OIL
Both crudes rallied strongly today with multiple bul=ish news along with dollar weakness. Iran delegation left
nuclear ta=ks after meeting with John Kerry and said the talks will resume on 25=h. Kerry stated that talks need high-
level consultations. These headlines reduced the optimism about talks=ending positively and crude rallied quickly from
there. April WTI expired =oday, very strong compared to May contract. Guess what.. Cushing isn =99t full yet! Cost of
storage at Cushing is much below the current spread level and all the CSO open in interest in=apr/may expired yesterday
leaving the spread back to fundamentals. April/M=y spread moved from -1.57 yesterday to -0.75 intraday ending at -
0.85. Ver= short market positioning also escalated the rally in the spread with stops triggering on way higher. =/b>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 frac=ing mandating drillers on federal lands to reveal the
chemicals used, safe=y dispose contaminated water and meet well construction standards. Althoug= only about 5% of
US oil production is done on federal lands, the intention is for states to follow suit. Thes= regulations are expected to
increase cost of fracking, further reducing m=rgins for oil producers. In other news, Russia's small refineries =ay start
scaling back as their discount for exporting fuel decreases with lower oil prices. This is expected to fr=e up 250kbd for
export this year from Russia. Libyan exports are coming ba=k at a fast pace with average exports of 500kbd now, up
from 208kbd in Feb=as the violence and militia tensions ease. Higher expected supply in front months is still weighing
down on spr=ads with may/jun spread trading at -1.13 now.
Vols were weaker in both crudes in line with the ral=y..

Copper prices have brought the base complex up on sp=culation that Chinese demand is returning due to stocks
coming off at Shan=hai and continued issues at the Grasberg mine. In the afternoon a bi= drop off in the dollar fuelled a
rise across the board but there are rumours circulating that China will lower i=s rates over the weekend and that China
will widen the trading band of CNY= The blockade at Grasberg continues into the 5th day but as there ar= still stocks
waiting to be loaded at the port it is unlikely to result in and short term supply issues. M=laysian Finance Ministry
officials are meeting to discuss the 6% tax on me=als placed in warehouses from April that is expected to cause copper
and n=ckel stocks to leave the region. Rusal has seen gains on an improving outlook on Aluminum as demand rises and
sto=ks fall in its key European markets
Shanghai Aluminum on warrant stocks are flat at 112.= kMT. LME Aluminum on warrant stocks are up 1.57% to
