Jun'17_Commodities Update
​Commodities remained largely depressed during Jun'17 with the TRJ-CRB Index falling 2.8%MoM. This downtrend was primarily led by oil prices with Arab Light/Brent losing 6.7%/3.7%MoM on continuous increase in OPEC production (Libya and Nigeria ramp up supply) and OECD stockpiles, negating the extended OPEC deal to cut output. Similarly, lingering oversupply concerns amid lower demand continued to keep urea and cotton prices under pressure while steel recovered modestly. That said, Dairy (+8.3%MoM on limited exports from major producing countries) and (Coal (+6.8%MoM on increased consumption by Chinese power producers) were notable exceptions to the trend. Moving ahead, oil prices are likely to determine the trend in commodity prices where continuous increase in shale oil production presents significant headwinds for bullish sentiment in crude.
