in the domestic markets.
Year-to-date Price Performance
While gold prices in dollar terms are down by more than 20 percent over the year, on
the other hand, MCX gold prices are down by just around 4 percent.
In the Indian markets, over the year Rupee depreciation has acted as a catalyst
capping sharp fall in prices.

tonnes on 13thSeptember13 , marking a fall of around 0.9 percent in the last week.

platinum and chrome
Bullion output rose 0.9 percent from a year earlier, leading to 0.6 percent gain in the
total mining production that had slumped by 5.4 percent a month earlier
The country lost output of around $1.5 billion due to labor unrest in platinum mines in
August last year that spread to gold, iron-ore, chrome and coal producers later.

GoldGold demand in India to fall in H2 2013 - Gold Field Mineral Services (GFMS)
Indian gold demand is expected to fall as the Indian government introduced a series of measures to curb gold imports, in order to curb the
widening trade deficit as per London based GFMS. In the first half of 2013, Indian jewelry fabrication jumped by 25 percent to almost 350tonnes. However, China is now poised to overtake India by 100 tonnes this year due to physical buying of as high as 620 tonnes in the first six
months of the year
World Gold demand to slide before prices gain in 2014 - GFMS
GFMS sees gold demand falling in the second half of 2013 due to drop in bar buying and lesser addition of gold to reserves by the central
banks. Total demand will slide to 2,237 metric tons this half from 2,533 tons in the first six months of 2013 and 2,309 tons a year earlier
Jewelry demand in the first half of 2013 reached a six year high as demand in China surged 41 percent to a record 345 tons and Jewelry usage
jumped 23 percent to 1,137 tons in the first half from a year earlier. Central banks added 191 tons to reserves in the first half, 32 percent less
than a year earlier, and buying is predicted to slow down to 170 tons in the second half of 2013. It further added that the Bar purchases rose
52 percent to 725 tons in the first half and will ease to 441 tons in the six months through December
Outlook
Over the week, gold prices are likely to take cues from the outcome of the FOMC monetary policy review that is scheduled for the 17-18 th
Sep13.
Ahead of the FOMC monetary policy review, gold prices in the international and domestic markets are expected to remain under pressure and
post that the trend in the yellow metal will be largely dependent on the decision the Federal Reserve takes towards the QE taper.

SilverWeekly Price Performance
Declining around 10 percent on the MCX near-month futures contract, silver
prices touched a low of Rs49,160/kg.
Rupee appreciation coupled with negative cues from gold prices led to the fall
in silver.
Spot Silver prices during the last week fell 6.8 percent and tested a low of
$21.35/oz.
ETF Performance
The iShares Silver Trust rose in the last week on account of positive economic
data from advanced economies, that led to increased interest in silver
Tonnage of silver bullion bars held by the US silver ETF increased around 30
tonnes, i.e. 0.3 percent to 10,536.70 tonnes till 12th September 2013. On a year-to-date basis, ETF holdings rose by 478.74 tonnes making an
increase of 4.75 percent.
Factor affecting the silver prices
Fall in Gold prices.
Downside trend in base metal prices acted negative factor to the white metal.
However, sharp fall in prices was cushioned as a result of weakness in the DX
coupled with bounce back in holdings of the iShares Silver Trust ETF.
Outlook Over the week, the price trend in silver is expected to be mixed as world
markets await the decision by the Federal Reserve towards its QE pullback
decision. If the Fed goes ahead with the tapering, then prices are expected to
correct sharply, while on the other hand no decision could provide respite to
falling prices.

CopperWeekly Price Performance
Copper prices on the LME slipped around 1.3 percent in last week and touched a low of
$7024/tonne on Friday.
Prices declined during the later part of the week on the back of favorable economicdata from the US that increased concerns of QE tapering from the Federal Reserve in
its meeting next week.
Further, decline in industrial production data from Euro Zone exerted downside
pressure on prices. In the early part of the week, prices rose on account of positive
economic data from Chinese economy.
In the Indian markets, appreciation in the Rupee acted as a negative factor.
Copper Inventories
On the LME last week, copper inventories declined around 3.8 percent to 577,525tonnes as on 13th September 2013 from 600,275 tonnes last week.
While Shanghai inventories rose 3.6 percent to 157,164 tonnes during the same period.
Chinese Refined copper production rises in August
Chinese production rose 4.9 percent in August, reversing a fall the previous month, as
some smelters likely stepped up operations ahead of seasonal demand hike in
September-October
The August output of refined copper was 560,515 tonnes in August, the third-highest
this year and 11.2 percent up from last year
Seasonal demand as seen in the previous years had risen in September to November,leading to increased buying as orders are expected to rise
Outlook
Despite falling inventories and supportive economic indicators, copper prices could
witness a mixed trend over the week on the back of uncertainty surrounding the FOMC
QE tapering decision.

Outlook
During the week, crude oil prices are expected to trade lower on the back of easing Syrian concerns. Further, US and Russia are planning diplomatic actions towards Syria and with no military actions around the corner, the stress of
oil supply disruptions has reduced, thus leading to downside pressure on oil prices
In the Indian markets, Rupee factor will play a crucial role in determining the prices movement of the commodity.

RupeeWeekly Price Performance
During the last week, the Rupee appreciated around 3 percent on the back of favorable
industrial production and manufacturing output data from the country.
Further, decline in countrys inflation data supported an upside in the currency.
Additionally, expectations of new measures to be declared by Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
Governor acted as a positive factor.
The Indian Rupee touched a weekly high of 62.91 and closed at 63.37 on Friday.
Capital inflows strengthen Rupee
For the month of September 2013, FII inflows totaled at Rs.6372.20 crores ($986.41 million)
as on 13th September 2013. Year to date basis, net capital inflows stood at Rs.66542 crores
($12569.70 million) till 13th September 2013.
Indias Economic Data during the week Indias Industrial Production gained by 2.6 percent in July as against a decline of 2.2 percent
a month ago.
Manufacturing Output rose by 3 percent in July from fall of 2.2 percent in prior month.
Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped to 9.5 percent in August with respect to 9.6 percent in
July.
Cabinet Ministry Approval for infrastructure bonds
Cabinet Ministry on Thursday has approved for purchase of $4.3 billion infrastructure
bonds issued by World Bank.
The countrys main aim is to develop infrastructure projects and is targeting $1 trillion
investment by foreign funds till 2017.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) would invest in the bonds floated by the International Bank
for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) that is a lending arm of the World Bank.
As per World Economic Forum, Indias infrastructure is ranked worse than Kazakhstan and
Guatemala.
Outlook
While sentiments and recently announced
measures by the RBI indicate a supportive trend
for the Rupee, risks to depreciation in the
currency remain as the Indian inflation scenario
worsens at a time when the country is grappling
with domestic and global economic issues.
Also, during the week the decision by the FOMC
and the RBI will help set a clearer trend for the
Rupee.
Considering the rising inflation and risks to
further weakness in the Rupee, the RBI is not
likely to take a stance of reducing interest rates.

Dollar IndexWeekly Price Performance
Over the week, the Dollar Index weakened on the back of rise in risk appetite in the
global market sentiments.
Further, decline in US jobless claims data which was at lowest level since April 2006
acted as a negative factor.
However, sharp downside in the currency was cushioned as a result of unfavorable
retail sales and consumer sentiments data from US.
Additionally, decline in jobless claims data increased concerns of QE tapering from
Federal Reserve in its meeting during the week.
Likely Scenarios with respect to the FOMC Decision
Scenario 1: At the start of the month in our Economic Report dated 4 th Sep13, we
were expecting the QE taper to be delayed as Syrian tensions had heightened and hadhit the world markets by a storm. However, this view may not apply in the current
context as diplomatic decision making is seen towards Syria, thus reducing the risk of a
war.
Scenario 2: The US unemployment rate has dipped to 7.3 percent and unemployment
claims have fallen to the lowest levels since April 2006. a positive jobs market report
could lead the Fed towards making the pullback
Outlook
The Dollar Index is expected to trade on a weaker note as mixed sentiments andexpectations revolve around the FOMC QE taper decision.
In case ofScenario 2, the Dollar Index would strengthen, while the Scenario 1 would be
negative and could lead to weakness in the currency.

Commodities Weekly TrackerMonday| September 16, 2013
Weekly Price Performance
Chana futures opened lower last week extending preceding weeks losses on
prospects of a better sowing in the rabi season due to good rains in chana
growing regions. However, prices recovered from lower levels on account of
festive season demand. The spot as well as the October Futures settled 1.72%
and 0.61% higher w-o-w.
Pulses output heading for second year of bumper output
As on 13th September 2013, Pulses sowing is up 5.6 percent at 103.76 lakh ha.
Increase in acreage under kharif pulses this year and above average monsoon
has raised hopes of bumper Pulses output for second straight year in row.
Festive season demand to offset higher supplies
Renewed buying interest from dal millers to meet the festive season demandhave supported chana prices higher despite sufficient supplies. A series of
festivals shall commence in the coming weeks and thus demand side
fundamentals shall remain strong offsetting higher supplies.
Chana output at record high in 2012-13
Ministry of Agriculture released its fourth Advance estimates of Food grain
production last week wherein it pegged Chana significantly higher at record 8.8
mn tn in the current season 2012-13. compared with 7.5 mn tn.

improvement in demand by the dal millers due to upcoming festivals may
restrict sharp fall.

favorable weather conditions. However, fresh overseas as well as domestic
demand ahead of the upcoming festival supported prices at lower levels.
The spot as well as the October Futures settled 3.91% and 3.68% lower w-o-w.
Postponement of launch of contract
According to a circular released by the regulator, launch of April 2014 expiry

is expected around 45-50 lakh bags. Production in 2011-12 is reported at
historical high of 90 lakh bags/ 10.62 lakh tns.
Outlook
Turmeric prices are expected to trade on a negative note this week as huge
carryover stocks as well as favorable weather conditions may boost the yield this
season. However, overseas as well as domestic demand may restrict a sharp
decline and support prices at lower levels. The withdrawal of monsoon needs to
be watched carefully at this stage, as this may affect the acreage as well as the
yield of the crop.

The spot as well as the October Futures settled 0.68% and 1.53% lower w-o-w.
Global supply concerns boost Jeera exports
The ongoing tensions in Syria one of the largest exporters of the spice has led to
global supply concerns, and thus, increased exports demand from India.
Jeera exports in 2012-13 stood at 79,900 tn, as against 45,500 tn last year.
Second consecutive year of higher output
Indias 2013 Jeera output is estimated at 40-45 lakh bags (of 55kgs each), higher
than 40 lakh bags in 2012. However, increase in the exports due to supply
concerns in the global markets offset the impact of higher supplies on the prices
and thus, medium term fundamentals remain supportive for the upside.
International Scenario
According to reports, production in Turkey is reported around 8,000-10,000
tonnes while production in Syria is expected to be lower, raising supply concerns
in the international markets.
Currently, 1% Jeera of Indian origin is being offered for Singapore at $2,200/tn(FOB Mumbai) while for Europe at $2,325/tn (CNF) (Source: Agriwatch).
Outlook
Jeera may trade on a mixed note with a negative bias on easing tensions in Syria
coupled with prospects of a better sowing in the upcoming season. Higher
production last year may also keep prices under check. However, overseas as well
as domestic demand ahead of the festive season may support prices.
