April gold closed higher on Tuesday and posted a new contract high close. Today's high-range close sets the stage for a steady
to higher opening on Wednesday. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways
to higher prices are possible near-term. If March extends this month's rally, monthly resistance crossing at 978.50 is the next
upside target. Closes below the reaction low crossing at 899.50 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. First
resistance is last Thursday's high crossing at 958.40 then monthly resistance crossing at 978.50. First support is the 10-day
moving average crossing at 929.60. Second support is the reaction low crossing at 899.50.
March silver closed sharply higher on Tuesday and posted a new contract high as it extended this winter's rally. The high-range
close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Wednesday. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to
bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If March extends this winter's rally, monthly resistance
crossing at 19.870 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 17.281 are needed to confirm
that a short-term top has been posted. First resistance is today's high crossing at 18.865 then monthly resistance crossing at
19.870. First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 17.716 then the 20-day moving average crossing at 17.281.
March copper closed higher on Tuesday and closed above October's high crossing at 375.00. The high-range close sets the
stage for a steady to higher opening on Wednesday. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought and are turning bearish hinting that
a double top with October's high might be forming. If March extends this winter's rally, weekly resistance crossing at 387.00 is
the next upside target. Closes below the 10-day moving average crossing at 367.10 would confirm that a short-term top has
been posted. First resistance is Monday's high crossing at 384.95. Second resistance is weekly resistance crossing at 387.00.
First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 367.10. Second support is the 20-day moving average crossing at
352.19.
April crude oil closed higher on Tuesday as it extends this month's rally above the previous reaction high crossing at 98.50. The
high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Wednesday. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but are
turning neutral to bullish again signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If April extends this month's
rally above January's high, upside targets will be hard to project now that April has traded into uncharted territory. Closes
below the 10-day moving average crossing at 97.36 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. First resistance is
today's high crossing at 101.15. First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 97.37. Second support is the 20-day
moving average crossing at 93.86.
April Henry natural gas closed higher on Tuesday and closed above the previous contract high crossing at 9.222. Profit taking
tempered early gains and the mid-range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Wednesday. Stochastics and the RSI are
overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If March extends this
month's rally, monthly resistance crossing at 9.820 is the next upside target. Closes below the 10-day moving average crossing
at 8.883 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. First resistance is Monday's high crossing at 9.391 then monthly
resistance crossing at 9.820. First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 8.883. Second support is the 20-day
moving average crossing at 8.478.

Comex Gold
International spot gold traded in the range $926.40 - $948.50.
· U.S. stock futures took a turn for the worse Tuesday after the release of stronger-than-expected wholesale inflation data.
· The U.S. Labor Department said PPI rose 1% in January, and increased 0.4% when excluding food and energy. The median estimates of economists surveyed by IFR Markets were for a headline increase of 0.3% and core growth of 0.2%.
· Last month Eskom, the state power utility, cut all power for several days at some of the nation's largest mines. Since then the utility has allowed mines to use 90 percent of former power usage. That amount is forecast to remain for the next four years.
· Gold Fields said the power cuts will likely force it to suspend, scale back or close some of its South African functions. About 6,900 out of its total 53,000 person work force may be let go, the company said. Gold Fields said it was meeting with unions and other groups to find alternatives to layoffs, including early retirement voluntary retrenchments, contractor replacement and reassignment elsewhere within the company. The drop in production has cut into the world's supply, helping in part to boost precious metal prices.
· The euro rose by more than a cent towards its all-time high against the dollar after the closely watched Ifo survey of German business sentiment came in above market expectations, further reinforcing expectations that the European Central Bank will not cut rates any time soon. Earlier in the session, the euro had come under pressure on talk the Ifo would disappoint to the downside.
· The ECB has kept its key refi rate unchanged at 4.00 pct for eight months, unlike the Federal Reserve Board and the Bank of England, both of which are cutting rates, helping to underpin the euro.
· Durable goods are expected to drop 3.5 pct in January following a 5.2 pct increase in December. Durable goods excluding transportation are expected to have dropped by 0.7 pct in January following a 2.6 pct increase in the previous month.
Medium term outlook (Spot Gold)
Bullish above $916. Resistances are $926, $932, $947, $954, $973, $984; supports $896, $883. Expecting further up-trend above $954.60.

Energy intraday
· MCX Crude oil March traded near Rs. 3996 as days high following international energy prices, US data also supported the movement.
· NYMEX crude managed to trade above $100, Natural Gas also following higher energy prices. but market is still waiting for inventory data to be released today.
· Oil steadied as players weighed cold weather in the US and Europe and ongoing worries over geopolitical tensions in key producing countries against expectations of further gains in US crude oil inventories. In addition, analysts said the the profit-taking spree seen in earlier trades had run out of steam as the market remains nervous ahead of the OPEC cartel's production meeting in Vienna on March 5.
· Markets expect US inventory data will show crude stocks rose again last week, meaning there is a risk that oil could trend lower as supply side worries wane slightly. On the other hand, however, with the current cold snap in the US and Europe, markets could get uneasy should tomorrow's data also show further falls in distillates, as expected.
· All the same, it is underpinning prices for now, while concerns over the security of supplies from Iran, Iraq, Nigeria and Venezuela have not yet gone away.
· The UN Security Council is expected to pass a resolution on Friday on possible stricter sanctions against Iran because it claims it has not been forthcoming over the aims of its nuclear programme.
· Iran, the world's fourth-largest oil producer, has warned of "decisive reciprocal measures" should the UN impose further sanctions, sparking fears it plans to withhold oil sales.
· Meanwhile in Nigeria, Africa's largest oil producer, militant attacks against the oil industry could escalate, especially if the courts rule that last year's presidential elections were flawed.
· Elsewhere, there are fears over the security of supplies from Iraq, where Turkey last week launched a military incursion into the oil-rich north in a bid to flush out Kurdish separatist rebels. And in Venezuela, the spat with Exxon-Mobil over the nationalisation of oil projects continues, with the South American country still withholding oil sales from the US oil giant.
MCX Crude Oil March
Technical Outlook:
Momentum studies are bullish but are now at overbought levels and will tend to support reversal action if it occurs. The daily stochastics have crossed over up which is a bullish indication. The stochastics indicators are rising from oversold level, which is bullish and should support higher prices. The market's short-term trend is positive as the close remains above the 9-day moving average. The downside closing price reversal on the daily chart is somewhat negative.
Recommendations:
MCX Crude Oil March: Buy at 3920-30 for the target of 4040 and 4100 with stop loss at 3885

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Silver shines brighter than other metals. It’s all about the dollar decline story and expectations that Fed interest rate cuts may prevent an immediate US recession for metals and energies. Silver is getting its due. Shorts in silver are getting squared off and new longs are being built. The rise in silver will also result in some short term hot money flowing into silver which so far has lagged and means more gains for silver. The Eurozone economy may not slowdown as much which has resulted in traders paring bets over interest rate cuts by the European central bank. This has resulted in the Euro/USD edging past 1.50 for more. Unless profit taking comes in silver, silver will continue to trade firm.
Crude oil is floating over $100 a barrel and looks headed for $107 and $112 in the short term. Higher crude oil and energy prices are inflationary and gold is the best hedge against a global slowdown. Only in the last quarter of 2008 higher base effects will result in lower headline inflation till then global inflation will remain on the higher side. It’s a momentum market and momentum is bullish in all metals and energies.
SILVER -- MARCH FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT $1856
Silver intra day key support at $1834. For the day, silver holds $1887 then $1988 is the target.
COPPER -- MARCH FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $384.0
Copper targets $390, $403 if it holds $378 and $372.0
NYMEX CRUDE OIL -- FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $97.52
Only a break of $102 will result in $107 and $112. Key weekly support at $95.31 and $97.52.
