SELECTED ECONOMIC INDICATORS

INTERNATIONAL COMMODITY PRICE
DEVELOPMENTS


In line with subdued global economic growth
prospects, almost all major commodity prices
were largely depressed, during the month of
October 2019. Prices continued to be adversely
affected by trade tensions, particularly between
China and the US.

Precious Metals

Precious metals were subdued during the period
under review, largely on account of weaker
demand, occasioned by a stronger dollar. In
addition, the announcement by the US that it
would delay imposing a new round of tariffs on
China, amplified investor appetite for equities
and other interest bearing assets.

Against this backdrop, gold prices declined by
1.1% to a monthly average of US$1,495.30/oz,
in October 2019.

Platinum prices also registered a significant
decline, owing to slowing industrial demand1
from the automobile industries, mainly in
Europe. Prices fell by 8.0%, from a monthly
average of US$944.14/oz in the previous month
to US$869.02/oz in October 2019. Figure 1
shows developments in precious metal prices,
for the period from October 2018 to October
2019.

ingredient for emission control mechanisms on diesel
vehicles

Base metals

Base metal prices were generally depressed
during the month under review, largely
reflecting concerns about weak global demand
and trade tensions.

Consequently, nickel prices retreated by 3.3%,
to close the month of October 2019 at an average
of US$17,064.41 per tonne. Copper prices,
however, firmed marginally by 0.1%, from a
monthly average of US$5,750.61 per tonne in
September to US$5,754.33 per tonne in October
2019.

Brent Crude Oil
Crude oil prices significantly slowed down
during the period under review, reflecting the
weaker outlook for global growth and lower
demand for oil. Against this backdrop, crude oil
prices eased by 5.0%, from a monthly average
of US$62.74 per barrel in the previous month to
US$59.60 per barrel in October 2019.

MERCHANDISE TRADE
DEVELOPMENTS

The country’s total merchandise trade stood at
US$884.0 million in October 2019, a 13.0%
increase from US$782.3 million registered in
September 2019. The improvement in monthly
total merchandise trade was on account of a
surge in exports.
Merchandise Exports
Monthly merchandise exports registered a
marked growth, from US$378.4 million in
September 2019 to US$483.3 million in October
2019.
The good performance in exports was spurred
by tobacco, whose exports are cyclical in nature
and normally increase in the fourth quarter.
Accrued stocks over the selling season are
normally shipped later in the year, mostly from
October onwards, to destinations such as China.
Nickel export earnings recorded a 66.3%
increase, from US$95.7 million in the previous
month to US$159.2 million in October 2019, as
shown in Table 1.

The country’s export mix continued to be biased
towards primary commodities. In particular,
only three products, namely: nickel, gold and
flue-cured tobacco contributed about 74.7% of
the country’s export earnings for the month of
October 2019.


2 Nickel ores and concentrates, nickel mattes and
unwrought platinum are components of the platinum
group of metals (PGMs).

The country’s trade balance improved from a
deficit of US$25.3 million in September 2019 to
a surplus of US$82.7 million in October 2019.
This was due to the strong growth in export
earnings from tobacco and nickel.

INFLATION OUTTURN


Monthly Inflation

Monthly inflation stood at 38.8% in October
2019, from 17.7% in September 2019, largely

Month-on-month food inflation surged to 48.4%
in October 2019, from 19.54% in September
2019. Bread and cereals, vegetables, meat, and
oils and fats, accounted for the increase.

Non-food inflation rose from 16.6% in
September 2019 to 32.9% in October 2019. This
was underpinned by price gains in housing,
water, electricity and other utilities, transport,
alcohol and tobacco, clothing and footwear,
among others.
