COMMODITY ROUNDUP
Gold prices surged by Rs 350 to Rs 33,650 per 10 gram on
Monday as buying by local jewellers gathered steam to
meet wedding season demand, according to All India Sarafa
Association.Silver too shone by gaining Rs 850 to Rs 40,900
per kg on increased offtake by industrial units and coin
makers. As per bullion traders, gold firmed up on increased
buying by jewellers to meet the ongoing wedding season
demand.Besides, gold prices crossing USD 1,300 an ounce
overseas influenced the sentiment in the domestic market,
they said. Bullion market was closed on Saturday on
account of Republic Day.Globally, gold rose to USD 1,301.82
an ounce and silver traded higher at USD 15.77 an ounce in
New York.In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and
99.5 per cent purities climbed Rs 350 each to Rs 33,650 and
Rs 33,500 per 10 gram, respectively. Sovereign gold
advanced by Rs 200 to Rs 25,700 per piece of eight
gram.Silver ready rose by Rs 850 to Rs 40,900 per kg and
weekly-based delivery by Rs 954 to Rs 39,990 per kg. Silver
coins, too, were in good demand and traded higher by Rs
1,000 at Rs 78,000 for buying and Rs 79,000 for selling of
100 pieces, respectively.
Oil prices fell 1 percent on Monday after U.S. companies
added rigs for the first time this year, a signal that crude
output may rise further, and as China, the world's second-
largest oil user, reported additional signs of an economic
slowdown.International Brent crude oil futures LCOc1 were
at $60.74 a barrel at 0804 GMT, down 90 cents, or 1.46
percent.U.S. crude oil futures CLc1 were at $52.84 per
barrel, down 85 cents, or 1.58 percent, from their last
settlement.High U.S. crude oil production C-OUT-T-EIA ,
which rose to a record 11.9 million barrels per day (bpd)
late last year, has been weighing on oil markets, traders
said.In a sign output could rise further, U.S. energy firms last
week raised the number of rigs looking for new oil for the
first time in 2019 to 862, an addition of 10 rigs, Baker
Hughes energy services firm said in its weekly report on
Friday. oil supply, a key question for this year will be the
magnitude of demand growth.Oil consumption has been
increasing steadily, and it will likely average above 100
million bpd for the first time ever in 2019, driven largely by
a boom in China.A global economic slowdown, however,
amid a trade dispute between Washington and Beijing is
weighing on fuel demand-growth expectations.

India's rabi crop sowing covered 591.64 lakh hectares till
25th January 2019, down by 30 lakh hectares from 622.12
lakh hectares planted in 2017-18, according to the
Agriculture Ministry’s latest data.The worst hit seems to be
winter rice, which reported a shortfall of more than 21% in
planting, with Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu reporting a
huge drop in rice acreage. Tamil Nadu, which accounts for
nearly half the rice cultivation in the rabi season, reported a
nearly 27% shortfall in sowing.Wheat cultivation, on the
other hand, is restricted to 296.37 lakh hectares, which is
2.5% lower than the 304.88 lakh hectares reported in the
corresponding week in the previous rabi season. The
shortfall was mainly from Maharashtra and Gujarat, which
are suffering a drought currently.The acreage under pulses
dropped to 151.6 lakh hectares, a little over 6% lower than
in the same period in 2017-18. The drop is mainly due to
less sowing of gram - the main rabi pulse crop - in
M a ha r a s ht r a , K a r na t a k a a n d G uj a r a t .
Though there was a slight increase in pulses acreage in
Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu,
it wasn’t enough to pull up the numbers. Two pulse
varieties that have reported higher sowing this year were
green peas and kulthi, which are substantially higher than in
the same period last year. Another group of crops hit by
drought conditions is coarse cereals. The subdued sowing in
Maharashtra and Karnataka has led to a 14% fall in acreage,
which is 47 lakh hectares as compared to 54.63 lakh
hectares in the corresponding period in the previous year.
A good showing by the mustard crop, mainly in Rajasthan,
has somehow helped oilseeds come up close to the levels
last year. The total area covered under oilseeds so far is
around 79 lakh hectares, as per the official data.

The euro fell on Thursday ahead of a European Central
Bank meeting in which policymakers may express caution
about slowing economic growth.The ECB is expected to
reaffirm its plan to raise interest rates by the end of the
year but traders will focus on how explicitly, if at all, the
central bank acknowledges the slow-downThe euro has
lost around 1.6 percent of its value over the last two weeks
as investors bet the ECB will keep monetary policy
accommodative for an extended period.If recent weaker-
than-expected economic activity in Germany and France
leads ECB President Mario Draghi to point to a potentially
longer lasting slowdown, that could hurt the euro."We see
a risk of modest dovish bias from Draghi today given the
long stream of the soft euro zone data and look for the
euro to test $1.1310," said ING FX strategist Petr Krpata.At
0830 the euro was down 0.2 percent at
$1.1355 EUR=EBS .Germany, France and Italy, the euro
zone's biggest economies, barely grew in the fourth
quarter and French business activity fell unexpectedly this
month, a survey showed on Thursday. ECB holds its first
meeting of the year at a time when concerns are also
growing about global trade tensions and Brexit.Sterling
traded marginally lower at $1.3043, hovering near highs
last seen in mid-November in a sign traders expect Britain
to avoid a chaotic exit from the European Union.Some
analysts expect limited upside for sterling. Philip Wee,
currency strategist at DBS says that most of the gains in the
pound are due to the unwinding of short positions. He sees
sterling capped in the range of $1.3170-1.3240
The U.S. dollar pushed higher against a basket of its rivals
on Thursday but gains were held in check amid concerns
over global growth, the U.S. government shutdown and
the ongoing U.S.-China trade war."Trade tensions are the
most dominant factor for investor sentiment right now and
will drive market flows," said Nick Twidale, chief operating
officer at Rakuten Securities.Twidale added that investor
risk appetite will only improve once concerns over the
partial U.S. government shutdown and trade tensions fade.
