MCX - WEEKLY NEWS LETTERS The euro is on track for its biggest weekly rise in a month as investors put political concerns on the back-burner and look ahead to a European Central Bank meeting at which it is expected to outline plans to unwind its huge stimulus programme. The U.S. dollar held steady near two-week lows against other major counterparts on Friday, as investors remained cautious ahead of a highly-anticipated U.S. inflation report due later in the day. Crude oil prices rallied on Friday, supported by news in the previous session of a third weekly decline in U.S. crude stockpiles and amid global signs the market is tightening.
Gold prices moved higher on Friday, as sentiment on the greenback remained vulnerable ahead of
highlyanticipated data on U.S. inflation due later in the day. Comex gold futures were up $2.55 or about 0.20% at $1,299.05 a troy ounce by 03:15 a.m. ET (07:15 GMT), just off a two-and-a-half week high of $1,300.73 hit overnight.
President Donald Trump will lay out a more confrontational strategy toward Iran by the United
States on Friday in a speech in which he is likely to strike a blow at an international Iran nuclear deal, complicating U.S. relations with European allies.
U.S. retail sales recorded their biggest increase in 2-1/2 years in September likely as
reconstruction and clean-up efforts in areas devastated by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma boosted demand for building materials and motor vehicles. Retail sales rose in September, pointing to a strong economy, official data showed on Friday. In a report, the U.S. Commerce Department said that retail sales rose 1.6% from the prior month, barely missing forecasts for a gain of 1.7%. Retail sales in August fell 0.1%, which was revised from a negative 0.2%.
� BULLION Gold prices rose as minutes from a U.S. Federal Reserve September meeting showed policymakers had a prolonged debate about prospects of a pick-up in inflation and slowing the path of future interest rate rises if it did not. Weak dollar index and geopolitical tensions in Spain and North Korea further supported the rally in gold. Russia and China both called for restraint on North Korea following a Twitter post from U.S. President Donald Trump hinting that military action was on his mind. The focus of the markets have now shifted from the geo-political crisis to the economic data that will be released from the US, besides, the possibility of rate hike scenario in the US is a factor for gold prices to move lower in the week ahead. Precious metals continued to gain after monthly consumer inflation numbers from US disappointed a bit and led to a rally in bullions. However, the gains were limited in domestic markets considering the fall in US dollar prices against INR. Bullions prices have closed positive for second straight week while long positions have been reduced by large hedgers and professional money which suggests that immediate upside could be limited. Also, the current leg of rally seems to have extended enough that correction on the downside is expected to hit both the commodities. However, there is clear reversal in prices marked in Silver and it might continue to move compared to Gold. Gold could mark reversal in prices with break above 1314$ in spot. If prices extend above 1314$, the current rally which looks like a corrective structure now will change into an impulsive one and major rally will witnessed any time soon. Strong Indian demand outlook in the upcoming Diwali season is offering decent buying for Gold. The metal is holding up even as US stocks hit record highs. A rather tepid reading on the US inflation front also boosted Gold. The US Labor Department said its consumer price index climbed by 0.5% in September after rising by 0.4% in August.
The increase in consumer prices was largely due to a jump in energy prices, which soared by 6.1% in September after rising by 2.8% in August. However, excluding food and energy prices, core consumer prices inched up by 0.1% in September after edging up by 0.2% in August. COMEX Gold broke above $1300 per ounce levels while the MCX Gold edged up well above Rs 29800 per 10 gram levels. Meanwhile, the Fed is likely to raise rates so long as the medium-term economic outlook remains unchanged, according to the minutes of its latest meeting. The Fed noted that recent hurricanes had not disrupted that outlook and it expects slower growth for a few months, but does not expect a long-term effect. Some Fed policy members expressed concerns about inflation running below its 2% annual target, while others worried that waiting for inflation to normalize policy could lead to an overheated market. In India, Jewellery purchases exceeding Rs 50,000 will not require the PAN number to be provided after the government reversed an earlier notification on last Friday. Jewellers will also not be required to inform authorities about jewellery purchases of over Rs 50,000 after the government rescinded a notification issued on August 23. This is keeping sentiments firm in local retail markets.
� BASE METAL LME Copper prices gained momentum last week week and surged by more than 3 percent as global investors chose to react to news of selective monetary easing in China once Chinese markets returned from week long holiday. People's Bank of China's had announced on Sept. 30 that it would cut the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for some banks that meet certain requirements for lending to small business and the agricultural sectors. Demand prospects brightened further after the International Monetary Fund raised Chinese economic growth forecast for 2017 and 2018 to 6.8 percent and 6.5 percent respectively, both 0.1 percentage point higher than its previous forecast in July. Besides, persistent decline in LME stocks has already pulled the inventories lower by 5 percent so far in October.
COMEX Copper futures have come off their one month high around $3.5 per pound this week though supportive equities and upbeat global economic data are keeping the losses limited. MCX Copper futures hit highs above Rs 451 per kg levels. BHP, Biliton,one of the world's largest copper miners, decided last year to raise its annual exploration spending by 29%, allocating nearly all its $900 million budget to finding new copper and oil deposits. The mining giant is committed to make of those two commodities the pillars of its future growth. Analysts believe the red metal is well placed to benefit from the increasing development of battery-powered vehicles, as they use more copper than regular cars. Internationally, Chilean state copper miner Codelco kicked off a tender process for a $1.2 billion plant and has since indicated it has received several expressions of interest. It's estimated the Spence project will generate 5,000 jobs during its construction phase, and add about 185,000 tonnes of copper a year to BHP's output over the first decade of the expanded operation, with first production expected in 2021. BHP, already the world's second-biggest listed copper miner, decided last year to raise its annual exploration spending by 29%, allocating nearly all its $900 million budget to finding new copper and oil deposits. The mining giant is committed to make of those two commodities the pillars of its future growth. Analysts believe the red metal is well placed to benefit from the increasing development of battery-powered vehicles, as they use more copper than regular cars. Currently, electric cars add up to roughly 1 million, out of a global fleet of closer to 1.1 billion. But BHP believes that figure could rise to 140 million electric vehicles, or 8% of the global fleet, by 2035 Nickel has enough room for the upside as the commodity was highly oversold in the past and is now reviving from multi-year lows. This revival in prices is now catching fire and prices are expected to cross yearly highs of 816.5 in near term. The other metals except Aluminium have the potential to move another 4-5% higher from current levels. The stronger fundamentals are now topping out with extreme economic numbers from China are now deteriorating. Also, another thing which is keeping the rally alive in metals is the strong bias in global equity markets which has created the environment of bullishness in the assets of risk.
✍ ENERGY WTI and Brent oil prices declined by around 4.4 percent and 1 percent respectively last week while, MCX oil prices trades higher by 2.2 percent in the same time frame. OPEC forecast higher demand for 2018 and heightened tensions in Kurdistan supported prices. On the other side, U.S. oil exports are pouring into the market at a record pace, but the world's second largest crude trader Glencore said the market can absorb the volumes along with those from the North Sea and West Africa. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is seeking to hold a second meeting with U.S. independent oil firms as well as hedge funds, OPEC's Secretary General said, that no oil producer could afford to live in isolation. WTI Crude oil hit two week highs above $51 per barrel as falling US crude inventories boosted sentiments. Broad demand side remains bullish too. EIA reported a 2.8-million-barrel draw in US crude oil inventories for the week to October 6th yesterday. Record high US equities also kept the outlook firm for the commodity. MCX Crude oil futures closed above Rs 3300 per barrel mark. Oil has managed to edge up after testing its three week low. Oil cartel OPEC said in its latest Monthly Oil Market Report that it had revised upwards its 2017 oil demand growth forecast by 30,000 bpd to 1.5 million bpd, which also helped to boost prices despite the cartel also reporting an increase in its September oil production to 32.75 million barrels – 25,000 bpd above the quota OEPC agreed to last November. Crude Oil recovered back after stronger than expected inventories draws. Prices have made a habit to react lately to the inventories number released by EIA and reacting inversely immediately after the inventory number and it has been happening from past 2-3 months. The shorter term fundamentals for the commodity are improving with supply disruptions in many parts of the world. This is the second straight week where operational oil rigs have reduced by 5. This has come at a time when prices are trading near the upper range of past few years. With heavy reduction in short positions from large hedgers in the last week’s COT report suggests that larger players are now convinced that prices might be moving higher. Technically speaking, we now have a resistance near 54$ with rising channel resistance along with wave C which started from 45.5$ is expected to equate wave A which completed at 50.4$.
The OPEC Reference Basket rose to $53.44/b in September, its highest value since July 2015. Crude futures prices also saw gains, with ICE Brent averaging above the $55/b, supported by increasing evidence that the oil market is heading toward rebalancing. Geopolitical tensions and lower distillates stocks also pushed prices higher. ICE Brent averaged $55.51/b in September, a gain of $3.64, while NYMEX WTI increased $1.82 to average $49.88/b. Hedge funds raised net long position in ICE Brent and NYMEX WTI futures and options by almost 200,000 contracts.
MCX TECHNICAL VIEW � GOLD Last week, Gold prices opened higher with gap and thereafter prices consolidated for the whole week in the range of 29700-29900 levels. Prices have bounced after taking strong support at its declining trend line breakout level which previously acted as a strong resistance. Prices have made a bullish hammer candlestick pattern on the weekly chart and gave a positive close in the last week, which is suggesting further rally towards next strong resistances placed around 30200 and 30500 levels. On the lower side immediate supports are placed around 29600 and 29250 levels. Buying in minor pullbacks is recommended for the short term trading opportunities.
� CRUDEOIL In the last week, Crude Oil prices opened flat and prices rose strongly for first half of the week till high of 3360. Later prices consolidated in a narrow range and settled around 3310 level. Prices have bounced after taking strong support around its previous swing high of 3234 level and formed a higher top higher bottom chart pattern. Prices have also formed a potential inverse head and shoulder chart pattern, which is also a bullish signal for the commodity. Prices are expected to rise further from these levels towards immediate resistance placed around its recent multiple swing highs near 3480 level. On the lower side immediate supports are placed around 3270 and 3200 levels.
âœ? NICKEL Nickel prices opened higher with gap in the last week and prices rose strongly for the whole week till high of 757.40 level.

NCDEX - WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW � SPICE COMPLEX The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) forecasts Indian rice production for MY 2017/18 lower at 107.5 MMT on lower than expected planting and yield due to prolonged dry conditions and floods during planting and crop growth stages in some rice growing states. The Ministry of Agriculture's latest report indicates rice planting through September 22, 2017, at 37.7 million hectares, about 0.5 million hectares lower than rice planting during the corresponding period last year, but higher than the five-year historical average of 37.4 million hectares. Relatively dry conditions during July and August delayed planting in the largely unirrigated rice growing southern and eastern states.The prolonged dry spells during August and September affected the critical vegetative growth, tillering and flowering stages, mostly in the central states of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and parts of eastern India. The eastern part of Uttar Pradesh and northern Bihar faced severe flood conditions during August which caused damage to the standing rice crop at the early vegetative growth stage. Relatively weak reservoir water position for irrigation is also likely to affect the planting prospects for the upcoming Rabi season rice in the eastern and southern states. However, the crop is progressing very well under adequate soil moisture conditions in the irrigated rice growing areas, particularly in the northern and eastern states. Consequently, post estimates MY 2017/18 rice production at 107.5 MMT (94 MMT kharif rice and 13.5 MMT rabi rice) from 42.7 million hectare area, the second highest harvest recorded. However, cyclones in October and November in the eastern coast could further adversely affect the current production forecast. Based on the latest figures from the Food Corporation of India, government rice procurement for MY 2016/17 is estimated to reach a record 38.1 MMT compared to 34.2 MMT last year;the previous record was 35 MMT in MY 2011/12
The latest update from United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) forecasted that the Brazil 2017/18 production at 107 million metric tons (mmt), a 6.1 percent reduction compared to the previous season. The drop in the production outlook is due to a return to average yields, after an almost perfect season in 2016/17. Soybean exports for Marketing Year (MY) 2017/18 are forecast at 64 mmt as a result of strong demand by China. For the current MY 2016/17, Brazil exported 56 mmt in the first 7 months of the MY, about 19 percent higher compared to the previous season. USDA forecasts soybean exports for MY 2016/17 at 65 mmt, a record. The increase is due to the higher exportable supplies, strong demand by China, and competitive export prices. Brazilian soybean producers have forward contracted the 2016/17 crop for exports at a much slower rate compared to the last couple of seasons waiting for better prices; however, the pace picked up in the last couple of months. In the first 7 months of the marketing year, Brazil exported 56 mmt, about 19 percent higher compared to the previous season. The pace of soybean exports will start to slow down as it starts to compete with corn exports, but additional port capacity in Brazilian ports should allow Brazil to continue to meet international demand. � SPICE COMPLEX NCDEX Jeera closed lower on Friday due to balanced demand and supply. Currently there is subdued demand from the physical players due to weak exports. As per government data, Jeera exports during first four month of FY 2017/18 (Apr-Jul) is 49,205 tonnes, down 11% compared to last year exports volume for the same period. India's jeera exports in Jul down 12% on year to 7,498 tn. The arrivals have been higher during first 15 days of October at 2,676 tonnes compared to 930 tonnes last year same period according to Agmarknet data . Turmeric futures for Nov delivery closed lower on Friday on profit booking but on weekly basis the prices have closed higher. The trend looks positive due to wet conditions in the southern peninsula which may affect the production. The export of turmeric is down by 16.4% to 41,517 tonnes for the first 4 month of FY 2017/18 compared to last years’ exports. For 2017/18, turmeric sowing in Telangana, this season down 1.5% to 44,956 hectares as compared to last year acreage of 45,633 hectares.
Dhaniya futures resumed its southward journey tracking weak fundamentals. Cardamom futures traded with sideways sentiments on lack of buying support. Jeera and Turmeric futures faced resistance at higher levels due to profit booking and ended with losses. Arrivals of good quality Turmeric may pressurize the prices at higher levels. Prices of Jeera are likely to get support at lower levels due to low availability of stock in physical market and quality concerns. Upside in Dhaniya futures can be use to initiate fresh shorts as fundamentals of the commodity are bearish. India exported 3,06,990 tonnes of Spices worth Rs 4,589.14 crore during the first quarter of the 2017-18 financial year, up 35% as compared to 2,27,938 tonnes in the corresponding period last year, the Spices Board of India said. Below normal monsoon rainfall in major growing regions, lower carryover stocks and better export demand likely to support Cardamom prices in near term. � OILSEED COMPLEX NCDEX Soybean Nov futures closed higher last week hoping for higher demand for new season crop as prices are less than minimum support price. Market participants are expecting lower arrivals in the physical market because of festival season in coming weeks. In a press release SOPA, has estimated 201718 (Oct-Sep) soybean output at 9.15 mt, down from 11.49 mt a year ago.
