The shares were buoyed by positive data from China showing that factory output had increased to a 19-month high. Investors looking to hedge inflation risks and US Dollar weakness also supported commodity prices. Aluminium and copper prices rose 5.5% and 3.7% respectively. In the precious metals market, gold prices made a new life time high of US$1,191/oz. The key event during the month was the purchase by India's central bank of 200 tonnes of gold from the IMF. While gold prices gained 12.6% in US Dollar terms, the metal was up "only" 10.7% in Euros and 6.9% in South African Rand. In the energy market, oil prices made slight gains over the course of the month, finishing the period up US$77/Bbl (WTI). The natural gas price performed slightly better than oil, gaining 4.4% to US$6.02/mcf (Henry Hub) as investors started to digest the demand implications of the economic data released during the month and factor in the potential for stronger consumption through the northern hemisphere winter. In Sterling terms, mining and energy shares closed the month up 13.4% and 2.5% respectively.
