Crude Oil Bullish Positions continued to fall for 15 week
Futures market traders and large speculators continued to lower their
overall bullish bets in crude oil futures last week as positions fell lower
for a fifteenth consecutive week, according to the latest Commitment of
Traders (COT) data released by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) on Friday.
The non-commercial contracts of crude oil futures, traded by large
speculators, traders and hedge funds, declined to a total net position of
+293,683 contracts in the data reported for October 7th. This was a
change of -2,263 contracts from the previous week’s total of +295,946
net contracts for the data reported through September 30th.
For the week, standing non-commercial long positions in oil futures
gained by a total of 8,953 contracts while the short positions advanced
by 11,216 contracts to total the overall weekly net change of -2,263
contracts.
Nickel Asia says ore shipment value jumps 165% in Jan.-Sept.
Source: Reuters
In a statement attached to a disclosure, Nickel Asia said its four
operating mines sold 14.26 million wet metric tons (WMT) of
nickel ore in January to September, compared with 10.32
million WMT in the same comparable period.
The effect of the Indonesian ore export ban has led to a rapid
surge in ore prices to Chinese customers, significantly higher
than the increase experienced in LME (London Metal Exchange)
prices.
As a result, ore sales to Japanese customers, whose selling
price has been traditionally linked to LME prices, are now
benchmarked to China prices on the basis of a negotiated price
per WMT of ore starting April of this year.
Nickel Asia Corp. shipped P20.6 billion worth of nickel ore in the first nine
months of the year, up 165 percent from P7.8 billion year-on-year, the
company reported to the Philippine to the Philippine Stock Exchange on
Monday.

Bullion
Gold
Spot gold prices traded positive yesterday and rose to a three-week high
as concern that the global economy is faltering fuelled bets that the
Federal Reserve will keep U.S. interest rates low, driving the dollar down
and boosting the safe haven appeal of the yellow metal. Also, Fed Vice
Chairman Stanley Fischer said on Oct. 11 that weak growth outside the
U.S. may prompt the central bank “to remove accommodation more
slowly than otherwise” supported gains. Holdings in SPDR Gold Trust, the
No.1 gold ETF and a good proxy for investor sentiment, rose 1.79 tonnes to
761.23 tonnes on Monday - the fund's first inflow since Sept. 10.
Further, gloomy economic signals out of Europe and a slowdown in China
have prompted many investors to push back their expectations for the
Fed’s first rate increase, damping the urgency to sell gold and eliciting
fresh bullish bets.

On the MCX, gold prices gained marginally as Rupee appreciation
restricted sharp gains and closed at Rs.26972/10gms.
Silver
Spot silver prices in the international markets gained in tandem with gains
in gold prices. Also, weakness in the DX coupled with positive trend in the
base metals complex acted as a positive factor for prices.
Spot silver prices in the international markets gained by 0.6 percent and
closed at $17.5/oz. On the MCX, silver prices fell by 0.5 percent owing to
Rupee appreciation and closed at Rs.38336/kg.

Outlook

global growth worries. Also, positive trend in SPDR holdings will support
gains.
On the MCX, gold and silver prices are expected to trade higher taking
cues from strength in international markets.

Crude Oil
Market Highlights - Crude Oil (% change)
WTI oil prices traded lower yesterday as indications Saudi Arabia is
comfortable with lower oil prices weighed.
Crude Oil
Oil prices sold off after Saudi Arabia privately told oil market
participants that it is ready to accept oil prices below $90 per barrel,
and perhaps down to $80, for an extended period. Saudi Arabia is the
largest exporter among OPEC members and produces approximately 10
million barrels of oil a day.
In addition, Kuwait's oil minister Ali al-Omair said OPEC is unlikely to cut
output to support prices. Al-Omair was quoted as saying that a drop to
the $76 to $77 a barrel range might be the level that would end the
recent slide in prices.
WTI oil prices in the international markets declined by 0.9 percent and
closed at $87.8/bbl.
On the MCX, crude prices plunged by 1.2 percent on Monday taking
cues from weak international markets and Rupee appreciation and
closed at Rs.5219/bbl.

Technical Chart – NYMEX Crude Oil
Outlook
On an intraday basis, we expect crude oil prices to trade lower as U.S.
corporations to oil-rich nations have refrained to help reduce supplies
and increase prices, thereby acting as a negative factor.
Also, investors’ expectations that members of the Organization of the
Petroleum Exporting Countries would collectively cut production have
been put to ease and will exert downside pressure on prices.

Base Metals
Base metals on the LME traded higher yesterday as faster exports
eased concern that economic growth will fade in China, the world’s
biggest consumer. Chinese customs figures showed shipments abroad
climbed 15 percent from a year earlier last month while Imports,
projected to drop, gained 7 percent.
Prices also advanced after Premier Li Keqiang said China still expects
the economy to expand by about 7.5 percent in 2014.
In the Indian markets, base metals traded on a mixed note and Rupee
appreciation capped sharp gains.

LME Copper prices gained 0.5 percent yesterday as China’s imports of
copper ore and concentrate climbed for a second month to a record
as the world’s biggest producer of the refined metal boosts capacity.
The record shipments come as smelters in the world’s largest metals
consumer ramp up production capacity. According to data from the
National Bureau of Statistics, China produced 681,000 tons of refined
copper in August, climbing 7.4 percent from the previous month and
21 percent from the same month last year.

LME Inventories
In the Indian markets, copper prices fell by 0.2 percent due to Rupee
appreciation and closed at Rs.413.3/kg on Monday.
Outlook
From the intra-day perspective, we expect copper prices to trade
lower today owing to expectations of weak economic data from Euro
Zone. Also, Freeport-McMoRan Inc's Indonesian unit can resume
open-pit mining at its Grasberg complex, one of the world's biggest
copper mines will act as a negative factor.
