1 COMMODITY UPDATE Global FactSet Market Index Michael Amenta, CFA, Research Analyst Media Questions/Requests April 1, 2014 Key Metrics ENERGY MINERALS + Projected Growth in Production of Oil Revised Lower: Analysts of publicly traded oil and gas companies are predicting that oil production will rise 4.7% for Q and 7.9% in Q2. These projections are down from 7.2% and 9.8% at the beginning of March. Analysts expect oil prices to fall for both the WTI and Brent benchmarks over the next two years before stabilizing. + Gas Prices Reverse Some Gains from Early Winter: Though the Henry Hub benchmark price has dipped 5.1% over the past month, analysts are projecting double-digit, year-over-year gains to producers realized prices in Q1 and Q Year-over-year growth in natural gas production is expected to be less than 2% through Q Stagnant CapEx, Reduced Operating Expenses Expected: Analysts are predicting capital expenditures of public energy companies to grow at 2% or less year-over-year through at least Q In addition, operating expenses per barrel of oil equivalent ( BOE ) are predicted to continue falling over the next two quarters (the metric fell in the prior six quarters) before rising an estimated 2.5% in Q NON-ENERGY MINERALS + Metals ex-gold, Silver & Copper Expected to Rise: Analysts of publicly traded metals and mining companies are predicting sharp price increases for platinum and palladium over the next four years, which contrasts with stagnant medium-term price projections for copper, gold and silver. Zinc, nickel, lead and aluminum are also predicted to gain value in each of the forward four years. AGRICULTURE/SOFTS PRICES + Lean Hog Prices Hot, Lumber Falling: Coffee and lean hogs have made significant gains over three months (60% and 49%, respectively), but the two commodities diverged in March. Most of coffee s gain was in February (+44%, with the commodity is down 2% in March), while the price gains for lean hogs have accelerated over the year (11% in January, 13% in February and 19% in March). On the other end of the spectrum, lumber prices have fallen 7% over a three month period.
