In the weak gone by, global stock markets extended gains on the back of the recent release of lower-than-anticipated US CPI numbers, resulting in a significant drop in the US dollar index and a moderation in US bond yields. Wednesday's CPI report showed U.S. consumer prices registered their smallest annual increase in more than two years. Fall in inflation boosted optimism that the US Federal Reserve will not need to hike interest rates after an expected 25 basis points rate increase later this month. ECB policymakers said at their last meeting has said that the European Central Bank may need to continue raising interest rates beyond this month to bring inflation back to target. The ECB raised its interest rates to their highest level in 22 years at the June 14-15 meeting and said a ninth consecutive hike was all but guaranteed in July as it predicted inflation would stay above its 2% target through the end of 2025. Chinese consumer price figures fell in June, leaving them almost unchanged from a year earlier, while producer prices slid deeper into negative territory. The weakness implies scope for further monetary policy easing, but also underlines the challenge China faces in reflating its economy and avoiding a deflationary spiral.
On the domestic market front, market saw a decent rally with the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty hovering around record levels supported by positive global as well as domestic cues. Actually, the strong FII inflows, robust domestic macro-micro factors and expectation of normal monsoon continued to support bulls. The foreign investors have been attracted towards the Indian markets given the strong outlook for the domestic economy. At -4.1% YoY, India's WPI remained in deflationary territory in June. The decline in the index was primarily driven by a drop in fuel and power prices and manufactured product prices. CPI inflation spiking to 4.81% in June from 4.31% in May didn’t come as a surprise since the spurt in vegetable prices was known and the market expected a CPI inflation print above 4.7%. However, the retail inflation still remains within the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) tolerance band for the fourth consecutive month. As we are in the earnings season, the market is likely to witness more stock specific action.
On the commodity market front, CRB zoomed up further as many commodities regained strength on fall in US CPI data which rekindle the hope of pause in monetary tightening. CRB crossed 301 mark. Fall in dollar index stimulated buying in commodities. The dollar crashed to its lowest in more than a year on Wednesday after data showed the rise in U.S. consumer prices moderated in June, suggesting the Federal Reserve may have to raise interest rates only one more time this year. Bullion counter shone as safe haven buying returned. AGold and silver can trade in a range of 58800-59800 and 72500-76000 respectively. In energy counter, crude may appreciate further on improving demand amid tight supply. It can move in a band of 6100-6500. If Chinese GDP comes positive then it will give more strength to the base metals prices. GDP of China, Core Inflation Rate and Inflation Rate of Canada and UK, Retail Sales and Building Permits of US, Core Inflation Rate of Euro Area, Employment Change and Unemployment Rate of Australia, Inflation Rate of Japan etc are many important data scheduled this week which will give impact to commodities prices.

Spot prices have jumped more than 15% in last 2 weeks and ruling at 10500 at Nizamanbad market. Export demand of turmeric has also improved in recent months that will also support market sentiments. India exported about 39.42 thousand tonnes of turmeric during the time period of Apr-May’23 as compared to 30.9 thousand tonnes of previous year, higher by 28% Y-o-Y.

Gold had its best week since April, surging close to a one-month high amidst diminishing expectations of further interest rate hikes in the U.S. This development caused the dollar to plummet to its lowest level in over a year. The waning prospects of additional U.S. interest rate hikes played a crucial role in this surge, causing investors to seek refuge in gold. As a result, the value of the dollar weakened considerably, reaching its lowest point in more than a year. In a surprising turn, the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits decreased unexpectedly. This unexpected drop suggests that the U.S. labor market remains tight, reflecting a relatively healthy economic environment. However, despite these positive indicators, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller expressed reservations about U.S. inflation. He refrained from declaring the situation resolved and expressed a preference for additional rate hikes later in the year. Waller anticipates an increase in interest rates during the upcoming July meeting, signalling the Fed's commitment to address potential inflationary pressures. The cautious stance of Federal Reserve Governor Waller regarding inflation underscores the ongoing concerns and uncertainties surrounding the U.S. economy.

Crude oil marked its third consecutive week of gains, a streak not seen since April, despite a slight dip in prices on Friday. The increase can be attributed to concerns about supply disruptions in Libya and Nigeria, along with hopes of heightened demand for U.S. crude amidst easing inflationary pressures. In Libya, some oilfields were shut down due to protests by a local tribe over the kidnapping of a former minister. Additionally, Shell suspended loadings of Nigeria's Forcados crude oil due to a potential leak at a terminal. These disruptions, coupled with declining Russian crude exports, have fuelled expectations of a tightening oil market. The recent agreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia, the world's leading oil exporters, to deepen oil production cuts has further bolstered crude prices. These cuts have been in place since November of the previous year and provide additional support to the upward trend in oil prices. Furthermore, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) revised its oil demand forecast for 2023, anticipating a 2.2% growth in demand for 2024. This positive outlook for future demand has contributed to the overall optimism surrounding crude oil. Ahead in the week prices may continue to trade on higher side and the possible trading range would be 6040-6590. Natural gas prices experienced a decline, reflecting negative returns in the market. This downward price movement was accompanied by an increase in open interest and trading volume, indicating a potential continuation of losses in the near future. Ahead in the week, prices may trade in the wider range where both side movements are expected and the possible.

As the global economy slows down, overseas consumers are buying fewer goods from Chinese factories. Copper may trade in the range of 725-755 levels.

Since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24 last year, the United States and its allies have been forcing the countries to stop buying the Russian oil in a bid to punish Moscow for its aggression. But considering the energy security to economic necessity and affordability, at a time when global oil prices have skyrocketed, India have done the opposite as India doesn’t want to repeat the mistakes of the past by abiding with sanctions on Iran, when China continued to buy Iranian oil and India stopped it. Russia had been also looking for buyers for its Ural crude oil following the outbreak of the conflict with Ukraine and sanctions from the US and European countries, and had offered oil at discounted prices. India, which used to import around 2% of its oil needs from Russia, has ignored the pressure from United States and its allies to not buy crude from Russia and enhanced its imports.
Jump in crude import from Russia
India emerged as a key consumer of Russian oil following the invasion of Ukraine. India's imports of Russian oil rose from a very low base at the beginning of 2022, increasing significantly throughout the year. The Russian oil import rose ten-fold in 2022 in India. India has increased its share of Russian crude procured at discounted prices. In June, India imported 39.5 percent of its crude from Russia, which was only 0.2 percent in January 2022, before the beginning of the war between Moscow and Ukraine.
Jump in crude import from Russia
Before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February last year, India was a minor importer of Russian crude, with purchases of about 44,500 barrels per day (bpd) in the 12 months to February 2022. It is less than its own domestic production. Now, India's oil imports from Russia surged to a record of around 1.96 million barrels per day (bpd) in May this year. Russia supplied 1.79 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude to India in June compared to May, data by Vortexa showed.
Russia, however, remained the top supplier of crude to India in June. Imports from Russia again exceeded the combined shipments of crude oil from Saudi Arabia and Iraq — the traditional suppliers of crude to India. In June, India imported 7,34,000 bpd of crude from Saudi Arabia and 8,44,000 bpd from Iraq. The combined imports of crude from these two Middle-Eastern countries have increased in June compared to the previous month. India imported 16.1 percent of its crude oil requirement from Saudi Arabia and 18.5 percent from Iraq in June. In May, India imported 5,60,000 bpd from Saudi Arabia and 8,39,000 bpd from Iraq.
The benefits for India are significant. Cheaper Russian oil is reducing losses for state-run Indian refiners selling fuel at lower prices on the domestic market. Although the discounts are now shrinking, India continues to import oil from Russia. According to Bloomberg, India's state-owned oil processor, Indian Oil Corp, Hindustan Petroleum and Bharat Petroleum are attempting to secure sixmonth supply contacts for Russian crude to India.

Over the past week, the Indian Rupee (INR) has shown resilience, bouncing back and reaching a one-month high against the US Dollar (USD). This recovery can be attributed to a combination of factors, including market expectations that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will intervene to limit the rupee's appreciation beyond the 81.80 mark. Additionally, importers have engaged in hedging strategies, and speculators have displayed cautious behavior, contributing to the rupee's stability. Meanwhile, the USD has experienced a decline, evidenced by the dollar index hitting a 15- month low. This drop is primarily driven by the prevailing belief among market participants that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will temporarily halt interest rate hikes. While a 25 basis points increase is already priced in for the upcoming Fed meeting, there is anticipation of a subsequent pause in rate hikes. It's important to note that despite the INR's strength against the USD, INR crosses like EURINR and GBPINR have reached all-time highs, surpassing 91.50 and 107.50 respectively this week. This can be attributed to the widening rate differentials in the G10 space, favoring the euro and pound over the dollar. However, it is crucial to exercise caution, as any indication from the Fed suggesting a change in their rate hike stance could quickly lead to a decline in the euro and pound. Looking ahead to the coming week, it is expected that the USDINR pair will trade within the range of 81.80 to 82.30. As for EURINR and GBPINR, further assessment is required, given the current market dynamics and uncertainties. It is advisable to closely monitor developments and stay updated with any announcements or actions from the RBI and the Fed to make informed decisions.
