In n the week gone by, global stock markets remained weak due to weak economic I data coming out from US and other countries. Actually, the weak data has fueled fears of a slow and prolonged economic recovery across the globe. US imports jumped nearly 11 percent in July, driving the trade gap up to $63.6 billion in the month. Although American exports also rose in July, it was far less than imports, contributing to the $10.1 billion jump in the overall deficit -- nearly 19 percent higher than June, according to the report. US Budget deficit to hit record $3.3 trillion due to coronavirus, recession. Recent data has showed that the Japanese economy has shrunk at its fastest rate on record as it battles the coronavirus pandemic. Activity in Japan’s services sector contracted at a faster pace in August for the first time in four months, as uncertainty from the coronavirus pandemic weighed on sentiment, hurting business at home and from abroad.
Back at home, stock market also remained weak following weak global cues after tech sell-off pulled US markets lower amid tension on India-China border and valuation concerns. India’s Gross Domestic Product growth rate had contracted by 23.9% for the April to June quarter. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has asked banks and NBFCs to roll out loan restructuring scheme for COVID-19 related stress by September 15 and provide adequate support to the borrowers following the lifting of moratorium on repayment of debts. The recent data showed that India’s Gross Domestic Product growth rate had contracted by 23.9% for the April to June quarter. On the flip side, easing of lockdown and resumption of economic activities resulted in a rise in two-wheeler sales as three of the top six manufacturers, which control 96 percent of the domestic market, reported an increase in demand. India services PMI for the month of August came improved to 41.8 in August from 34.2 in July thus signaling an improvement in the services sector. Even activity in the country’s manufacturing sector rebounded in August after four months of contraction, led by an increase in new orders. Going ahead, the market may look forward for more positive signs of economic recovery and would track the development around US stimulus announcement. Investors will also continue to track India-China border tensions and global markets for cues.
On the commodity market front, with correction in bullion and energy and some pause in the rally of base metals, CRB took little downside and traded near 150 levels. Better than expected manufacturing data of China which improved for continuous fourth month couldn’t give much support to the industrial metals and energy prices; nevertheless it erased some of the risk premium form bullion counter. Bullion counter may recover from the lower side and gold and silver should trade in range of 49000- 52000 and 65000-69000 respectively.

Turmeric futures (October) may continue to witness correction towards 5800, facing resistance near 6200. On the spot, the stockiests after inspecting the samples are buying limited stock for their requirement without quoting increased price. Whereas, the traders though not receiving fresh upcountry demand, are buying a reasonable number of turmeric bags for their local demand from the masala firms and turmeric powder grinding units.

The spot prices have started to weaken because Gujarat and Rajasthan, the main jeera growing areas of India, received heavy rainfall, which is expected to boost production and supply of the commodity as farmers expand the area under cultivation.

Bullion counter has been dipped as the dollar rebounded after robust U.S. manufacturing data bolstered hopes of a swift global economic recovery, rubbing some of the allure off safe-haven bullion. The broader picture is still in favour of gold, as the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks are likely to stay accommodative for an extended period of time. The dollar index bounced off two-year lows after U.S. data showed manufacturing activity accelerated to a near two-year high in August. Stronger greenback makes gold expensive for holders of other currencies. The firm manufacturing activity also boosted investor appetite for riskier assets, limiting inflows into safehaven bullion. However, expectations that U.S. interest rates would stay low for longer under the new monetary policy approach from the Fed put a floor under bullion prices. Fed Governor Lael Brainard said the U.S. central bank would need to roll out more stimulus to fulfil its new promise of stronger job growth and higher inflation. The U.S. central bank last week announced an average inflation target policy, which will allow rates to stay low even if inflation rises a bit in the future. However, besides other strong fundamentals like weak economy and lower interest rates, Australian and U.S. mints reporting very high demand for gold coins will take gold above $2,000 in the long run. For the next week, gold may trade in the range of 48200-52600 and Silver may trade in the range of 60200-70400. Whereas on COMEX gold may trade in the range of $1850-$1990 and Silver may trade in the range of $23.00- $29.60.
Soybean futures (October) is expected to consolidate in the range of 3800- 4100 levels. According to SOPA, there is no fresh damage reported from other parts of the State. The demand side is weak as the country has about 10 lakh tonnes of carry over stock, and exports happening at such higher domestic prices. On CBOT, soybean futures is moving on a strong path, thanks to healthy demand from China and also concern about a possible downgrade to U.S. yields in the next USDA report. The USDA will update its U.S. harvest forecasts in a monthly supply and demand report on Sept. 11. The bull-run shall persist in mustard futures (October) as it has the potential to test 5600-5700 levels. Amidst weak availability and hike in mustard seeds prices by the NAFED, mustard seeds also quoting higher on the spot markets. Millers are trying to buy and hold stock of maximum quantity. Also, the stockiest and farmers are also holding the oil to gain higher profit by selling later. Soy oil (October) may trade sideways to up in the range of 870-910. Amidst scattered buying support, reports of damage to soybean crops on account of pest infection and excessive rains in Madhya Pradesh, soy oil has been ruling higher in Indore. CPO (Sept) is expected to trade on a cautious note in the range of 750-780. The market participants would be watchful ahead of the data from Malaysia Palm oil Board. It is estimated that Malaysia's palm oil stockpile in August is forecast to rise 6% from July as production grew 6% on-month and exports may witness a slump in days to come.
Crude Oil prices on track for biggest weekly drop since June, as lacklustre demand and ample fuel supplies offset support from a weaker dollar. The volume of crude arriving in China, the world’s largest crude importer, is set to slow in September after rising for five straight months as its refiners gradually digest bloated inventories. Production cuts led U.S. gasoline inventories to fall at a “manic” pace in the past two months. WTI crude has come under pressure “after U.S. refiners earmarked a long list of maintenance closures over the coming months that will no doubt impact demand for crude oil. Due to shutdowns ahead of Hurricane Laura, U.S. refinery utilization rates fell by 5.3 percentage points to 76.7% of total capacity, the EIA said. On Nymex week ahead it is expected that Crude oil may post further correction where support is seen near $35.40 and resistance is seen near $46.00. For next week we may witness correction in crude oil where it may take support near 2720 and face resistance near 3380. U.S. natural gas has completed the correction on the short term. Some of the cooler-than-normal weather after heavy rains from Laura turned a bit warmer, providing support to the market. The reaction to the EIA report suggests traders read the numbers as neutral. However, the 35 Bcf build marks the second week that it was lower than the week before and this indicates that supply and demand is tightening. This could be enough to send prices higher into the close if traders decide to ignore warnings about LNG demand. For next week Natural gas may trade within the wider range of 170-210.
The correction in cotton futures (Oct) may deepen to 17300-17200, facing resistance near 17900.

Secondly, after a suspension for a week, Cotton Corporation of India has resumed its auctions under new terms and conditions, to keep a check on hoarding practices. Chana futures (October) will probably continue to enjoy its bull-run and trade in the range of 4850-5100. The recent news of Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) restricting imported consignments of yellow and white peas lying on western ports of the country may have a positive impact on the bouquet of pulses. Earlier, it was said that the consignments of peas can be released with penalty. But DGFT informed custom department that the imported pulse cannot be released right now. Such release will be contradictory to the government’s existing policy. On spot markets, most of the pulse seeds in Indore are witnessing an uptrend on weak availability. Guar seed futures (Oct) may trade with a bearish bias in the range of 3800-4100, while guar gum futures (Oct) may trade sideways to down in the range of 6000-6600. According to traders, guar gum demand from crude oil sector is almost absent. Only food sector demand from US market is giving little support which is not being enough to support the prices. On the spot, the quotes of Churi and Korma are also showing signs of weakness as demand from cattle feed manufacturers weakened. According to the traders, guar sowing area is estimated to come down from last year’s acreage. However, recent rain may improve prospects for better crop. Sowing activities almost concluded but the rain can improve productivity
Base metal may trade in range as weaker greenback, declining stocks in LME, and recovery of manufacturing activities in major countries may support the prices while recovery in the production of metals with smooth supply and geopolitical tension may pressurise the counter.

The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) is an index of the prevailing direction of economic trends in the manufacturing and service sectors. The purpose of the PMI is to provide information about current and future business conditions to company decision makers, analysts, and investors.
India’s Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for August has come in at 52, compared to 46 in July, signalling growth and rebound in production volumes for the first time in five months. In April, the index had slipped into contraction mode, after remaining in the growth territory for 32 consecutive months. The headline PMI is a number from 0 to 100. APMI above 50 represents an expansion when compared with the previous month. A PMI reading under 50 represents a contraction, and a reading at 50 indicates no change.
For the first time since March, output expanded in the Indian manufacturing sector in August. Production growth was largely driven by greater client demand for Indian goods following the resumption of business operations after lockdown restrictions eased amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The factory output and new orders expanded at the fastest paces since February – recording a 21-month high.
Higher levels of production supported a modest rise in the quantity of purchases during August, but the limited availability of goods, which onset a further reduction in stocks of purchases, has extended the current rate of depletion to five months. Supply chains were disrupted for a sixth consecutive month, with transportation restrictions, supplier delays and capacity pressures as the main drivers of lengthening delivery times.
The muted performance by the services sector indicated a challenging road to recovery after the economy contracted nearly a quarter in April-June. India's first quarter GDP has contracted by a massive 23.9 per cent, owing to coronavirusinduced lockdown.
A composite index, which measures both services and factory activity, improved to 46.0 in August from July's 37.2, cushioned by a better manufacturing performance. However, it remained well below the neutral 50.0 level.
China's manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) decreased to 51 in August from 51.1 in July while US manufacturing sector expanded at a stronger pace in August than it did in July with the ISM's Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) climbing from 54.2 in July to 56. Higher PMI of major countries like US, China and India are raising hope for economic recovery hit by covid-19 and thus boost the demand and prices of base metal and energy.
The volatility in FX space has raised substantially amid various changes in monetary policy stances by major central bankers. Recent move by RBI over forward looking comfort for the rupee appreciation to reduce imported inflation triggered bulk shifts in USD/INR positions this week. However due to oversold situation in dollar globally and expected domestic buying in dollar from importers side may pause the slide in USDINR to some extent. Meanwhile euro once again failed to surpass 1.20 levels against dollar last week. The August inflation print went below zero for the first time since 2016 which was the broad reason for euro to slide. Additionally many euro zone policymakers’ raises concerns over rising euro which somehow pushes negative sentiment in euro as we also kept pointing to remain cautious. On upcoming Thursday, ECB monetary policy will be key for euro move. While Sterling hits the highest level in this year against dollar globally and also in rupee terms. The UK's impressive economic data in helped pound so far. Going forward the move now will depend on Brexit talks which will start from mid - September onwards. Next week we have light economic calendar from UK, so a broad dollar move will guide the pound on relative terms.
