included in IIP, had an output growth of 2.6% in August 2015 over August 2014.
India's external debt at end-June increased 1.8% over end-March, due to rise in NRI deposits and commercial

Gold
The price of the MCX Gold October 2015 futures contract
dropped by 3.10% in September to close the month at
`25,856 per 10 grams (g).
The U.S. Fed resisted a rate hike in its September meet,
increasing expectations of a hike later in the year, given the
hawkish comments of U.S. Federal Reserve Chairperson
Janet Yellen which pulled down gold prices.
A firm U.S. dollar and a global rout in commodities also
weighed on yellow metal prices.

Silver
MCX Silver December 2015 futures contract prices declined
by 2.22 percent in September, closing the month at `34,547
per kg.
In addition to factors affecting gold price movement, weak
global industrial demand, especially due to increasing
concerns over Chinese economic growth, kept silver prices
under pressure in September.

Base metals
Base metal prices moved down largely on concerns over Chinas
economic slowdown.
Copper
MCX Copper November 2015 futures contract prices slipped
by 1.73% in September to close the month at `342.70/kg.
Despite copper production cuts, notably by Glencore,
copper prices moved down in September on increasing
Chinese economy concerns.
The International Copper Study Groups estimates that
copper market had a surplus of 15,000 tonnes in the first 6
months of 2015 compared with a deficit of 576,000 tonnes a
year earlier, aided the decline in copper prices.
Nickel
MCX Nickel September 2015 futures contract prices
contracted by 0.76% in September to close the month at
`663.0/kg.
Weak demand on concerns over Chinese economic
slowdown, and International Nickel Study Groups release
that global nickel market surplus was 10,300 tonne in July as
against 7,800 tonne surplus (June), put pressure on prices.
At month-end, with international prices at around six-year
lows, closing of positions at the quarter-end and ahead of
long Chinese holidays, aided some recovery in prices.

Base metals
Aluminium
MCX Aluminium September 2015 futures contract prices
closed September at `102.45/kg., a monthly fall of 4.39%.
A spate of downbeat economic data releases, especially
from China, pushed aluminium prices down.
Rising refining capacity in China amidst decreasing rawmaterial costs leading to surge in alumina inventories over
the past few months kept pressure on aluminium prices.
Lead
MCX Lead September 2015 futures contract prices fell by
6.08% in September, with a month close at `108.90 per kg.
Along with other base metals, lead prices also moved down
on weak global demand, especially on concerns over a
slowing Chinese economy.
Zinc
MCX Zinc September 2015 futures contract prices moved
down by 10.02% in September, with a month close of
`109.15 per kg.
Zinc prices fell on rising global stockpiles amid increasing
concerns over the Chinese economy, the worlds largest
metal consumer.
Global zinc inventories in September were the highest since
February this year.

Crude oil
MCX Crude Oil futures prices declined by 7.77% in
September 2015 to close the month at `2,979 per barrel.
Signs of slowing global economic growth, abetted by
concerns about China fed to the worries on energy demand
outlook, and pushed oil prices down.
In addition, US Energy Information Administration and
Goldman Sachs lowered their oil price forecasts amidst
news that Saudi Arabia did not support the holding of an
emergency OPEC meet aimed at stopping the slide of crude
oil, added pressure on oil prices.

Crude palm oil
MCX September CPO futures contract closed the month at
`415.90/10 kg, up 8.7% after import duty on edible oil was
increased. India raised import duty on crude edible oil from
7.5% to 12.5% and on refined edible oil from 15% to 20%.
El Nino strengthened concerns of palm oil output in South
East Asia. El Nino may exceed levels observed during 1997
98, Australias weather bureau predicts. Its effects may be
exacerbated by haze in parts of Indonesia and Malaysia,
which together supply 86% of the worlds palm oil.

Festive demand was also seen lifting palm oil prices. The
festive season from September to November generally leads
to higher demand for food commodities.
Cotton
MCX October Cotton futures contract closed the month at
`15,780/ bale, down 3.4%.
India will have one of the largest closing stocks of cotton (90
lakh bales) in its history when the new season begins on
October 1, according to Cotton Association of India (CAI). It
estimates cotton output for 201516 at 377 lakh bales.
CAI projects cotton supplies for 201516 at 467.65 lakh
bales (including the carry forward stock of 90 lakh

Cardamom
MCX cardamom October 2015 futures contract fell by 3.7%
in September to close the month at `808.80/kg amid
sufficient stocks in the physical market.
Cardamom prices were down owing to improvement in
arrivals at auction centres and conducive weather which
augurs well for harvesting the new crop.
Export demand remains poor amid cheaper availability of
Guatemalan crop in the global markets.
Source: MCX
Mentha oil
MCX mentha oil September futures contract fell by 8.7% to
close at `891.60/kg.
Prices were down on high arrivals and low export demand,
which continued to remain poor. Concerns of fall in Chinese
demand owing to sharp fall in their equity markets, weighed
on prices. China is one of the biggest importers of Indian
mentha oil.
Sufficient stocks across mandis in the mentha-growing-belt
also weighed on prices.
