Gold bounced back yesterday, along with oil prices that rose to new record high, while the dollar weakened against the major currencies.
Crude oil prices were lifted higher by the weekly inventory update from US Energy Department released yesterday, which showed a surprise rise in the nation’s crude inventories. As per the report, US crude inventories declined by 3.2 million barrels during the week ended April 4. The broad expectation had been an increase in the stockpiles.
However, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) proposal to sell 403.3 metric tons of gold from its reserves, which is currently valued at more than $13 billion, weighs on the traders’ sentiments in the bullion.
International spot gold traded in the range $902.80 - $934.70 and last quoted at $933.80 ($915.00).
The Dollar remained vulnerable against major currencies. The pressure on the greenback persisted after the release of latest Housing and Employment data from the US.
The market is awaiting interest rate decisions by the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, both due on Thursday. While the ECB is widely expected to again leave its key interest rate on hold at 4%, the BoE is likely to lower its benchmark rate by another quarter of a percent from 5.25 percent.
Also, minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee meeting held in March gave 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.
The National Association of Realtors’ (NAR) pending home sales index for February fell 1.9 percent to 84.6 from 86.2 in the previous month.
According to the release from US Labor Department on Friday, non-farm payrolls fell by an estimated 80,000 in March.
Also, the unemployment rate in the US rose to 5.1% in March, the highest since September 2005.
Crude oil May in NYMEX traded as high as $112.21, a fresh all-time high, and settled at $110.82 ($108.50).
OPEC Secretary General Abdullah al-Badri on Sunday 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 $906.70 – $939.50 and closed at $937.30 ($918.70).

Major Economic Data:
- Wholesale sales in February surprised economists by falling the largest amount since January 2007, while inventories piled up, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday in yet another weak report for the US economy. Sales dropped 0.8 percent, the largest decrease since January 2007 while inventories increased 1.1 percent in the month.
- The Commerce Department also downwardly revised January sales to a 2.3 percent increase and upwardly revised inventories to a 1.3 percent increase. February’s drop in sales was led by automobile and electrical sales, which fell 1.9 percent and 3.8 percent respectively. Furniture sales fell by 4.6 percent, the largest fall since December 2002. Hardware sales also fell significantly, by 3.9 percent, the largest drop since June 2001.
Impact:Data is slightly negative for US Economy and US dollar, which have a negative impact on base metal prices.
Copper
- Copper advanced in London to within less than 1 percent of a record as the weakening dollar boosted demand for commodities as a hedge against further declines in the currency. MCX Copper April also traded bullish following bullion and energy and positive trading at LME/COMEX
China
- This year's 27 percent gain may slow imports into China, the world's largest user of the metal. Imports of refined copper into the country fell 5.8 percent in the first two months from a year earlier, according to the latest customs report. LME-monitored copper stockpiles in South Korea, the nearest exchange warehouse to China, climbed 7 percent this month to 53,750 metric tons, the highest since Feb. 5.
- Purchases of so-called concentrate, or processed ore containing copper, may rise to 5.4 million metric tons from 4.5 million tons in 2007 as China expands in smelting, said Simon Collins, director of Trafigura Trading Shanghai Co., a unit of Trafigura. China would become the world's top buyer, surpassing Japan which bought 5.05 million tons last year.
- China's 11.4 percent economic growth in 2007, the fastest in 13 years, fueled demand for copper and pushed prices to a record $8,820 a ton on the London Metal Exchange on March 6. Investment in cities and highways has spread to the center and west of the world's most populous country, increasing consumption of metals for power, homes, factories and cars.
Mining
- The Mineworkers Union of Zambia and the National Union of Allied Workers have warned the dispute may lead to a strike, the Lusaka-based newspaper said. It didn't say what the unions' demands are.
- Power cuts or blackouts in Chile, the world's largest producing nation of the metal, may push copper above its record, said Allan Trench, head of copper research at consulting company CRU in London. If Chinese demand keeps rising and supplies are disrupted, copper may jump to $10,000 a ton, he said.
- Kansanshi Copper Mine Plc declared a dispute with workers after labor-unions rejected the company's offer to increase wages by 15 percent, The Post reported, citing Len Heyneke, a company official.
Demand
- Rio Tinto Group, the world's third- largest mining company, said global demand for copper will grow 4 percent a year for a decade or more led by sales to China.
- China, the world's biggest copper consumer, may increase imports of ore used to make the metal by 20 percent to a record this year, said Trafigura Beheer BV, the country's top supplier.
- China's expanding economy boosted consumption of metals as the world's most populous nation built more roads, power grids and port facilities. Inadequate mine supplies at home may encourage China to raise ore imports by 20 percent this year, said Trafigura Beheer BV, the country's top supplier.
Supply
- Codelco, the world's biggest copper producer, may increase output by 29 percent in three years, Chile's mining minister said. Codelco may boost production to 2.2 million metric tons by 2011 from about 1.7 million tons this year, Mining Minister Santiago Gonzalez, who is also the chairman of the state-run copper producer, said today in a Bloomberg Television interview in Santiago.
