From The Desk Of Editor

The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate by a quarter of a point as expected, but investors jumped on what they saw as slightly more dovish language from Chairman Jerome Powell. Recent readings have indicated that inflation is easing, with the Fed also looking at data that will determine the resilience of the labor market and the pace of wage growth. But data showed U.S. job openings unexpectedly rose in December ahead of the Labor Department's comprehensive report on nonfarm payrolls for January due. Separate economic data showed U.S. manufacturing contracted further in January as higher rates stifled demand for goods. China’s service sector showed a rebound in the first month of 2023, according to the Caixin/S&P Global services purchasing managers’ index (PMI). The reading rose to 52.9 in January, above the 50-mark that separates growth from contraction — from the business activity index of 48 seen in December. China is set to make market-oriented changes to the way initial public offerings are approved, as it tries to reset the economy and rebuild investor confidence after a chaotic exit from zero-Covid.

Back at home, domestic markets witnessed a volatile trade despite a growth-oriented budget announced by Finance minister. Actually, the ‘Adani stocks crisis’ has contributed to the negative sentiments. In the recent Budget, Finance minister adopted the seven priorities such as Inclusive Development, Reaching the Last Mile, Infrastructure and Investment, Unleashing the Potential, Green Growth, Youth Power and Financial Sector. It lowered the disinvestment target to INR 51,000 crore in FY2024 and revised disinvestment estimate to INR 50,000 crore from budgeted target of INR 65,000 crore in FY2023. The government has been constantly pushing infrastructure creation and also incentivizing states to step up capex. The government increased the Capital Investment Outlay to Rs.10 Lakh crores, constituting 3.3% of GDP and this will spur the private capex. Robust growth in India's services industry eased last month after touching a six-month high in December, with softening orders spurring caution in companies' business outlooks for the year, a private business survey showed. Going forward, market is likely to track both domestic as well as the international factors.

On the commodity market front, CRB closed in red for second consecutive week due to nervousness prevailed ahead of Fed meeting as it was the main event risk in the week gone by; apart from BoE and ECB meet. Fall in dollar index spurt buying in bullion and MCX gold made new all-time high. In COMEX, gold saw a rally of seven week on fall in dollar index. Gas futures have lost over 20% week-to-date, extending to more than 60% their plunge over the past two months. It can see reversal and can trade in a range of 200-240 levels. OPEC+ agreed to cut its production target by 2 million barrels per day (bpd), about 2% of world demand, from November last year until the end of 2023 to support the market. Market got positive news that Cotton futures will be available for trade 13th Feb onwards with required changes. April, June and August contracts will be available for trading.

OUTLOOK

SPICES

Turmeric NCDEX Apr futures may witness some short term upside recovery due to weaker production outlook in Marathawada and Telangana. Heavy rainfall during starting months of sowing has affected the overall yield adversely in Maharashtra wherein area under turmeric has also been down in year 2023 that will keep overall production down. Arrivals of new crop have already started in Nizamabad as about 2500-3000 bags are coming on daily basis in Nizamabad. Demand has been subdued as quality of new crop is not up to the mark wherein stockists are busy in releasing their old stocks. About 11.9 thousand tonnes of turmeric arrived at major APMC market across India in Jan’23 compared to 13.1 thousand tonnes of previous year for corresponding period. Robust export demand will also support firmness in prices. Turmeric Apr contract is likely to trade in range of 7100-7700 levels.

Jeera NCDEX Mar futures are likely to trade mixed to higher due to limited supply. Stockists are reluctant to release at lower level due to bleak production outlook ahead. In the wake of lower area and yield losses in Gujarat, overall production of jeera may drop 5-10% in upcoming season. Total Jeera production may vary in between 6-7 lakh tonnes as per industry estimates against the 7.25 lakh tonnes of previous year. However, yield and quality has improved in Gujarat and Rajasthan due to sharp fall in temperature in Jan’23 that will result in upward revision in production estimates of Jeera. Jeera prices are likely to trade in range of 29000-34000.

Dhaniya NCDEX Apr prices are likely to trade sideways to down due to higher production outlook for upcoming season. Demand has been subdued as major buyers and spices millers are avoiding bulk buying in wake of commencement of new crop in major mandies. However, reports of crop losses due to excessive cold in Rajasthan is likely to affect the overall production adversely that will cap the excessive losses in prices. Dhaniya NCDEX Apr Prices are likely to trade in range of 7200-8400.

BULLIONS

Gold prices posted positive gains and jumped to nine month high, amid subdued dollar, as investor held onto the view that the U.S. Federal Reserve would soon end its rate hiking cycle after it announced an expected 25-basis point increase. In the last trading session of week prices give up some gains as traders digested rate-hike remarks from global central banks. Gold prices delivering a stellar performance of more than 20% over the past three months, some positioning for softer rate-hike bets could already have been at play and having found the much-needed validation from the recent FOMC meeting. Gold tends to appreciate on expectations of lower interest rates, which reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion. If there are more signs of a slowdown in the U.S. economy and the Fed continues to lower rates, then investor demand for gold & silver will rise. ECB raises key rate by half a percentage point to 2.5%. Bank of England increases rate by half a percentage point to 4% and signals end to automatic rate rises. Central banks added a whopping 1,136 tonnes of gold worth some $70 billion to their stockpiles in 2022, by far the most of any year since 1967. On COMEX Gold price is facing resistance near $1960, buying continue only if prices break above the levels otherwise will see some negative move in the counter till $1860. Silver may also trade in the range of $22.000-24.660. Ahead in the week prices may continue to trade with positive bias but profit booking from higher levels is expected and the possible trading range would be 55500-59800. Silver may trade in the range of 67000-73000.

ENERGY COMPLEX

Crude Oil prices started the Feb month on bearish tone but after the US Federal Reserve rose interest rate by 25 basis points prices jumped but the gains didn’t last long. The Federal Reserve raised its target interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point, yet continued to promise "ongoing increases" in borrowing costs as part of its on-going battle against inflation. Inflation has eased somewhat but remains elevated," the US central bank said in a statement that marked an explicit acknowledgment of the progress made in lowering the pace of price increases from the 40-year highs hit last year. The main reason behind the fall was U.S. government data which showed big builds in crude oil, gasoline and distillate inventories and OPEC and its allies stuck to their output policy. U.S. crude oil and fuel inventories rose last week to their highest levels since June 2021, the Energy Information Administration said, as demand remained weak. Looking ahead in week, Crude oil prices may trade within the range of 5800- 6800 where sell near resistance and buying near support would be strategy. Natural-gas prices have plunged nearly 33% in the first month of year 2023 amid warmer weather reduces demand for the heating fuel, and storage levels remain high. The longer-range weather models started to show signs that cold may finally return in early February. However, that did little to stop the bleeding in the gas market. Natural gas continues to trade with higher volatility where resistance is seen near 280 and support is seen near 180. If 180 is broken with higher volumes then price will find support near 140/100 levels. Sell on rise would be strategy.

BASE METALS

Base metals may trade with bearish bias and soft global demand may weigh on sentiment despite the latest supply disruptions. Citi Research economists believe a softer-than-anticipated China recovery and sustained manufacturing sector weakness outside of China will keep metals demand under pressure. U.S. manufacturing contracted further in January as higher interest rates stifled demand for goods, but factories did not appear to be laying off workers in large numbers. Physical demand in China was quiet as producers held sufficient stocks that they built up before the holidays, and as consumption from end users remained weak amid lowered orders from both domestic and overseas market. Copper may trade in the range of 760-800 levels. Demand shows little sign of improving with Chinese import premiums falling and Shanghai exchange inventories increasing rapidly. However, global supply disruption at many copper mine may support the prices. But the world’s biggest metals consumer still faces problems reinvigorating a moribund property sector and the impact on exports of slower growth in the rest of the world. Zinc can trade in the range of 280-310 levels. China imported 7,900 mt of refined zinc in December 2022, down 31.79% on the month and 23.24% on the year. Lead can move in the range of 180-191 levels. Aluminum may trade in the range of 215-235 levels. The premiums for aluminium shipments to Japanese buyers for January to March were set at $85-$86 a tonne, down 13%- 14% from the previous quarter, reflecting slack demand and high stocks. Steel long (Feb) is likely to trade in the range of 47500-49300 levels on NCDEX. China’s imports and exports are facing an “extremely severe” environment due to rising risks of a global recession and slowing external demand.

OTHER COMMODITIES

Kapas NCDEX Apr prices are expected to trade mixed to higher due to improved demand. Most of the ginners are ruling with tighter inventory due to below normal arrivals of cotton at major trading centers. With no change in the 10% basic customs duty (BCD) on cotton import, cotton prices are likely to be higher in local market that will keep market sentiments up for kapas as well. Reports of delay in harvesting of cotton due to recent rainfall in southern zone are also supporting firmness in prices. In wake of supply tightness in physical market, Indian government has allowed duty-free import of 3 lakh bales of cotton from Australia. Kapas Apr NCDEX prices are likely to trade in range of 1570-1700.

Cotton seed oil cake NCDEX Mar futures are likely to trade mixed to down due to muted demand at physical market. Demand in cattle feed industry has been down wherein most of stockists are going for the hand to mouth buying in wake of increased supplies of mustard. Mustard seed oil cake is used as substitute of cotton seed oil cake in northern part of India. Supplies of cotton seed oil cake is likely to higher as farmers are holding heavy stocks of cotton in anticipation of better price outlook. Prices are likely to trade in range of 2600-2850.

Guar seed Mar futures are expected to keep its gains intact due to emerging milling demand. Millers are active in buying in wake of robust export demand of gum. Arrivals have also dropped at major trading centers that will keep guar seed and gum prices elevated in near term. The demand for guar meal has also improved that will support the firmness in prices in near term. Technically, Guar seed prices will honor the support of 5700 and expected to move up to 6400 in near term. Similarly, Guar gum prices are likely to trade in range of 11500-14000 levels.

Mentha oil Feb contract is likely to trade sideways to higher on improved demand outlook. Export demand of menthol has improved that is likely to support the firmness in prices. Major focus will be on upcoming sowing numbers as sowing is likely to commence in western UP after the harvest of rabi crop. Supplies have been tighter due to offseason period of arrivals. Prices are likely to trade in range of 985-1040.

Castor seed Mar prices are likely to trade down due to improve supplies with advancement of harvesting activities. Sluggish export demand is still a major concern for castor oil traders as domestic stocks are surging up with fall in export. Castor oil export has slumped 16% Y-o-Y to 543.4 thousand tonnes during Jan-Nov’22 due to slowdown in economic activities in China. Going forward, castor seed prices are likely to trade in range of 6700-7300 levels.

WEEKLY COMMENTARY

CRB closed in red for second consecutive week due to nervousness prevailed ahead of Fed meeting as it was the main event risk in the week gone by apart from BoE and ECB meet. Fall in dollar index spurt buying in bullion and MCX gold made new all-time high. In COMEX, gold saw a rally of seven week on fall in dollar index. Fed increased the interest rate by 25basis points but Fed Chair Jerome Powell also said that inflation still remained elevated in the country, and that he was unsure over how much further the bank would need to hike rates in order to cool price pressures. Central bank also expressed uncertainty over where interest rates will peak. This drove up expectations for a pause in the Fed’s interest rate hikes by mid-2023 and a potential reduction in interest rates by the end of the year as U.S. economic growth cools. Such a scenario is likely to be positive for gold. Back at home, gold and silver import became costlier in India. India raised total taxes on silver imports 15% and on silver dore to 14.35, in an effort to align the duty structure of the metal with gold. The import duty on articles made of precious metals was increased to 25% from 22%. Silver crossed 71500 in reaction and whereas gold made a new high of 58826. In energy counter, both crude oil and natural gas futures traded weak; but the fall was intense in natural gas, which was trading near 200 levels. Oil prices rebounded from the low on Thursday after tumbling in the previous session as a weaker dollar brought back some appetite for risk assets and the OPEC+ decision to roll over an output cut helped ease oversupply concerns. OPEC+ agreed to cut its production target by 2 million barrels per day (bpd), about 2% of world demand, from November last year until the end of 2023 to support the market. Overall it closed in red on weekly basis as the market looked for more signs of a strong recovery in fuel demand in China to offset looming slumps in other major economies. In base metals, copper and aluminum were in range with marginal upside bias whereas lead and zinc prices traded under pressure. Mix economic data amid fall in dollar index created ambiguity in this counter. Steel prices witnessed sharp fall.

On agri front, market got positive news that Cotton futures will be available for trade 13th Feb onwards with required changes. April, June and August contracts will be available for trading. Cotton Oil seed cake futures saw further fall. Mentha recovered from the low. Castor seed was in a range. Guar saw lower level buying after two week fall. Gain came as speculators increased their holdings amid a firm spot demand. In spices, dhaniya and turmeric witnessed fall whereas jeera recovered. The rise in prices came amid apprehensions of low production in the wake of a drop in the sowing area and low production due to adverse weather. On the other hand, the previous season’s carry-forward stock is not that big.

Central Bank’s gold buying… “Most trusted assets for reserves”

Gold has been an essential component in the financial reserves of nations for centuries, and its demand is showing a paradigm shift in attitudes to gold since the 1990s and 2000s, when central banks, particularly those in Western Europe that own a lot of bullion, sold hundreds of tonnes a year. Since the financial crisis of 2008-09, European banks stopped selling and a growing number of emerging economies such as Russia, Turkey and India are buying the gold. Central bank purchases are highlighting the fact that gold remains a very important asset in the monetary system.

Love affair of global central banks with gold is amazing

Gold demand soared to an 11-year high in 2022 on the back of “colossal central bank purchases, aided by vigorous retail investor buying,” according to the World Gold Council. The central bank purchases took total gold global gold demand last year to 4,741 tonnes, up 18% from 2021.

Central banks added a whopping 1,136 tonnes of gold worth some $70 billion to their stockpiles in 2022, by far the most of any year since 1967. 2022 was not only the thirteenth consecutive year of net purchases by central banks, but also the second highest level of annual demand on record back to 1950, boosted by 400t ton demand in both Q3 and Q4,” the WGC said.

The Central Bank of Turkey bought the most gold out of all central banks in 2022 as it searched for protection against unchecked inflation. Turkey's official gold reserves rose by 148 tonnes to 542 tonnes, marking the highest level on record. The People's Bank of China (PBoC) resumed gold buying for the first time since 2019 by adding 62 tonnes in November and December and lifting its total gold reserves to over 2,000 tonnes for the first time. Countries in the Middle East also stepped up buying, with Egypt purchasing 47 tonnes, Qatar 35 tonnes, Iraq 34 tonnes, United Arab Emirates 25 tonnes, and Oman two tonnes. In Central Asia, Uzbekistan added 34 tonnes to its gold reserves in 2022, followed by the Kyrgyz Republic with six tonnes and Tajikistan with four tonnes. India bought 33 tonnes in 2022, which was 57% lower than the previous year.

Despite the strong interest in gold, there was some selling. Kazakhstan was the largest seller, reducing its gold holdings by 51 tonnes. Germany sold four tonnes because of its ongoing coin-minting programme. Sri Lanka reduced its holdings by three tonnes, followed by Poland, the Philippines, and Mongolia, each selling two tonnes. Other sellers of at least one tonne were Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, and Bhutan. Russia announced that would resume its gold purchases from domestic producers last year. But there was no update provided since the central bank sold three tonnes of gold in January of 2022.

Why Central-Bank Gold Buying Picked Up

  • Geopolitical uncertainty and high inflation were highlighted as key reasons for holding gold.
  • As gold carries no credit or counterparty risks, it serves as a source of trust in a country, and in all economic environments, making it one of the most crucial reserve assets worldwide, alongside government bonds.
  • Considering the uncertainty like volatility or a correction in the stock market as well as dollar, central bankers are adding gold to their reserves as a hedge as they don’t want to be caught unawares like they were in 2008.

The Indian rupee hit three week low at 82.25 per US Dollar. Adani saga is the key driver for the rupee to push below 82.00/$. FIIs continued to remain on the sell side after January recorded nearly $3.5 billion in capital outflows from Indian markets. At the same, Dollar is regaining its strength after ECB & BoE didn't deliver a hawkish monetary policy. Both the euro & pound are on the back foot against the dollar. As the rout in the Adani group may continue and gradually the rupee market will turn focus on next week's RBI policy outcome where MPC is set to deliver a quarter basis-points hike. Investors welcomed fiscal responsibility presented in the Union Budget for the 2023-24 financial years. The government pursues to borrow INR 15.43 trillion in the period through the sale of bonds, below broad estimates of INR 16 trillion. The plans outlined in the document aim for a fiscal deficit of 5.9% of GDP, narrowing from the target of 6.4% this year. Still, the officials expect public capital expenditure to rise 33% to INR 10 trillion, limiting the decline in bond yields. On the monetary policy front, easing inflation ramped up hopes that the RBI is close to pausing its tightening cycle after a 25bps increase in February, which would add to 250bps of rate hikes since May 2022.

Digit Insurance to revamp $440 mln IPO again after regulator concerns

Digit Insurance will refile papers for its $440 million initial public offering (IPO) after India's market regulator raised certain compliance issues with employee stock plans in a private letter. It is the second such setback for Digit's listing ambitions. The company, last valued at $3.5 billion by Sequoia Capital, provides general insurance services and is backed by investors such as Canadian billionaire Prem Watsa. In September, the market regulator froze Digit's IPO proposal because of certain compliance issues related to share issuances, but later restarted the review. In a Jan. 30 letter issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) seen by Reuters, the regulator said it was returning Digit's IPO papers because the company did not comply with regulations by issuing so-called Stock Appreciation Rights to employees. Digit, founded in 2017 and also backed by Indian investment firm TVS Capital Funds among others, is trying to expand in general insurance. Separately, it is moving into the life insurance market with its Go Digit Life venture.
