Donald Trump s victory, boosting hopes of infra spending & consumption China accounts for half of metals global demand, with improving demand scenario Rise in Chinese infrastructure and electricity output, with more investments planned Supply growth limited as, new mining projected are sparse, given modest investment in recent years Resilient demand and low inventories, keeps prices vulnerable for sudden spurts in case any supply disruptions The current rally could exhaust over disappointment on policy front and the stronger dollar, which could take it to $5,400, worst case $4,950 should not be breached Price have the ability to surprise on the upside towards $6,450 and $6,850 towards the fag end of 2017

19 Zinc Bull trend intact Tightening concentrate supply, mine shutdowns and stronger Chinese buying were the primary drivers Glencore idling 500k tons of capacity, equivalent to 4% of global capacity since Oct. 2015, with no intent of restarting any time soon At current price, demand seems to be waning which can be seen in rising forward premiums, but while supply is restrained, a supply/demand deficit is likely to underpin prices Expect a more toned down bull market well in to 2017, with bouts of profit-taking sell-offs along the way which could take the prices towards $2,400 and $2,250 Any such dips will provide opportunities to ride the next rally towards $2,900 and $3,140.

Govt. has cancelled mining projects that are causing environmental harm. 14 of 20 mines facing suspension are nickel producers, accounting for half of Philippines' nickel ore output in Indonesia has permitted exports of ores such as bauxite and nickel under certain conditions. Philippines banning few mines over pollution concerns and Indonesian government relaxing ban on unprocessed ore exports more so offset
22 Thousand Tonnes Nickel Global Production and Demand Nickel Global Production and Demand e 2017f Global Mine Production Global Demand Balance China s economy is showing signs of sustainable growth more demand for steel and stainless steel The market could tighten 6-9 months down the road, as refineries could be struggling to find ore Source: Reuters, INSG Global production is likely to be subdued, while demand is expected to rise significantly based on higher steel demand. Market balance likely to shift into a deficit as against surplus for the last few years.

24 Nickel Investors favorite bet Nickel prices firm over tighter ore supply from Indonesia, Philippines and the rebound in China s stainless steel output Lack of supply responses to ultra-low nickel prices, even when ~70% of production was underwater, only few cuts outside of China In China, low prices and depletion of Indonesian ore stockpiles prompted cuts to nickel pig iron Steel prices rally after being subdued for last 5 years. Cost-push in iron ore and coal prices causing a rise in steel prices, China s imported iron-ore price rose by 100% in 2016 Philippines banning few mines over pollution concerns and Indonesian government relaxing ban on unprocessed ore exports more so offset Prices could be range-bound for some more time before the next bull run Dips towards $9,600 and $9,220 will be opportunities to accumulate for upside potential towards $12,300 and higher.

Rise in China production to be offset by production declines in other major producing countries. Overall, refined lead metal to end in surplus of 42,000 tons in 2016, and surplus falling to 23,000 tons in Chinese demand will rise by 2.5% in 2016 and by 1.1% in European demand stayed high in 2016, and is expected to remain flat in US demand is forecast to rise by 1.9% in 2017.

28 Lead still time to lead Lead ended the year with marginal gains and has grossly underperformed sister metal, zinc Zinc Lead spread was trading at a discount of $145, and ended 2016 at a premium of $550 Higher prices led to some producer selling to lock gains Production cuts, mine closures and robust auto market, especially in China and Europe, as well as strong growth in the industrial battery market and relatively low stocks are likely to support prices Lead may not be the best bet among the metals pack, but it could surprise on the upside with prices rallying towards $2,160 and $2,300, and in the best case, towards $2,600. Dips towards $1,850 and $1,680 will attract buyers.

33 Jan-14 May-14 Sep-14 Jan-15 May-15 Sep-15 Jan-16 May-16 Sep-16 Jan-17 Aluminium LME to Shanghai Premium Arbitrage Aluminium LME to Shanghai Premium Arbitrage Aluminium LME to Shanghai Premium Arbitrage Source: Reuters Imports in 2017 will be driven by the opening of the SHfE-LME arbitrage as well as the spot- LME arbitrage Exports are expected to continue to be supported by a weaker Yuan and strong demand. If no widening of the SHFE-LME or spot-lme arbitrages in 2017, the major drive will come from fabricators in China who use tolling agreements. Fabricators in China are exempt from import and export tax, and receive a full rebate on VAT, if their aluminium products exports volumes match their aluminium imports
34 Aluminum the dark horse Aluminum ended the year with 12% gains, as market factored in rising costs of production Consumption is likely to outpace supply, the global market balance will remain tight in 2017 Chinese construction sector demand has reportedly increased, with aluminum gaining market share from steel and plastics Operating dynamics changing, as fabricators increasingly storing and taking aluminum in liquid form rather than as ingots China will be the prices driver, if they can match similar growth as in 2016 Could be one of the best bets for 2017 and prices are likely to form a base around $1,550, with upside extending towards $1,950 and $2,070.
35 Outlook 2017 might still be as volatile a year as 2016, with china continuing to be the risk element New President, new policies and possibility of rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve in 2017 may keep metal prices a bit volatile Trump's planned fiscal stimulus optimism priced in - global economic outlook still uncertain Uncertainty in the form of Chinese credit-fueled stimulus package, banking system crisis in the EU, derailment of Trump s plans promised fiscal stimulus can lead to a cool off in metals Aluminum and nickel are looking best placed for a gradual rise, Zinc and Lead could inch higher with bouts of correction Copper could be subdued for the first half, giving opportunities for bulls to stock up for the second half of 2017
