COMMODITY BUZZ : 

The American Petroleum Institute late Tuesday reported a 2.5 million-barrel fall in U.S. crude supplies for the week ended Dec. 13. A decline of 4 million barrels in crude supplies had been forecasted. API reported gasoline stockpiles down 481,000 barrels, while distillate supplies fell 434,000 barrels. Gasoline supplies were expected to rise by 1.4 million barrels and distillate inventories to decline by 1 million barrels.



Non-OPEC crude oil supply is forecast to expand at its fastest pace for 30-years in 2014 and that this will have significant implications for OPEC’s leverage over oil markets as the need for its oil likely starts to shrink.



Prices of iron ore and chrome ore are witnessing downward pressure on poor demand from within the country, precipitated by stagnated consumption growth of finished steel products. In India the chrome ore rates are still at much higher level while the prices of its end product, ferrochrome has not gone up in the international market. The chrome ore rates dropped this time as buyers are unwilling to pay higher price.
