The Federal Reserve's decision to inject a further US$600bn of stimulus into the US Economy caused a weakening of the Dollar and flight by investors back into risk and real assets. OPEC also upgraded its estimates for global oil consumption through to 2014 and data released from China in the middle of the month persuaded the market that the demand picture in the world's second largest economy is encouraging: China reported that oil demand in October rose by 12% according to preliminary estimates. Later, concerns about Euro-zone sovereign debt and further monetary policy tightening in China put pressure on the markets. The MSCI World Energy Index closed the month up 3.7%, with crude oil prices rising to US$84/Bbl. Base metals were mixed over the period, with copper the standout performer. The metal traded above the US$4/lb level at one point, supported by strong demand and supply-side constraints. A commitment in China's twelfth 5-year plan to invest in the National Grid is likely to be very copper intensive. In bulk commodities, the supply of coal from Queensland has been impacted by heavy rains which have closed the Goonyella rail corridor, a key infrastructure route, impacting approximately 90 million tons per annum of mine supply. The heavy rains have also led to declarations of force majeure by a number of operations. Meanwhile, thermal coal prices exhibited strength during the month with Newcastle FOB coal making good drains in the face of continued import demand from China and supply disruptions due to heavy rains across Australia and Indonesia. The HSBC Global Mining Index ended the month up 3.9%.
