The US Dollar Index (DX) traded higher by 0.4 percent on Wednesday owing to rise in riskaversion in the market sentiments that led to rise in demand for the low yielding currency.However, mixed economic data restricted sharp upside. The currency touched an intra day highof 90.67 and closed at 90.65 on Wednesday.

Page 5: Commodity report by ways2capital 05 jan 2015

The impact of a stronger dollar was partially offset by demand from investors worried abouttensions in Russia and political uncertainty in Greece. Bullion was on track for a small fall thisyear after a turbulent 2013, when prices fell by a third following 12 years of gains.

Gold's main driver in 2014 has been a buoyant dollar, which was poised to post its biggestyearly gain since 2005, and anticipated U.S. interest rate hikes may strengthen the greenback'sappeal in the coming year. Higher rates weigh on non-interest-bearing bullion.

BASE METAL

Copper was set to end 2014 with a loss of nearly 15 percent, its worst annual decline in threeyears, on concerns that a supply surplus will hit the market next year just as Chinese economicgrowth shifts down another gear.

Losses in copper, the most widely followed metal, were set to be exceeded only by lead - amarket that was in surplus in the year to September - while nickel was poised to be the bestperforming metal with gains of 8 percent for the year thanks to Indonesia's ore export ban.

Losses in copper, the most widely followed metal, were matched bytin and exceeded only by lead - a market that was in surplus in the year to September - whilenickel was the best-performing metal thanks to Indonesia's ore export ban. Year endadjustments to market positions helped copper bounce off 4-1/2-year lows of $6,230 a tonneearlier this week, but it resumed its decline on Wednesday, ending down 0.41 percent on theday at $6,299 a tonne.

Weighing on the metal this year, the global copper market is expected to record a surplus ofabout 390,000 tonnes in 2015, according to an industry group. That would follow five straightyears of deficit. Data on Wednesday showed activity in China's factory sector shrank for thefirst time in seven months in December, highlighting the urgency behind a series of surpriseeasing moves by Beijing in the past two months.

ENERGY

Oil prices fell on Wednesday to a 5-1/2-year low and ended with their second-biggest annualdecline ever, down by half since June under pressure from a global glut of crude.

Just before the close, Brent and U.S. oil futures bounced off session lows. But prices stillsettled at their lowest since May 2009. Weekly U.S. data showed crude oil stockpiles fell morethan expected, but inventories at the oil hub at Cushing, Oklahoma, grew, keeping pricesdepressed.

Page 6: Commodity report by ways2capital 05 jan 2015

Oil prices have collapsed this year as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countriesopted to maintain the same level of output despite a global glut caused by expanding U.S. shaleoutput and diminished demand growth from China.

U.S. crude closed with its second-largest annual decline on record. The biggest came in 2008,when prices collapsed in the wake of the financial crisis. The last round of OPEC output cutseventually brought them off lows near $30 a barrel. In contrast, OPEC at a Nov. 27 meeting thisyear decided against cutting output. Despite its own forecasts of a growing surplus, the groupopted to defend its market share against shale oil and other rival supply sources. Turmoil inLibya dented OPEC supply in December to a six-month low, a Reuters survey showed,although forecasts still point to a glut.

U.S. natural gas prices ended the year down more than 30 percent for their worst performancesince 2011 after unseasonably warm weather raised questions on whether gas in storage wasexcessive for the heating required in coming months. While weather forecasts from this weekonward have turned cold, price rebounds have been restrained by worries about whether gas instorage was possibly higher than needed when cold weather peaks in January and February.Latest weekly consumption numbers for gas from the U.S. Energy Information Administrationshowed a draw of 26 billion cubic feet (bcf) for the Christmas week ended Dec. 26. A Reuterspoll of analysts had predicted a 38-bcf draw.

CHANA

Rains in many parts of North-West and Central India keeps market sentiments weak onanticipations of that being good for the standing crop.

Domestic demand however likely to pick up again at the lower levels asoverall market sentiments remain firm. Fall in Rabi sowing area for Rabi Pulses and lowerInternational production prospects could support prices in medium to long term however.

SOYABEAN

Rains in MP and Rajasthan keep sentiments down for the counter even as International marketsremained closed. Overall weakness in International markets due to increased global productionare likely to keep further pressure on the market sentiments.

USDA raised its forecast for global production, and expects inventories to reach an all-timehigh. Bigger global grain and oilseed supplies have pushed world food costs to a 4-year low.Soybean futures are heading for second straight annual losses, the longest slides since 1999.The market analysts are of the opinion that even with record demand, the leftover supply ofsoybeans before next year’s harvest will be record large. Brazil’s government forecast agencyConab raised its outlook for the domestic crop to a record 9.58 crore tons. That’s bigger than

Page 9: Commodity report by ways2capital 05 jan 2015

the USDA estimate for 9.4 crore tons.

Expectation of fall in soymeal export from April 14 to March 15. Soymeal export likely to fallby 29 % to 20 lakh ton. Last year export 28 lakh ton Low export may pressurize the sentiments.

Global rapeseedproduction is projected at a record 71.9 million tons, up 1.2 million mainly on increasedproduction for Canada, which is estimated at 15.6 million tons based on the latest survey resultsfrom Statistics Canada.

Global oilseed ending stocks are projected at 104.1 million tons, up 1.1 million from last monthand 23.5 million above year-earlier levels. Increased rapeseed stocks in Canada and highersoybean stocks in Brazil and Argentina are only partly offset with lower soybean stocks in theUnited States.

REFI. SOYA

Moderate weakness was noted for Soy Oil as the higher levels recently touched from hike inImport Duty on Crude Edible Oil and refined edible oil were not sustainable. Profit bookingwas noted at the higher levels. Some more short term dips may be likely as Internationalmarkets cool down. Import Duty on Crude Edible Oil hiked from 2.5% to 7.5% and on RefinedEdible Oil hiked to 15% from 10%.

Fall in International markets had so far kept pressure on the market sentiments while domesticmarkets traded firm. Rates however continue to find strong psychological Resistance at the 600level.

In month of Nov 14, there is an increase of 700% import of Crude soybean oil to 121,097tonnes as compared to last year. It is mainly due to high prices of soybean and lesser realizationfor oil and soybean meal in export market, resulted in lower crushing and availability of

Page 10: Commodity report by ways2capital 05 jan 2015

domestic oil coupled with anticipated increase in import duty by the GOI. Total U.S. oilseedproduction for 2014/15 is projected at 117.0 million tons, down slightly due to a smallreduction in cottonseed.

Soybean exports are increased 40 million bushels to 1,760 million reflecting the recordexport pace in recent weeks and prospects for additional sales and shipments ahead of theSouth American harvest.With crush unchanged, soybean ending stocks for 2014/15 areprojected at 410 million bushels, down 40 million from last month but still the highest since2006/07.

India imported 11.62 million tonnes of edible oil during Sep-Oct 2013/14 compared to 10.68million tonnes during the same period previous season, stated the Solvent Extrac-tors'Association (SEA).

Sunflower oil imports were recorded at 1.51 Mn T against 0.97 Mn T in 2012/13

RM SEED

Rains in growing states of Rajasthan, Gujarat and UP kept trend weak for RMSeed as that isreportedly good for the sown crop. Short term some more dips may be there but overallsentiments likely to remain firm however as good demand for Mustard Oil continued. Reportsof crop damage from parts of Rajasthan from recent rains also kept prices firm. Demand rosefurther for Mustard Oil amidst falling stocks ahead of the Festival season. Cool weather ingrowing states keep production prospects good though reports of damage to crop in some areasin Rajasthan from the recent rains supported the market sentiments.

As per Ministry of Agriculture, Rajasthan area coverage in Rabi season 2014-15 till 24December was 26.40 lakh ha vs 29.73 lakh ha in 2013-14. The government has set a target of29 lakh for this year. The fall in area was due to high temperature in Oct and lack of rains.Farmer are reportedly shifting to Barley and Wheat. Crops also faced germination problem dueto the high Temperature.

Haryana area coverage in Rabi 2014-15 till 24 December was reportedly 5.25 lakh ha while itwas 5.47 lakh ha in 2013-14 during this time. The reason is again the high temperature duringOct. MP area coverage in Rabi 2014-15 till 24 December was 6.46 lakh ha while it was 7.87 in2013-14. Due to good rains in Oct and fields being unused, early sowing was possible there. UParea coverage in Rabi 2014-15 till 24 December was 11.42 lakh ha while it was 10.37 lakh ha

Page 11: Commodity report by ways2capital 05 jan 2015

in 2013-14 during this period. As fields this year were unused in kharif season, so farmers hadsown Mustard early in UP.

European Union rapeseed output rose to 22.5 million tons this year from 20.9 million tons,datafrom the 28-nation bloc show. Gains for EU are partly offset by a reduction for Australia wheredry conditions in the southeast have reduced yield prospects. Global sunflowerseed productionis reduced 0.4 million tons to 39.8 million on lower fore-casts for Russia and Kazakhstan.
