Why commodity prices are likely to fall further?

RAZING OF TOWERS, VICTORY OF BUYERS
Dharmendra@dpradhanbjpPradhan 2023 is going to be a very special year. The UNGA has endorsed India’s proposal to observe 2023 as International Year of Millets. Given the benefits of super foods like millets and being a large producer, it is our responsibility to make the Millet Year a resounding success.
ambridge – Big movements in the prices of oil, minerals, and agricultural commodi ties have been among the most salient economic devel opments of the past couple of years. The sharp rise in com modity prices for much of this period was virtually im possible to miss. A barrel of Brent crude that sold for $20 in April 2020, during the first wave of the COVID-19 pan demic, fetched a peak of $122 in March 2022, just after Rus sia invaded Ukraine. Oil was not the only com modity to experience a price surge. The price of copper doubled; wheat more than doubled; and global indices of commodity prices almost tri pled from April 2020 to March 2022. And these increases are in dollar terms; prices in eu ros, yen, won, or other curren cies rose even more. Less widely noted, however, is that the prices of many commodities fell this sum mer. The price of oil de creased by about 30% between early June and mid-August. The politically sensitive price of gasoline in the United States fell by 20% over the same period, from $5 per gal lon to $4 per gallon. The over all index fell 12%. Is this dip in commodity prices just temporary? Or is it a sign that prices have peaked and can be expected to decline further?Commodity prices are highly correlated. One reason is direct microeconomic link ages. When the price of oil rises, wheat producers’ costs increase (because harvesting equipment runs on diesel and fertilizer is made from natu ral gas), which puts upward pressure on grain prices. Moreover, as the US Feder al Reserve and other central banks tighten monetary poli cy, real interest rates are like ly to rise. This will probably push down commodity prices, and not just because high real interest rates make a reces sion more likely. The level of real interest rates affects com modity prices independently of GDP, both in theory and empirically.Thetheory of the relation ship between real interest rates and commodity prices is long-established. The sim plest intuition behind the re lationship is that the interest rate is a “cost of carrying” inventories. An increase in the interest rate reduces firms’ demand for holding in ventories and therefore low ers the commodity price. Three other mechanisms operate, in addition to inven tories. First, for an exhausti ble resource, a rise in the in terest rate increases the in centive to extract today and thus expand the available supply. Second, for “financial ized” commodities, an in crease in the interest rate en courages institutional inves tors to shift out of the com modities asset class and into Treasury bills. Lastly, for a commodity that is interna tionally traded, an increase in the domestic real interest rate causes a real appreciation of the domestic currency, which works to lower the domesticcurrency price of the com modity.Econometric analyses have demonstrated the statistical relationship between real in terest rates and commodity prices. These include simple correlations; regressions that control for other important determinants, such as GDP and inventories in a “carry trade” model; and high-fre quency event studies that are much less sensitive to the econometric problems of the regressions.Twoepisodes illustrate that the effect of real interest rates on commodity prices operates independently of the GDP effect. Neither the spike in dollar commodity prices in the first half of 2008 nor the decline in 2014-15 can be explained by fluctuations in economic activity. They can instead be interpreted as the result, respectively, of loose US monetary policy (quantitative easing) and a tightening of US monetary policy with the end of QE.

umber nine proved to be a cursed digit for Supertech devel opers whose twin towers in Noida were razed in nine seconds on Sunday. The over 100 feet towers with 40 floors each were built in viola tion of building construction laws with the alleged conniv ance of some NOIDA officials. The gap between the two tow ers was only 16 metres. It took nine years for the Residents’ Welfare Associa tion (RWA) to win the legal battle against the developers after they filed a case in the Allahabad High Court in 2012. After the high court ordered demolition of the twin towers in 2014, the developer sought relief from the Supreme Court which upheld the dem olition order in 2021 and also ordered for buyers’ money to be refunded with interest. The demolition of the tall structures, India’s first, was a sight to watch. Carried out with complete technical effi ciency, it met all safety pa rameters. Even the dust clouds that arose from the site did not disturb the air quality level. Nor did the im plosion cause much collater al damage.

SPIRITUAL SPEAK God promises to make something good out of the storms that bring devastation to your life. Bible he Aam Aadmi Party is not holding its punches against the BJP. At a special as sembly session called a few days back to prove his strength Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged that the BJP wants to topple his govern ment by buying out his AAP leg islators. He alleged that the BJP had set aside Rs 800 crore to buy his 40 MLAs, offering them Rs 20 crore each. Calling BJP a “serial killer” , Kejriwal cited the exam ples of Maharashtra and Goa where elected governments were brought down by the BJP and said that the same pattern was being followed in Delhi when CBI raided Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s premises.Kejriwal also put his national ambition on the table when he directly attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that the raid on Sisodia was not part of the fight against corruption but was “to satisfy one man’s lust for power”. Can Arvind Kejriwal hide his own lust for power?

At the root of the problem, however, was corruption along with the alleged com plicity of NOIDA officials. The connivance between offic ers and engineers of various development authorities has allowed scores of illegal con structions to come up in state after state. To avoid such oc currences in future, stricter monitoring of the staff at de velopment authorities is re quired and as punishment to them and the developers all illegal constructions should be demolished. Strict preven tive measures are needed as not all buyers can fight so dog gedly to save their hardearned money.

Want my name on everyone’s tongue, the dream I saw when I was young. In the books should be engraved, over the place, my statues are made. Would be used as an example, for the victories, I’d gamble… My name shouldn’t vanish with a wave, scribble on the rocks, should stand brave. Hundred years later, they’d remember me, Legends never die, they just get free. (It was a perfect sunny day in Melbourne. I had come back from my morning jog and there was a surge of positive energy in my body. was remembering My childhood dream to play for my country in cricket. I too wanted to do something extraordinary and be remembered forever. It was here that thoughts came to my mind and I wrote the poem Legends never die.For They are always Awake in someone else’s dream. They utilise the 5 AM time, either they are going to bed or waking up.As said by the famous cricketer Sachin Tendulkar people throw Stones at the legends, they convert them into milestones.)
