Grain market:

In Europe, plants for the production of nitrogen fertilizers have stopped working. Natural gas has become too expensive. The deficit of nitrogen fertilizers in European countries is predicted in 2022 at the level of 7 million tons and they will have to be taken somewhere. If there are no fertilizers, there will be no normal harvest. Companies based in the Russian Federation, Eurochim, Acron, Uralchem and others, will be in a more advantageous position, but they are unlikely to be able to cover the entire European deficit, which will lead to a strong increase in prices for these products.

Europe can count on natural gas at a reasonable price, about $ 400-500 per 1000 cubic meters, now only in the spring, since the deficit at the moment is 70 billion cubic meters. Even the launch of the second branch of Nord Stream 2 will not be able to solve the accumulated problems. No gas — no fertilizers. No fertilizers, no harvest.

In the current circumstances, when the price for fuel and fertilizers is growing, we do not see any reasons for a strong price rollback from the current levels in the grain market.

Reading our forecasts, you could make money on the WTI crude oil futures, taking a move up from 73.20 to 83.76 dollars per barrel.

Energy market:

Oil continues to remain at its maximum levels, which increases the concern of some economists, as high oil prices will slow down the development of the global economy. The only way to improve the macroeconomic situation in the West and justify the injections of huge sums of money which is not yet earned is to show sustainable economic growth in the near future. If it does not exist, then this will lead to an increase in inflation and a drop in living standards, which, in fact, is already happening, since the money supply must correspond to the volume of goods and services produced. Therefore, the rise in oil prices at this stage is extremely harmful for the West, but very acceptable for the East after the terrible year 2020.

Gas prices in Europe have adjusted, but continue to be above $ 1,000 per 1,000 cubic meters, which leads to the shutdown of a number of enterprises that actively use gas in the production cycle. If the situation drags on, then the economic loop will tighten around the neck of mainly Eastern European economies, and the hysterics of the local governments will be replaced by deep disappointment from life as such. Many will resign.

USD/RUB:

Elvira Sakhipzadovna raised the rate by 75 basis points to 7.5 percent per annum and said that she would continue in the same spirit if inflation does not stop.

Given the rise in energy prices and the high rate of the Central Bank, it can be assumed that the ruble will continue to strengthen against the US dollar. The mark of 68.00 rubles per dollar looks reasonable.

For a stronger strengthening of the national currency, it is necessary that on November the 3d, the Chairman of FRS Powell continues to hypnotize the markets with sweeping passes over the podium.

“We will begin to cut the quantitative easing program, we will raise the rate by the middle of the second half of 2023. It won’t be long to wait. Hope. «

With such a supply, the dollar / ruble pair will be able to reach the level of 65.00. It’s not the Turkish lira to invest in now. Part of the free money will come in rubles.
