n the week gone by, global stock market witnessed a volatile movement as U.S.- I China tensions curbed investor risk appetite and after data showed another wave of Americans applied for unemployment benefits because of the coronavirus pandemic, caused global equity markets to stumble. Besides, the news that Beijing was set to impose new national security legislation on Hong Kong ruined the sentiments of the market participants. The move drew a warning from President Donald Trump, who said the United States would react “very strongly” against it. Meanwhile, China has set a budget deficit target for this year of “at least” 3.6 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Oil prices headed for a fourth straight week of gains, amid more evidence that fuel demand is recovering as countries ease business and social restrictions that were imposed to counter the coronavirus pandemic.
Back at home, domestic markets witnessed bouts of volatility tracking global cues amid a rapid rise in Covid-19 patient count at home. Investors preferred to wait on the sidelines for further cues on opening up of the economy. RBI has announced 40 basis points cut in repo rate to 4 percent. This is the governor's third such presser in the context of COVID-19 related measures in last two months. The first one was on March 27 and the second on April 17. The domestic currency rupee also continued to remain weak against the US dollar as headwinds due to US-China trade tiff and worries over the second wave of coronavirus infection weighed on investor sentiment. Meanwhile, ratings agency ICRA sharply revised its growth expectation for India to a 5% contraction in the current fiscal from 1%-2% growth earlier. The rating agency has also said the stimulus package contained more enabling provisions to support economic recovery after the lockdown was lifted rather than address the immediate needs of various sectors. Going forward, quarterly earnings and global market jitters over USChina tensions over Beijing's plan to impose a national security law on Hong Kong will continue to influence the investor sentiment.
On the commodity market front, the week gone by was all about the magical upside in crude prices amid some profit booking in bullions from higher levels. Industrial metals too caught the attention with its further rise. In agri, new trade equations with Malaysia influenced the prices. More import from Malaysia after a brief ban on CPO import, propped up CPO futures, even in India. Crude has risen more than 80% this month as production cuts have kicked in and demand has started to return. Oil and gas prices should rise as governments gradually lift travel restrictions. It is advisable to accumulate on correction only near the level of 2200 and the upside potential is of around 2700-2750. Gold will remain the favorite of investors on rising geopolitical tensions amid China omitted the 2020 target. It should trade in a range of 46000- 47500. Durable Goods Orders, GDP, Core PCE Price Index, PCE Price IndexPCE Price Index of US, GDP of Italy, Canada, Mexico and Germany, Core Inflation Rate of EU etc are many strong triggers that will influence commodities prices going forward.

Turmeric futures (June) is expected to trade on a positive note in the range of 5200-5500 levels. On the spot, higher demand is being witnessed which is boosting turmeric sales in Erode market. At the Erode Turmeric Merchants Association Salesyard, finger turmeric was sold at Rs.5,109-6,376 a quintal and root variety at Rs.4,809-6,003. At the Erode Cooperative Marketing Society, finger turmeric was sold at Rs.5,170-6,429 and root variety at Rs.4,960-5,959. Of 749 bags kept for sale, 575 bags were sold. The State Government is facilitating transport system and goods carrier system to improve more quantity of turmeric to be sold & be procured by the traders. In the present scenario, much of the yellow spice is being purchased by the turmeric powder grinding units. Jeera futures (June) is likely to consolidate in the range of 13100-13600 levels and trade with a downside bias. The market participants would closely watch the auctions that are going to take place from this weekend in a staggered manner and accordingly take cues from the process. Just when arrivals started peaking, the yard was closed since March 22 due to the outbreak of novel coronavirus. In days to come, we may see selling pressure over the counter as the farmers would try to offload their produce & on the contrary, the off-take will be limited with major wholesale consuming sectors such as restaurants and hotels remaining closed. Dhaniya futures (June) taking support near 5500, may gain higher towards 5899 levels. The demand from bulk buyers such as spice companies increased following relaxation in some restrictions. In Ramganj, the key trading centre in Rajasthan, the badami variety was sold at 5,800 rupees per 100 kg and the eagle variety at 6,000 rupees.
Bullion counter may trade with positive bias as rising U.S.-China tensions over coronavirus and new legislation on Hong Kong and further US stimulus is assisting the prices ; Gold may test 47900 and take support near 45800. The fundamentals are still supportive for gold. Meanwhile, there was a slight improvement in the manufacturing activity in Europe and the U.S., the PMI data also was slightly better. Gold steadied as an escalation in U.S.-China tensions underpinned bullion's safe-haven appeal, although positive economic data and easing lockdowns in some countries set up the precious metal for a weekly drop. However, U.S.-China frictions dampened risk appetite, underpinning bullion and offsetting pressure on the metal's prices from the slightly better data. Beijing's plan to impose new national security legislation on Hong Kong drew a warning from U.S. President Donald Trump that Washington would react "very strongly" to the legislation. Tension between the two countries has also heightened in recent weeks, as they exchange accusations on the handling of the coronavirus pandemic. U.S. economic data is likely to become grimmer as the effects of the pandemic become clearer, and it is difficult to know what the recovery could look like, New York Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams said. Silver may trade with mixed trend where it may take support near 44200 whereas may face resistance near 48290. The lower-for-longer interest rates with quantitative easing in full swing, macro and geopolitical uncertainty and strong investor flows should continue to support gold prices on a longer horizon. On Comex Gold may take support near $1685 whereas on upside it may face resistance near $1760. Also Silver on Comex may trade in range of $16-$18.
Soybean futures (June) is expected to witness correction towards 3650 facing resistance near 3820 levels. The counter is taking negative cues from the international market amid growing concerns that the U.S. government's rhetoric about China's response to the coronavirus pandemic will dampen Chinese demand for U.S. supplies. U.S.-China tensions have spiked in recent weeks, with Pompeo and President Donald Trump slamming Beijing's handling of the outbreak. Mustard futures (June) is witnessing a bull run, and this uptrend is likely to continue till 4400-4450. But, before taking fresh long positions we would advice to wait for some correction as the fundamentals of demand & supply are in tug-of-war. On demand side, it is estimated that India's exports of mustard meal are expected to halve in 2020-21 (Apr-Mar) from 961,312 tn exported last year due to waning demand from traditional buyers amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Demand for the Indian-origin meal in the global market has also softened because of lower buying from the livestock sector. However, the downside may get restricted & take support near 4250 as the supply is lower than expected supply of fresh crop in spot markets due to restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus in the country. Soy oil futures (June) may consolidate in the range of 760-785 with upside getting capped. In the international market, the upside movement of soy oil on CBOT is getting limited as the demand has shifted to palm oil. CPO futures (May) is looking bullish towards 610-615 levels. Recently, India & Malaysia have signed deal to come back into business of palm oil & Malaysian government expects this positive development to strengthen palm oil prices in the market.
Crude oil prices may trade on strong note. Crude oil surged to its highest level since March’2020 supported by various factors including demand recovery after government easing the restrictions imposed due to COVID-19. After witnessing profit booking from higher level crude may again rebound and may test 2750 whereas may take support near 2290. Crude prices have slumped in 2020, with Brent hitting a 21-year low below $16 a barrel in April as demand collapsed. With fuel uses are rising and more signs that the supply glut is being tackled. Global supply has been curtailed to a great degree and we are on a clear path to a gradual recovery now. So far in May, OPEC+ has cut oil exports by about 6 million bpd, according to companies that track the flows, suggesting a strong start in complying with the deal. Qatar Petroleum will slash its spending by around 30% this year in the face of the sharp drop in oil and gas prices due to the coronavirus epidemic. Natural gas may continue to trade in wider range 120-140. Producers were operating the fewest oil and natural gas drilling rigs on record in the United States at 339 on May 12, the lowest level in the Baker Hughes Company’s rig count data series that dates back to 1987. The decrease in natural gas prices has been over a longer period than oil prices; natural gas prices were already at multi-year lows in early 2020. The weather is expected to be warmer than normal over the next 2- weeks in US, but there is little impact on natural gas demand.
Cotton futures (June) facing resistance near 16220, can witness correction towards 15000-14800 levels. There are several bearish factors that may lend negative cues to the fbre prices. Firstly, there is over 15% unsold cotton stock and acute lack of demand. The procurement agencies and private ginners have slowed down their purchases because of the huge price depreciation and extended lockdowns. Secondly, sowing has already started in some north Indian states and farmers are seen shifting from paddy to other competing crops, mainly cotton, due to shortage of labour and also because of higher returns. Average yield is expected to rise to 491 kg per ha from 480 kg last year, said US Department of Agriculture in a report. In days to come, more correction can be seen in chana futures (June) as it can descend towards 4000, hence sell on rise is recommended in this counter near the resistance of 4150. The peak arrival of good quality moong is on the way & is expected to peak till end of this month & this is likely to add selling pressure. Moreover, summer crop sowing well on track, impressive increase in area under pulses. About 10.35 lakh ha area coverage under pulses as compared to 5.92 lakh ha. during the corresponding period of last year. Mentha oil futures (June) will possibly go down further to test 1140-1120 levels. The oil from new mentha crop has started arriving at the key wholesale market of Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh, being harvested in Bareilly, Sitapur and Konch districts. Production is seen at a record high of 55,000-60,000 tn this year, up nearly 50% as it was more profitable than other crops such as bajra, urad or maize.
Base metals may trade with positive bias. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang is expected to unveil stimulus measures when the National People's Congress starts on Friday to spur its economy. Meanwhile, the general manager of stateowned metals group Chinalco is calling on China to rein in "blind expansion" of copper smelting capacity Smelters in China. Copper may test 416 while taking support near 390. But the prices may lower as mounting Sino-U.S. tensions and concerns about a rebound from the coronavirus-led economic slump may curb risk appetite and demand for metals. Tensions may stoke worries that a U.S.- China “Phase 1” trade deal could be threatened. Zinc may recover towards 160 levels by taking support near 145 levels while Lead may face resistance near 138 levels while taking support near 128 levels. The lead market recorded a surplus of 19,000 tonnes in the three months to March this year after an oversupply of 13,000 tonnes in the same period in 2019, according to the ILZSG. Nickel may witness recovery towards 960 levels while taking support near 900 levels. Rising demand in the spot market from alloy makers mainly are supporting the prices. China’s nickel ore imports dropped 70% YoY in April as mining operations and shipments from the top supplier—the Philippines—were suspended to stem the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Aluminum also may remain in narrow range of 129-135 levels. The huge costs involved in suspending and restarting aluminum smelters have mostly prevented any significant supply cuts. As per WBMS, world primary aluminium surplus came in at 709,000 mt vs 761,000 mt, a key factor holding back any recovery in prices.

The week gone by was all about the magical upside in crude prices amid some profit booking in bullions from higher levels. Industrial metals too caught the attention with its further rise. In agri, new trade equations with Malaysia influenced the prices. More import from Malaysia after a brief ban on CPO import, propped up CPO futures, even in India. Gap between CPO and Refined Soya minimized. Malaysia agreed to import rice and sugar from India. Back to crude, it saw a massive jump of more than 20% and it seems that market was fully ready not to send this counter in negative territory once more in May expiry. WTI rose for a sixth day past $34 a barrel, the longest streak for the front-month contract since February 2019. Additional cut by US and other countries apart from OPEC + amid some renewed demand gave upsurge to the prices. China’s oil demand rises back to pre-pandemic levels. China’s oil demand is thought to have rebounded to about 13 mb/d, just shy of the 13.4 mb/d level seen before the initial lockdown. Meanwhile, China’s air quality is now worse than it was before the pandemic. The U.S. and Canada have lost somewhere between 3.5 and 4.5 mb/d. U.S. shale production will decline by 197,000 bpd June, compared to May. Natural gas was mostly in range. Average gas output in the U.S. Lower 48 states fell to 89.5B cf/day so far in May. Global demand for natural gas will decline by nearly 2% this year, as commercial and industrial activity is reduced due to coronavirus lockdowns. Base metals saw some upsurge on ease of lockdown news, nevertheless the upside was capped as COVID 19 positive cases crossed 50 lack. It is hampering the labor supply and transportations. Buyers are also inactive so far. Gold prices were on course for their first close over $1,750 an ounce since 2012 on Wednesday, supported by hopes of further monetary policy loosening around the world that continues to channel money out of bonds and into bullion. Silver again outperformed, rising above $18 an ounce for the first time since late February.
It was a good week for spices, apart from oil seeds and edible oils futures. Turmeric and coriander saw good upside on improved offtake in spot market. It is reported that the AMPC of Unjha, will resume auction of the spice seeds from this weekend in a staggered manner. Soyabean was in range. The reason being is that this kharif season has brightened the prospects for soybean cultivation starting next month. Mustard performed better as demand for mustard at this time is good from millers. Mentha prices were down. This season, the acreage of menthe in the major grown state of Uttar Pradesh has totaled to 200,000 hectares.

Indian rupee recorded another week of marginal move amid lack of fresh trigger from global markets. Dollar flows into Indian businesses notably PE funds hit the markets prompted traders to trim long positions in dollar against rupee mark. However, strong intervention to bid dollar by RBI at lower level warrant the outright fall in USD/INR pair. Admittedly the domestic Industrial output has slumped & other timely survey highlights the severity of the economic fallout and any recovery post lock-down which has been extended till 31st May will be very slow. We are maintaining our bearish view in rupee in coming week. Meanwhile euro rallied after optimism creates for the fiscal package announced of €500 billion by both Germany & France is a welcome move towards fiscal union. However, the benefit to other members especially Italy which is the most affected during on-going pandemic crisis would be little more than roughly 2-3% of Italian GDP over a period of one year. We will get the entire details of fiscal roadmap on 27th May (Thursday) that which member’s countries are in and who is opposing. Apparently it is a complicated process and any hint for the failure of interest amongst euro zone members will push euro to fall further. Going forward next week how US-China trade war flare up and further implementation of fiscal roadmap in euro zone will guide the forex move.

Aditya Birla SLbars fresh inflows in two debt funds; but no restrictions on redemptions
Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund has temporarily suspended fresh subscriptions and switch-in applications in Aditya Birla Sun Life Medium Term Plan (ABMTP) and Aditya Birla Sun Life Credit Risk Fund (ACRF). The fund house has suspended new investments in these schemes from May 22, 2020. Redemptions from these funds, though, will be allowed, as usual.
SEBI allows listing of mutual fund units of schemes in process of winding up
The Securities and Exchange Board of India has allowed listing of mutual fund units of the schemes that are in the process of winding up on the stock exchanges with immediate effect. This move will allow Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund to list their units for those investors who wish to exit. On April 23, Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund had said it would wind up six schemes - Franklin India Low Duration Fund, Franklin India Dynamic Accrual Fund, Franklin India Credit Risk Fund, Franklin India Short Term Income Plan, Franklin India Ultra Short Bond Fund and Franklin India Income Opportunities Fund - citing severe illiquidity and redemption pressures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
SEBI allows mutual funds to invest additional 15% AUM in G-Sec, T-bills
The Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) has written to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) seeking investment in G-Sec, T-bills for Corporate Bond Fund, Banking & PSU Fund, and Credit Risk Fund. Responding to AMFI, SEBI has said mutual funds can invest additional 15 percent of AUM in G-Secs & T-Bills in corporate bond, banking & PSU and credit risk funds. G-Secs & T-Bills are considered to be safer and most liquid form of instrument. The regulator has said that such additional investment in G-secs or T-Bills is optional for asset management companies. SEBI aims to make the portfolio of these three category of funds liquid given that the fund houses witnessed tremendous redemption pressure particularly after Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund shut its six schemes creating panic.
