COMMODITY ROUNDUP Copper remained bearish even after a sharp debacle seen in the prices on the first quotes. The prices fell more than 1% on the first tick and have maintained a weak display in the session. MCX Copper ended the trades at Rs 314.80 per kg, down 1.67%. The prices tested a high of Rs 315.65 per kg and a low of Rs 313.50. Meanwhile. Copper net short posi-tion dropped this week but at much slower pace. Net short position decreased by 616 contracts to down 7.46K con-tracts. Plunging oil and copper prices have affected Free-port's ability to pay down its large debt burden. Net debt stood at more than $20bn at the end of March, compared to the company's market capitalization of $15.4bn. In the first four months, the imports totaled 1.88mt, 23% more than the same period a year earlier. The WTI Crude oil futures edged up towards their four month highs but stalled thereafter as global economic wor-ries capped the upside for the commodity. Equities mostlt stayed well supported as a tepid US nonfarm payrolls data reflected that the US Fed is unlikely to raise interest rates in a hurry. Major indices in Europe are up about 1% right now. WTI Crude oil futures almost hit $46 per barrel before eas-ing and currently trade at $44.60 per barrel, mildly falling into red. MCX Crude oil futures soared near Rs 3050 per barrel and currently trade at Rs 2977 per barrel, almost un-changed on the day. Meanwhile, Iron ore and Steel rebar futures fell limit down in China as speculators continued to exit positions. Iron ore inventories stockpiled at ports across China are soaring amid weak domestic demand a frail export scenario. China's exports dropped 1.8 percent year-over-year in April, while it was expected to remain flat. Imports plunged 10.9% in April from a year ago. The non-commercial contracts of crude oil futures, traded by large speculators, traders and hedge funds, totaled a net position of +318,544 contracts in the data reported for May 3rd. This was a change of -15,721 contracts from the previous week’s total of +334,265 net contracts for the data reported through April 26th. AngloGold Ashanti, the world’s top gold miner, said earn-ings dropped 6% on weak Gold prices. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization de-creased to $378 million in the three months to March 31, compared with $402 million a year earlier, the Johannes-burg-based company said in a statement. Gold production dropped 11% to 861,000 ounces while all-in sustaining costs slipped 6.5% to $860 an ounce. However, the company again generated significant free cash flow despite the lower gold price.

NCDEX will pay money as per an announced formula to those who were net sellers when castor seedcontracts were suspended in January last. The close out price for castor seeds for those who were having net short positions across contract and also having castor seeds stock deposited in exchange-accredited warehouses at the time of suspension. Such sell positions supported by stock are also known as hedging positions. Protecting investors by paying them money is first such move by any commodity derivative ex-change. The exchange had suspended castor seed contracts on 27 Jan this year, when some players were unable to pay margins following a fall in prices. Later, the exchange de-clared a final settlement price of Rs 3,051, at which all deals were settled. It also allowed those holding stock. in NCDEX warehouses to dispose it off on the exchange's e-market platform, which is a spot trading facility. However, contracts were suspended as prices fell, and since those holding sell positions had to incur losses, NCDEX took a first-of-its-kind initiative in exchange-traded derivatives to pay the losers money. It was for this purpose that the close out price was declared. Refined Soya Oil futures surged on NCDEX today as firm global cues and tight availability of oil as well as soybeans in local markets boosted sentiments. The commodity had tumbled in last session, testing lows near Rs 650 per 10 kg mark before witnessing a massive upswing today. Global Soyaoil futures soared today, adding more than half a per-cent on an estimated fall in South American Soybean sup-plies and hit their two week highs today. CPO futures in Ma-laysia also soared by more than a percent as traders eyed an expected drop in Malaysian stockpiles and production. The benchmark NCDEX Refined Soya Oil futures soared sharply in early moves after a break above Rs 660 per kg levels. The counter hit a high near Rs 668 per 10 kg and cur-rently trades at Rs 666.50 per 10 kg, up 1.70% on the day.

CURRENCY MARKET UPDATES:

The US dollar came off its early day highs but continued to remain relatively steady against a basket of currencies on Monday. Demand for the dollar was underpinned after New York Federal Reserve President William Dudley said Friday that it was reasonable to expect two rate hikes this year, despite data showing that U.S. jobs growth increased at the slowest rate in seven months in April. The dollar in-dex ticked up to a high of 94.13, and is currently quoting at 93.96, off Friday's lows of 93.08. The greenback rose to the highest level in two weeks against the yen on Monday af-ter Japan's finance minister said officials were prepared to intervene in the currency market to stem the yen's gains if necessary.

The dollar extended early gains against the yen after Ja-pan's Finance Minister Taro Aso said that Tokyo is ready to intervene in the currency market if excessive moves in the yen are enough to affect Japan's trade, economic and fiscal policies. USD/JPY hit highs of 107.95, the most since April 29 and was last at 107.88 up 0.71% for the day. Last week, dollar fell to 18-month lows of 105.05 against the yen.

The European unit also moved sharply higher against the yen, with EUR/JPY advancing 0.65% to 122.93. The single currency edged lower against the dollar, with EUR/USD dipping 0.08% to 1.1394. Euro area sentiment among in-vestors improved slightly in May, but concerns over the outlook for the global economy continued to weigh. The Sentix investor sentiment index rose to 6.2 from 5.7 in April, compared to expectations for a reading of 6.1. Ger-man factory orders rose by a larger than forecast 1.9% in March, the biggest increase since June, boosted by strong foreign demand.

The rupee strengthened by 7 paise to 66.47 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday on increased selling of the American currency by banks and exporters. The rupee was trading strong by 11 paise at 66.43 at the time of equity markets closing on increased dollar selling by banks and exporters and due to capital inflows into the domestic eq-uity market.
