Base metal prices, however, firmed during the same month. Precious Metals Precious metal prices were weighed down by weak safe haven demand, following monetary policy tightening by the U.S. Federal Reserve in June. This development raised the opportunity cost of holding precious metals, as investors shifted to interest bearing assets. Base Metals Nickel prices increased by 5.9%, from US$14,388.45/ton in May to US$15,230.95/ton in June, following an increase in the demand for the metal from the automotive and steel making industries. Similarly, copper prices registered a 1.2% increase, to close the month under review at US$6,943.81/ton. This was amid concerns over supply disruptions, owing to persistent protests at mines in Chile, the world s major producer of the base metal. Figure 2: Base metal prices Consequently, gold and platinum prices declined by 1.6% and 2.2%, to close the month under analysis at US$1,281.84/oz. and US$884.67/oz., respectively. Figure 1: Precious metal prices Copper Source: Bloomberg, Nickel Gold Source: Bloomberg, Platinum Brent Crude Oil Brent crude oil prices reversed gains recorded in previous months, amid fears of the resurgence of a global glut, following the decision to increase output, by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies. In addition, global oil supply went up as the US increased production, further exerting 3

As a result, crude oil prices retreated by 1.8%, from a monthly average of US$77.19/barrel in May to US$75.77 in June. Figure 3: International crude oil prices Merchandise Export Developments Merchandise exports stood at US$384.6 million in June, compared to US$267.2 million recorded in the previous month. The increase in merchandise exports was largely driven by a surge in export earnings from gold (69.2%); nickel mattes (63.8%); ferrochrome (58.9%); and flue-cured tobacco (53.6%). Figure 4: Merchandise Exports (US$ m) Source: Bloomberg, MERCHANDISE TRADE DEVELOPMENTS Source: Zimstat, Total merchandise trade increased by 25%, from US$799.6 million in May to US$999.2 million, during the month under review. This was as a result of month-on-month increases in both merchandise exports and imports. 4
