From The Desk Of Editor

In the past weak, global markets moved higher as investors continued to bet on interest rate cuts following a key reading on consumer inflation. October’s Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, the Fed’s favored inflation gauge, fell to its lowest level since the spring of 2021. This slowdown in inflation is a positive sign for the markets. Meanwhile, annualized inflation in the Eurozone expanded by 2.4% in November, with core inflation also increasing less than expected. On the Japanese front, Japan's factory activity shrank at the fastest pace in nine months in November. The final au Jibun Bank Japan Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) was at 48.3 in November. Japan’s businesses increased investment modestly over the summer as profits continued to grow, indicating resilience even as the economy shrank.

Back at home, domestic markets moved higher as faster-than-expected economic growth in the September quarter added to optimism over the global interest rate outlook. Exit polls results indicate a high possibility of political stability after the general elections. Furthermore, the robustness in the market has been bolstered by active participation from broader segments. The bold performance of global markets and IPO listings are adding glitter to mid & small caps. In another development, India's benchmark bond yield posted its biggest monthly drop in six months in November, tracking a plunge in U.S. small and mid-cap stocks, which outperformed their larger peers in the current rebound. Strong domestic flows brought stability to the market amid raging volatility in markets abroad. With an infusion of Rs 8,147.85 crore on November 30 alone, foreign investors continued to be net buyers in the domestic markets. A mixed trend on the sectoral front and rollover of derivatives positions kept traders busy, with the realty and pharma sectors putting up a good show. On the development front, India strengthened its position as the fastest-growing major economy by recording a 7.6 percent GDP growth in the September quarter, mainly led by the robust performance of the manufacturing sector. The latest GDP data surpassed the Reserve Bank of India's Monetary Policy Committee projection. The economy grew 7.8 percent in the first quarter of FY24 and 6.3 percent in the second quarter of FY23.

On the commodity market front, following a three-week decline, CRB experienced a resurgence in buying activity, while the Dollar Index encountered its third consecutive week of downturn, attempting to recover some losses. Taking advantage of the fall in the dollar index, gold continued its upward trajectory, outperforming silver. Gold and silver may exhibit an upside bias within the ranges of 61,000-63,500 and 75,000-78,500, respectively. In the energy sector, natural gas traded within a range, and crude oil prices showed marginal gains. However, oil prices retraced some of their weekly gains after OPEC+ producers agreed to voluntary output cuts for the first quarter, falling short of market expectations. Crude oil is anticipated to remain within a range of 6,200-6,600 levels. Natural gas prices may find support around 230 and could move towards 245 levels. This week's important data and events include ISM Services PMI, Non-Farm Payroll, Unemployment Rate, and Michigan Consumer Sentiment in the US, RBAInterest Rate Decision, BoC Interest Rate Decision, GDP Growth Rate in Australia, Japan, and the Euro Area, as well as inflation rates in Mexico and Germany.

WEEKLY VIEW OF THE MARKET

The Nifty, in a significant move, breached the psychological level of 20,000. Oil & gas and commodities sectors demonstrated relative strength in comparison to the overall market, while IT and pharma sectors lagged behind. Analysing Nifty's derivative data revealed notable call writing at the 20,400 and 20,300 strikes. Conversely, put writers displayed activity, particularly at the 20,200 and 20,100 strike points. In Banknifty, the highest call open interest was observed at the 45,000 strike, while on the put side, it was concentrated at the 44,500 strike. Implied volatility (IV) for Nifty's call options settled at 10.79%, while put options concluded at 11.67%. The India VIX, a key indicator of market volatility, concluded the week at 12.69%.

COMMODITYOUTLOOK

SPICES

Turmeric prices are expected to trade mixed to higher on weaker production outlook. Overall production is likely to remain down as compared to current year (2023-24) production of 10.45 lakh tonnes. In wake of lower acreages under turmeric, it seems overall production for year 2024-25 is likely to drop at least by 8%-10% Y-o-Y. With recent fall in turmeric prices, turmeric export is expected to increase in coming months as per export seasonality that will cap the major downfall in turmeric prices. Indian turmeric exports tumbled in Sep’24 by 35% Y- o-Y to 9.0 thousand tonnes with fall in imports in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has been largest importer of Indian turmeric but cut its imports by 70% Y-o-Y to 1083 tonnes. Turmeric prices are likely to trade in range of 12000 -13900 in coming week.

Jeera prices are expected to trade mixed to higher with emerging buying in local market. Supplies have been tighter that prompting stockists to go for aggressive buying on recent fall in prices. Impact of lower supplies is being seen on total export as Jeera export dropped again in Sep’24 by 65% Y-o-Y to 5.9 thousand tonnes as compared to 17.15 thousand tonnes of previous year. Total Jeera exports have slumped 32% Y-o-Y during Apr’23-Sep’23. Prices will track ongoing sowing activities which have picked up in Gujarat as 2.44 lakh Ha was sown under jeera as on 28th Nov’23 in Gujarat as compared to 1.13 lakh Ha of previous year. Better return over cost of cultivation and conducive sowing prospects will cap the excessive gains. Jeera Prices are expected to trade in range of 40500- 51500 in near term.

Dhaniya prices traded higher on reports of surging exports and bleak global supplies. Sowing activities are slower so far in year 2023 due to delayed sowing in Gujarat as only 56 thousand Ha was sown under dhaniya in Gujarat as on 28th Nov as compared to 1.57 lakh Ha of previous year. India exported about 4 thousand tonnes of dhaniya in Sep’23 against the 2.5 thousand tonnes of last year whereas overall export was reported at 66.2 thousand tonnes during Apr’23-Sep’23 higher by 297% Y-o-Y. Dhaniya prices are likely to trade in range of 7700-8750.

BULLIONS

Gold marked its third consecutive weekly increase, driven by indications of easing inflation in the U.S. that strengthened expectations for an upcoming interest rate cut. Recent data revealed a moderate rise in U.S. consumer spending for October, coupled with the smallest annual increase in inflation in over 2.5 years. The Federal Reserve's potential shift towards rate cuts gained traction, supported by cooling inflationary pressures and a more relaxed labor market, as highlighted by two Fed officials this week. Traders adjusted their predictions for a rate cut by the U.S. central bank, with CME's FedWatch Tool showing a shift from an 80% chance in May to a one-in-two chance in March. Lower interest rates contributed to gold's appeal, as they decrease the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets like bullion. Additionally, month-end flow and seasonal trends favoring gold gains between November and December played a role. The dollar index and 10-year Treasury yields saw declines, with the dollar recording its weakest monthly performance in a year in November. Geopolitical developments in the Middle East, particularly regarding Israel's plans to resume conflict with Hamas, were monitored by markets. The U.S. PCE price index rose 3% in October compared to a year ago, indicating a slowdown from the 3.4% gain observed in the preceding three months. On COMEX, gold prices continued their upward trend, potentially finding support near $2020 and facing resistance around $2090. Silver also witnessed bullish movement, with expected support near $23.00 and potential resistance around $27.10. Looking ahead, gold prices on MCX were anticipated to trade in the range of 60500 to 63400, while silver could fluctuate between 74000 and 81000, with a buying-on-dips strategy advised.

ENERGY COMPLEX

Crude oil prices sustained their downward trajectory, marking the sixth consecutive week of declines, as the voluntary output cuts agreed upon by OPEC+ producers fell short of market expectations. OPEC+, a coalition responsible for more than 40% of global oil production, has been prioritizing output reduction in response to declining prices, which dipped from around $98 in late September. Concerns about sluggish economic growth in 2024 and the anticipation of a supply surplus have been contributing factors. The agreed-upon voluntary output reduction of 900,000 barrels per day (bpd) was accompanied by an extension of the existing 1.3 million bpd production cuts. Earlier discussions had considered the possibility of implementing up to 2 million bpd in new output curbs. The market had priced in a substantial probability of additional cuts, including the potential for a more extended and official non-voluntary cut. Notable oil-producing nations, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, the UAE, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, and Algeria, clarified that the cumulative cuts, totalling 2.2 million bpd, would be gradually unwound after the first quarter, contingent on market conditions. In a separate development, Brazil announced its intention to join OPEC+ next year, though such a decision would not bind the South American giant to production cuts. Looking ahead, crude oil prices are expected to face continued selling pressure, potentially finding support near 6000 and encountering resistance around 6500. Meanwhile, natural gas experienced modest gains, influenced by long-term forecasts indicating limited cold weather to stimulate heating demand. However, the upside is constrained by factors such as abundant storage levels, record production, and reduced demand. In the upcoming week, natural gas prices may fluctuate within a broader range of 220-250.

BASE METALS

Base metals may trade sideways with bullish bias on hopes that top metals consumer China will extend support measures for its economy. However, gains may be limited as disappointing Chinese official manufacturing data, which showed factory activity contracted for a second straight month in November and at a quicker pace, indicated more policy support measures are needed to help shore up economic growth. Data showed profits at China's industrial firms extended gains for a third month in October, albeit at a slower pace, suggesting more policy support from Beijing is needed. China imported 353,000 metric tonnes of refined copper in October, which was the highest monthly volume this year. Copper may trade in the range of 705-735 levels. The massive demand boom for industrial metals from green energy is topping out in term of growth rates while weakness in China's property sector will also weigh on demand. Healthier near-term demand for copper has narrowed the discount for cash metal over the three-month contract to about $88 a ton from 31-year highs above $100. Zinc can trade in range of 215-235 levels. Nyrstar's decision to temporarily close mines in the U.S. due to inflation impacts added to concerns about future zinc production, as did operational halts in Ireland and Portugal. Lead can move in the range of 182-190 levels. Aluminium can trade in the range of 195-212 levels. A global aluminium producer has offered Japanese buyers a premium of $95 per metric ton for January-March primary metal shipments, down 2% from a premium of $97 per ton of the current quarter.

WEEKLY COMMENTARY

After experiencing a three-week decline, the CRB index witnessed resurgence in buying activity. In contrast, the Dollar Index faced its third consecutive week of downturn, attempting to recover some of its losses. Seizing the opportunity created by the fall in the Dollar Index, gold continued its upward trajectory, outperforming silver. The yellow metal saw stellar gains this week as a string of Fed officials suggested that recent declines in inflation indicated the central bank would likely not raise interest rates further. Moreover, the possibility of further easing in inflation may spur the bank to cut rates in early 2024. In the energy sector, natural gas traded within a range, while crude oil prices showed marginal gains. However, oil prices shed some of their weekly gains on Thursday after OPEC+ producers agreed to voluntary oil output cuts for the first quarter of next year, falling short of market expectations. Copper prices exhibited a third consecutive week of growth, while aluminum prices disregarded positive developments, ending the week in the red for the third consecutive time. Lead experienced modest buying, but zinc prices declined. Purchasing managers' index data showed that Chinese manufacturing activity shrank more than expected in November, extending a decline as export demand dwindled. The downturn pointed to a potential cooling in copper demand, although this notion was offset by signs of tighter copper markets following major mine closures in Peru and Panama. These closures are expected to limit copper supplies in the coming months. Increased demand for electric vehicles and a green energy push are also expected to offset declining Chinese demand.

In the agricultural sector, castor seeds displayed bearish behavior for the second consecutive week, and sunflower oil also exhibited weakness. Castor seed production is estimated at 16.69 lakh tonnes in the year 2023-24, compared to 19.80 lakh tonnes the previous year, marking a 16% YoY decline. Cotton oil seeds cake concluded the week in negative territory. Among spices, turmeric and jeera faced selling pressure, resulting in weakness, whereas dhaniya presented buying opportunities for traders. Export inquiries have been slower at the prevailing rate as global buyers are not showing much interest in Indian jeera due to its price uncompetitiveness and quality issues. Sowing activities are slower so far in the year 2023 due to delayed sowing in Gujarat, with only 35,754 Ha sown under dhaniya in Gujarat as of November 20th, compared to 95,633 Ha the previous year. Robust export demand supported firmness in dhaniya. The guar market remained within a range, leaning towards a downside bias.

However, investors were expecting ahead of the meeting that additional supply cuts might be deeper.
  • The group discussed 2024 output amid forecasts the market faces a potential surplus and as a 1 million barrel per day cut by Saudi Arabia was set to end next month.
  • OPEC+'s output of some 43 million bpd already reflects cuts of about 5 million bpd aimed at supporting prices and stabilising the market.
  • OPEC+ is focused on lower output with prices down from near $98 in late September and concerns brewing over weaker economic growth in 2024 and expectations of a supply surplus.
  • The total curbs amount to 2.2 million bpd from eight producers, OPEC said in a statement after the meeting. Included in this figure is an extension of the Saudi and Russian voluntary cuts of 1.3 million bpd.
  • The 900,000 bpd of additional cuts pledged in the meeting, includes 200,000 bpd of fuel export reductions from Russia, with the rest divided among six members.

In the month of November, the Indian Rupee experienced 0.1% decline against a softened dollar in Asian markets. As December unfolds, the Rupee faces its annual challenge with the anticipated year-end dollar demand. Despite FPI shifting to net buyers in November, injecting nearly $1.1 billion into domestic equities, Rupee remained under pressure due to persistent dollar demand. Key to watch RBI's December policy later next week to assess the weakness in the rupee and whether RBI is looking to announce any dollar swaps to prevent the rupee's fall. On the global front, the dollar index lost more than 2%, the worst monthly drop in a year after expectations that Fed may go for early rate cuts as early as in May. Parallely, euro, pound and yen witnessed a reciprocal rally notably pound recorded the largest monthly gain of 4% against dollar. However, the euro rally seems to be dented after Eurozone monthly inflation in November eased more than expected prompted ECB early rate cuts in April compared to May before the release. Yen stood out as the second most gainer in major pairs after US yields plunged from 4.48% to 4.30% in the month of November. Going forward NFP will be the pivotal for the dollar against a basket of currencies. It is expected that the rate differential is likely to support the dollar over euro in the coming days.
