Market Overview
Asian markets are trading on a mixed note tracking losses on Wall
Street after the disappointing release of non-manufacturing data
from the US which has dimmed the possibility of a rate hike in Sep’16
monetary policy review.
US Dollar Index traded lower by more than 1 percent in yesterday’s
trading session. Reason behind this weakness could be attributed to
the disappointing release of non-manufacturing data from the nation
that grew lesser than the forecasted levels in Aug’16. The pace of
growth was at its slowest in more than six years.
Moreover, last week’s employment data from the nation also came
on a weak note. NFP employment data plunged to 151K from
previous month’s 275K in Aug’16. Even average earnings and
unemployment data came on a bitter note which has fueled
speculation in the economy with respect to the strength of the labor
market of the US. All the above factors have raised caution in the
market with respect to delay in rate hike timing.
The American currency made an intraday low of 94.76 and closed at
94.82 on Tuesday.
The Indian Rupee appreciated by 0.2 percent yesterday owing to
sustained selling of the greenback by exporters and banks amid lower
dollar in the overseas market. Moreover, heavy influx of capital into
the domestic markets has helped the Indian currency to stay
supportive.
Domestic markets i.e. Sensex and Nifty traded higher owing to weak
release of economic data from the US which has dimmed the
possibility of a US rate hike in Sep’16 monetary policy review.
For the month of September 2016, FII inflows in equities totaled at
Rs. 786.77 crores ($117.51 million) as on 6th
September’16. Year to
date basis, net capital outflows stood at Rs. 41636.50 crores
($6254.66 million) as on 6th
September’16.
News & developments
IMF to downgrade its 2016 global growth forecast International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde
said the institution will likely downgrade its 2016 global growth
forecast again as economic prospects are dimmed by weak demand,
flagging trade and investment and growing inequality.
Lagarde told Reuters in an interview that G20 leaders need to do far
more to spur demand, bolster the case for trade and globalization,
and fight inequality. (Reuters)

o Payrolls in U.S. Cool in August as Jobless Rate Holds Steady U.S. payrolls grew at a slower but solid pace in August while
measures of labor slack were little changed, signs the job market
is cooling as the economy approaches full employment.
Payrolls climbed by 151,000 last month following a 275,000 gain in
July that was larger than previously estimated, a Labor
Department report showed Friday in Washington.
The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey called for 180,000.
The unemployment rate and labor participation rate held steady,
while wage gains moderated and hours worked were the lowest
since 2014.
The August figure is consistent with a simmering-down of payrolls
growth so far this year as the world’s largest economy slogs
through a period of weak investment and some companies have
difficulty finding workers. Analysts were divided on whether the
report gives Federal Reserve officials a green light to raise the
benchmark interest rate in September for the first time in 2016,
while futures traders slightly pared bets on a move.
Employment slowed at private service providers, with payrolls in
professional and business services posting the smallest gain since
a decrease in January. Retail jobs rose by 15,100. (Bloomberg)

Gold On Tuesday, spot gold prices rose by around 1.76 percent to close at
$1349.6 per ounce the biggest percentage gain since June, as
disappointing U.S. economic data reinforced speculation in the
market that the Federal Reserve will not raise interest rates at its
September policy meeting. The U.S. non-manufacturing new orders
index for August fell to its lowest since December 2013.
The metal hit a two-month low of $1,301.91 last Thursday on
prospects that a strong non-farm payrolls report for August could put
the Fed on track to raise rates soon. Gold bounced back, however,
when the data missed expectations.
On the MCX, gold prices rose by 1.27 percent to close at Rs.31378 per
10 gms.
Silver Spot silver prices rose by 2.7 percent on Tuesday to close at $20 per
ounce in line with rise in gold prices. Weak dollar index also
supported the rise in silver prices.
On the MCX, silver prices rose by 2.46 percent to close at Rs.47607
per kg.
Outlook On an intraday basis, we expect gold prices to continue its positive
momentum from the previous trading session. Poor services data has
lead to weakness in the dollar which in turn will boost all the
commodities including precious metals.
Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve meeting scheduled on 20-21 of
this month will be a close watch by investors across the globe.
On the MCX, gold prices are expected to trade higher today as
international markets are higher by 0.21 percent at $1352.34 per
ounce.

Crude Oil
WTI oil prices rose by 0.9 percent on Tuesday to close at $44.83 per
barrel as hopes waned for an agreement between two of the biggest
oil producers to freeze output to tackle a global supply glut.
Brent had jumped 5 percent on Monday, after Saudi Arabia and Russia
agreed to cooperate in world oil markets. But Brent pared gains later
that session after Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said there was
no need to freeze output for now.
Still, his Russian counterpart Alexander Novak said he was open to
ideas on what cut-off period to use if countries chose to freeze output,
and said even production cuts could be considered. The Organization
of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and non-OPEC producers such as
Russia will hold informal talks in Algeria on Sept. 26-28. Many in the
market are skeptical a deal will happen.
On the MCX, oil prices declined by 0.6 percent to close at Rs.2964 per
barrel.
API inventory forecast The American Petroleum Institute (API) and the U.S. Department of
Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated, on
average, that crude stocks decreased about 100,000 barrels in the
week to Sept. 2. The data has been delayed by a day due to the Labor
Day holiday on Monday. Stockpiles of gasoline were forecast to have
decreased 500,000 barrels last week, while distillate inventories, which
include heating oil and diesel fuel, were forecast to have increased 1
million barrels.
Outlook On an intraday basis, we expect oil prices to trade lower as the glut in
the oil market continues to bother investors sentiments. Iran, OPEC's
third-largest producer, has said it would only cooperate in talks to
freeze output if fellow exporters recognised its right to fully regain
market share. The action by the oil producers to lift oil prices is a
coordinated move in the right direction.
On the MCX, oil prices are expected to trade lower although
international markets are trading higher by 0.65 percent at $45.13 per
barrel.

International Commodity Daily Reports
Base Metals
LME base metals traded mixed yesterday as weakness in the DX after
the US Nonfarm payrolls data came in much lower than expected,
supported dollar denominated commodities. While on the other
hand, investors remained cautious ahead of crucial data releases
from China this week.
MCX base metals traded mixed in line with international markets.
Copper LME Copper prices traded lower by 0.1 percent yesterday to close at
$4620/tonne as stocks at the LME’s Asian warehouses have
persistently risen since mid August, indicating that China is exporting
the surplus.
Also, investor interest seems to be lackluster as per latest reports.
LME's Commitments of Traders report showed total net long
position of funds trading copper on the LME fell to 18,033 lots on
Friday from 27,026 lots the previous week. Before this, even the
CFTC data showed speculators sharply increasing their net short
position in copper futures and options.
However, the metal was cushioned as US NFP climbed by just
151,000 last month following a 275,000 gain in July leading to sharp
weakness in the DX. Besides, world no.1 copper exporter Codelco
said striking workers at its small Salvador copper deposit in Chile
have blocked access to the mine and are affecting production.
MCX copper prices traded flat to close at Rs.311.1 per kg on
Tuesday.
Outlook
LME Copper is currently trading higher by 1.2 percent at
$4677/tonne. Prices will likely trade higher today as San Francisco
Fed President John Williams said that he sees slower rate hikes now
than he did just a year ago, along with weak economic data from the
US, is adding to bets that the September rate hike is unlikely. Also,
pickup in demand post the summer lull season will be supportive.
However, cautious stance ahead of trade and inflation data from
China along with persistent surge in LME stocks will restrict sharp
upside.
We expect MCX Copper prices to trade higher today.
