COMMODITY BUZZ AND ECONOMIC EVENTS

20th FEBRUARY

SPECIAL NEWS
India's natural rubber imports have surged by 46% over last three years The applied rate of basic customs duty effective from 9 January 2004 is 20% for dry forms of NR and 70% for latex. In December 2010, import duty on dry forms of NR was revised as 20% or Rs. 20 per kg whichever is lower. In January 2012, import duty on latex was revised as Rs. 49 per kg if the duty amount per kg calculated at the rate of 70% advalorem is more than Rs. 49 per kg. The Government has revised the import duty on dry forms of NR from 20% or Rs. 20.00 per kg whichever is lower to 20% or Rs. 30.00 per kg whichever is lower with effect from 20 December 2013. Global consumption for January to December 2013 was 21.003 million tonnes and the comparable figure for the whole of 2012 was 20.054 million tonnes. Chinese apparent consumption in January to December 2013 rose by 990000 tonnes to 9.83 million tonnes, which represented nearly 47 percent of global demand. EU27 demand was, at 3.055 million tonnes, 0.3 percent above the January to December 2012 total. In December 2013, refined copper consumption was 1.835 million tonnes.

COMMODITY BUZZ Copper marked a surplus in the January-December 2013 period. The copper market recorded a surplus of 387 kt in January to December 2013 which follows a surplus of 250000 tonnes in the whole of 2012. Reported stocks fell by 65000 tonnes during December and ended the month 153000 tonnes lower than at the end of 2012. World mine production in January to December 2013 was 18.32 million tonnes which was 7.2 percent higher than in the same period in 2012. Global refined production rose to 21.39 million tonnes up 5.3 percent compared with the previous year with a significant increase recorded in China of 1.015 million tonnes more than compensating for the 147000 tonnes fall in Chilean output and a 71000 tonnes drop in Indian production. In December 2013, refined copper production was 1.85 mn tonnes. India registered a demand of 974.8 tons of gold in 2013, the third highest annual volume. Higher import duties and deterring import quotas not to speak of discouraging of gold-related lending and even coin sales led to contraction of supplies. Reports suggest that, the ongoing level of drilling activity is very much sufficient to help maintain Eagle Fords natural gas output.
