Energy (29.7% of BCOM)

The Saudis may go public, OPEC’s in disarray, the U.S. is suddenly a global exporter, and shale drillers are seeking lifelines from investors as banks abandon them. Welcome to oil’s new world order. A key question is what will break first - will it be the balance sheets of big U.S. shale companies, the treasuries of Venezuela and Nigeria or the resolve of Saudi Arabia? Venezuela, one of the world’s top 10 oil exporters, has bonds maturing in 2022 trading at distressed levels at 38 cents on the dollar and yield more than 40%. In 2013, the yield on these was below 10%. Nigeria’s bonds trade in similar ranges and it has already asked the World Bank and the African Development Bank for $3.5bn in emergency loans. IMF calculations suggests Saudi Arabia could be running a deficit of around $140bn, far above the government's own estimates of around $98bn, or 15% of GDP. Saudi banking stocks have fallen to the lowest levels in at least a decade relative to their net assets, showing concern that bad loans will increase.

For the last 75 years, almost every economic crisis has been preceded by an oil price spike. The worry now is that low energy prices are pushing the global economy into a tailspin as a growing share of the world’s consumers and investors are in the very places getting hammered by the collapse in oil. The problem is that the world’s economy relies far more today on emerging countries than 15 or 25 years ago - the last periods of ultra-low oil prices. And with the exception of China and India, most big emerging countries are oil and commodities rich. Such economies now account for about 40% of global GDP, about double their share in 1990, according to IMF. OPEC is struggling to co-exist with the U.S. shale oil industry. It has never had to deal with an oil supply source that can respond as rapidly to price changes as U.S. shale, said Abdalla Salem El-Badri, OPEC secretary-general. That inhibits the cartel’s ability to prop up prices by reducing output as “any increase in price, shale will come immediately and cover any reduction," he said. In light of this, the proposal by Saudi Arabia, Russia and others to freeze production at January levels will be evaluated in three to four months before deciding whether to take other steps. It’s hard to see a big reduction in the global crude glut after this announcement, however, as both Saudi Arabia and Russia are already pumping near record levels. Saudi Arabia produced 10.2m b/d in January, the highest January level since 1981 and Russian output was a post-Soviet record 10.88m b/d.

For more than a year, American oil producers found a way to keep pumping despite a worldwide slide in crude prices. The companies’ latest projections, released in earnings reports, suggest the crash in oil prices has taken its toll. The number of active oil-drilling rigs in the U.S. is plunging toward the lowest level since Baker Hughes started tracking rig counts in 1940 and the latest rig count stood at 502, a collapse of about 75% over the last five years. However, the wide range of break-evens for US producers undermines efforts to come up with a single price threshold at which the rigs can stay profitable. Texas, for example, which would be the world’s sixth-largest oil producer if it were a country, has shale patches that are profitable with crude below $30 a barrel.

Talk of an output freeze by OPEC and Russia along with falling U.S. production spurred money managers to bet oil is ready for a rebound. Prices have risen 16% since Saudi Arabia, Russia, Venezuela and Qatar tentatively agreed on Feb. 16 to cap production at January levels and U.S. crude output dropped for a fifth week. Hedge funds and other speculators increased their net-long position in WTI futures and options by 14% to the highest level since November in the week ended Feb. 23. Trading volume for WTI futures climbed to a record 1.79 million contracts on the Nymex in mid-February, an all-time volume record for WTI. At the same time, the CBOE Crude Oil Volatility

Index, which measures expectations of price swings, climbed to the highest level in seven years.

Refineries in the middle of the U.S. are curtailing crude processing as profits shrink, leaving behind oil that’s adding to a supply glut. Stocks at Cushing have surged to a record of 64.7 million barrels, or more than 88% of working capacity, and stand at an 86-year high. Gasoline supplies in the Midwest are at the highest level since 1993. Sellers were discounting crude for delivery in March by as much as $2.83 a barrel compared with April, the steepest one-month contango since February 2011. BP Plc reported a 91% decline in fourth-quarter earnings after average oil prices dropped to the lowest in more than a decade, its biggest annual loss on record. Exxon Mobil Corp., one of three U.S. companies with Standard & Poor’s highest rating, is facing its first downgrade in 86 years according to the rating agency. Royal Dutch Shell Plc had its debt rating cut to the lowest since Standard & Poor’s began coverage in 1990. The U.S. shale industry is facing $9.8 billion in interest payments through the end of this year and almost half of the interest is owed by companies with junk-rated credit, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. And according to Moody’s Investors Service, as many as 74 oil & gas companies face significant difficulties in sustaining debt. Oil and natural-gas acquisitions will increase this year as a collapse in energy prices weakens companies’ finances, forcing them to accept lower valuations from buyers, according to Ernst & Young. However, oil and natural gas drillers are reluctant to acquire rivals because of huge debt burdens that would become payable upon takeover, according to Occidental Petroleum Corp. U.S. natural gas have fallen below $2 per million British thermal and are down 27% YTD, pushing futures to the lowest level for this time of year since 1999. Inventories totaled 2.584 trillion cubic feet as of Feb. 19, 28.7% above the five-year average, EIA data shows. For an idea of how long this rout will last, consider the 101 rigs left drilling for the fuel in the U.S. as of Feb. 19. That was the lowest count in records going back to 1987, down from a peak of 1,606. And yet, the U.S. government’s latest monthly data show production continues to rise. Until supply starts showing real signs of retreating, analysts say gas prices will remain under pressure.

Grains (22.8% of BCOM) For farmers who grow some of the biggest U.S. crops, choosing what to plant this year has become a bet on which

Page 4: BLOOMBERG COMMODITY INDEX (BCOM) TABLES & … · Energy (29.7% of BCOM) The Saudis may go public, OPEC’s in disarray, the U.S. is suddenly a global exporter, and shale drillers

one will lose less money. A three-year plunge in prices has sent farm income to the lowest in more than a decade and left parts of the Midwest agricultural economy in recession. While growers probably would lose $70 on every acre of corn or soybeans they sow - the most since 1999 - those crops offer the best chance at profit if yields are better than average. While prices for all three crops are down more than 50% from peaks in 2012, improvements in seed technology to fight drought, bugs and disease have allowed farmers to collect at least 23% more corn and soybeans per acre since 2000, while wheat yields rose just 3.8%. So, even with record global surpluses, U.S. farmers are preparing to plant more corn and soybeans in 2016 and devote less land to wheat, a Bloomberg survey showed. Improving wheat conditions are underscoring the outlook for ample supplies after the U.S. government raised its estimate for world inventories to an all-time high. Falling consumption in China and India is adding to the surplus concerns, and prices are falling around the globe. Paris milling wheat reached a five-year low, while benchmark Chicago futures fell to the cheapest since 2010. American farmers, saddled with a stronger dollar, are having an even harder time finding buyers for their relatively expensive supplies. The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts that exports from the country will shrink to the smallest since 1972.

Egyptian state wheat purchases are falling behind past years after a standoff with sellers. The purchases are essential for a subsidized bread program for Egypt’s 88 million people, with population growth adding about 1.5 million mouths to feed each year. The General Authority for Supply Commodities, the state purchaser, halted three tenders to buy in the past few weeks as conflicting signals from officials on the levels of ergot, a toxic fungus, allowed in shipments led traders to make fewer offers at higher prices. The last time shipments were that low for mid-February was in the 2012-13 season, when political upheaval saw the overthrow of President Mohamed Mursi and imports hit a five-year low. Industrial Metals (17.6% of BCOM) Zinc soared more than 20% from a six-year low reached in January, entering a bull market, after production cuts tightened global supplies. Zinc consumption will exceed supply by 350,000 metric tons, according to the average estimate of six analysts surveyed by Bloomberg, which would be the largest deficit since 2005. Increased purchases by China are one reason for the rally as China’s refined metal imports increased in January, with zinc purchases up 150% from the same month last year amid an emerging shortage after the country’s smelters pledged to cut output by 500,000 tons this year.

While copper prices have rallied in five of the past six weeks on the prospect of improved industrial demand in China, funds and other large speculators have bet on declines for the metal since October. Weak demand in China and risks to the U.S. and European economies pose risk to copper prices. The bright spot may come from Chinese policy makers as the PBOC loosens restrictions on what banks could pay on deposits and charge for loans. The nation’s chief planning agency is also making more money available to local governments to fund infrastructure projects. For the first time in more than a decade, China is the center of the world’s copper stockpiles. There’s more metal in warehouses tracked by the Shanghai Futures Exchange than the London Metal Exchange as price differences make arbitrage trading profitable and encourage copper imports to China. China’s imports of refined copper surged in December to the most on record, according to customs data. Inventory monitored by the Shanghai bourse swelled by more than 140,000 tons since Aug. 27 to 277,000 tons last month, an all-time high. By comparison, LME-tracked stockpiles stood at 205,000 tons, about half the level from August 2015 and a one-year low.

Precious Metals (17.1% of BCOM) Gold’s comeback is dominating 2016. The precious metal is the year’s best-performing major asset as investors flee a bear market in global stocks, a weakening dollar and the fallout from the spread of negative interest rates. Its 17% gain is topping gauges of high-yield and investment grade bonds, Treasuries, all currencies and major stock indexes in developing and emerging countries. Oil priced in terms of an ounce of gold fell to the lowest level since at least 1988. A rally in prices last month had the precious metal nearing a bull market for the first time since 2013 amid mounting expectations that Federal Reserve Chair Yellen won’t follow through on her forecast for raising U.S. interest rates further this year. Traders were pricing in less than 50% odds that the Fed will raise rates by December, down from 93% at the start of 2016. The prospect of lower-than-expected borrowing costs - along with weakening equity and currency markets - is reviving gold’s appeal as a store of value. Inflows into exchange-traded funds tracking precious metals expanded 12 percent last month, the most since

February 2009. SPDR Gold Shares, the world’s largest bullion exchange-traded fund, attracted $4.5 billion of new money in 2016, the most among all U.S.-listed ETFs. All asset classes reported net outflows this year except for commodities and fixed income. Gold’s rally is spurring investor interest with volume on the COMEX exchange rocketing. With prices capping the best month in four years, trading on the exchange had the strongest-ever February.

Softs (7.0% of BCOM) The global sugar market is set to face its first shortage in five years, according to ED&F Man, as production will trail consumption by about 2.5 million metric tons, reversing surpluses from the previous four years. Drought is set to cut Thailand’s sugar cane crop to below 100 million metric tons, the lowest in at least four years. A surge in Indian sugar prices means the world’s second-largest supplier will sell more on the domestic market and less abroad, with exports expected to be less than 50% of what the government ordered. The European Union is poised to miss its sugar export quotas this season as a 23% fall in sugar harvest limits overseas sales. Tightness in sugar supplies is already being felt in the market for refined sweetener, where its premium over the raw variety rose to a five-month high of $117 a ton on stronger Chinese demand and El Nino-induced delays to crops in Central America. China brought in a record 4.8 million tons of sugar last year and imports in 2016 could remain big. South Africa may become a net sugar importer for the first time in at least half a century if a drought that’s destroying the nation’s crops worsens. The country had the least rainfall in more than a century last year. The outlook for Brazil’s robusta coffee crop, the world’s second-largest, has worsened amid drier-than-normal weather. The lingering El Nino weather pattern is bringing dry conditions as inventories are already depleting in Brazil, the biggest exporter. Brazil’s stockpiles will fall to between 4 million and 6 million bags, the Coffee Council estimates, near a record low. Inventories are sliding elsewhere too. Arabica coffee stockpiles dropped to the lowest in more than three years as inventories in warehouses monitored by the ICE Futures U.S. exchange have fallen to 1.546 million bags. Fewer beans have entered the reserves because Latin American supplies, which usually make up most of the stockpiles, have been trading at a higher premium to futures. Strong cash prices are discouraging suppliers from delivering beans to the exchange. The El Nino weather pattern is reducing crop quality in Colombia, and dryness there may cut output by 1 million bags. The tightening supply situation is a reversal from 2015 when coffee prices tumbled 24%. To add to tightening supply, the USDA forecasts that world demand will also climb to a record this season.

As cattle futures price volatility at the end of 2015 soared to the highest in at least a decade and prices increasingly reached daily trading limits, CME responded by establishing a working group with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), which says that the volatility deterred cattle owners from using the derivatives to protect against price swings, to examine more changes in trading. While NCBA suspects high-frequency traders, who use computer algorithms to execute deals measured in microseconds, are the cause of the elevated volatility, only 10% of cattle futures trading is accounted for by high-frequency traders, compared with about 50% across all trading on the CME. Slumping volume in the underlying cash market where cattle change hands directly between owners and meatpackers could be another reason behind volatility. Volumes in the cash market have been falling for decades as cattle owners increasingly agree to sales contracts based on price formulas.

CME announced measures to help curb price swings while denying that high-frequency traders are to blame. As of 1 February, cattle futures were added to an existing CME system that caps how many order updates traders can send in relation to the number of trades they actually execute. Furthermore, effective Feb. 29, futures and options in cattle, hogs and feeder cattle on CME Globex will trade shorter hours, pending approval from regulators.
