BASE METALS:

In Base metals to witness a flat to negative opening at the MCX, supported by a rising rupee (appreciated 0.35% early morning). Basically, the demand for copper and nickel has increased in the last two sessions while aluminum, lead and zinc have witnessed accumulation at the exchange warehouses, which should limit the gains in futures prices today. The PVO analysis also indicates that gains in prices have been supported by rising volumes and open interest except for copper (open interest has declined Indicating that traders are not confident of holding positions). The PVO should also continue to support slight gains in base metals in today’s session as the day progresses. In general, we anticipate the gains in base metals should remain intact in today’s session, backed by improving manufacturing numbers and near-term weakness in the dollar. The ECB and BOE’s rate decision should also enhance the volatility in base metals prices in the evening and caution should be maintained.

CRUDE:

Crude oil is anticipated to extend its gains from yesterday’s session though the degree and the overall scope of the up move may be on a lighter note locally due to marginal appreciation in the Rupee against the US Dollar. Support to our view comes from the fact that the Fed in its post policy presentation said the US economy was expanding at a “modest” pace, a change from the “moderate” pace seen in June. It also said the bank remains worried regarding the Inflation number which stands fairly below the targeted level and thus creates a bullish case that it would continue with its ultra low interest rate scenario and the MBS program longer than the previously anticipated time-frame, eventually keeping the US Dollar lower and helping the commodity prices to gain.

Mentha Oil:

Yesterday, spot prices at the Barabanki mandi were Rs 27/kg lower, unlike spot prices at the Chandausi and Sambhal mandis were marginally high er by Rs 3/kg compared to the previous day’s prices

Arrivals declined due to the continuous rainfall in the major mentha growing regions. Across the major mandis of Uttar Pradesh, arrivals were hovering around 1200-1400 drums (1 drum = 180 kg)

Lower arrivals at the spot front, coupled with minor export cues pushed spot prices higher to some extent Harvesting in all the major mentha growing regions ha been completed. However, according to some trade sources 5%-7% of crop remains to be harvested (in some small mentha growing belts)

Trade sources suggest that mentha oil production for this year’s crop has been increased by one third from last year’s production. It stands around 55000 MT

Adequate supply at the spot front along with weak export demand is cushioning mentha oil prices in the short term. Therefore looking at the weak export cues and huge production, mentha oil prices are expected to remain in a downtrend in today’s session.
