Commodity news

  • Most front contracts in the commodities segment are down this morning. Oil is little changed on the weekly EIA stocks report but gold continues to trade above USD1,090. EUR/USD is slightly weaker after having risen somewhat following a relatively dovish tone in the FOMC statement. 
  • The weekly EIA inventory report saw draws in crude, gasoline and distillate stocks alike in the week to 30 October. Notably, the elevated distillate stocks fell less than expected; implied demand for all categories was broadly unchanged. Separately, the ADP employment report revealed a larger-than-expected decline in employment in October highlighting concerns that energy demand has yet to show clear signs of a sustainable recovery. 
  • Gold continued to surge yesterday, rising close to USD1,098 – a new all-time high. With the current levels of volatility and with the Fed pledging to “keep borrowing costs low for an extended period”, thereby weakening the dollar, it is highly plausible that we could see bullion going above USD1,100 soon. We still see gold averaging USD1,050 this quarter but recent movements do pose upside risks to our short-term forecast. 
  • In the longer run, we do not see gold soaring without bounds however as the likelihood of neither a depression nor a high-inflation regime both seem negligible. The main risk to our call for gold to fall back below USD1,000 towards the end of 2010 as the global economy gains footing, would be if central banks start to diversify reserves into gold on a large scale.
  • Both the ECB and the Bank of England will announce rate decisions later today. The Bank is widely expected to increase its asset-purchase target. Moreover, US jobless claims data will be out.
