The volatility in commodities markets is very high. This is driving some of the day traders away from the market. I have found that some of the traders who used to trade in 1kg of gold in MCX have shifted to 100 grams of gold in MCX due to volatility. Intra day markets move in a certain trend, if one trades against the trend, the stop loss is bound to be hit. Many a times first the stop loss is hit and then the target comes. This is happening on intra day trades. The best way to beat this is (A) Determine the trend (B) Wait for the prices to near the expected buying or selling level (C) Use higher stop losses. When the average intra day volatility in MCX is over Rs.200 it is no use putting a stop loss of Rs.40 on a trade. (D) Do not wait for the target, exit even when prices near the same.
The Federal Reserve ramped up its liquidity support operations again in an effort to reduce money market strains and pre-empt the possibility of funding crises at the year-end or at other stress points. The Fed said it would offer three-month cash loans to banks and create a new options auction facility. It also said it would give investment banks and other primary dealers extended access to emergency cash and loans of Treasury securities until January 30. The options facility is similar to the strategy used by the Fed in 1999 to deal with the risk of a millennium Y2K liquidity crisis. The Fed will auction $50bn of options giving dealers the right but not the obligation to swap illiquid securities for Treasuries over periods of likely funding stress, such as the year-end. In my view the Fed thinks that printing more US dollars can solve the US pain of lower economic growth. This is very positive for gold and other safe havens in the long term. Only investors need to withstand short term volatility.
COPPER -- SEPTEMBER FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $354.0
Copper needs to fall below $349 for another round of selling to $332. Resistance is at $368 and $378.

NYMEX crude intraday
Oil could not sustain Monday’s gains, and fell to $120-levels in NYMEX, the lowest in more than a month.
Light, sweet crude oil for September delivery in the New York Mercantile Exchange traded in the range $125.85 - $120.42, before settling at $121.80 a barrel.
In market influencing news, the President of OPEC Chakib Khelil called oil prices abnormal and said they could pull back to $80 a barrel over the long term if the dollar were to continue to recover and global political worries eased.
Traders are awaiting Wednesday’s EIA report for update on US oil inventories.
Fresh attacks on Nigerian pipelines and comments by Iran's president raised concerns over global oil supplies had lifted the prices above $125 a barrel on Monday.
The President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reportedly said that Iran has more than 5,000 active centrifuges for enriching uranium, keeping the focus on geopolitical concerns. The two-week deadline from world powers for Iran to give a final answer on its nuclear plans will end on Saturday.
A Nigerian militant group claimed on Monday to have attacked a couple of pipelines owned by Royal Dutch Shell.
Oil price had retreated from record high levels in the previous two weeks, weighed down by concerns that slowing economic growth might dampen oil demand. Easing of storm threat also added to the pressure. Tropical Storm Dolly did not have a major impact on oil and natural gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Early this month, OPEC had downwardly revised the world oil-demand growth for 2008 and 2009.
OPEC in its latest monthly report had lowered its forecast for world oil-demand growth for 2008 to 1.03 million barrels a day, which represents a decline of 70,000 barrels from its previous estimate. Global oil demand this year is expected to average 86.81 million barrels a day.
Oil price had touched an all-time high of $147.27 a barrel on 11th July but has corrected from there in the succeeding weeks.
Iran reportedly test fired a number of missiles in the second week of July, including a long-range missile capable of striking Israel, sending a defiant message to the West and strengthening the view that Iran has no intentions of halting its uranium enrichment programme.
The Group of Eight leaders from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States had warned that soaring oil and food prices pose a serious challenge to stable worldwide economic growth. They also called for diversifying sources of energy and further efforts to improve energy efficiency.
Potential supply threats due to geo-political tensions and the Atlantic hurricane season also continue to underpin oil prices.
Weekly Outlook (Crude oil NYMEX)
Continuation of weakness expected below $119.80. Supports are $116.00, $110.00, $105.00. Otherwise expecting recovery; resistances $126.40, $132.00, $139.00.

comex gold intraday
International spot gold traded in the range $933.00 - $913.80 a Troy Ounce and last quoted at $916.85 ($929.90).
The greenback found support in decreasing oil and a Conference Board report that showed a rise in US consumer confidence in July, to 51.9 from a June reading that was revised to 51.0 from a prior estimate of 50.4.
But housing sector worries remained, as Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller home price index revealed that home prices in 20 major US cities have fallen a record 15.8% in the past year, and fell 1% in May compared with April.
Federal Reserve Board Governor Frederic Mishkin had said Monday that recent adverse shocks to the economy - including the financial market turmoil and the sharp increase in the price of oil - may affect the economy for longer than the next three years.
Meanwhile, the US Senate cleared a bill designed to prop up the struggling US housing market and rescue the struggling giant mortgage-buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Saturday. The bill includes billions of dollars in loan guarantees, a tax break for first-time homebuyers and many other provisions.
However worries remained as two more US banks were shut down by federal regulators late Friday, bringing the number of bank failures so far this year to seven.
Dollar had drifted lower on Friday after a report from Commerce Department showed US new home sales in US fell 0.6 % in June, the second straight monthly decline, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 530,000.
Among US data released on Thursday, initial claims for unemployment benefits increased by 34,000 to stand at 406,000 for the week ended July 19, according to the US Labor Department.
The National Association of Realtors reported a 2.6% fall in US existing home sales in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.86 million, the lowest level in 10 years.
The Federal Reserve's Beige Book report of economic conditions last week showed price pressures were intensifying even as growth slowed over the past month.
The US Labor Department reported that the nation’s Consumer Price Index rose 1.1 % in June to an annual pace of 5.0%, underscoring the Fed concerns about rising inflation and sluggish growth.
Meanwhile, the US trade gap narrowed unexpectedly in May. The US Commerce Department reported a 1.2 % decrease in trade deficit in May to $59.8 billion deficit from the revised $60.5 billion in April.
The US Commerce Department in its final revision to GDP estimates said that the economy grew at a slightly faster pace in the first quarter than originally reported. Real GDP was revised to a 1.0% annual rate in the first three months of the year, up from an originally reported reading of 0.9%.
The recent data from various sectors in the US have given rather mixed hints regarding the economy.

Silver has finally stabilized back toward 17.49. Friday’s move toward 17.00 seemed like an overshoot liquidation and it looks like we should continue to recover over the next couple of days towards 18.00. Silver has been particularly weak, so the risk is for another move lower toward 16.50.

Fresh attacks on Nigerian pipelines and comments by Iran's president raised concerns over global oil supplies and lifted the prices above $125 a barrel in NYMEX.
Light, sweet crude oil for September delivery in the New York Mercantile Exchange traded in the range $122.63 - $125.22, before settling at $125.03 a barrel.
The President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reportedly said that Iran has more than 5,000 active centrifuges for enriching uranium, keeping the focus on geopolitical concerns. The two-week deadline from world powers for Iran to give a final answer on its nuclear plans will end on Saturday.
A Nigerian militant group claimed on Monday to have attacked a couple of pipelines owned by Royal Dutch Shell.
Oil price had retreated from record high levels in the previous two weeks, weighed down by concerns that slowing economic growth might dampen oil demand. Easing of storm threat also added to the pressure. Tropical Storm Dolly did not have a major impact on oil and natural gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Early this month, OPEC had downwardly revised the world oil-demand growth for 2008 and 2009.
OPEC in its latest monthly report had lowered its forecast for world oil-demand growth for 2008 to 1.03 million barrels a day, which represents a decline of 70,000 barrels from its previous estimate. Global oil demand this year is expected to average 86.81 million barrels a day.
Oil price had touched an all-time high of $147.27 a barrel on 11th July but has corrected from there in the succeeding weeks.
Iran reportedly test fired a number of missiles in the second week of July, including a long-range missile capable of striking Israel, sending a defiant message to the West and strengthening the view that Iran has no intentions of halting its uranium enrichment programme.
The Group of Eight leaders from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States had warned that soaring oil and food prices pose a serious challenge to stable worldwide economic growth. They also called for diversifying sources of energy and further efforts to improve energy efficiency.
Potential supply threats due to geo-political tensions and the Atlantic hurricane season also continue to underpin oil prices.
Weekly Outlook (Crude oil NYMEX)
Continuation of weakness expected below $119.80. Supports are $116.00, $110.00, $105.00. Otherwise expecting recovery; resistances $126.40, $132.00, $139.00.

comex gold outlook
Gold edged higher yesterday as the dollar weakened against the major currencies and oil price inched up above $125 a barrel in NYMEX.
International spot gold traded in the range $922.35 - $932.80 a Troy Ounce and last quoted at $929.90 ($928.70).
Federal Reserve Board Governor Frederic Mishkin said Monday that recent adverse shocks to the economy - including the financial market turmoil and the sharp increase in the price of oil - may affect the economy for longer than the next three years.
Meanwhile, the US Senate cleared a bill designed to prop up the struggling US housing market and rescue the struggling giant mortgage-buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Saturday. The bill includes billions of dollars in loan guarantees, a tax break for first-time homebuyers and many other provisions.
However worries remained as two more US banks were shut down by federal regulators late Friday, bringing the number of bank failures so far this year to seven.
Dollar had drifted lower on Friday after a report from Commerce Department showed US new home sales in US fell 0.6 % in June, the second straight monthly decline, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 530,000.
Among US data released on Thursday, initial claims for unemployment benefits increased by 34,000 to stand at 406,000 for the week ended July 19, according to the US Labor Department.
The National Association of Realtors reported a 2.6% fall in US existing home sales in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.86 million, the lowest level in 10 years.
The Federal Reserve's Beige Book report of economic conditions last week showed price pressures were intensifying even as growth slowed over the past month.
Also according to the release by Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight on Tuesday, US home prices fell 0.3 percent on a seasonally-adjusted basis from April to May. For the 12 months ending in May, the prices fell 4.8 percent.
The US Labor Department reported that the nation’s Consumer Price Index rose 1.1 % in June to an annual pace of 5.0%, underscoring the Fed concerns about rising inflation and sluggish growth.
Meanwhile, the US trade gap narrowed unexpectedly in May. The US Commerce Department reported a 1.2 % decrease in trade deficit in May to $59.8 billion deficit from the revised $60.5 billion in April.
The US Commerce Department in its final revision to GDP estimates said that the economy grew at a slightly faster pace in the first quarter than originally reported. Real GDP was revised to a 1.0% annual rate in the first three months of the year, up from an originally reported reading of 0.9%.
The recent data from various sectors in the US have given rather mixed hints regarding the economy.
Weekly Outlook (Spot Gold)
Recovery expected above $936.60. Resistances are $943, $950, $959; supports $923, $915, $908.
Last day DGCX Gold Aug traded in the range $923.10 – $933.00 and closed at $931.20 ($929.60).

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
The Bush administration projected the U.S. budget deficit will soar to a record of nearly half a trillion dollars in fiscal 2009 as a housing-led economic slowdown cuts into government revenues. The new report said the budget deficit would fall to $178 billion in 2010, and surpluses would emerge in 2012. However, the deficit projections did not include the full amount of funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan or costly tax law changes, and acknowledged it would be a "challenge" to reach surpluses in 2012. A prudent overseas investor will not buy into US government instruments. Precious metals will benefit as a result of the same.
The US financial crisis is spreading from subprime borrowers to wealthier consumers, with evidence mounting that more affluent people are failing to pay their mortgages and credit card balances. Growing concerns over the financial health of richer borrowers are prompting banks and card issuers to tighten lending practices in moves that could further dampen consumer confidence and spending. More positive news for gold, that is all I can say.
Lead, zinc and other base metals will remain firm on reduced Chinese production capacity and firm global demand. Nickel should bottom out soon. Long term investors should invest in Nickel as the risk to return ratio is in favour of the buyers.
COPPER -- SEPTEMBER FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $354.0
200 day MA around $354 is the key support. Resistance is at 100 day MA around $378. Falls below $354 will result in $347 and $339.

Gold reversed gains yesterday and closed $20 lower as the dollar bounced back and oil price fell.
International spot gold traded in the range $975.95 - $942.80 a Troy Ounce and last quoted at $945.00 ($965.30).
Dollar recovered on supportive comments from top officials - Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank President Charles Plosser and US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
But according to the release by Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, US home prices fell 0.3 percent on a seasonally-adjusted basis from April to May. For the 12 months ending in May, the prices fell 4.8 percent.
US Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators, a forecast of future economic activity, showed a decline of 0.1% in June. The result for May, which had been estimated to have risen 0.1%, was revised to a decline of 0.2%. The index has slipped 0.9 percent for the six months ending in June.
Oil price fell after worries that storms may disrupt oil supplies in the Gulf of Mexico eased. According to latest reports, Tropical Storm Dolly is not expected to have a major impact on oil and natural gas operations in the Gulf.
A smaller-than-expected quarterly loss from Citigroup Inc, the largest bank in US, last week had slightly eased worries about the US financial sector.
Weekly data from the US Labor Department showed first-time claims for state unemployment benefits rose 18,000 to 366,000 in the week ended July 12, but the four-week average of initial claims fell 4,500 to 376,500. Continuing claims fell to 3.12 million for the week ended July 5, down 81,000. The four-week average of continuing jobless claims increased by 16,500 to 3.14 million, the highest level since February 2004.
According to the data released by the Federal Reserve on last Wednesday, output of US factories, mines and utilities increased 0.5% in June, following a 0.7% drop in April and a 0.2% decline in May. But for the quarter as a whole, industrial production was down at a 3.1% annual rate.
The US Labor Department reported that the nation’s Consumer Price Index rose 1.1 % in June to an annual pace of 5.0%, underscoring the Fed concerns about rising inflation and sluggish growth.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke had said last week that the US economy is facing significant risks to growth. He also urged that Fed must remain particularly alert to any sign that inflation is getting out of control.
The US government's rescue plan for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac heightened fears about the financial market. On July 13, the government had announced bailout for the two GSE’s (Govt. Sponsored Enterprises).
Meanwhile, the US trade gap narrowed unexpectedly in May. The US Commerce Department reported a 1.2 % decrease in trade deficit in May to $59.8 billion deficit from the revised $60.5 billion in April.
The unemployment rate in US remained at a four-year high of 5.5% in June, according to the release by the Labor Department.

Crude Outlook July 17, 2008
17 July 2008 12:38:18
Oil extended Tuesday’s sharp fall, making a combined loss of over $10 on closing basis in two days, the biggest two-day drop in more than 17 years. A surprise rise in US crude inventories, concerns that slowing economic growth might dampen oil demand and OPEC’s downward revision of world oil-demand growth for 2008 and 2009 affected oil.
Light, sweet crude oil for August delivery in the New York Mercantile Exchange traded in the range $139.30 - $132.00, before settling at $135.10 a barrel.
US crude inventories rose 3 million barrels to 296.9 million barrels in the week ended July 11, according to the weekly inventory report by US Energy Information Administration released on Wednesday.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in his testimony to the Senate Banking Committee said Tuesday that the US economy is facing significant risks to growth. According to a report to Congress submitted along with Bernanke's testimony, the Fed said that FOMC members were more uncomfortable about the inflation outlook at their June meeting than they had been at any point this year.
OPEC in its latest monthly report lowered its forecast for world oil-demand growth for 2008 to 1.03 million barrels a day, which represents a decline of 70,000 barrels from its previous estimate. Global oil demand this year is expected to average 86.81 million barrels a day.
Oil price had touched an all-time high of $147.27 a barrel on 11th July, and had been hovering near the level supported by geopolitical tensions in oil-rich countries such as Nigeria and Iran. A five-day strike started on Monday by workers of Brazil’s state-owned oil company Petrobras, which is expected to halt oil production of about 400,000 barrels a day, also supported oil price.
Iran reportedly test fired a number of missiles last week, including a long-range missile capable of striking Israel, sending a defiant message to the West and strengthening the view that Iran has no intentions of halting its uranium enrichment programme.
The Group of Eight leaders from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States had warned that soaring oil and food prices pose a serious challenge to stable worldwide economic growth. They also called for diversifying sources of energy and further efforts to improve energy efficiency.
Potential supply threats due to geo-political tensions and the Atlantic hurricane season also continue to underpin oil prices.
Weekly Outlook (Crude oil NYMEX)
Continuation of uptrend expected above $147.50. Resistances $149.70, $154.80, $160.00; supports $142.60, $139.80, $132.00.

Gold Outlook July 17, 2008
17 July 2008 12:40:23
A better-than-expected industrial output data from the US and an unexpectedly large increase in US inflation helped the greenback to recover moderately.
According to the data released by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday, output of US factories, mines and utilities increased 0.5% in June, following a 0.7% drop in April and a 0.2% decline in May. But for the quarter as a whole, industrial production was down at a 3.1% annual rate.
The US Labor Department reported that the nation’s Consumer Price Index rose 1.1 % in June to an annual pace of 5.0%, underscoring the Fed concerns about rising inflation and sluggish growth.
Meanwhile, the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index fell below its previous record low of 18 in June to a new record low of 16 in July, indicating a fall in builder confidence in the US market for newly built single-family homes, for the third consecutive month.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke had said Tuesday that the US economy is facing significant risks to growth. He also urged that Fed must remain particularly alert to any sign that inflation is getting out of control.
The US government's rescue plan for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac heightened fears about the financial market. On July 13, the government had announced bailout for the two GSE’s (Govt. Sponsored Enterprises).
Oil price continued the previous day’s sharp fall, making a combined loss of over $10 on closing basis in two days, the biggest two-day drop in more than 17 years. A surprise rise in US crude inventories, concerns that slowing economic growth might dampen oil demand and OPEC’s downward revision of world oil-demand growth for 2008 and 2009 affected oil.
Meanwhile, the US trade gap narrowed unexpectedly in May. The US Commerce Department reported a 1.2 % decrease in trade deficit in May to $59.8 billion deficit from the revised $60.5 billion in April.
In economic data released last week, the US Labor Department said initial jobless claims in US fell by 58,000, the largest one-week decline in more than two years, to 346,000 for the week ended July 5. The four-week average of initial claims recorded a decrease of 10,000 from the previous week to 379,250. However, continuing claims rose by 91,000 to reach 3.2 million for the week ended June 28. The four-week average of continuing claims also rose, up 16,500 to 3.13 million, the highest since 2004.
The unemployment rate in US remained at a four-year high of 5.5% in June, according to the release by the Labor Department.
Meanwhile, the US Commerce Department in its final revision to GDP estimates said that the economy grew at a slightly faster pace in the first quarter than originally reported. Real GDP was revised to a 1.0% annual rate in the first three months of the year, up from an originally reported reading of 0.9%.
The US Consumer Confidence fell in June to a 16-year low. According to Conference Board, June consumer confidence index fell to 50.4 from a reading of 58.1 in May.
The recent data from various sectors in the US have given rather mixed hints regarding the economy.

A better-than-expected industrial output data from the US and an unexpectedly large increase in US inflation helped the greenback to recover moderately.
According to the data released by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday, output of US factories, mines and utilities increased 0.5% in June, following a 0.7% drop in April and a 0.2% decline in May. But for the quarter as a whole, industrial production was down at a 3.1% annual rate.
The US Labor Department reported that the nation’s Consumer Price Index rose 1.1 % in June to an annual pace of 5.0%, underscoring the Fed concerns about rising inflation and sluggish growth.
Meanwhile, the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index fell below its previous record low of 18 in June to a new record low of 16 in July, indicating a fall in builder confidence in the US market for newly built single-family homes, for the third consecutive month.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke had said Tuesday that the US economy is facing significant risks to growth. He also urged that Fed must remain particularly alert to any sign that inflation is getting out of control.
The US government's rescue plan for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac heightened fears about the financial market. On July 13, the government had announced bailout for the two GSE’s (Govt. Sponsored Enterprises).
Oil price continued the previous day’s sharp fall, making a combined loss of over $10 on closing basis in two days, the biggest two-day drop in more than 17 years. A surprise rise in US crude inventories, concerns that slowing economic growth might dampen oil demand and OPEC’s downward revision of world oil-demand growth for 2008 and 2009 affected oil.
Meanwhile, the US trade gap narrowed unexpectedly in May. The US Commerce Department reported a 1.2 % decrease in trade deficit in May to $59.8 billion deficit from the revised $60.5 billion in April.
In economic data released last week, the US Labor Department said initial jobless claims in US fell by 58,000, the largest one-week decline in more than two years, to 346,000 for the week ended July 5. The four-week average of initial claims recorded a decrease of 10,000 from the previous week to 379,250. However, continuing claims rose by 91,000 to reach 3.2 million for the week ended June 28. The four-week average of continuing claims also rose, up 16,500 to 3.13 million, the highest since 2004.
The unemployment rate in US remained at a four-year high of 5.5% in June, according to the release by the Labor Department.
Meanwhile, the US Commerce Department in its final revision to GDP estimates said that the economy grew at a slightly faster pace in the first quarter than originally reported. Real GDP was revised to a 1.0% annual rate in the first three months of the year, up from an originally reported reading of 0.9%.
The US Consumer Confidence fell in June to a 16-year low. According to Conference Board, June consumer confidence index fell to 50.4 from a reading of 58.1 in May.
The recent data from various sectors in the US have given rather mixed hints regarding the economy.

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
The US dollar – crude oil - gold relationship is dictating the metals markets. Base metals fell as Chinese demand remains low before the Olympics. Unless physical demand for gold, silver or any other metal rises along with the rise in prices, there will always be fear of a correction or a slide from the highs. Investment demand can change overnight also. Gold, physical demand is virtually zero. Platinum has also fallen on lack of demand. The lagging effects of higher crude oil prices have now started showing their colours.
Some of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds are seeking to scale back their exposure to the US dollar in a sign of global concern about the currency. One big sovereign fund in the Gulf has cut its dollar-denominated holdings from more than 80 per cent a year ago to less than 60 per cent, while China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) has been looking to strike deals with private equity firms in Europe as a part of a strategy to reduce its dollar holdings. Sovereign wealth funds have played a leading role in helping to recapitalise faltering US banks, but have lost money so far on such investments. Continuing market turbulence has further shaken their faith in US policy and policymakers. The current decline of the US dollar will have long term effects by way of declining share of the US dollar in global trade and financial services.
COPPER -- SEPTEMBER FUTURE
$354 is the key support. Resistance $378. A fall below $354 will result in $347 and $339.

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Volatility in crude oil started to increase. Yesterday’s boom to bust of crude oil by $10 in less than ten minutes speaks for itself. In gold, silver and copper traders have gotten used to high volatility but crude oil is the new entrant. Managing volatility is the key. Stop losses are useless. Day traders need to buy at market price and sell at market price to limit losses. Bernanke and Bush did not say anything extra ordinary on the US economy. It’s only that traders and fund managers used the same book profits which resulted in a technical sell off. The trend for the US dollar is bearish. There is no doubt over the same. However if the outlook for the Eurozone economy turns cloudy (with continued fall in German consumer confidence and business sentiment), the greenback will benefit. The yen gained on expectations that the bank of Japan will raise interest rates.
Zinc pared most of its gains on doubts whether Chinese production cuts will have any impact on supplies. The current rise however will prevent traders from going too short at lower prices. The fear of a sharp rise will be in their mind. Fund managers invest only when anything is fundamentally bullish. The fundamental story for any commodity does not change overnight while the technical picture can change every hour. Zinc, it’s a fight between fundamental traders and technical traders. Crude oil has a lagging effect. Higher crude oil prices will slowdown the world. If the world slows down why should base metals rise?
We have the US inflation numbers today. At the moment it’s just a technical correction in gold, silver and crude oil. US weekly crude oil numbers will be the key. Crude oil traders will be hesitant to go short heavily as the Iranian risk premium is not over. We continue with a buy on dips strategy as long as key technical supports are holding. Gold August key support $956 and $942. Silver September key support $1848. Copper September resistance $379.10. As long as these prices are held/broken the upside/downside will be limited. As and when prices near the same it should be used to go long/short (as the case may be).
PLATINUM OCTOBER -- INTRA DAY PIVOT $2055.0
Platinum needs to break $2055 to be in a bullish zone. Till it does not break $2055, there will be sellers.
MCX CARBON CREDIT --NOVEMBER (price in Indian Rupees)
Failure to break 1605 will result in a fall to 1542 and 1512.

DGCX Crude Outlook July 10, 2008
10 July 2008 11:40:26
Oil prices failed to hold on to early-day gains and closed relatively flat, despite escalating tensions in the Middle East with Iran’s test firing of missiles, and a sharp drop in US crude inventories.
Iran test-fired nine missiles on Wednesday, including a new long-range missile capable of striking Israel.
Light, sweet crude oil for August delivery in the New York Mercantile Exchange had traded as high as $138.28, before settling at $135.62 a barrel.
US Crude supplies declined by 5.9 million barrels to 293.9 million for the week ended July 4, according to the latest release by US Energy Department on Wednesday.
The US Energy Information Administration lowered OPEC oil output forecast in 2008 to 32.32 million barrels per day, down 40,000 barrels per day from the agency's prior forecast in June.
The oil market had witnessed one of the deepest single-day falls in the recent times on Tuesday, as profit booking from the higher levels continued amid warning from G8 leaders.
The Group of Eight leaders from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States warned on Tuesday that soaring oil and food prices pose a serious challenge to stable worldwide economic growth.
They also called for diversifying sources of energy and further efforts to improve energy efficiency.
Iran reportedly submitted a response to offers of negotiation on its nuclear program. Iranian Government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elhma said on Sunday that Tehran was ready to negotiate on its programme but indicated it would not halt uranium enrichment.
Crude oil had recorded a fresh all-time high on July 3rd, underpinned by short-term supply concerns due to geo-political tensions in the Middle East and Nigeria and a drop in US crude inventories.
Comments from the OPEC President and a threat from Libya to cut its crude output worsened the supply worries.
Chakib Khelil, president of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, said he believes oil prices could rise to between $150 and $170 a barrel this summer.
Libya's most senior oil official Shokri Ghanem said that he was studying the possibility of reducing production in response to a bill before the US Congress that would empower the Justice Department to sue members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries for limiting oil supplies.
At a meeting of oil producers and consumers, Saudi Arabia said it would raise its daily production by 200,000 barrels in July, in addition to the increase of 300,000 barrels a day which had been announced in May. This would make the total production from the country 9.7 million barrels a day.
But frequent militant attacks on Nigerian oil facilities continue to pose threats to supply from the oil-rich Niger Delta.
The oil cartel OPEC in its latest monthly oil market report had cut its estimate for 2008 global oil demand to an increase of 1.1 million barrels a day, from an increase of 1.17 million barrels projected earlier. The total global oil consumption was revised to 86.88 million barrels a day from the previous estimate of 86.95 million barrels a day.
Earlier, the International Energy Agency had lowered its forecast for average global oil product demand in 2008 to 86.8 million barrels a day, down 80,000 barrels a day from its previous estimate.
Potential supply threats due to geo-political tensions and the Atlantic hurricane season also continue to underpin oil prices.
The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1st. Arthur, the first Atlantic storm of the season had forced the closure of two export terminals in Mexico early in June, before weakening to a tropical depression creating heavy rains in the Gulf of Mexico.

Oil prices failed to hold on to early-day gains and closed relatively flat, despite escalating tensions in the Middle East with Iran’s test firing of missiles, and a sharp drop in US crude inventories.
Iran test-fired nine missiles on Wednesday, including a new long-range missile capable of striking Israel.
Light, sweet crude oil for August delivery in the New York Mercantile Exchange had traded as high as $138.28, before settling at $135.62 a barrel.
US Crude supplies declined by 5.9 million barrels to 293.9 million for the week ended July 4, according to the latest release by US Energy Department on Wednesday.
The US Energy Information Administration lowered OPEC oil output forecast in 2008 to 32.32 million barrels per day, down 40,000 barrels per day from the agency's prior forecast in June.
The oil market had witnessed one of the deepest single-day falls in the recent times on Tuesday, as profit booking from the higher levels continued amid warning from G8 leaders.
The Group of Eight leaders from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States warned on Tuesday that soaring oil and food prices pose a serious challenge to stable worldwide economic growth.
They also called for diversifying sources of energy and further efforts to improve energy efficiency.
Iran reportedly submitted a response to offers of negotiation on its nuclear program. Iranian Government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elhma said on Sunday that Tehran was ready to negotiate on its programme but indicated it would not halt uranium enrichment.
Crude oil had recorded a fresh all-time high on July 3rd, underpinned by short-term supply concerns due to geo-political tensions in the Middle East and Nigeria and a drop in US crude inventories.
Comments from the OPEC President and a threat from Libya to cut its crude output worsened the supply worries.
Chakib Khelil, president of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, said he believes oil prices could rise to between $150 and $170 a barrel this summer.
Libya's most senior oil official Shokri Ghanem said that he was studying the possibility of reducing production in response to a bill before the US Congress that would empower the Justice Department to sue members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries for limiting oil supplies.
At a meeting of oil producers and consumers, Saudi Arabia said it would raise its daily production by 200,000 barrels in July, in addition to the increase of 300,000 barrels a day which had been announced in May. This would make the total production from the country 9.7 million barrels a day.
But frequent militant attacks on Nigerian oil facilities continue to pose threats to supply from the oil-rich Niger Delta.
The oil cartel OPEC in its latest monthly oil market report had cut its estimate for 2008 global oil demand to an increase of 1.1 million barrels a day, from an increase of 1.17 million barrels projected earlier. The total global oil consumption was revised to 86.88 million barrels a day from the previous estimate of 86.95 million barrels a day.
Earlier, the International Energy Agency had lowered its forecast for average global oil product demand in 2008 to 86.8 million barrels a day, down 80,000 barrels a day from its previous estimate.
Potential supply threats due to geo-political tensions and the Atlantic hurricane season also continue to underpin oil prices.
The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1st. Arthur, the first Atlantic storm of the season had forced the closure of two export terminals in Mexico early in June, before weakening to a tropical depression creating heavy rains in the Gulf of Mexico.

DGCX Gold Outlook July 10, 2008
10 July 2008 11:47:24
Gold pared some of the early week losses and closed moderately higher yesterday as the dollar weakened against the major currencies. Safe haven appeal of the bullion was also boosted by Iran’s test firing of missiles yesterday, escalating tensions in the Middle East.
International spot gold traded in the range $915.60 - $928.75 and last quoted at $927.75 ($919.50).
Iran test-fired nine missiles on Wednesday, including a new long-range missile capable of striking Israel.
Weak pending home sales data from the US released on Tuesday also weighed on the greenback. The National Association of Realtors' seasonally adjusted index of pending sales for existing homes fell 4.7% to 84.7 from an upwardly revised April reading of 88.9.
The dollar had firmed against major currencies on Tuesday, finding support in comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who said the Fed may extend its lending facilities for troubled financial institutions into next year.
In a widely expected decision, the European Central Bank had raised its key interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.25 percent last week.
The unemployment rate in US remained at a four-year high of 5.5% in June, according to the release by the Labor Department. At the same time, US payrolls in June fell by 62,000. The payrolls have now declined in all six months this year for a total job loss of 438,000.
Indicating better-than-expected manufacturing activity in the US, the Institute for Supply Management’s factory index rose to 50.2% in June from 49.6% in May.
The National Association of Realtors had reported that sales of existing single-family homes and condominiums edged up by 2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.99 million units in May.
But the sale of new US single-family homes tumbled 2.5% in May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 512,000, according to the Commerce Department. Compared with a year earlier, the new-home sales were down 40.3%.
Meanwhile, the US Commerce Department in its final revision to GDP estimates said last week that the economy grew at a slightly faster pace in the first quarter than originally reported. Real GDP was revised to a 1.0% annual rate in the first three months of the year, up from an originally reported reading of 0.9%.
The US Consumer Confidence fell in June to a 16-year low. According to Conference Board, June consumer confidence index fell to 50.4 from a reading of 58.1 in May.
The US trade deficit had widened 7.8% in April to a seasonally adjusted $60.9 billion from $56.5 billion in March, according to the report by US Commerce Department. The growing deficit was driven by a surge in crude oil imports, which eclipsed a significant gain in the nation’s exports.
The recent data from various sectors in the US have given rather mixed hints regarding the economy.
Official data that showed a 10.1 percent decrease in South Africa’s gold production in April 2008, compared to the corresponding month in the previous year, supported the bullion.
Oil prices failed to hold on to early-day gains amid volatility. In the G8 summit, leaders had warned that soaring oil and food prices pose a serious challenge to stable worldwide economic growth.
Weekly Outlook (Spot Gold)
Expecting weakness below $925. Supports are $918, $906, $885; resistances $936, $947, $955.
Last day DGCX Gold Aug traded in the range $918.50 – $930.30 and closed at $928.70 ($922.40).

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Base metals rose sharply. Lead and Zinc were the star performers on valued based buying and short covering. Copper fell but recovered a sharp pull back. Fund managers seem to have started investing in zinc and lead which if it continues could result in the resumption of a bull run. It’s too early to comment whether zinc and lead have bottomed out, but we need to watch until next week to get a clear picture. South Korea plans to triple its base metal reserve stockpiles to ease tight domestic supply as manufacturers struggle to secure raw materials due to soaring commodity prices. South Korea plans to raise reserve stockpiles on 12 key products, including copper, aluminium and nickel, from 19 to 60 days worth of supply. It will also expand stockpiles to cover 10 more materials. If other countries follow South Korea then base metals will zoom in 2009 and zinc, lead and Nickel, the worst performers so far this year, should be worth investing in the long term.
Japan should start a sovereign wealth fund (SWF) with about $33 billion in assets, using interest earned on its $1 trillion of foreign reserves, said Takatoshi Ito, a member of a government advisory committee. The fund would invest in higher-yielding assets overseas including equities. It needs to be set up ``as soon as possible'' to avoid exchange-rate fluctuations that may hurt the nation's reserves, he added. Forget hedge funds and focus on what the SWF’s are doing. SWF investment could be for strategic purposes which over the coming years (after 2010) may lead to protectionism. Positive news for gold.
Financial Technologies India on Wednesday unveiled plans to open a new commodity derivatives exchange in Singapore by early next year. Financial Technologies, which already operates commodities exchanges, founded India’s Multi Commodities Exchange and is a co-owner of the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange. The company said its new venture, to be called the Singapore Mercantile Exchange (SMX), would provide a platform for futures and options trading on precious metals, base metals, energy, agricultural commodities, currency pairs, carbon credits and commodity indices. More commodity exchanges in the world imply higher commodity prices in the long term. This is simple logic. Long term investors should stay invested in commodities.

Gold suppot at 903$

Gold’s continued decline confirms our short term bearish trend reversal pattern as the metal breached (but did not close under) its 100-day moving average, a level that continues to provide short term support. The repeated testing of this level makes us a bit concerned about gold’s ability to hold its own in the short term. Should it break through the 917.30 mark with conviction, we may se a return to $880 in the near future. Now support for the gold MCX is seen at 12743 and below could see a test of 12612. Resistance is now likely to be seen at 13033, a move above could see prices testing 13192.
Trading Ideas:
TRADING RANGE IS 12612-13192.
SELL GOLD @ 12870-900 SL 12955 TGT 12830-786-745-710.

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
It’s more of a US dollar depreciation story and interest rates for metals and energies than anything else. As long as US dollar continues to fall, crude oil will remain firm and gold will find investment demand on dips. European central bank will likely raise interest rates by a quarter today and will signal on more inflation controlling measures to come in the future. This can result in euro/usd breaking the 1.60 mark today. Unless the US June payrolls comes in positive we expect the US dollar to trade with a weaker bias for the rest of the week. However considering the present situation, only the brave hearted will short on the long weekend.
Copper has been gaining as more and more mine workers in Peru join the strike. Zinc, Nickel and lead have fallen instead of rising. Here the fundamental comes up. Zinc and Nickel are not bullish hence lack of investment interest and fall in prices. Further copper is considered as a hedge against a US dollar decline whereas zinc and lead are not. In 2008 there has been more or less a direct relationship between copper prices and the US dollar. Copper and other commodities are about investment demand in 2008. Fund manager always go long they never short sell. Copper and other commodities will be dictated by investment demand for the remaining six months of the year. LME Copper has a possibility of nearing $10,000 mark if it floats over $9,000 for two consecutive weeks.
NYMEX CRUDE OIL -- FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $147.60
Bearish below $138. As long as crude oil holds $138 it will target $147 and $152.
PLATINUM OCTOBER
Intra day bullish over $2056 targeting $2096 and $2132.
MCX CARBON CREDIT --NOVEMBER (price in Indian Rupees)
1552 price target achieved. Carbon credit targets 1600-1650 by next week as long as 1516 and 1488 holds. Volatility will rise with rise in prices.

Gold moves up with rising oil values
New York gold prices were off to the (oil-led) races on this, the first day of July, with a near 2% gain, quoted at $942 per ounce amid rising oil values ($142.00 up $2.00) and a declining dollar (down .17 to 72.28 on the index).
Stock futures pointed to a weak opening today, and they indeed followed through on the signal, with the Dow dropping 126 points, as analysts pondered whether last Friday was a bottom, or the beginning of a hairy bear market. Auto sales came in quite weak, denting the Dow further, with Ford's sales slipping 28% and Toyota's (!) dropping over 21% as US buyers stayed away from dealer lots, hoping that, somehow, they can also stay away from the corner gas pump. SUVs anyone? Road trips this summer?
Gas stations in parts of the US are reportedly taking credit cards up-front and requiring all kinds of ID in order to prevent some from driving off with a $100 tankful of gas. Locking gas caps are making Pep Boys a fortune suddenly.
Silver added a more robust 4.3%, rising 76 cents to $18.16 while platinum gained $13 to $2064 and palladium rose $5to $465 per ounce. Also helping gold in this session, were reports that the ECB completed sales of 30 tonnes of bullion as of yesterday, and that it does not intend to sell any more ahead of September's conclusion of the current sales year window.
The ECB's imminent rate hike decision was playing into the euro's hand today, as the currency rose to 1.58 against the greenback.

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Another workforce reduction news from the US economy as Starbucks says that it will close 600 U.S. coffee shops and eliminate as many as 12,000 jobs. The reductions amount to 7 percent of its workforce worldwide. The cuts include full- and part-time employees and will come over the next nine months. Such news only gives further evidence of the embedded slowdown in US economy. The recovery will not be at the same pace as may of us expect. However the US dollar will not get the same thrashing as we had in the first quarter.
Eurozone, UK and other nations are getting affected due to the continued rise in prices of essentials. Central banks in these regions may raise interest rates in the short term to control inflation but will reverse the same as higher interest rates affects consumption and growth. In the medium term the US dollar is headed for a showdown against the major currencies. The prime reason being shift in central bank focus and their preference on growth versus inflation. The US dollar will emerge a winner in the long term (8-12 months) while in the short term (2-3 months) the US dollar may loose.
Geopolitical uncertainties have resurfaced with fears that Israel may attack Iran’s nuclear installations before US president George Bush leaves his office in January. Crude oil and gold are rising over these uncertainties. The current situation is similar to 2006. In 2006 gold rose to $732 and fell to $546. Thereafter in July, 2006 we had the Iran-Hezbollah tension and gold once again rose to $692 only to fall to $560. If history will repeat itself remains to be seen. The difference between 2006 and 2008 is that of slowdown in global growth and energy prices.
PLATINUM OCTOBER -- INTRA DAY PIVOT $2055.0
As long as $2038 holds, platinum will target $2200+. In the short term.
MCX CARBON CREDIT --NOVEMBER (price in Indian Rupees)
Carbon Credit target 1508 was nearly achieved. For the day as long as 1488-1492 holds it will target 1534 and 1552.

Market action in Gold, Oil continues
New York gold's last trading session of the month and the quarter ended with a small loss in the August contract and spot prices were quoted near $926 at last check after a rally that stopped short of $940 following small gains in the US dollar (up to near 72.50 on the index) and an evaporation of most of the early gains that crude oil exhibited in early going.
After climbing to new peaks above $143 black gold eased back to $140.75 retaining only a half dollar advance on the day. US military officials downplayed the potential for Iran to do anything significant in the Straits of Hormuz as far as oil flows are concerned, even if a pre-emptive US or Israeli strike befalls on its nuclear installations.
Stocks were fairly quiet, gaining less than 50 points on the day. Thus far, the month and quarter-end book squaring activity expected for the day has yielded less little in terms of volumes and volatility. Silver lost 6 cents to trade at $17.42 while platinum was still ahead $12 at $2054 (primarily on Lonmin's smelter repairs shutdown) but palladium lost $5 a5 $461 per ounce. The gold ETF made a rather lukewarm debut in Tokyo and will -for the time being- still remain a US institutional and geographic concentration phenomenon.
Dollar policy, interest rate trends, and energy markets unfolding remain at the epicenter of the mid-year markets' pivot points (as they have indeed pretty much dominated the headlines of the first half of 2008) and uncertainty is still part of the financial and market fabric as we head for the second half. The trio may range-trade for a short while yet, but course changes are very likely in the making as we cover the current action.

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Traders will be gearing for super Thursday. We have the European central bank meeting and US June non farm payrolls. They will be taking their positions accordingly. Thursdays close can set the trend for rest of July for all metals, energies and the US dollar. As crude oil prices rise we continue to hear voices all over. The US treasury secretary says that they believe in a stronger US dollar. I wonder whether its the same rhetoric as his predecessor John Snow. Whenever John Snow had his comments on reaffirming a stronger US dollar, the dollar index would start to fall in the past. Chinese premiere Wen Jiabao urged the United States to stabilize the dollar. These comments will continue till crude oil prices rise.
Commodities including all metals and energies are rising due to lack of alternate investments in developed markets. Global hedge funds including US state run pension funds are heavily invested in commodities. Global inventories are being manipulated. Fund managers are buying metals like copper, gold, silver and platinum and storing them in private warehouses. When most of the fund managers do the same then global inventories start to fall and these metals rise. This is happening. For commodity prices to fall two conditions must be met. (A) There has to new alternate sources of investments or equity markets rise (B) Global economic uncertainty must fade. Till then commodity prices will remain firm.
SILVER -- SEPTEMBER FUTURE
Silver targets $1930 and $2132 in July as long as $1585-$1600 zone holds on daily closing basis.
