Gold Outlook
29 April 2008 10:22:52
Gold prices edged higher yesterday, as rise in oil price to new record high near $120 levels stirred up inflation concerns. Easing of the dollar against the euro also supported the bullion.
International spot gold traded in the range $885.75 - $895.50 and last quoted at $892.50 ($885.15)
Dollar traded range-bound, with markets awaiting the interest rate decision from Federal Reserve on Wednesday.
The greenback had recovered moderately from the record low levels against the Euro earlier this week, but remained vulnerable due to persisting worries about the US economy.
The University of Michigan/Reuters' consumer sentiment index declined to 62.6 in April from 69.5 in March.
But according to the release by US Labor Department last week, initial claims for state unemployment benefits fell sharply by 33,000 to 342,000 for the week ended April 19, against the expectations for a modest rise. The four week moving average of initial jobless claims fell by 7,250 to stand at 369,500.
Also, continuing claims fell 65,000 to 2.93 million for the week ended April 12. But the four-week average of continuing claims rose 20,500 to 2.96 million to the highest level since May 2004.
However, weakness in the housing market continued, as sales of new homes fell 8.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 526,000 in March as per the report by US Commerce Department.
The National Association of Realtors had reported a 2 % drop in sales of existing single-family homes and condominiums in March, to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 4.93 million.
Also, according to the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, US home prices fell 2.4 % for the 12 months ending in February.
Earlier, the unexpectedly weak result from the Bank of America had dampened the investors in the banking sector and also added to concerns about the US economy. Bank of America, the second largest bank in US reported a fall in first-quarter profit due to write-downs and rising credit losses.
US consumer confidence had sunk to its lowest level in 26 years in early April, according to a report from University of Michigan/Reuters. The US consumer sentiment index fell to 63.2 in early April from 69.5 in March.
In a separate release, the US Commerce Department revealed the nation's trade deficit expanded unexpectedly by 5.7% to $62.3 billion in February.
As expected, the European Central Bank had left the interest rates unchanged, while the Bank of England cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 5 percent in their respective latest meetings.
The minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee meeting held in March had given a downbeat assessment of the US economy, leaving the possibility of further cuts in US interest rates intact. The minutes also showed that many board members believed a recession in the first half of 2008 was likely amid declining economic growth and financial market stress.
Oil prices soared to a new high near $120 a barrel on reported supply disruptions due to strike in a UK refinery, unrest in Nigeria and fresh tensions between the United States and Iran.
Crude oil June in NYMEX traded as high as $119.93 and settled at $118.83 ($118.52).
The US Energy Department had reported Wednesday that US crude inventories rose by a more-than-expected 2.4 million barrels to 316.1 million barrels in the week ending April 18.
OPEC Secretary General Abdullah al-Badri had over-ruled an immediate hike in the OPEC oil output. He also played down the chances that OPEC would hold an extraordinary meeting before its next scheduled gathering in September.
Medium term outlook (Spot Gold)
Weak below $952; supports are $928, $908, $888; resistances $969, $990.
Last day DGCX Gold June traded in the range $889.40 – $898.00 and closed at $894.10 ($888.90).

Major Headlines:
* Crude approached $120 a barrel after BP Plc shut a North Sea pipeline and as oil workers' strike and rebel attacks cut output from Nigeria. Gold surged 31 percent last year as oil soared 57 percent, spurring the biggest gain in the U.S.inflation rate since 1990.
* Nigeria's main militant group Monday said an attack it made on a Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) oil facility last Thursday knocked out 350,000 barrels a day of production. The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, or MEND, said in a statement to the media that Nigerian Shell sources had informed it that the Nigerian government didn't want the big production loss figure disclosed.
* Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer, already has around 800,000 barrels a day closed because of an oil workers' strike that started Friday and attacks on oil infrastructure over the past two years, most by MEND, have left another roughly 540,000 barrels shuttered.
* Forecasts of colder-than-normal temperatures in the Midwest over the next week were also supporting natural gas prices Monday. Sizable withdrawals of gas from storage over the winter have left U.S. natural gas inventories below the five-year average, sparking concerns about possible supply constraints.
* Oil markets are having a major effect on currency markets because of inflation concerns globally. Notable for the dollar, are expectations in Europe. "ECB will view ongoing appreciation in oil as inflationary," That will keep the ECB hawkish and the dollar weaker versus the euro
* Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said Monday he discussed with his Norwegian counterpart cooperation between their two oil-exporting countries to stabilize oil markets as prices hit new highs
* Natural gas futures rose Monday ahead of the May contract expiration, climbing in response to soaring crude oil prices and forecasts of below-normal temperatures in the U.S. Midwest over the next week
* The National Weather Service was predicting below-normal temperatures across
Much of the Midwest from May 3 to May 7 and May 5 to May 11 and an ongoing production shut-in at the Independence Hub, a major U.S. deepwater Gulf of Mexico natural gas platform, were also placing upward pressure on natural gas prices Monday.

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is in the “final stages” of launching the kingdom’s first sovereign wealth fund (SWF). The SWF would be set up with initial capital of SR20bn ($5.3bn). The amount of investment by Gulf cooperation council (GCC) countries will only rise and is an indirect way of moving away from the US dollar based investments. How much of the money in SWFs will move into gold remains to be seen. GCC counties official foreign exchange reserves will continue to swell as long term bullishness for crude oil prices is on the rise. The size of the GCC SWF will only rise over the coming years and will help to sustain the long term US dollar weakness story.
There is speculation that the Fed may cut interest rates this time and then shift the focus to inflation from growth. The net addition to US non farm payrolls is still negative and may remain in the negative territory for some time. The Fed may pause in June and then cut interest rates from September. Technically the US dollar has formed a short term bottom against the major currencies and should rise. The Fed meeting will be the key, till then day traders and jobbers will prefer to sit on the fence.
It will be a volatile day for gold, silver and copper. If they fail to rise then there will be sellers and key medium term technical support may be broken. On the other hand if they hold the last week low, then they may have bottomed out for the rest of the week.
GOLD -- JUNE FUTURE
Failure of gold to break and close over $931 on Friday will result in fall to $871 and $848.60 in May.
NYMEX CRUDE OIL -- FUTURE
Failure of crude oil to break $121.60 this week will result in a fall to $116.20 and $113.80 this week.
