On the commodities front, Greece debt crises along with movement of dollar index
and performance of key economic indicators will continue to give direction to the
bullion counter. The minutes from the Fed's January meeting showed that some
officials thought that raising rates too soon could weigh on the U.S. economic
recovery, and that deterioration in the global economic outlook could also pose a
threat to the recovery. Meanwhile, spurt in the geopolitical tensions in Libya may
give support to the crude oil. Weather concerns may keep the natural gas prices on
volatile path. Some short covering activities can be seen in the base metal counter

SPICES
BULLIONS
Turmeric futures (Apr) may continue to trade on a bullish note & test 9300
levels. However, a profit booking at higher levels cannot be ruled out.
Fundamentally, the underlying sentiments are firm as demand for the yellow
spice is rising at the spot markets. The stockist are showing keen interest in
new crop as there are expectations that the upcountry exporters will soon get
fresh orders from North India. Moreover, higher export demand from overseas
countries is expected to continue for Indian turmeric due to its high curcumin
content. The supply side fundamentals are citing that the pace of arrivals
from the fresh crop will pick up from March as the harvesting is under
process. Jeera futures (Mar) is likely to gain for the second consecutive week
& trade in the range of 14800-15800 levels. This season the production is
projected to be lower more than 20% as farmers shifted to other
remunerative crops amid poor yield on bad weather. The current year
production may be around 2,64,000 MT as compared to the last year 3,41,000
MT. Cardamom futures (Mar) is likely to consolidate in the range of 1095-1140
levels. In the current scenario, the stockiest are reportedly liquidating their
stocks. Secondly, over 60% of the harvesting is over and hence, arrival of good
quality material has declined. The bearish trend in Coriander futures (Apr) is
likely to prevail & the counter may test 6400-6300 levels owing to higher
output. Coriander production this year is expected at 2-2.5 crore bags (40kg
each), more than four times as compared to last year. The new crop has
started arriving in domestic market with higher moisture content.
Gold can trade on weaker path but some short covering can be seen after the
recent fall. Greece debt crises, movement of greenback and performance of
key economic releases may give direction to the prices. Gold can move in the
range of 25600-27500 while silver can move in the range of 35000-39000.
Recently Federal Reserve's last meeting showed some policy makers argued
for keeping interest rates near record lows for longer time. Many officials
pointed to risks ranging from a stronger dollar to turmoil in Greece as
weakening the case for the first rate increase since 2006, a record of the Jan.
27-28 meeting showed. Gold imports to top consumer India are set to jump in
coming months after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) eased gold import curbs,
ahead of an expected cut in import duty in this week's budget. The Reserve
Bank of India recently eased gold import norms in a move that could increase
gold supply, nominated banks have been allowed to import gold on
"consignment basis" and lend it to local jewellers. RBI removed ban on imports
of gold coins and medallions. Under this system, banks source or borrow gold
from international bullion banks and lend the yellow metal to domestic
jewellers. The borrowing and the lending rates are fixed simultaneously. It not
only enables banks to earn good margin, but also ensures supply to the
domestic market. Annual central bank gold demand was up 17% to 477tonnes.
This was particularly evident in the last quarter of 2014, when demand was up
40% year on year to 119 tonnes.
OIL AND OILSEEDS
Soybean futures (Apr) is expected to consolidate in the range of 3340-3480
levels & trade with a downside bias due to lack of fresh cues of demand from
the domestic as well as international markets. The counter is reeling under
global supply pressure and facing weak export demand for soy meal. In recent
days, the solvent extractors have been severely affected by soybean crushing
disparity. The negative crush margin continues to be a discouraging for the
soybean crushers. U.S soybean futures may trade sideways with upside
getting capped amid optimism over crop prospects in Brazil and Argentina. As
cited by the Rosario Grains Exchange, Argentina will produce a record 58
million tonnes of soybeans in the 2014-15 & Brazil's soybean crop is now being
estimated at 94.6 million tonnes. Mustard futures (Apr) would possibly
consolidate in the range of 3300-3450 levels, with downside getting capped
supported by reports of lower production. As cited in the 2nd advance
estimates of production by the Ministry of Agriculture, India is set to harvest
7.36 million tonnes of rapeseed in 2014-15, lower by 7.54% as compared to
2013-14. CPO futures (Apr) would possibly remain firm in the range of 460-485
levels on good demand from stockist and retailers as well as seasonal offtake.
On the international market, the fundamentals highlight that Indonesian
crude palm oil output is estimated to have fallen around 5% in January from
December 2014, hit by wet weather in key growing regions & Malaysia's
January palm oil end-stocks probably dropped to their lowest level in six
months after flooding in the Borneo region coupled with low yields reduced
output to the lowest level since February 2011.
ENERGY COMPLEX
Crude oil may trade on volatile path as on the one hand decline in oil rig count
and geopolitical tensions are supporting the prices while on the other hand
supply glut scenario is keeping the upside capped. In recent weeks crude has
dropped on EIA reports of inventory builds, then got support after firm Baker
Hughes showed the number of U.S. rigs drilling for oil at three-year lows.
Crude oil can move in the range of $47-$58 in NYMEX and 3000-3400 in MCX.
U.S. commercial crude oil inventories rose by 7.7 million to a record 425.64
million barrels in the week ended Feb. 13, said the U.S. Energy Information
Administration. The build was the biggest weekly addition in barrels since
records began in 1982, exceeding analysts' expectations of a 3.2 million
barrel rise. Crude stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma, and delivery hub rose
3.66 million to 46.26 million barrels, the EIA data showed. At the same time,
production from the world's biggest exporter Saudi Arabia may be increasing
to near 10 million barrels per day. Natural gas prices may trade on volatile
path as US weather conditions will keep the sentiment mixed. Overall it can
move in the range of 155-188 in MCX. The weather may be colder than normal
in the Northeast and Midwest from Feb. 24 through March 5, according to WSI
Corp. in Andover, Massachusetts. New York temperatures may slide to 11
degrees Fahrenheit on Feb. 26, 20 below normal, according to AccuWeather
in State College, Pennsylvania.
OTHER COMMODITIES
The downtrend in barley futures (Apr) is likely to get extended towards 1100
levels as this season the acreage has increase over the normal area under
cultivation. It is estimated that the total production of barley in the current
year is likely to surge by 18% from the last year to reach 21.50 lakh tonnes as
against 18 lakh tons. This is mainly on the account of strong sowing acreage
coupled with better crop conditions in major producing states. Wheat futures
(Mar) may fall further facing resistance near 1625 levels owing to expanding
domestic inventories and widening a global grain glut. This season the output
is estimated at 95.8 million metric tonnes in 2014-15, compared with an alltime high of 95.9 million tons a year earlier as cited by the Agriculture
Ministry. Secondly, it is reported that the government had no immediate plans
to export wheat from overflowing warehouses but could sell locally. Chana
futures (Apr) is expected to maintain the bullish momentum & test 3730-3800
levels in days to come supported by reports of lower production & delayed
arrivals this season. As cited in the 2nd advance estimates of production by
the Ministry of Agriculture, production of pulses estimated at 18.43 million
tonnes is lower by 1.35 million tonnes than the last year. Sugar futures (Mar) is
expected to consolidate in the range of 2640-2740 levels as the gains may
remain capped due to supply pressure. During this season, till 15th February,
2015 about 167.08 lakh tonnes of sugar has been produced as compared to
145.28 lakh tonnes in the same time during corresponding period. Giving a ray
of hope, the Cabinet approved a higher subsidy of `4,000 a tonne for exports
of raw sugar, a decision that could support local prices by reducing excess
supplies as India stares at a glut in production.
BASE METALS
Base metals counter is expected to trade sideways with some short covering
can be seen in aluminum and zinc. Copper may move in the range of 348-370.
Copper prices have recovered around 8 percent since hitting the 5-1/2 year
low in January, but the metal used in power and construction has still fallen
some 9 percent so far this year. Copper has been stuck in a $5,300 to $5,800
trading band for the past month and traders expect little to change until postholiday trade revives in China as markets in China will reopen on Feb. 25.
Trading companies operating in Shanghai's free trade zone are likely to cut
back on using copper imports as a financing tool as they are now allowed to
borrow from overseas banks more freely. The reduction would further hit
China's imports of copper, which dropped off after Chinese banks tightened
credit in the second half of last year amid probes of an alleged metal financing
scam. More than 50 percent of China's refined copper imports in 2012-2013
were linked to financing deals. While Zinc moved in the range of 127-134.
Meanwhile lead can move in the range of 108-115 in MCX .Aluminum may
move in the range of 110-115 in MCX. Aluminium stocks held at three major
Japanese ports climbed for a tenth month to hit a record high at the end of
January, as robust imports met tepid domestic demand. Spot premiums have
been below $425 per tonne in Japan due to higher inventories and as some
Japanese companies want to cut their stocks by March 31.Nickel prices may
trade in the range of 830-930.

WEEKLY COMMENTARY
•
TheLondon Bullion Market Association announced that
it is set to launch the new the LBMA Gold Price on March
20 as the new pricing mechanism will replace the 96year old London Gold Fix.
In the bullion counter, both gold and silver moved down as a rise in the dollar index and lack of
safe haven demand kept the prices under pressure. Gold went below 26200 while silver tested
36100 in MCX. Confusion over Greece's debt negotiations with its European lenders dominated
the markets. Financial markets had been under pressure as euro zone finance ministers were
unable to agree with Greece a final statement or a way to continue talks until their next
meeting on Monday to extend an international bailout. Recently, some officials in the FED
advised to go slow in interest rates front and indirectly putting pressure on the Dollar Index.
Good volatility was seen in Crude last week with inventory numbers from private sector major
API depicting a huge rise by around 15 million barrels in crude stocks. In base metals counter all
base metals plunged sharply lower except copper, which managed remain flat. Chinese funds
helped drive a rout on copper markets last month that sent prices spiraling down to the lowest
levels in 5-1/2 years amid worries about a slowing Chinese economy and surging copper
inventories. Nickel plunged lower and tested key support of 870 while lead tested below
110.50. Aluminium tested key support of 112.40 in MCX.

The government has added 38 more products to the list
of commodities exempt from commodity transaction
tax (CTT).
Last week a major positive development took place which boosted the sentiments of the
commodity markets as the Government exempted 38 more agriculture items from the ambit of
the Commodity Transaction Tax (CTT), which was imposed in July 2013. Another ray of hope
rekindled as the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) cleared a proposal to extend a
subsidy of `4,000 a tonne on export of 1.4 million tonnes of raw sugar in the 2014-15 crop year
to help millers export a portion of surplus production and will aid sugar mills to clear the cane
price dues of farmers. As regards price movement of commodities, turmeric & jeera futures
rallied the most in spices complex triggered by reports of lower production & demand from the
upcountry exporters. Cotton prices also witnessed some upside momentum supported by
lower level buying. On the other hand, coriander prices plunged owing to higher output &
sustained elevated arrivals at the spot markets. Wheat futures also felt a downward pressure
on account of bulging stocks at the granaries. The oilseeds counter trade sideways due to lack
of fresh cues of demand from the overseas buyers.

According to 2nd Advance Estimates for 2014-15, released by the Department of
Agriculture & Cooperation on 18th February, total foodgrains production in the
country is estimated at 257.07 million tonnes which is the fourth highest quantity
of annual foodgrains production in the country. This is 8.50 million tonnes lower as
compared to record production of 265.57 million tonnes in 2013-14 final estimates.
Despite of deficiency of 12% in the monsoon rainfall during the year, due to
proactive measures of the Ministry of Agriculture, the loss in production has been
restricted to just around 3% over the previous year.
Lower production of rice, coarse cereals and pulses due to erratic rainfall
conditions during the monsoon season-2014 has contributed to the overall decline
in foodgrain output in crop year 2014-15.
As per 2nd Advance Estimates, the productions of major crops during 2014-15 are
as under:
