COMMODITY ROUNDUP Indian Copper markets were static ahead of weekend and lack of triggers. The prices were trading at Rs 315.60 per kg against Rs 314.80 per kg. The prices tested a high of Rs 318.05 per kg and a low of Rs 314.55 per kg. The World Bu-reau of Metal Statistics newly released data showed that in 2015, global copper supply surplus of 146,000 tons, while 2014 cooper surplus of 116,000 tons. In 2015, global copper consumption was 22.931mn tons; while, 2014 copper con-sumption was 22.811mn tons. In 2015, Chinese copper ap-parent demand increased by 148,000 to 11.451mn tons, account 50% of total global demand. Meanwhile, Indian mines ministry has written to the finance ministry for scrap-ping of 10 percent export duty on iron ore with Fe content below 58 percent, a move that is designed to make the min-ing industry in Goa more competitive. Besides, it has also requested the finance ministry to consider raising the im-port duty on aluminium products by 2.5% to 7.5% and not raise the same on aluminium scrap. The global nickel mar-ket recorded its fourth straight year of oversupply in 2015, with output outpacing demand by 80,700 tonnes, data from the International Nickel Study Group showed on Thursday. Lead futures rose 1.47% to Rs 120.95 per kg on the back of strong demand in spot market and a firming trend overseas. At MCX lead for delivery in March edged higher by Rs 1.75 or 1.47% at Rs 120.95 per kg with a turnover of 26 lots. Also, the metal for delivery this month traded Rs 1.65, or 1.39% higher at Rs 120.25 per kg in 325 lots. Pick-up in domestic demand, particularly from battery-makers and a firming trend in base metal pack LME amid optimism that demand will recover in China after the govt signaled increased sup-port for the economy through higher spending and new measures to boost bank lending. Globally, at the LME, lead, used to make batteries, increased as much as 2.4%, the big-gest daily gain since Feb 8, to $1,763.5 per tonne. MCX Zinc gained about 1% amid a generally supportive un-dertone in metals today as buying stayed in place for the metal amid strong Chinese Zinc imports. Traders also eyed the setback in global supplies following mining output cuts. The commodity rose sharply yesterday, recovering from a one week low and added around 3% to close at Rs 117 per kg. The commodity is currently trading at Rs 118.10 per kg for February delivery, up 0.90% on the day. Technically driven supports have also swung into action for the counter as the latest rebound has occurred exactly after the metal came off its 20 day EMA. LME Zinc inventories have surged in last couple of sessions but remain around 50000 tonnes- down about 20% in last six months.

After almost a month since trading of castor seed futures was suspended, leading commodity derivative exchange for agri commodities NCDEX is keen to re-launch it. However, before that, it is reviewing surveillance and risk manage-ment, and has ordered internal audits of four members who were put on square-off mode and a forensic audit of the whole episode to find out what went wrong. The foren-sic audit began last week and its report is expected next month. It will be a holistic report that will look in to all as-pects of castor seed futures, including trading pattern, and explore whether there was meeting of minds or use of proxy to build positions, The forensic audit will also cover members and exchange officials. Flows of Indian white sugar to Myanmar, a gateway fors-muggling into China, are slowing down, while Brazilian sugar is becoming more competitive due to cheaper freight. Volumes of white sugar shipped to Myanmar soared last year and early this year due to jump in smuggling into-China because of high domestic prices in the world's top sugar buyer. Up to 1mt of sugar is trafficked into China every year, a Chinese agriculture ministry official said. The bulk of the smuggled white sugar came from India and Thai-land, with far-away Brazil supplying a much lower share. But persistently high domestic Indian sugar prices, around $30 per tonne above world prices, are now reducing incen-tives to ship low quality Indian whites to Myanmar. A fall in onion prices in the domestic market has resulted indehydrated onion exports rising by 30% at the opening of a new production season. The dehydrated onion industry begins fresh production and exports from January every year which goes on till July.

CURRENCY MARKET UPDATES:

The US dollar continues to hold steady against a basket of

currencies on Friday with investors eyeing the release of

U.S. inflation data due later in the day. Oil prices began to

decline once again. The dollar index, which measures the

greenback's strength against a trade-weighted basket of six

major currencies, was at 96.85.

Meanwhile, demand for the safe-haven yen strengthened

as oil prices resumed their downward trend on Friday, a

day after the Energy Information Administration said U.S.

crude inventories rose by 2.1 million barrels last week, to a

peak of 504.1 million barrels. USD/JPY slid 0.34% to 112.87.

The European unit was little changed at 1.1101 versus the

greenback. Sentiment on the single currency remained vul-

nerable after the minutes of the European Central Bank's

January meeting, released on Thursday, signaled that the

bank is prepared to inject further monetary easing next

month if necessary to bolster growth.

As against the pound, dollar was higher with GBP/USD

down 0.32% at 1.4290. Retail sales in UK rose 2.3% in Janu-

ary, beating expectations for a 0.8% gain. Year-on-year,

retail sales climbed 5.2% last month, exceeding expecta-

tions for a 3.6% rise. Core retail sales, which exclude auto-

mobiles and fuel, increased by 2.3% in January, compared

to expectations for an uptick of 0.7%.

Sterling held gains against the dollar in choppy trading late

on Friday after European Union Council President Donald

Tusk said an agreement to keep Britain in the bloc won

unanimous support from all of the states' 28 leaders. Late

on Friday, sterling rose 0.4 percent against the dollar to

$1.4387, while the euro slipped 0.1 percent against the

British pound to 77.36 pence. The summit was forced into

extra time on Friday as British Prime Minister David Cam-

eron struggled for a deal he could sell to skeptical British

voters in a referendum promised by the end of 2017 but

that is likely to come in June
