    SEASONAL DEMAND PASSING

    June was a volatile month for commodity prices, with significant headwinds

    from China and the US undermining risk appetite for commodities. Despite

    these headwinds, our proprietary ANZ-CCI ended the month only mildly lower,

    with stronger energy, iron ore markets offsetting weaker precious and base

    metals. Looking forward, we expect commodity markets to experience false

    starts this month as early signs of a bottom in prices begin to emerge. But any

    upside will likely be short-lived. Blurring the picture is the passing of a peak in

    seasonal demand and an unclear position for Chinas near-term growth outlook.

    In addition, the perception and eventual withdrawal of USD liquidity from global

    financial markets will likely generate some uncertainty for commodity moves.

    FEATURE ARTICLES

    This month, we have two feature articles. The first is a review of our

    commodity price forecasts, where weaker China demand and fragile investor

    sentiment has prompted downward price revisions. The second note looks at

    the outlook for Indonesian wheat imports. Indonesia is Australias largest buyer

    of wheat and looks set to overtake Egypt as the worlds largest wheat importer

    within the next five years.

    MACRO BACKDROP

    SEASONAL DEMAND PASSING

    False starts expected as less negative datatriggers relief rallies

    Passing peak in seasonal demand and unclearChina outlook continue to blur the picture

    Oil to hold up better as unpredictable supplyoutages emerge

    June was a volatile month for commodity prices, with

    significant headwinds from China and the US

    undermining risk appetite for commodities. Precious

    metals were the worst performers, hit by a double

    whammy of a severe credit crunch in China and the US

    Federal Reserve confirming an earlier timeframe for

    easing its asset purchase program. Base metals also fell,impacted by weaker manufacturing in China and further

    uncertainty regarding demand. Despite these headwinds,

    our proprietary ANZ-CCI ended the month only mildly

    lower, held up by energy, iron ore and cotton markets.

    Stronger physical trade or increased supply risks appear

    to be the underlying support for these markets.

    We expect commodity markets to experience false starts

    this month as early signs of a bottom in prices begin to

    emerge. Investors have priced in a lot of the downside

    for China, with record high speculative net shorts in

    markets like copper and we think less negative or

    encouraging data could trigger relief rallies. But anyupside will likely be short-lived. Blurring the picture is the

    passing of a peak in seasonal demand and an unclear

    position for Chinas near-term growth outlook.

    Although liquidity tightness in China has started to ease,

    funding costs are unlikely to return to normal levels any

    time soon. If Chinas central bank continues to tighten

    market liquidity despite a softer growth and inflation

    outlook, growth risks could be to the downside in Q3 and

    Q4. Were already seeing this play out in commodity

    markets like coal, with rising expectations of defaults as

    a series of contracts are renegotiated lower. Banks

    appear to be taking a particularly hard line on commoditytrading activity since the start of the year, following a

    rapid rise in non-participant commodity-based financing

    over 2012.

    Chinas property market is also vulnerable. Recent

    property investment curbs to control prices dont appear

    to be working, with home prices and sales up in June.

    This could further induce property controls, but we feel

    this may accentuate the problem. Nearer-term,

    commodities continue to remain sensitive to Chinas

    manufacturing outlook. The latest PMIs suggest

    momentum is slowing, which is also pressuring our

    proprietary ANZ global lead indicator (ANZ-GLI).However, this has been partially offset by modest

    improvements in the US and Japanese manufacturing

    sectors.

    We think the ANZ GLI will continue to grind lower this

    month, with a collapse in Asian (ex-Japan) net capital

    inflows, coinciding with near-term Fed tapering

    expectations. US data has recently surprised on the

    upside, supporting the case for Fed asset tapering, with

    and global bond markets have re-priced for higher rates

    across the yield curve. The perception and eventual

    withdrawal of USD liquidity from global financial markets

    should be negative for exchange-traded commodities,

    especially gold.

    Oil could continue to hold up better than other

    commodity markets. Rising tensions in Egypt and

    potentially other regions in the Middle East should

    support a USD 5-10/bbl geopolitical risk premium. A re-

    established positive correlation with equity markets could

    also make oil more sensitive to macro-economic data and

    earnings results. This may prompt greater divergence

    between US oil and Brent oil benchmarks. However, with

    record high speculative net long positioning in oil, the

    market would also be vulnerable to some profit-taking.

    In contrast, agricultural leveraged fund positioning has

    moved net short for the first time in 18 months. Fund

    outflows were particularly aggressive in grain markets in

    the past month, a key factor behind grains being one of

    the worst performing commodity markets. A warmer and

    drier weather outlook in the US Mid West, improving US

    corn yield prospects, and higher than expected corn

    planting area, were behind the sell-off. The market had

    expected US corn plantings in 2013 to be around 2

    million acres below 2012, as cool, wet weather early in

    the year delayed corn and soybean plantings. However, a

    USDA report indicated the area planted to corn in the US

    this season was 97.4 million acres, slightly above last

    year. Looking forward, given the large price falls in the

    past month, we expect grain prices to stabilise until there

    is more clarity on US corn yields.

    ENERGY

    Oil markets should hold up in July. However, bouts of profit-taking could be apparent as oil prices become overvalued.

    Oil has held up much better than other commodities despite weaker China growth and expectations of US Fed asset

    tapering. We still expect US oil markets to outperform Brent near-term. While both contracts tend to move in a similar

    direction, an uneven global economic recovery and divergent demand trends should continue to support a better

    performing US crude market. We also expect market participants will continue to factor in declining US stocks as

    domestic transportation bottlenecks are alleviated. Although, supply shocks could emerge from geopolitical risks in

    the Middle East and the onset of the US hurricane season.

    The Brent/WTI spread hit a two and a half year low of USD4.5/bbl in June and we think is at risk of falling to a

    discount. We also expect the steeply backwardated WTI curve to be maintained. WTI has recently re-established a

    strong positive correlation with US equities and a lift in earnings following recent improved US data flows should buoy

    the outlook for US oil consumption this year. Markets have been pencilling in easing transportation bottlenecks to the

    US Gulf Coast. The return of the Tulsa East refinery, the start of a new 250kbbls/day CDU at Whiting and the start orramp ups of several new pipelines should occur near-term. As a result, inventories at Cushing should experience

    draws near-term. A more active hurricane season is also on the cards, and could prompt a tighter supply outlook.

    Demand fundamentals look less favourable for Brent. The onset of slower seasonal demand in the third quarter and

    unclear position for Chinas near-term growth outlook could be a drag. North Sea production should return to normal

    following maintenance, but any supply outages during the third quarter shoulder period will be closely monitored by

    the market. Saudi Arabia also continues to raise production to maintain market share, which could offset some of the

    supply losses from rising Middle East tensions and tighter Russian supplies. Although, rising geopolitical risk sentiment

    stemming from turmoil in Egypt and potential regional supply shocks will likely support oil markets more generally.

    BULKS

    Bulk markets were mixed in June with stronger iron ore prices offsetting weaker coal prices. The divergingperformance of iron ore and coking coal was an interesting dynamic with iron ore gaining on the backdrop of flat to

    weaker steel and coking coal prices. Reports of shipment defaults in thermal coal are also a shot across the bow that

    all is not well, and with seasonal demand now declining, we expect bulk prices to consolidate or even weaken off

    already low bases in the months ahead.

    Rallying Baltic Capesize rates propped up iron ore prices in the past month as traders bet the bottom in prices had

    passed. We think the bounce is just that, with prices likely to ease in the coming month as seasonal demand wanes.

    Freight rates are still high, but have lost their upward momentum suggesting traders have had enough for the time

    being. Chinese port stocks have also gained 7-8% in the past month suggesting the increased buying activity is going

    into opportunistic inventory rebuilding rather than better demand. In the absence of stronger steel prices (not

    apparent right now) spot iron ore prices should retrace back towards the USD110-115/t range in the short term.

    Coking coal looks in worse shape decoupling from firmer iron ore prices over June. A flat steel market hasn't helped,

    with ultra skinny steel mills margins making it very difficult to accept higher iron ore and coking coal prices at thesame time. Higher coal export volumes out of Australia looks a little misleading, but shows the pricing leverage steel

    mills have at the moment - taking higher volumes at lower prices. In fact, rising supply in a weak market is fuelling

    further price declines. Although prices now look distressed (for producers), stronger steel prices will be needed to

    change the mood. This doesn't look likely in the next few months.

    Thermal coal is defying logic, with prices dipping heavily into the cost curve. We estimate 30% of the seaborne

    industry is losing money at current prices - most of it, Australian output. A falling Aussie dollar is not helping, with

    high cost Australian producers delaying closure decisions on the mild positive currency impact. Reports of shipment

    defaults highlight the negative tone of the market - and flags even lower prices in the short term. This could also

    create an overhang of supply into the fourth quarter blunting a price pick up from stronger winter demand. Mild

    support could come from reports Japan is increasing thermal power capacity, but better news has to come from the

    bigger "growing" markets of China and India to re-ignite stronger prices.

    BASE METALS

    Base metals could experience relief rallies as signs of a bottom in prices emerge. But these will be short-lived, with

    the view on China still uncertain. Demand has been underwhelming and sentiment will likely remain cautious with

    investors keeping a wary eye on tight credit conditions and rising property prices. Recent tight supply conditions and

    higher premiums should start to ease as the traditional seasonal peak in demand passes and supply outages are

    brought back online. Global LME inventories are still blurring the picture with inventory financing deals keeping levels

    inflated and delayed delivery schedules. We think Chinese inventory moves should be a better guide of real demand

    with a pull-back in local financing deals removing the non-commercial influence.

    The volatility in copper prices will likely continue near-term. There could be some upside from greater copper imports

    in June, after the Shanghai/LME differential reached the widest levels in 3 years. Domestic inventories are also posting

    ongoing declines, down 30% to 173,000 tonnes since early April. However, LME warehouse delays continue to blur the

    picture, with copper importers being forced to queue for already bought deliveries, as reflected by sticky near-record

    high LME copper cancelled warrants. As a result, global LME stockpiles remain inflated near 10-year highs. Recentsupply tightness should also subside, with the return of Freeports Grasberg production to full capacity and

    commencement of Rio Tintos 430ktpa Oyu Tolgoi copper concentrate shipments from Mongolia.

    A crackdown on financial applications for high energy consumers or heavy polluting companies in China could see

    more upside in aluminium, zinc and lead markets. Stockpile positions suggest lead is tighter than zinc while

    aluminium markets continue to be pressured by overcapacity and near-record high stocks. Nickel probably has the

    greatest potential for a short term rally, after two months of posting the biggest price declines. About 45% of global

    nickel producers are operating below current prices and we expect global nickel producers (ex-China) will begin to cut

    back output. That said, prices should remain under pressure with Chinas nickel pig iron (NPI) producers still operating

    at full capacity. The average cost for Chinese NPI production is estimated to be below USD13,000/t and supplies have

    been encouraged by ongoing declines for raw material costs (particularly coking coal).

    PRECIOUS METALS

    Precious metals declined sharply in June. Spot gold fell 12% in the month, taking losses for the calendar year to 26%.

    Silver wasnt spared, also down 12%, but has fared worse than gold with the latest months moves taking silver losses

    this year to 35%. Declines in platinum and palladium, down 8% and 10% respectively rounded off a difficult month

    for the precious metals complex. Going forward, we think investor sentiment towards these markets will remain

    negative. The ongoing capital flows into developed markets is boosting the USD and US interest rates, both of which

    reduce the investment appeal of precious metals. And speculative net long position in both gold and silver are at

    historical lows of 4.0%-4.5% of open interest, flagging lack of confidence short term.

    Interestingly, physical gold demand in China remains strong and the onshore-offshore price differential has improved

    to around USD30/oz, from USD18/oz in late May. Chinese demand remains robust, and imports for the first 5 months

    of 2013 are almost double year-ago levels. However, India should continue to see weak import volumes amid higher

    import duties and restrictions on gold consignments. These factors saw Indian gold imports reportedly fall to 31.5mtin June from 162mt in May, according to a government source. However, while we expect this to persist for some

    months, we should see a pick up in volumes as we approach the wedding season starting in November.

    We continue to see further near-term downside for gold. Technically, the market is still trying to establish a base, and

    the style of further dips and rebounds should be closely monitored. We are biased lower in the near-term and are

    targeting prices sub-USD1,150/oz, but look for a recovery in coming quarters. We expect gold to recover mildly from

    these levels towards the end of the year and stabilise around USD1,300/oz. Selling by gold-backed exchange traded

    funds (ETFs) have added the equivalent of 12.5% to global annual gold supplies in 2013 so far. This is one dynamic

    that must subside before the market can stage any real recovery.

    Platinum and palladium markets are supported by supply issues in South Africa, as workers undertook industrial

    action related to pay disputes. Immediate concerns may have been alleviated as Amplats announced the return of

    workers, though wage negotiations are set to continue over the next few weeks and could be a source of near-term

    volatility. Gold and silver are highly vulnerable to short-covering, though we expect the style of these moves to beshort, sharp and unsustained as the near-term fundamental picture remains negative.

    GRAINS

    Despite old crop corn prices remaining resilient, new crop prices have fallen sharply in the past fortnight. December

    2013 corn future prices have fallen 14% from the high in mid-June, resulting in prices closing below the psychological

    barrier of 500USc/bu in the past week. Given the extent of these falls, we expect prices to stabilise near term, with

    markets unlikely to fall further until there is more clarity on US corn yields. A main concern at present with the US

    corn crop is its development is running behind in some areas. Slightly warm and drier conditions are needed, but such

    weather forecasts are also unfriendly to prices. This is the exact scenario markets are grappling with. The two week

    weather outlook in the US Mid West is for average or slightly higher temperatures while rainfall forecasts centred on

    Iowa are for drier than normal conditions conditions all favourable for rapid growth. While forecasting skill is lower

    further out, the weather outlook looks similar through to early August, but importantly, large spikes in temperature

    are not expected. Overall, with the greatest chance that weather remains benign for the US corn crop over the next

    six weeks, prices are still at risk of correcting further. We anticipate new crop corn prices will fall another 10% in

    August as the current weather risk premium built into prices washes out of the market.

    For wheat, supply dynamics look decidedly different. Uncertainties surrounding global supply have reduced

    significantly in the last month, with winter wheat harvest well underway throughout the northern hemisphere. As a

    result CBOT wheat prices have declined 8% in the last five weeks and are expected to remain under pressure as

    harvest continues. In key US Hard Red Winter (HRW) producing states, harvest is well over half complete. More

    broadly across the US, 57% of US winter wheat was harvested by 7 July, a slightly slower pace than the 5 year

    average. In contrast, new wheat supply from the Black Sea region is hitting export markets slightly ahead of normal.

    Over 25% of the Ukraines winter wheat crop has already been harvested, while Russias harvest in the south started

    two weeks ahead of schedule. While export supply will increase from the region this month, peak supply will be most

    apparent in August and September. This is also likely to coincide with markets becoming more comfortable with spring

    wheat yields and the state of the US corn crop. Assuming global weather for grain crops remains benign, these factors

    should all conspire to push wheat prices another 5-10% lower by September.

    SOFTS

    Sugar prices look set to remain under pressure in coming months as peak supply from Brazil and Australia hits the

    market. But with prices testing close to 16USc/lb, the question facing market participants is how far will prices fall

    below this in Q3? In our view, a further 10% fall cannot be ruled out, but a more dramatic decline looks unlikely. One

    factor behind recent USD sugar price weakness has been the fall in the Brazilian Real (BRL). Dire sentiment towards

    emerging market economies and commodities in the past two months has driven the BRL 11% lower against the US

    dollar. With early signs the worst of the negative sentiment has passed, the same currency headwinds for sugar prices

    are unlikely to be repeated in the coming two months. Similarly, the impact of an early and dry start to Brazils crush

    this season will wane in the months ahead. Early season trends in Brazils centre south crush saw mills in the region

    extract over 60% more recoverable sugar. But with full season growth likely to be only 15% y/y, this trend will fade,increasing the need for sugar to price itself more competitively against ethanol.

    After a period of range bound trading, volatility in the cotton market should increase over the next quarter. Chances

    of an upside breakout above 90USc/lb rest on a weather driven event. With the US crop already in less than ideal

    condition in Texas, ongoing dryness and a further deterioration in yield prospects in the US is likely to be the main

    avenue for such a catalyst. Aside from weather concerns, we expect ICE cotton futures to remain capped below

    90USc/lb. At this level or higher, profitability for Chinese spinning mills importing cotton becomes marginal. Also if

    prices persist above this level for a sustained period, cotton risks losing market share to synthetic fibres in some

    countries. This would increase the risk of downgrades to global cotton demand for 2013-14, pushing ending stocks

    higher. As to downside price risks, we have materially increased the chance that prices will fall below 80USc/lb in

    coming months. Investor positioning is extreme, with CFTC net long spec positions up to 36% of open interest,

    leaving risks prices will fall if this segment of the market decides to liquidate. Further we think a slowdown in Chinas

    imports in the second half will reduce the existing global price distortions from Chinas cotton policies, providing lesssupport to global cotton prices.

    FEATURE NOTE

    COMMODITY PRICE REVISIONS

    Weaker China demand and fragile investorsentiment has prompted a price revision

    Biggest downgrades have been made toprecious metals and coal

    Price will fall 9% in 2013 but rise 5% in 2014as investors look to re-enter off a low base

    We have downgraded our commodity price forecasts by

    an average 4.5% in 2013 and 5.5% in 2014 adjusting

    for a weaker China demand outlook and in some cases,

    an inelastic supply response. Abrupt selling by

    investment funds has also prompted a lower short-term

    price outlook, particularly for the precious metals. Ourbiggest downgrades have been to precious metals and

    coal. In most cases, prices will decline further in the

    coming quarter, before recovering in the fourth. We

    now expect prices to fall an average 9% in 2013 and

    rise 5% in 2014.

    Commodity markets have struggled over the past three

    months as confidence over the short term China

    demand outlook deteriorates. Strangely, the data

    hasnt been terrible, but the market appears to be

    struggling to adjust to a more pragmatic leadership

    regime. There is however growing risks that the hands-

    off approach is creating additional stress, withtightening credit supply hamstringing key heavy

    industry demand. This, along with recent downgrades

    to our China GDP forecasts, is a key reason for our

    more cautious price outlooks.

    Another headwind has been heightened expectations of

    tapering of US quantitative easing (QE). This has

    manifested itself in a stronger US dollar (negative for

    commodities) and a broad asset rotation out of US

    bonds and global commodity markets into a better

    returning US equity market. The improved

    accompanying US data flow has largely been ignored

    (by commodity markets), with the leverage being lostto the much more dominate, but poorer performing,

    China market. We think this dynamic has largely played

    out, but cant see it unwinding or reversing in the short

    term.

    Supply dynamics have surprised us on the negative

    side, with loss-making industry participants unwilling to

    wind-back or idle capacity. This is mainly showing up in

    the coal and base metal markets, where pledged supply

    agreements or government support is making it hard or

    not necessary to reduce supply. Inventory levels have

    also swelled. The biggest drag is being felt in coal,

    nickel and steel. Visible copper stocks also look high,but reports of sharp draw-downs in hidden Chinese

    ports stocks may be masking tighter conditions.

    Our biggest downgrades have been made to precious

    metals down an average 8% over 2013/14. The

    strong negative sentiment swing in the past fewmonths has triggered additional technical selling in a

    market which is always vulnerable to momentum

    trading. Gold and silver are also playing a slightly

    different tune to other commodities, much more

    sensitive to the asset rotation out of safe-haven US

    bond markets and the liquidation of large exchange

    traded fund positions. We still see short term weakness

    in prices down to the mid USD1,100/oz range, but

    expect prices to rebound back towards the

    USD1,450/oz range by mid 2015.

    Our other big downgrades are in coal and nickel down

    an average 7% over the next two years. The coalmarket is being hamstrung by weaker Chinese demand

    and stronger Chinese supply. The additional rub, is

    inelastic high cost Australian coal supply, which is

    ramping up, rather than winding-down, output in a bid

    to leverage a flat unit cost structure. Nickel continues

    to feel the brunt of substitution to Chinese Nickel Pig

    Iron and excess stainless steel supply. US oil is one

    market we have upgraded as better domestic demand

    and easing supply bottlenecks trigger a firmer view.

    FEATURE NOTE

    INDONESIAN WHEAT IMPORTS TO JUMP

    Indonesian wheat import volumes to surpriseon the upside over the next 12 months

    A widening price disparity between rice andwheat, the curbing of flour imports and high

    food inflation in Indonesia will drive above

    trend import growth

    Australia will see another record year ofwheat exports to Indonesia, with volumes

    forecast to reach 5 million tonnes (mt) per

    annum for the first time

    Wheat imports by Indonesia, the worlds second ranked

    importer by volume, are set to accelerate sharply. Weforecast Indonesian wheat imports to jump 15% y/y,

    implying volume growth of around 1mt over the next

    12 months. For Australia, we expect this to mean

    another record year for wheat exports to Indonesia

    hitting 5mt per annum for the first time. Factors driving

    this stronger than normal growth include:

    a widening price disparity between rice and wheat; the curbing of flour imports by Indonesia; high food (non-cereal) CPI and fuel inflation inIndonesia;

    and new domestic flour milling capacity.A widening price differential between Indonesian rice

    and Australian wheat in H2 2013 will be a key catalyst

    in driving wheat demand in Indonesia. Seasonal factors

    should keep Indonesian rice prices supported, while

    global wheat prices are expected to still fall further

    between now and the Australian harvest as northern

    hemisphere grain supply increases. We expect to see

    the price spread widen to USD500/t by late Q3, a level

    more consistent with the first half of 2012.

    Current high food inflation in Indonesia also favours

    higher wheat consumption in the months ahead. FoodCPI is running at 11%, driven by rising fruit, vegetable,

    fish and meat prices. However price rises in

    cereal/grain CPI have been more subdued (Figure 10).

    Further, petrol retail prices increased by 44% and

    diesel prices by 22% on the 22 June. This is the first

    increase in transport fuel prices in Indonesia in five

    years. With higher fuel prices and non-cereal food CPI

    sweeping through the Indonesian economy, consumers

    are likely to be particularly cost conscious, favouring

    consumption of wheat noodles at the expense of other

    food items.

    A continuation of the higher tariff on flour imports intoIndonesia is expected to continue to curb wheat flour

    imports over the next 12 months. In December 2012,

    Indonesia imposed a temporary 20% safeguard duty on

    imported wheat flour lasting for 200 days, with expiry

    on 20 June. While no official announcement has beenmade, the expectation is the government will

    indefinitely extend the higher tariff.

    This will be a positive for Australian grain demand, as

    the measure has effectively shut a small, but

    significant, supplier of Black Sea wheat into Australias

    largest wheat market. In the three years prior to 2013,

    Turkeys flour exports to Indonesia were the equivalent

    of 45,000 tonnes of wheat exports per month. Since

    the implementation of the tariff, Turkeys flour imports

    have been negligible to Indonesia.

    Consistent with an expected large jump in wheat

    imports, the Indonesian flour milling industry is adding

    new capacity. Over the course of 2013, the completion

    of four new flour mills is expected to add 25% to

    current capacity. This large increase in capacity will

    keep mill utilisation rates under pressure in Indonesia.

    Even with our forecast of Indonesia importing 7.5mt of

    wheat over the next 12 months, utilisation rates for the

    Indonesian flour mill industry are likely to fall back to

    66% of installed capacity, a 4 percentage point decline

    compared with 2012-13.

    TRADE IDEAS

    OIL (initiated 2nd July 2013)

    We think US WTI markets will continue to outperform

    Brent near-term and have initiated a long WTI, short

    Brent spread trade, targeting an USD0.50/bbl

    premium. While both contracts tend to move in a

    similar direction, an uneven global economic recovery

    and divergent demand trends with the US economy

    improving and uncertainty in China should continue

    to support a better performing US crude market. We

    also expect market participants to continue to

    factoring in for declining US stocks at Cushing, as

    domestic transportation bottlenecks are alleviated

    from increased pipeline and refinery capacity nearby.

    IRON ORE (initiated 10th July 2013)

    We think iron ore prices will fall near-term, tracking

    Baltic Capesize freight rates with a 1-2 week lag. The

    capesize market is expected to fall after a strong run

    rate in June up 60%. A slowdown in seasonal

    demand is already being reflected in the freight rates,

    which is down 9% since the beginning of July. We arealso cautious on Chinas steel market, with a little too

    much steel output produced in the first quarter -

    showing up in high steel inventories. This means we

    may see sightly weaker steel output in the second half

    as domestic steel mills run down steel stocks.
