International Cashew Market Commentary 22-10-10

International Cashew Market Commentary

CASHEW WEEK


International Cashew Market Commentary

Mr. Kim, Khiem Nguyen Co., Vietnam

Not much being improved on the market in term of

demands as well as selling ideal during the week.

Small and medium sellers sold W240 at USD 3.05,

W320 at USD 2.85, WS at USD 2.40, LP at USD 1.72

per lb Fob for June to USA market meanwhile the

demand the EU market was small not remarkable.

Reliable sellers not reduce their ideal prices ie W240

at USD 3.20/3.25, W320 at USD 3.00/3.05, W450 at

USD 2.80/2.85, Lbw320 at USD 2.75/2.80, WS at USD

2.45/2.50, DW at USD 2.50/2.52, LP at USD 1.80 per

lb fob for July and August without fi rm buying interests.

It is reported that some sales have made during

the week for forward shipment with good prices

sold by the top and reliable sellers but we are unsure

about this as right now buyers were/are reluctant

to buy for forward with current market levels as cashews

are being considered most expensive to endusers.

Moreover, roasters/manufacturers are not

ready to order big quantity from importers because

of fl uctuating demands and prices making them reluctant

to give their full hands to importers. Most

of the activities have been moved forwards were

short and fast demands from buyers for prompt shipments

with reasonable prices and if being offered

at high prices buyers would recall their steps back

and watch the markets. Meanwhile reliable sellers

are not much hurry to sell as they had been learn

that market would be warm up with good prices due

to good demands in the coming time when buyers

will have to buy large quantity to meet the demand

from roasters/manufacturers. Furthermore, there

are some shorts from the 2010’s crop in all origins,

thus leading to demand over supply will make market

more positive. All datum given are only for information

but we are unsure about if this is right or not

and we are sure that who has much patience will be

the winner, buyer or seller? Time will tell.Exact the consumer prices index in May as follows:


The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers

(CPI-U) declined 0.2 percent in May on a seasonally

adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics

reported today. Over the last 12 months, the index

increased 2.0 percent before seasonal adjustment.

For the second month in a row a decline in the energy

index accounted for the seasonally adjusted decrease

in the all items index. The index for energy

decreased 2.9 percent in May and more than offset a

slight increase in the index for all items less food and

energy. The food index was unchanged. Within the

energy component, the gasoline index accounted for

most of the decrease, although all the major energy

indexes declined.

The index for all items less food and energy increased

0.1 percent in May, posting a monthly increase for

only the second time this year. Contributing to the

May rise were increases in a number of indexes including

shelter, used cars and trucks, tobacco, apparel,

and medical care. The index has increased 0.9

percent over the last 12 months.

The food index was unchanged in May after increasing

0.2 percent each of the last two months. The

food away from home index rose 0.1 percent while

the foods at home index was unchanged. Within the

food at home group, declines in the indexes for fruits

and vegetables and for nonalcoholic beverages offset

increases in the other major grocery store food

group indexes. The fruits and vegetables index fell

1.1 percent after declining 0.2 percent in April. The

index for nonalcoholic beverages declined 0.8 percent.

The index for meats, poultry, fi sh, and eggs

rose 0.4 percent due to increases in the beef and

pork indexes. The index for other food at home rose

0.3 percent, and the indexes for cereals and bakery

products and for dairy and related products both

increased 0.2 percent. For the past 12 months the

food index has risen 0.7 percent, with the index for

food at home up 0.3 percent and the index for food

away from home up 1.1 percent.

Vietnam’s May export fi gure was estimated over

15,000 tons of kernels valued at USD millions 81, a

2.9 % increase compared to April’s fi gure.Exact the consumer prices index in May as follows:
