It seems that dollar is bottoming around these level, may be, there is perceived notion that Fed will stop cutting rates from now on. This could lead to unwinding of the speculative trade in the commodities, which has started; case in point, we saw crude falling around 10% from $120/bbl and gold around 20% from level of $1033/ounce.

India will benefit if commodity prices cool off from here as we are net importers and could see some profit booking in countries like Brazil, Russia. Remeber, Brazil is trading at a new all-time high due to huge surge seen in commodities and S&P upgrade the country to investment grade credit rating. Commodities contribute nearly 50-70% in Brazil, Russia against 25% in India.
