• We expect persistent near term weakness, but a mild recovery in H2 2009
• Prices will struggle near term, but the downside is not unlimited – while demand is weak and
might get weaker, supply cuts have been signifi cant
• Base metals: In the overview, we focus on base metals where the extent of supply cuts and
the relationship between prices and costs determine the prospects for recovery in H2
• Crude oil: Energy prices have underperformed the rest of the commodity complex – OPEC
compliance is key to a recovery
• Gold: We retain our bullish outlook for gold by H2 on the back of USD weakness and strong
investor support
• Agriculture: Strong m/m performance highlights improved investor sentiment and supply
concerns
