Commenting on the markets, Richard Davis, representing the Investment Manager
noted:
Energy markets began the month with considerable momentum. 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%.
