We are turning more positive towards the commodities complex and have made significant upward revisions to a large number of
our commodities price forecasts for 2018 over the past several weeks, including for oil and metals. Global fundamentals remain
relatively supportive for prices, amid a pickup in global economic growth this year and a gradual rise in global price inflation. We
remain above consensus on oil and grains and have turned more positive than consensus on some non-ferrous metals. We
maintain the view that weakening Chinese metal demand this year will weigh on ferrous metals.
