OIL
Both crudes rallied strongly today with multiple bullish news alon= with dollar weakness. Iran delegation left nuclear
talks after meet=ng with John Kerry and said the talks will resume on 25th. Kerry stated that talks need high-level
consult=tions. These headlines reduced the optimism about talks ending positively =nd crude rallied quickly from there.
April WTI expired today, very strong =ompared to May contract. Guess what.. Cushing isn't full yet! Cost of storage at
Cushing is much be=ow the current spread level and all the CSO open in interest in apr/may ex=ired yesterday leaving
the spread back to fundamentals. April/May spread m=ved from -1.57 yesterday to -0.75 intraday ending at -0.85. Very
short market positioning also escalated the rally in=the spread with stops triggering on way higher. US oil rig count fell
by 41 to 825..we are now close to 50% below the p=ak rig count (production though is still above the peak rig count
level), =nd should see production finally flattening out soon.

Obama admin also issued federal regulations for fracking mandating=drillers on federal lands to reveal the chemicals
used, safely dispose con=aminated water and meet well construction standards. Although only about 5% of US oil
production is done on federal =ands, the intention is for states to follow suit. These regulations are ex=ected to increase
cost of fracking, further reducing margins for oil produ=ers. In other news, Russia's small refineries may start scaling
back as their discount for exporting fuel dec=eases with lower oil prices. This is expected to free up 250kbd for
export=this year from Russia. Libyan exports are coming back at a fast pace with =verage exports of 500kbd now, up
from 208kbd in Feb as the violence and militia tensions ease. Higher expec=ed supply in front months is still weighing
down on spreads with may/jun s=read trading at -1.13 now.
Vols were weaker in both crudes in line with the rally..

Copper prices have brought the base complex up on speculation that=Chinese demand is returning due to stocks coming
