of virus infections, auctions are held only twice a week.
Bullion counter has witnessed biggest monthly gain in more than four years after a weaker dollar and low rates fuelled its surge to a record. Silver headed for its best month since 1979. Low interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion. The metal has surged almost 30% in 2020, putting it on track for the biggest annual increase in more than a decade, as concern about the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic boosts its appeal as a haven. The Federal Reserve last week repeated a vow to use all its tools to support the U.S. economy, with governments and central banks worldwide already unleashing vast amounts of stimulus to shore up growth. In result to this we have seen positioning in Gold not only from institutional side but from retail side seen surge in flows. Gold traders declared their intent to deliver 3.3 million ounces against the August Comex contract, the largest daily delivery notice in bourse data going back to 1994. With more stimulus on the horizon, the gold is the currency of last resort amid an inflation threat to the dollar. A historic plunge in second-quarter GDP and a tweet by President Donald Trump raising the possibility of delaying the U.S. November presidential elections weighed on U.S. stocks and Treasury yields. Bullion was also pressured as the dollar stalled its slide after the U.S. Federal Reserve said it remains committed to keeping interest rates near zero as long as necessary for the economy to recover. This week, gold may trade in the range of 50800-54700 levels and Silver may trade in the range of 58200-66300 levels. Whereas on COMEX gold may trade in the range of $1880-$2025 and Silver may trade in the range of $21.20-$25.40.
Soybean futures (Aug) may continue to consolidate in the range of 3700-3900 levels. The counter is already reeling under the pressure of anticipated higher supply this season and going ahead demand may also take a hit as DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) has blocked the online registration of MEIS claims on its portal from exports undertaken Apr 1, onwards. This will result in total stoppage of soymeal exports. Mustard futures are on a bull-run and making a new three year high every week due to short supply and demand for mustard oil shot up due to sudden increase in household consumption. With no stock left with farmers and new season crop arrivals 6-8 months away, mustard prices are likely to remain firm in days to come. Going ahead, every dip can be taken as an opportunity to accumulate this oilseed, eyeing targets of 5100-5200 levels. The edible oils are likely to continue their bull run taking positive cues from the international market. If we take a closer look, it has been three months soyoil on CBOT has risen by more than 20% from its low of 25.39, while CPO on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives has witnessed a whooping rise of 43% after making a low of 1939 MYR/ton in the beginning of the May’20. The fundamental factors that are acting as a medium to boost the prices are the good numbers of U.S export sales data of soybean, higher crushing of soy oil in the international market and most importantly higher demand of palm oil. Tracking all these fundamentals, it is expected that soy oil (Aug) will probably test 880-900 on the higher side, and CPO (Aug) may rise further higher towards 780-790 levels.
Oil prices stuck in wide range of 2780-3200 levels where selling can be seen from higher levels, responding to a record decline in U.S. growth as the coronavirus ravaged the world’s biggest economy and oil consumer. A resurgence and spread of infections around the world, however, underscore the sustained threat to oil demand. OPEC and its allies, plans to increase production from Saturday, adding about 1.5 million barrels per day to global supply. Globally, the economic outlook has dimmed again, with increasing coronavirus infections raising the risk of renewed lockdowns and threatening any rebound. That was underlined by news that U.S. GDP collapsed at a 32.9% annualised rate, the deepest decline in output since records began in 1947. In Germany, there was also a record decline in output, with Europe’s largest economy contracting by 10.1% quarter on quarter from April to June. The EIA said that, U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 10.6 million barrels to 526 million barrels in a week, the largest drawdown since December. This week we may witness correction in crude oil where it may take support near 2720 levels and face resistance near 3380 levels. U.S. natural gas fell over 5% on forecasts power generators will burn less gas next week as cooling demand drops with the coming of milder weather despite a small weekly storage build that was in line with expectations. But with the weather expected to turn cooler in coming weeks, it is expected that utilities would start injecting more gas into storage than usual and inventories will reach a record high over 4.1 tcf by the end of the injection season in October. This week Natural gas may trade in wider range of 126-152.
Cotton futures (Aug) is expected to consolidate and trade on a firm in the range of 15500-16800 levels. Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) said the prices of the fibre crop have bottomed out and expects the demand from the spinning mills to pick up gradually on easing of lockdown. The easing of lockdown norms and return of migrant labour are helping mills to restart operations. Mills need cotton and they have started covering. By first week of August, they are expecting more sales in the domestic market. CCI is pushing for cotton exports to major consuming countries such as Bangladesh and Vietnam through the government channel. However, we may not see a major upside as the country is still reeling under huge inventories. The closing stock as on September 30, 2020 is estimated by the committee at 55.50 lakh bales of 170 kgs each. On the international market, ICE cotton futures is making a base near 59.50 cents per pound supported by Encouraging export sales data, with net sales turning positive for the first time in three weeks. Chana futures (Aug) would possibly hover sideways in the range of 4000-4200. The current levels of chana are attractive for millers traders due to cheaper pulses and reducing arrivals. Even consumption is likely to increase in coming days as festive period begins next month till Diwali. Meanwhile, prices in spot markets traded much below MSP of Rs 4,875. Mentha oil futures (Aug) is likely to trade with a downside bias in the range of 910-955. The overall sentiment remains bearish due to concern over demand and increased arrivals in key trading centres. The inventories on the MCX warehouses are rising week on week, creating a downside pressure on the commodity.
Base metal may trade in range while profit booking at higher level cannot be denied. Copper can move towards 530 levels by taking support near 490 levels due to weaker greenback, recovery in demand in china following the coronavirus outbreak and concerns over supply disruption to supply. Factory activity in China expanded in July for a fifth month in a row and at a faster pace, beating analysts' expectations despite disruptions from floods and a resurgence in coronavirus cases around the world but investors are worried that a recovery in the U.S. & Euro zone economy could be disrupted by a second wave of coronavirus. Data showed Europe’s biggest economy Germany had shrunk by a record 10.1% the second quarter and the U.S. economy contracted at a 32.9% annualized rate, its steepest pace since the Great Depression. Zinc may move towards 190 levels and taking support near 175 levels while Lead can move towards 155 levels while taking support near 145 levels. China’s imports of refined zinc have started picking up over the last two months, with June’s tally of 64,700 tonnes the highest monthly total since August last year. Nickel may test to 1075 levels by taking support near 1030 levels. The Indonesian government has threatened to sanction nickel businesses that fail to comply with nickel ore pricing regulations and, therefore, pose a risk to the country’s plan to develop its downstream mining industry. Aluminum may trade in the range of 136-145 levels. Aluminium consumption in electric vehicles is expected to accelerate over coming years as COVID-19 hastens the move to a green economic recovery. Hydro delivers more than 350,000 tonnes of aluminium products to the auto industry every year, with rough estimates showing around 15% of that going to electric vehicles.

Malaysian palm oil futures prices reported their biggest monthly jump in nearly five years on Thursday, as traders anticipated higher exports, while Indonesia's ambitious biodiesel plans coming back on track also boosted the sentiment. The prices were further supported by Indonesia's announcement that plans to raise the bio-content of its palm oil-based biodiesel to 40% - known as B40 - is back on schedule with a target for implementation by July 2021.Mustard remained firm. The steady demand from the crushers & lesser availability of this winter grown oilseeds is acting as a catalyst for the counter.
Global gold demand in Q2 down 11% y-o-y to 1,015.7t, demand for the first half year was 6% weaker at 2,076t. The COVID-19 pandemic was again the main influence on the gold market in Q2, severely curtailing consumer demand while providing support for investment. The global response to the pandemic by central banks and governments, in the form of rate cuts and massive liquidity injections, fuelled record flows of 734t into gold-backed ETFs (gold ETFs). These flows helped lift the gold price, which gained 17% in US dollar terms over the first half, hitting record highs in many other currencies.
Total bar and coin investment weakened sharply in Q2, leading to a 17% y-o-y decline in H1 demand to 396.7t. H1 jewellery demand slumped 46% y-o-y to 572t as markets remained in lockdown and consumers were deterred by the high price and a squeeze on disposable income.
Central bank buying slowed again in Q2, although the comparison is with a record Q2 2019. The sector added a net 233t of gold in H1. The supply of gold was also impacted by the pandemic, falling 6% to 2,192t as both mine production and recycling were affected by lockdown restrictions.

The price of gold is currently a life-time high of over Rs 50,000 per 10 grams, a key milestone that affected the demand. Gold prices have risen by 60 percent since January 2019 and 20 percent since January 2020.
Overall gold demand in the country was 213.2 tonnes during the second quarter of 2019. In terms of value, India's gold demand during the second quarter of this year was Rs 26,600 crore, down by 57 percent compared to Rs 62,420 crore in the corresponding period of 2019.

The total jewellery demand in India for the second quarter of 2020 decreased by 74 percent at 44 tonnes compared to 168.6 tonnes in the same quarter of 2019.

Total investment demand for Q2 2020 declined by 56 percent to 19.8 tonnes during the quarter under review against 44.5 tonnes last year. Investment demand fared relatively better as gold's safe haven attributes and perhaps some price increase anticipation attracted HNIs and investors. Online b u y i n g c o n v e n i e n c e played a significant part in investment demand Similarly, total gold imports in India in Q2 2020 sank 95 percent to 11.6 tonnes during the quarter compared to 247.4 tonnes in Q2 2019 due to no movement.
As India tops the second ranking just behind US in covid cases, risk in rupee is compounding at a rapid pace.

On Thursday, RBI will announce its monetary policy where nine times rate cut since February 2019 is highly possible against expected sharp drop in growth numbers. Bearish view in rupee will continue in the upcoming days. Euro continued to remain the most attractive space in FX world pushing down the dollar to two year low. On top of it, lower interest rate in US due to sharp economic fallout pulled every currency higher against US Dollar except rupee. It is expected that the ongoing uptrend in euro will continue till US economy started to function smoothly. Pound jumped sharply to four month high as month end FX re-balancing as well decent uptick in July retail sales figures helped sterling so far. Next Bank of England's monetary policy may sound dovish that may halt the outright rally in pound.
