quick update - crude vol + Brazil CDS
Classification: Public
Jeffrey — see cr=de oil trading commentary below.
Implied vols went = down and the index is slightly up.
Mar15 WTI vol (which e=pires in Feb15) is down to 47.80%. More info below.
Brazil Sy CDS closed a= 197/201. When you entered the trade it was 201/205. The 4bps tightening w=th a spread DVO1
of approximately 4.5k should lead to approximately -18k P=L on the position.
BRL appreciated 1.02% =oday, so being short BRL on an NDF for same notional should have yielded a=out -100k PnL.

OIL
&nbs=;
A crazy day in oil. WTI failed to break 45$ and we r=llied 8.7% after that and tested 49$! The rally started as NY walked
in, h=wever bearish stats interrupted it. Nevertheless, news that North Dakota N=vember production was flat again
caused some questions, as now the 2m growth has also been flat. Last year&=8217;s respective 2month growth was
45kbd...Some are blaming the weath=r, which is definitely a factor. However, 1 interesting thing is tha= the state said
that it needs 130 rigs to maintain production at current levels; it has 152 currently operating (this number =as dropped
from 180) and that it foresees only 120 by Q3. So N Dakota coul= start DROPPING mom by late Q2. In conjunction with
the relentless gasolin= rally due to large planned and unplanned TARs for this time of year as well as the last day of the
GSCI i=dex rebalance (although this is 4k wti/day and 8k bre per day-hardly enoug= I'd say to explain the 400K+ volume
in both prompt crude future=) caused to a massive short covering. WTI spreads and BRE spreads were also extremely bid
as these have been consens=s trades over the past couple of months...I think oil will try to test=50$ in the short term-
what happens there is critical...On stats, they =ere bearish as we built 5.4M bbls overall off the back of a sizeable

rebound in imports and drop in runs. P2 built 2.3M,=Cush built 1.8M, and P3 built 900k. Products also built, although
consider=bly less than the past few weeks...
OIL VOLS
Vols were offered all daya, even before the large sp=ke. We saw interest in selling Cal15 vols across the board, and there
were=also big sellers of call6 vol in the market. As it still seems worth being=long gamma, the back is selling off more
than the front. H5/Z5 WTI is above 13 vols!!! There has been a large =bsence of any type of producer business so far this
year as far as I can t=II, and January is typically one of the busiest producer hedging months:11=30;i think that vol selling
will continue, especially if we break 50$ to the upside in the prompt...</=>

growth in China is hav=ng an impact on predicted demand in the region. However there are co=cerns that
fundamentally ther could be a bullish story lurking. Cuts in copper mine output for geologica= and technical reasons
such as the 150kMT cut at Escondida and the 100 KMT=cut at Kennecott are rasing questions as to whether the global
surplus exp=cted in 2015 with Macquarie expecting the market to be balanced. The late arrival of the rainy season in
Zambia =nd Democratic Republic of Congo may have a significant impact on open pit =ining in both regions, cutting
supplies in coming months. There also remai=s one last dominant holder of LME stocks with over half of current stocks
who could reap a handsome reward i= they hold their position, given that the market is $80 backwardated, indi=ating a
tight market. Aluminium remained relatively firm but still f=llowed the complex down. Around 500 kMT of Chinese
smelting capacity is likely to close in coming months as do=estic prices drop below the cost of production. China expects
to add=4.5 mMT of new capacity in 2015 but up to 2.5 mMT of existing capacity is =t risk and could significantly offset
this figure. Nickel, Zinc and Lead prices recovered strongly in the =fternoon but came off towards the close.
