MAJOR EVENTS

Silver continues to be a worst performer among precious metals in 2013 after having

fallen sharply by 31% in Q2 but partly offset by 11% gains in Q3, 2013. Silver has

benefitted from the rise in gold prices and mixed trend in industrial.

Silver prices which fell 29% till Q3 will continue to face challenges but will be

increasingly determined by movement of gold prices. Restrictions on gold imports will

continue to positively impact gold. Silver has a correlation of 0.98 with gold and 0.94

with base metals. The major challenges for silver comes from increased production in

recent years and rising scrap supply which will keep the overall market oversupplied.

Some suggest that if silver prices remain below $20, it is highly likely that more

primary silver miners will be forced to put their high cost mines on care and

maintenance until prices recover. Bearishness in gold prices could also hurt silver

although sharp correction in silver prices could boost its demand. As per early market

estimates, global fabrication demand for silver will remain stable as global economy

improves slowly. Mine production is likely to grow further as price remains well above

historical levels and as higher production of base metals may increase by-product

output.

It's bear party in Oil complex but doubtful analysts are quite neutral on this volatile

and complex commodity that is much in demand worldwide.

One major reason for the bearish trend that pushed WTI crude Oil futures December

contract to $96.16 low was the surge in oil inventories in USA. The Energy

Information Administration (EIA) had reported crude stock piles rose 5.2 mnb barrels

for the week ended October 18. MCX crude oil futures for November delivery was

seen trading down by 0.10% at Rs. 6020 per barrel as of 11:20 PM IST on Thursday.

INR also appreciated by 0.35% against USD this morning which also affect crude

prices in negative way.

Meanwhile WTI Crude Oil has advanced to 97.47 after hitting a low of $96.16 as the

latest HSBC China PMI data showed manufacturing index rose to 50.9 in October.

China is the second biggest oil consumer. China will account for about 11 percent of

global oil demand this year, compared with 21 percent for the U.S., according to

forecasts from the International Energy Agency.

World refined

Copper

production to

rise 3.9% in 2013.

World refined copper production in 2013 is expected to increase by 3.9% compared to

2012 as constrained production from maintenance and temporary operational

shutdowns in some regions is overshadowed by expanded output in other regions,

according to International Copper Study Group (ICSG).

In 2014, refined copper production is expected to grow by around 5.5% to 22.1 Mt

with the restoration of production at existing plants and new and expanded capacity

at electrolytic plants in China, and to a lesser extent SX-EW plants in Africa. Primary

refined copper production is expected to grow by about 7% and secondary production

by 2%.

ICSG expects world apparent refined demand in 2013 to remain unchanged from that

in 2012 (20.5 Mt). Although real demand for copper in China is expected to increase by

about 6% in 2013, apparent demand in China (that is uncorrected for unreported stock

changes) is expected to decrease in 2013 as a result of much lower refined imports.

Usage in the rest of the world is expected to increase by around 1%. With better

prospects for the world economy in 2014, world usage is expected to grow by around

4.5% in 2014 with world-ex-China expected to grow by 2.5%.

support for it.
