1 Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Commodity Markets Review DECPG Number April 2012 Non-energy commodity prices rose by 0.6 percent in March a third straight monthly increase led by gains in several food prices, but there were also declines in most metals prices and a few agriculture commodities, notably arabica coffee. Crude oil prices continued to climb on numerous production outages and expected losses of Iranian exports because of U.S./EU sanctions. Natural gas prices in Europe jumped on higher oil prices, while in the U.S. prices continue to plummet on weak demand and growth in shale-gas output. Crude oil prices (World Bank average) rose by 4.5 percent in March to $117.8/bbl on expected supply losses from Iran, and ongoing disruptions in a number of non-opec counties notably South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen due to various geopolitical/weather/technical issues. The U.S./EU sanctions on Iran, which come into full force in July, have already caused EU countries, Japan and other nations to reduce imports from Iran. Further curtailments are likely as buyers encounter difficulty paying for Iranian crude (U.S. rules prohibit financial institutions that deal with the U.S. from doing business with Iranian banks). Up to 1 mb/d of Iranian exports may be halted by this summer according to the IEA. Further oil price increases may be capped, however, by the impact of high prices on demand, and as the U.S., UK and France consider the release of strategic reserves. Meanwhile, the Brent/WTI spread remains at more than $20/bbl due to rising stocks at Cushing OK and limited capacity to transport surplus oil to the U.S. Gulf. Natural gas prices in the U.S. plunged 14.1 percent in March to $2.2/mmbtu a ninth consecutive monthly drop. Prices are substantially below those in Europe and Asia where contracted gas is linked to oil prices. Mild weather and burgeoning stocks have contributed to the current weakness, but the overall low price level is primarily a result of the large growth in U.S. shale gas production in recent years. Natural gas prices in Europe jumped 7.6 percent in March on higher oil prices, as imported gas contracts are indexed to petroleum prices with a lag Major Price Indices Indices of Nominal US$ Prices (2005=100) Agriculture Energy Agricultural prices rose by 0.9 percent in March, a third monthly gain. Increases in food prices especially fats and oils were partly offset by declines in beverages and raw materials. The largest gains were for soymeal and soybean prices, up 9 and 6 percent respectively, on lower than expected U.S. planting intentions, and reduced South American supplies due to dry weather. Palm oil and soybean oil prices rose 3-4 percent due to slower production in Malaysia and South America. Wheat and rice prices rose 2 percent, on tightening supplies. Arabica coffee prices posted a 10 percent decline partly due to a large Brazilian crop. Coconut oil prices fell 5 percent on weak demand in Asia and substitution toward lower-priced competing oils. Logs (Malaysia) prices decreased 3 percent on the continuing slowdown in Asian demand. Metals and minerals prices fell 0.2 percent in March with declines in most base metals, partially offset by a gain in iron ore prices. The largest decrease was for nickel, down 8 percent, on rising stocks and ongoing ramp-up of new projects that is expected to keep the market in surplus in the medium term. Tin prices fell 5 percent due to rising inventories and recovery in production from earlier weather-related disruptions in Asia. Lead prices fell 3 percent on seasonally weak battery demand and rising lead production in China. Also declining were gold and silver prices, down 4 percent, on reduced investment demand. The only notable price gain was for iron ore, up 3 percent, following the return of year-onyear growth to China s steel production in February, and tightening seaborne ore supplies Agriculture Prices - Sub-Indices Indices of Nominal US$ Prices (2005=100) Food Raw Materials 150 Metals and Minerals 150 Beverages Mar-10 Sep-10 Mar-11 Sep-11 Mar-12 Mar-10 Sep-10 Mar-11 Sep-11 Mar-12 Prepared by Shane Streifel, John Baffes and Betty Dow, with the assistance of Katherine Rollins.

2 Major Movers March Soybean meal and soybeans prices surged 8.5 and 6.1 percent, respectively, due to weatherinduced late plantings in Argentina, poor yields in Brazil, and lower than expected planting intentions in the U.S. Natural gas (Europe) prices shot up 7.6 percent due to higher oil prices, as imported contract gas is indexed to petroleum prices with a lag. Urea fertilizer prices increased 7.2 percent mainly due to unseasonably strong demand in the U.S. because of early spring planting, but also because of strong demand in Europe. Crude oil prices rose 4.5 percent due to numerous supply disruptions, weak demand, and expected export losses from Iran because of EU and U.S. sanctions. Palm oil and soybean oil prices (close substitutes) rose 4.2 and 2.5 percent, respectively, on news of a severe slow-down in production in Malaysia the world's second largest palm oil supplier after Indonesia and ongoing weather problems in South America. Iron ore prices increased 3.0 percent after the return of China s steel production to year/year growth in February, and tightening seaborne ore supply. Wheat prices rose 2.2 percent on news of a lower than expected 2011/12 crop in Europe, and some anticipated area diversion from wheat to canola in Canada. Rice prices edged up 2.0 percent due to tight supplies in Thailand (world's largest rice exporter) following implementation of the offseason Paddy Pledging Program. DAP fertilizer prices fell 2.9 percent on weak demand, and as market participants await a key contract price settlement with India. Lead prices declined 3.0 percent due to a seasonal decline in battery demand and growing lead supply in China. Silver prices decreased 3.6 percent, in line with gold on lower demand from investors. Gold prices declined 3.9 percent owing to reduced investment demand, and weak physical demand from China and India. Logs (Malaysian) prices decreased 3.3 percent on continued slow demand from China, India and Japan. Coconut oil prices fell 5.2 percent due to weakening demand as consumers, especially in the Philippines, are shifting to lower priced competing products, especially palm oil. Tin prices fell 5.4 percent due to rising inventories and recovery in output from earlier severe wet weather. Tea prices declined 5.7 percent mainly reflecting the seasonal drop in quality of the Kolkata auction grades. Nickel prices fell 8.5 percent due to rising stocks and expected commissioning of new projects that will keep the market in surplus in the medium term. Coal prices decreased 8.7 percent reflecting weak demand, large stocks following a mild winter in the northern hemisphere, and abundant supplies from major exporting countries. Coffee arabica prices dropped 10.2 percent and stand almost 35 percent below their April 2011 peak in part due to a large Brazilian crop. Natural gas (U.S) prices plunged 14.1 percent due to a large inventory overhang and continued growth in shale-gas production.
