In the weak gone by, market looked cautious on the prospect of fresh trade tensions I between the US and Europe and an uptick in COVID-19 cases around the world and worsening economic damage. Even the International Monetary Fund's has downgraded global economic projections and this shook the confidence of the investors. On the contrary, the dollar strengthened as a rise in coronavirus cases in the United States reduced confidence in a quick economic recovery. Another data showed that Japan’s factory activity remained stuck at an 11-year low in June, in a sign the coronavirus pandemic is taking a toll on manufacturers even as services-sector sentiment picks up. While, the US economy shrank at a 5.0 percent rate in the first quarter with a much worse decline expected in the current three-month economic period because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Back at home, despite burgeoning Covid-19 cases in India and weak global cues, domestic stock market closed in green. However market looked little weary after the IMF revised their GDP growth outlook for India. As per IMF, India’s economy will contract by 4.5% during the year, which will be historic low. Whereas Moody’s Investors Service expects India’s economy to contract 3.1% in 2020 compared with 0.2% growth it projected in April. In another development, the SEBI on June 25 announced revisions to various regulations related to pricing norms for preferential share issue, insider trading, among others following its board meeting. Easing compliance requirements due to continuing adverse impact of the coronavirus pandemic, market regulator SEBI gave another month's extension till July 31 to listed companies for submitting their fourth-quarter as well as annual results. Earlier, the deadline to submit the financial results was June 30. Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India has asked banks and non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) to strictly follow its business practices code and outsourcing norms while lending, warning that any violation will amount to a serious transgression. Another data showed that India’s trade deficit with China is estimated to have narrowed to $48.7 billion last financial year — the lowest in five years — compared with $53.6 billion a year ago, as imports from across the border dropped over 7% to $65 billion in 2019-20. Investors would continue to track global cues and response of policy makers to the rising infections over the globe to get a sense that whether such actions may lead to slowdown the pick-up of economic activity.
On the commodity market front, it was slightly weaker week for commodities in which market ignored improvement in economic data’s and paid attention on second wave of corona spread. New measures taken to contain the spread of the virus was also threatening to undo some of the recent progress on reopening the economy. The pandemic fear factor gold may remain on the higher side. On MCX, it has already made new high last week and expected to continue its upside journey and can touch 48500 in short term. Silver has potential to touch 49500 in days to come. Overseas manufacturing sector data came in better than expected for June, reinforcing market optimism that the global economy is on steady recovery. Hence, we have seen moreover a steady trade in base metals counter. Copper and nickel can outperform other metals. Crude should trade in a range of 2800-3200 whereas natural gas may see value buying from lower levels.

Indian markets remained volatile during last week on back of June series expiry. Although, markets managed to end the week on positive note despite volatility on back of sharp surge in metal, IT, and banking stocks. From derivative front put writers are now shifting to higher bands while call writers are still holding maximum open interest at 10500 strike which should act as major hurdle for nifty in coming week. From technical front as well 10500-10550 zone would act as a crucial hurdle for nifty in coming sessions as its 200 days exponential moving average is placed on daily charts. The Implied Volatility (IV) of calls closed at 27.22% while that for put options closed at 28.56%. The Nifty VIX for the week closed at 29.73% and is expected to remain volatile. PCR OI for the week closed at 1.48 down from 1.60 as compared to last week which indicates call writing in upper strikes. For coming week we expect markets to consolidate in range of 10200 to 10500 with some stock specific action. However the bias is likely to remain bullish and any time a decisive move above 10500 levels in Nifty could add further buying momentum which could lead a move towards 10700 levels.

Turmeric futures (July) is likely to travel on a bullish path towards 6100-6200 levels. The spot prices are gaining grounds on the news that Andhra Pradesh State Cooperative Marketing Federation Ltd (Markfed) started purchase turmeric at Rs.6,850 per quintal at Duggirala,Vemuru and Sattenapalli yards from June 22. Each yard will purchase 100 quintals per day from the farmers. The Markfed swung into action in the backdrop of falling of turmeric price in the open market. Moreover, freight customers are reportedly showing interest in increasing transportation of turmeric from the Nizamabad region to Bangladesh by rail. At the Erode Turmeric Merchants Association Sales Yard, finger turmeric was sold at Rs.5,339-6,417 a quintal, root variety was sold at Rs.4,429-6,036 a quintal. At the Erode Cooperative Marketing Society, finger turmeric was sold at Rs.5,411-6,174 a quintal, while root variety was sold at Rs.5,329-5,869.

The spot trading activities at the mandies are coming back on track; however, orders from domestic and overseas markets have slowed since last week. Demand generally remains subdued during monsoon due to higher moisture content. Cardamom futures (July) is expected to plunge further towards 1200-1150 levels. The emerging situation across the upcountry markets has impacted the demand as well as the purchasing capacity of consumers. From the level of Rs.3,300 per kg before the lockdown in March, the average price in the auctions now has dropped to Rs.1,150 per kg. The lower price realization has led to panic selling in the market, where old stock or carryover stock of last year have been brought for trading.
Bullion counter were headed for a third weekly gain on worries about rising coronavirus infections worldwide, although a firm dollar and a gain in equities blunted safe-haven demand. Gold has risen more than 1% so far this week, with prices scaling a near eight-year high of $1,779.06. The amount of money pumped in by governments definitely supports gold as a safe haven, with this COVID-19 situation still around amid low interest rates globally. Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said second-round effects of the pandemic could hurt the country’s economy “considerably”, signalling the bank’s readiness to ramp up stimulus again. Lower interest rates and stimulus measures tend to benefit gold, viewed as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement. The weekly jobless claims report on showed millions continue to collect unemployment checks more than a month after many businesses resumed operating following virus-led lockdowns. Other data underscored expectations that the economy would contract in the second quarter at its fastest pace since the Great Depression. Falls in the gold price are still being viewed by investors as buying opportunities the latest weakness in the gold price as temporary and envisage new highs in the near future. Australia and some U.S. states reported a spike in cases as well as Latin America and India, the world's second biggest bullion consumer. Holdings of the SPDR Gold Trust ETF stood at more than seven-year highs. For the next week, gold may trade in range of 47400-48500 and Silver may trade in range of 47000-49300. Whereas on COMEX gold may trade in range of $1760-$1810 and Silver may trade in range of $17.40-$18.60.
Soybean futures (July) is likely to trade with a positive bias in the range of 3650-3900 levels. This Kharif season concerns of germination of seeds are being seen for the farmers in Vidarbha and Marathwada. The quality of seed has been affected because it rained when the last year’s soybean crop was harvested. This damaged the seeds that are extracted for this season’s sowing. On CBOT, U.S soybean will possibly continue to consolidate in the range of $8.60-8.80 a bushel. The market participants will take a cautious approach ahead of the USDA’s annual acreage and quarterly Grain Stocks reports on June 30. In days to come, the counter is likely to get support from the export sales of U.S. soybeans which are happening in line with trade expectations. The upside may remain capped by the fact that U.S. soybean planting is nearly complete & 70% of it are called good to excellent. Mustard futures (July) will probably take support near 4600-4550 as the demand side is still strong owing to higher offtakes by mills. On the contrary, the upside may remain capped near its previous high of 4755 levels as Hafed has started selling its procured quantity in the open market through tenders. Soy oil futures (July) is expected to remain stable in the range of 810-850 and CPO futures (July) may consolidate in the range of 650-690 levels. Demand for these edible oils, substitute of each other are in a tug-of-war as the spread between soybean oil and palm oil prices in the domestic as well as in the international market are narrowing since June. In other words, demand may shift from soy oil to palm oil, as the previous is gaining slower than the later.
Crude Oil post correction after gaining 17% in previous week. The bullish impetus from signs of fuel demand recovery was kept in check by a rising number of new coronavirus cases in the United States and China and tentative expectations of U.S. output ticking up. The satellite data showing a strong pick-up in traffic in China, Europe and across the United States pointed to an improvement in fuel demand. Congestion in Shanghai in the past few weeks was higher than in the same period last year, while in Moscow traffic was back to last year’s levels. However, there are fears a spike in COVID-19 infections in southern U.S. states could stall the demand recovery, especially as some of those states, such as Florida and Texas, are among the biggest gasoline consumers. The global economic outlook has also worsened or at best stayed about the same in the past month, and the recession underway is expected to be deeper than earlier predicted. Asurvey of executives in the top U.S. oil and gas producing region by the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank found more than half of executives who cut production expect to resume some output by the end of July. For the next week crude price may extend its bullish rally towards 3280 as the resistance hold at 3040. Downside it may take support near 2780. Natural gas futures collapsed over 7% to a near 25-year low as demand destruction from the coronavirus left the world awash in the fuel that utilities have squeezed into storage caverns expected to be full by the end of the summer season. Natural gas may continue to trade in wider range of 108-125.
Cotton futures (July) may continue to trade lower for the fourth consecutive week and slide down towards 15700-15500 levels, taking negative cues from the international market & the fact that this season the farmers are lured to grow more of this fibre crop, diverting from other labour intensive crops. In Punjab this year has set a record by bringing 5.01 lakh hectares under cotton cultivation, which is the highest since 2011-12 kharif or summer-sown crop season. In Gujarat, Cotton acreage was reported to be 6,05,690 hectares, as against 1,60,914 hectares last year for the same period. In the present scenario, the domestic prices of cotton is de-coupling with that in international market as ICE cotton futures (Dec) is trading higher week-on –week owing to upbeat U.S export sales reassuring traders of robust demand for the natural fiber. Chana futures (July) is likely to step out from the consolidation zone & trade higher towards 4300-4350 levels. The sentiments are in upbeat mood owing to higher procurement operations being carried out under a government scheme in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Haryana. Guargum futures (July) may continue to face resistance near 5700 for the fourth consecutive week & possibly a correction can be seen till 5300 levels. There is a lack of export demand as the companies that operate offshore drilling rigs for major oil producers face a second wave of bankruptcies in four years amid a historic drop in energy prices. It is being estimated that in U.S this month, the number of floating rigs at work is expected to hit the lowest level since 1986 as oil companies cancel or defer contracts.
Base metal may trade in the range with mixed fundamentals. Copper can move in the range of 440-465. Copper prices may get higher on supply concern while lower demand due to Weak economic outlook by the International Monetary Fund may weigh on prices. Lower supply of the metal from Chile and Peru may supported copper prices as union leaders of Codelco's Chuquicamata mine in Chile urged the government to shut down the mine for two weeks to clean the plant after a worker died of COVID-19. Recently a string of better than expected U.S. and European economic data was overshadowed by a surge in coronavirus cases in the United States and South America. Falling inventories also bolstered copper as LME on-warrant stocks eroded further, declining to the weakest levels since January, LME data showed. Copper inventories in warehouses tracked by ShFE fell for a sixth straight week to their lowest in more than 17 months. Zinc may move towards 168 and taking support near 155. Lead can move towards 150 while taking support near 140. Demand for lead-acid batteries from hospitals and food producers seeking more backup power during the coronavirus pandemic is helping battery and lead producers weather a collapse in orders from the auto sector. Nickel may trade in the range of 930-980 with bearish bias. The purchases from most stainless steel makers of china may supportive for nickel prices while prices may pressurise on backdrop of overall supply glut for nickel. Aluminum may move towards 137 while taking support near 130. The aluminium market is pricing in rising prospects of the United States replacing Canada’s exemption from import tariffs with quotas.

It was slightly weaker week for commodities in which market ignored improvement in economic data’s and paid attention to second wave of corona spread. Bullion counter rose on safe haven buying and MCX gold made new high last week of Rs 48,333. Later, gold paused in its advance toward the $1,800-an-ounce target in later part of the week as the dollar’s unexpected rally weighed on the safe-haven, despite a risk-off mood across markets reacting to new Covid-19 fears and a grim world economic outlook from the IMF.The IMF, meanwhile, predicted a decline of almost 5% in world growth for 2020, substantially worse than its forecast from 10 weeks ago in April.Oil markets slumped and broke $40 after weekly data from the U.S. government showed drillers in America’s shale fields adding to production for the first time since March as crude prices averaged $40 a barrel. WTI is still about 280% higher from the bottom of April 28, when crude prices began rebounding earnestly from the negative impacts of Covid-19.

On Thursday, June 25, the EIAtold markets that natural gas inventories increased by 120 billion cubic feet for the week ending on June 19, 2020.Base appeared confused on ambiguity, resulted in range trading. Price action for most metals remains capped by the ongoing Covid-19 narrative, with reports of growing infection cases in the United States and Europe after the announcement of fresh outbreaks in China dampening optimism which had given rise to rallies in preceding days. An absence of a significant pickup in overseas demand capped the upsides in zinc prices. Purchases from most stainless steel makers to remain supportive of domestic nickel prices on the backdrop of overall supply glut for nickel.
Oil seeds and edible oil complex settled down. Crude palm oil on the BMD also settled lower, tracking weakness in soybean complex on CBOT and also due to profit booking after a recent rise in prices. However, the downside was limited as China has ramped up its purchases of U.S. soybeans recently, sparking a rebound in prices and making the crop profitable again for U.S. farmers after the coronavirus pandemic had slammed demand. Indian Soybean was also bearish due weak soymeal exports. The spread between mustard and soybean increased on better crushing demand in mustard seeds.
