18 INVESTOR BEHAVIOUR Seite 18

19 Investor behaviour The role of funds Seite 19

20 Investor behaviour Commodities have a relatively small share of the derivatives market While commodities are one of the oldest and largest physical markets in the world, representing about 10% of global GDP, they constitute only a small share of total futures outstanding and an even smaller share of the mammoth $600 trillion OTC derivatives market. (Source: ML) Seite 20

21 Investor behaviour A large portion of the futures market is dedicated to rather passive activities But even this relatively small share of commodities in global derivatives markets overestimates the ability of speculators to use commodity derivatives to eliminate inefficiencies. In fact, a large portion of the futures market is dedicated to rather passive activities such as commercial hedging and index tracking. (Source: ML) Seite 21

22 Investor behaviour Mark-to-market valuation metal & mining stocks still not overpriced! Company Price PER EV/EBITDA (GBP, per ) (spot scenario) (spot scenario) BHP Billiton x 6.0x Rio Tinto x 5.0x Anglo American x 5.6x Xstrata x 5.6x Source: ML Seite 22

23 Investors behaviour Sharp decrease in volatility on raw material equity indices DJ STOXX Basic Resource Index - Volatility Seite 23

24 Investors behaviour Sector CDS spreads are tightening CDS Metals/Mining Sector Graph Seite 24

25 INDUSTRY DYNAMICS Seite 25

26 Industry Dynamics Severe production cuts - Future supply will be impacted Capex follow commodity prices with a lag Less supply in future suggests prices could rise dramatically when demand recovers The gross fall in capex may reach $24bn in 2010, this equates to the removal of approx. 3mt of annual copper Industry may well be in an even worse position with regards to supply than it was in 2003 Seite 26

27 Industry Dynamics Recent capex increases absorbed by inflation Almost half of Rio Tinto s increase in capital expenditure between 2003 and 06 was absorbed by inflation Seite 27

28 Industry Dynamics Steel inventories in North America at levels of 1983 North American steel product inventories increased by 313k tons sequentially, to 7.8mm tons in February. Inventories were up 261k tons in January. The inventory rebuild has been under way for the past six months. Feb inventories rose 4% on a sequential basis and are down 18% versus last year. The sequential rise is above the average February increase of 25k tons. Inventories are 41% below the 10-year average of 13.1mm tons. While inventory tons have increased, months on hand were flat at 2.5, given the corresponding increase in shipments. MoH are below the 10-year average of 2.8. (Source: ML) Seite 28

29 THAT MAKES US BULLISH Seite 29

30 That makes us bullish Crude steel production World crude steel production for January was 108.9mt, up slightly from the 107.0mt total in December. On an annualised basis, the total represents 1,282mtpa, 25.5% above January 2009 s figure. Yet again, we have seen the world ex-china production continue its recovery while China s figure of 573mtpa annualised disappointed. With lead indicators remaining in positive territory, (and unless production is constrained by raw material availability), we expect continued growth in output through the coming quarter.
