MCX Gold Apr 2019
Gold prices rose as the dollar weakened after the European Commission accepted amendments to the UK’s Brexit deal.
Gold on MCX settled up 0.33% at 32000 as the dollar weakened after the
European Commission accepted amendments to the UK’s Brexit deal,
although gains were limited as the agreement also buoyed sentiment for
riskier assets. European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker agreed an
updated Brexit deal with British Prime Minister Theresa May to make the
agreement more palatable to UK lawmakers. The updated Brexit deal
boosted Asian shares ahead of a vote in the British parliament on a
divorce agreement. Gold also found some support from increasing
concerns about global growth. U.S. retail sales rose modestly in January,
but the recovery was not seen strong enough to alter the course of a U.S.
economy that was losing momentum in early 2019. German industrial
production declined in January, missing forecasts, and exports were flat,
a sign that Europe's largest economy continues to flounder. The German
Federal Statistical Office, Destatis, said that total industrial output,
including output in manufacturing, energy and construction, declined
0.8% from December. Reflecting the trend, Destatis said that German
exports were flat in December compared with November, whereas
imports rose 1.5%.Germany's adjusted trade surplus, which is the
balance of exports and imports of goods, narrowed to €18.5 billion ($20.8
billion) from €19.9 billion in December last year. US retail sales rose
0.2% in January, while the December reading of -1.2% was revised to -
1.6%. Technically market is under short covering as market has
witnessed drop in open interest by -9.42% to settled at 9251 while prices
up 104 rupees, now Gold is getting support at 31899 and below same
could see a test of 31798 level, And resistance is now likely to be seen at
32072, a move above could see prices testing 32144.

MCX Crudeoil Mar 2019
Crude oil gained as OPEC's de facto leader Saudi Arabia appeared to deepen the group's supply cuts aimed at tightening markets
Crudeoil on MCX settled up 0.08% at 3970 as OPEC's de facto leader
Saudi Arabia appeared to deepen the group's supply cuts aimed at
tightening markets, although gains were capped by the ongoing surge in
U.S. supply and worries over the global economy. Oil prices have been
receiving broad support this year from supply cuts by the Organization of
the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-affiliated allies like
Russia aimed at tightening markets. Saudi Arabia plans to cut its crude oil
exports in April to below 7 million barrels per day (bpd), while keeping its
output "well below" 10 million bpd, a Saudi official said . Traders also
pointed to the political and economic crisis in OPEC-member Venezuela as
a driver for oil prices. Offsetting OPEC efforts to prop up prices and the
impact of disruptions like Venezuela is a surge in U.S. oil supply. The
United States will drive global oil supply growth over the next five years,
adding another 4 million bpd to the country's already booming output, the
International Energy Agency said. U.S. crude oil output will rise nearly 2.8
million bpd, growing to 13.7 million bpd in 2024 from an average of just
under 11 million bpd in 2018, the IEA said, making the United States by
far the biggest oil producer in the world. With U.S. production booming,
the country needs to import less and is increasingly turning abroad to sell
surplus oil. Technically market is under fresh buying as market has
witnessed gain in open interest by 3.21% to settled at 9155 while prices
up 3 rupees, now Crude Oil is getting support at 3944 and below same

the increase and gained 3.23%.While nickel, aluminium grew over 1%,
copper went up 0.61%, and lead nudged up as the dollar weakened and

assets. The US dollar weakened after progress in Brexit negotiations
between the European Union and Britain, and this provided short-term
support to prices. From the data point US consumer prices rose for the
first time in four months in February, but the pace of the increase was
modest, resulting in the smallest annual gain in nearly two and a half
years. The Labor Department said on Tuesday that its CPI increased 0.2%
in February, lifted by gains in the costs of food, gasoline and rents. Now a
day ahead the US will release data on its PPI for February, durable goods
orders for January, and its weekly crude inventory data from the EIA.

from consuming industries at the domestic spot market. However, upside

pockets of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in recent days, but also in Madhya
Pradesh. Mentha sowing may witness a huge jump this year because of
high returns farmers experienced the whole of last year. Production of
mentha oil is expected to rise to 48,000-50,000 tn in 2019 from 33,000-
35,000 tn last year. This year, sowing of the crop started towards the end
of last month, a couple of weeks later than usual due to extended cold
weather in all major growing regions. Official data on mentha, with

China plans to lower its GDP growth target to a range of between 6% to 6.5%, Premier Li Keqiang said in his annual work report delivered early into the annual meeting
of the National People’s Congress. The lower end of the growth target would represent the slowest pace of economic growth in nearly three decades, according to
Bloomberg. Unlike other years, authorities in Beijing are giving themselves a band for the growth target, as opposed to a specific number, which could give them more
flexibility. Chinese authorities also announced tax breaks, most notably a 3% cut to the top bracket of the value-added tax (VAT) in order to support the manufacturing
sector. Other target economic figures for 2019 announced by Beijing include consumer price index (CPI) growth of 3% and a budget deficit of 2.8% of GDP.
Bank of Japan board member Yutaka Harada said the central bank must ramp up stimulus without delay if risks to the economy threaten achievement of its inflation
target. Harada, a vocal advocate of aggressive monetary easing, said Japan’s economy was facing growing risks, including from slowing demand in China, simmering
trade tensions, volatile stock price moves and weak private consumption. Subdued inflation could heighten views among the public that prices won’t rise much and delay
achievement of the BOJ’s 2 percent inflation target, he added. “If the economy deteriorates to the extent that achieving the inflation target in the long term becomes
difficult, it’s necessary to strengthen monetary easing without delay,” Harada said in a speech to business leaders in Kofu, eastern Japan. A scheduled sales tax hike in
October could also hurt the economy and push down prices by weakening demand, he said. The BOJ faces a dilemma. Years of heavy money printing have dried up
market liquidity and hurt commercial banks’ profits, stoking concern over the rising risks of prolonged easing. And yet, subdued inflation has left the BOJ well behind its
U.S. and European counterparts in dialling back its crisis-mode policies, leaving it with little ammunition to battle any abrupt yen spike that could derail an export-driven
economic recovery.
The total area under castor in India for 2018-19 is estimated to be 7,69,570 hectare as per the government’s forecast against 2017-18 estimate of 8,21,600 hectare,
which has decreased by 7% compared to the previous year. The total production of castor crop in India in 2018-19 is estimated to be down by 20% to 11.26 lakh tonne
in 2018-19 from 14.16 lakh tonne estimated in 2017-18, says a survey conducted by the Solvent Extractors Association (SEA). The area and yield have declined mainly
due to inadequate monsoons, according to the survey. The total area under castor in India for 2018-19 is estimated to be 7,69,570 hectare as per the government’s
forecast against 2017-18 estimate of 8,21,600 hectare, which has decreased by 7% compared to the previous year, it revealed.Acreage has been reported to have
declined in Gujarat, the largest growing state, but it is expected to be almost flat in Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh/Telangana. The average yield for 2018-19 is estimated
slightly down, -12.6%, to 1,520 kg per hectare compared to 1,740 kg per hectare, based on farmers’ response about their yield expectation on present crop conditions,
the survey said. SEA conducts castor survey for crop estimation in major growing states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana every year. Total area
under castor in Gujarat for 2018-19 is taken to be 5,33,800 hectare as per the government’s estimates, against last year’s estimate of 5,91,000 hectare, which has
declined by about 10% as compared to the previous year.
