COMMODITIES UPDATE & WEEK AHEAD DRIVERS Higher-than-expected US inventories, along with risk-off sentiment make crude oil the big loser on the week—but a new balanced supply narrative prevents a rout

Weaker RMB and Brexit-driven demand concerns hit zinc and PGMs, while copper and nickel get support from gold market

Gold and silver breakout to hit new highs amid Brexitinitiated risk-off buying, aggressive spec net long extension and sub-zero yields across much of the world

Last week's market action was increasingly driven by distracted traders who responded to the uncertainty surrounding the UK referendum vote on June 23rd. Before the weekend, opinion polls indicating rising support for the "Leave" camp sent investors looking for cover with stocks falling, while bonds and gold gained.

polls and start a strong market reversal led by a weaker dollar. The market has made an assumption, which paid off at the start of the trading week, that her death would sway more of the undecided voters to cast the ballots in favour of remaining in the European Union. The adverse reaction to higher inventories, concerns surrounding demand, and a strengthening USD prompted traders to force crude oil lower, with both Brent ($46.94/bbl) and WTI ($45.83/bbl) falling close to the lower bound of the recent trading range. Speculative investors were forced to reduce their nearrecord exposure following the failure to maintain a presence at above $50/bbls. But the emerging narrative advocating a movement of supply-demand into balance prevented crude oil from dropping below critical levels, with WTI bouncing off the 50dma which took it within a whisker of $50/bbls on Monday again. Improving Fundamentals Prevent Crude Oil from Breaching the Lower Bound

These developments were accompanied on Wednesday by a more-than-expected dovish statement following the June FOMC gathering. Most importantly, the FOMC members lowered their projection of the expected interest rate path, with just six members now only seeing one rate hike in 2016. After a good run that brought the S&P GS Commodity Index to its highest level since late-June 2015, the commodities complex suffered a setback last week. The move lower was very much led by crude oil, petroleum products and the reversal in the zinc rally. Traders sold many industrial commodities and energy products as the pending Brexit vote increased the concern that the global economy will slow and reduced investor confidence. Brexit-related Fear and Loathing Mana for Gold In sharp contrast, gold and silver broke higher as very low bond yields along with the resulting quite modest cost of carry persuaded traders to aggressively extend their net-long exposure. The accompanying risk-off trading managed to propel gold and silver to their highest level in the last six months, which was also the highest in nearly two years. The yellow metal spiked to a high of nearly $1,316/oz and the white metal coming close to $17.87/oz. On Monday, however, with the outcome of the Brexit vote shifting back to a greater chance of a "Remain" decision, gold and silver lost their upward momentum and settled a few percent below the highs. The murder of Jo Cox, a Labour member of the UK parliament who was a "Remain" supporter, seemed to help shift the

Gold has posted a very good showing so far this month, after the latest communique from the FOMC and statements from Janet Yellen have finally quashed the hawkish mantra introduced into the market's psyche back in the early part of this year. The poor US May jobs showing on June 3rd sent interest rate expectations tumbling down, which was re-enforced on Wednesday following the FOMC meeting. These two events along with the risk-off sentiment generated by the pending Brexit vote helped to drive much of the strong recovery seen this month.

As equities have suffered in response to risk-off trading, sovereign bond yields have continued to collapse with the yield on German 10-year paper being the latest to drop below zero early last week. US bond yields were also at low levels, driven down by a dovish Fed, ECB corporate bond purchases and the Brexit risk. Once the market takes stock after the referendum, markets will be still be left looking at a world in which significantly higher than zero yielding quality sovereign and even corporate bonds continue to be in very short supply. This along with a dovish outlook from the FOMC, with possibly only one hike this year, should continue to be a catalyst for strong gold markets. It is not a given that we will see a significant gold correction, even if the UK voters decide to stay in the EU.

Long Copper/Zinc Ratio Trade Re-entered in Model Portfolio On June 9th, 2016, the copper/zinc ratio traded through our stop level, and quickly closed out our position, as recommended on June 7th, 2016. We wrote in our Weekly on June 10th, 2016 that we were reassessing to enter the trade at a better price level, but as the ratio traded back up to our original protective stop level once again, we decided to re-enter the same trade. Our new stop level will rather be set just below the June 10th low, at 2.15x.

Equities Weakness Spurs Gold Buying 2140

Since sovereign bonds have increasingly moved into negative yielding territory, the USD cost of carry has been dropping and has driven investors to take aggressive net long positions. While we think that will be supportive longer term, a correction may be a reality first with gold moving down toward $1,225/oz. Of course a vote to exit the European club should get longs building positions in even greater size, moving the yellow metal toward $1,382/oz. Silver would surely follow the dynamics set out by gold.

ECONOMIC INDICATORS & DATA CALENDAR In the aftermath of the US Federal Reserve shift to an even more cautious economic outlook and their path forward, US data will again be very closely watched for confirmation of the weakening trend or a more positive turning point. Outside of the KC and Dallas Fed manufacturing indices for June, which may surprisingly print a bit better than dour predictions, the Chicago Fed National Activity and the US Leading Economic Indicators May indices will all be parsed to judge the direction of the economy. Continued weakness in the broader US data will be taken as confirmation that the recent Fed turn to greater caution is warranted, and should hit the USD further, as interest rate expectations fall. This would continue to keep supporting gold/silver at higher levels, which have suffered a bit of a reversal over the last several days. The Brexit safe haven buying has moderated somewhat, as new polls suggest the "Remain" vote may be gaining traction again. Beyond the data, Janet Yellen will speak to the Senate and House panels on Tuesday and Wednesday, but she is unlikely to alter her now more guarded optimism as stated at the June FOMC meeting. The soundbites could be a little more dovish, which also suggests that gold/silver will avoid sharp selloffs, even as Brexit polls tip the scales to a less worrisome "Remain" vote. Crude oil and base metals benefit from the more dovish turn in the US and improved risk-on sentiment, while crude oil also should see further declines in US inventories and the latest sharp drop in North Dakota oil production, as further signs of tighter market balances ahead, and that should also be positive for prices.

TD SECURITIES GLOBAL METALS PRICE INDEX The TD Securities Global Metals Price Index (TDGMPI) is an aggregate, weighted price measure based on a basket of spot base and precious metals. TDGMPI weights are based on the metals’ importance in the global economy, with USD dollar value used as a proxy. The TDGMPI encompasses nine metals. The weights are based on a rolling 5 year average contribution of each metal to the total value of global metal production. The nine metals and their current weights are: copper (26.3%), aluminum (16.6%), nickel (5.5%), zinc (4.6%), lead (4.0%), gold (35.6%), silver (4.6%), platinum (2.1%) and palladium (0.8%). Thus, metals which have a greater impact on the value of world metal production receive a greater weighting in the index. This index can be used as an analytical tool, mainly to track how the metals sector is performing over time, but also to compare performance of each of the individual metals and sub-sectors (precious metals, base metals) to the index as a whole.
