GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Traders are going long on gold, silver and energy ahead of the Fed meeting and going short on the US dollar. US housing numbers further added to US dollar woes. The Fed is expected to cut interest rates between 0.25% and 0.50%. The markets will be looking forward to the statement and whether Fed explicitly says that it will cut interest rates in March. It is all about interest rates and growth for the Fed and inflation has been put in the backburner. Gold and silver will remain firm until the outcome of the Fed meeting tomorrow. I will be hesitant to go short in copper as LME stocks continue to slide despite expectations of a slowdown in demand.
Gold will also be supported by greater Chinese demand ahead of the Chinese New year on 7th February. Chinese retail investors have started investing in physical gold in a big way and that Chinese demand will have a greater effect on gold prices over the coming years than gold demand from India.
Momentum in all the metals is bullish and it is better to trade with the momentum and sell only when the momentum shows signs of fading. Silver should finally break out and should rise more than gold. The technical picture of gold is overbought while that of silver and copper is neutral to bullish. As and when profit taking comes up gold, silver, copper and crude oil will fall.
GOLD -- FEBRURAY FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT:$922.0
Gold is nearing our price target of $934 and $945. For the day as long as gold holds $915.10 the downside will be limited. Gold has to fall below $915.10 for losses.
SILVER -- MARCH FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT $1676
$1670 price target achieved. Silver targets $1712, $1740 if $1648 and $1628 holds.

copper trend indicater
Copper:
Copper trade on ACCESS is showing weaker prices in recent activity reversing the firmer tone seen during the prior session. Trend indicators have turned from a bullish to a bearish bias and the overall strength of the trend is strong, as indicated by the ADX. Momentum readings are also in bearish territory.
TREND INDICATORS:
Simple Moving Average (10-Day): Recent activity this morning has seen prices cross below this moving average. Also, the slope of the moving average is in a downward slope from the previous session indicating further weakness. As a result the 10-Day simple moving average has a strong bearish bias.
Simple Moving Average (25-Day): Recent activity this morning has seen prices cross below this moving average. However, despite prices trading below the moving average line, the moving average is in an upward slope from the previous session. If prices trade above the moving average then the trend will be clearly established as up. However, this weakness in the price will need to be watched. As a result the 25-Day simple moving average has a weak bullish bias.
Simple Moving Average (50-Day): Recent activity this morning has seen prices trade above this moving average. Also, the slope of the moving average is in an upward slope from the previous session indicating further strength. As a result the 50-Day simple moving average has a strong bullish bias.
ADX: The Average Directional Change (ADX) indicates the strength of a markets underlying trend. A rising ADX is interpreted as building trend strength, while a falling ADX indicates weakness in the underlying trend and the potential of a market reversal. On this market, the 14-Day ADX is rising, while the long term trend, based on a 50-Day moving average, is up. As the ADX has turned higher also this indicates a strengthening in the current upward trend and further gains are possible from here.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS:
MACD: The MACD is in bearish territory.
RSI: The 14-Day RSI is in neutral territory. (RSI is at 47.56). This indicator issues bullish signals when the RSI line dips below the oversold zone (currently set at 20.00); a bearish signal is generated when the RSI rises into the overbought zone (currently set at 80.00). Nevertheless with the RSI at 47.56 the market is somewhat oversold. However, this by itself isn't a strong enough indication to signal a trade. Look for additional evidence of strength from this indicator before getting too bullish here.
VOLATILITY INDICATORS:
Bollinger Bands (20-Day Average +/-1 Standard Deviation): As prices are closer to the bottom band than the top band, the Bollinger Bands are indicating oversold prices. Volatility also appears to be decreasing, as evidenced by a smaller distance between the upper and lower bands over the past few sessions. Despite this oversold condition the market may become more oversold before turning higher. As a result, the market will look for additional strength in prices before turning bullish on this indicator.

A rising ADX is interpreted as building trend strength, while a falling ADX indicates weakness in the underlying trend and the potential of a market reversal. On this market, the 14-Day ADX is falling, while the long term trend, based on a 50-Day moving average, is up. However, the weak ADX indicates that the current trend is deteriorating and may possibly reverse. Look for choppiness ahead.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS:
MACD: MACD has issued a bullish signal, as the signal line has crossed above the True MACD. With the current long term trend, based on a 50 day simple moving average, to the upside, this suggests that prices will continue to rise for a time. Furthermore, the market just put in a 50-Day new high. Look for the upward trend to continue.
RSI: The 14-Day RSI is in neutral territory. (RSI is at 64.20). This indicator issues bullish signals when the RSI line dips below the oversold zone (currently set at 20.00); a bearish signal is generated when the RSI rises into the overbought zone (currently set at 80.00). Nevertheless with the RSI at 64.20 the market is somewhat overbought, but given the 50-Day new high here, greater overbought levels are likely.
VOLATILITY INDICATORS:
Bollinger Bands (20-Day Average +/-1 Standard Deviation): As prices are closer to the bottom band than the top band, the Bollinger Bands are indicating overbought prices. Volatility also appears to be decreasing, as evidenced by a smaller distance between the upper and lower bands over the past few sessions. Despite this overbought condition the market may become more overbought before turning lower. Also, given that we posted a 50-Day new high, the chance for further bullish momentum is higher. As a result, the market will look for additional weakening in prices before turning bearish on this indicator.

Crude oil fell from a one-week high in New York and MCX on speculation that an economic slowdown in the U.S. will spread to oil-consuming countries throughout the world. Oil continued lower below the 90 usd mark, tracking stock markets south as a slowing economic outlook continues to weigh on projections for crude demand.
· MCX Crude Oil registered days low at Rs. 3499 per barrel and was trading with major loss. Market registered days high at Rs. 3554 per barrel.
· Some OPEC members, including Iran's Governor Hossein Kazempour Ardebili, have said the group is unlikely to raise output because there are sufficient supplies in the market and signs of a global economic slowdown mean demand may fall.
· U.S. economic growth probably slowed to 1.2 percent in the fourth quarter as high fuel costs and rising unemployment limited consumer spending, according to a survey of economists. Asian stocks fell for the first time in four days after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said the Japanese economy has probably fallen into a recession.
· Natural gas on Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) retreated from intraday high but has continued to trade positive Monday extending the 3.6 percent rise noted in previous two trading sessions following it settled on Friday at the highest price since Jan 19.
· MCX gas edged up for a third day today tracking the sharp gains on international exchange on Friday. The gains were however kept in a check as Nymex gas slipped to the red zone in the electronic trade session today.
· While temperatures are expected to be warm earlier this week, forecasts released Friday called for colder weather during the 6-to 10-day period in the U.S. Northeast and Midwest which could give a boost to heating demand. According to forecast by AccuWeather.com, as reported by Dow Jones newswires, temperatures are expected to drop into the single digits in New York this weekend and remain in the teens and 20s Fahrenheit during the first week of February.
