comex gold outlook
Gold prices continued recovery following last week’s sharp losses, supported by a rally in oil prices to a fresh high above $120 a barrel and weakness in the dollar.
International spot gold traded in the range $857.55 - $874.05 and last quoted at $873.05 ($855.45).
Dollar continued to ease despite an unexpectedly strong data from the US Service sector. According to data released yesterday, the ISM's non-manufacturing index rose to 52.0% in April from 49.6% in March.
The greenback was affected by the Federal Reserve’s senior loan officer survey, which found Consumers and businesses found it harder to borrow money over the past three months, which indicates that the credit crunch might be still worsening despite the Fed’s grave efforts.
The Fed on Wednesday cut its overnight lending rate by 25 basis points to 2 percent and signaled that its next move would depend on developments in financial markets and the economy. The Feds signal boosted the optimism of the traders in the currency market. Since mid-September, the US central bank has slashed the fed funds rate target by 3.25 percentage points to shore up an economy.
The Conference Board’s April consumer confidence index had descended to 62.3 from an upwardly revised reading of 65.9 in March.
Also the University of Michigan/Reuters' consumer sentiment index declined to 62.6 in April from 69.5 in March.
The US Commerce Department had revealed that the nation's trade deficit expanded unexpectedly by 5.7% to $62.3 billion in February.
Oil prices crossed above $120 a barrel yesterday, for the first time ever, as geo-political tensions especially in Nigeria, where a militant attack disrupted oil production in facilities belonging to Anglo-Dutch oil group Royal Dutch Shell, added to supply jitters.
Crude oil June in NYMEX traded as high as $120.23 and closed at $120.20 ($116.32).
Medium term outlook (Spot Gold)
Weak below $881; supports are $872, $861, $849, $835, $817, $800; resistances $896, $906, $926.
Last day DGCX Gold June traded in the range $864.00 – $875.50 and closed at $875.10 ($858.90).

energy intraday
Crude oil prices crept higher Monday following a weekend attack on a Nigerian oil installation, but the strengthening U.S. dollar limited the market's gains. Four months after first hitting triple digits, the price of oil breached $120 a barrel Monday for the first time in a rally of unexpected intensity.
Supply issues in Nigeria and tensions between Iran and the West are at play here, Royal Dutch Shell was forced to shut more of its production in Nigeria after a militant attack on Saturday on a flow station in the oil-rich Niger Delta, where local militants have stepped up a campaign of violence.
A few oil delivery lines are affected and some oil has spilled into the environment, a Shell spokesman said. Recent violence has already cut 164,000 barrels per day (bpd) of Shell production in Nigeria
In the Middle East, Iran's Foreign Ministry said on Monday it would not consider any incentives offered by world powers that violated Tehran nuclear rights, ruling out a key demand that it halt uranium enrichment program.
The comments come just three days after major powers said they would make a new offer to convince the Islamic Republic to halt its nuclear plans, a process which the West believes Tehran wants to master so that it can build nuclear weapons.
Renewed clashes between Turkey and Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq also lent support to oil prices. The Turkish army said on Saturday that it killed more than 150 Kurdish PKK fighters in air strikes in northern Iraq last week, but the rebel group denied this and security forces in the region also expressed scepticism
The dollar eased marginally on Monday, but held on to most of last week's gains, supported by expectations the Federal Reserve will not need to cut interest rates again to cushion the economy from the credit crisis.
Natural gas futures continued to rise Monday, climbing with higher crude oil prices and forecasts of below-normal temperatures in the Great Lakes and Midwest over the next two weeks.
The National Weather Service was predicting below-normal temperatures across the entire upper half of the continental U.S., particularly in the Great Lakes region, from May 10 to May 14. Colder-than-normal temperatures were also expected in the northern half of the U.S. from May 12 to May 18.

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Gold will be caught between long term investors who continue to invest in dips with a price target of $1100 to $1300 over the next two to three years and short term bears who are trying to ensure that gold tests $800 and then rises. The downside risk for gold is limited to ten percent to twenty percent from the current prices in the next three to six months. Physical demand for gold will continue to rise unless gold has a sustained fall below $800.
Gold is caught between crude oil and the US dollar. Unless the US dollar has sustained gains and the US economy shows stability, gains in the dollar could well be short lived. Technically the US dollar has room for more gains and gold has more room to fall. Ever since the US sub prime crisis began in August 2007, gold has benefited as an alternate investment (apart from being an inflation hedge). If global equities continues to rise some of the investment which moved away from equities into gold will move back into equities. Further soft commodities and energies have given greater returns than gold. These commodities will give competition to gold in search for alternate investments.
If the US economy recovers then crude oil will rise and test $125 in the short term. Asian demand will remain high. Global central banks have been adding liquidity to the money markets; if every thing was okay then they would not add liquidity. Some under reporting is there. Base metals will be volatile as higher copper prices have forced buyers to reduce inventories. Fundamentally zinc has room for more losses but technically at lower prices the risk to return ratio switches in favor of the buyer.
COPPER -- JULY FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $404.0
Copper has to close below $369 for three to four consecutive days to be in a short term bear phase. LME copper (3 months) has to fall below $7950-$8000 to be in short term bear phase. My contrarian view on copper is that if copper fails to break $410 in May, it will fall to $346 and maybe even $326.
NYMEX CRUDE OIL -- FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $115.90.
Crude oil has to break $120.60 this week else it will fall back to $113.80 and $109.20. A break of $120.60 will result in $125.10.
INDIAN RUPEE (USD/INR)
Arbitrage in the non deliverable forward (NDF) market has resulted in a weaker rupee. Traders are buying cash selling forward as a hedge. Further there is a greater cash demand for the US dollar due to summer holiday travel. This has resulted in importers covering their short term payables on dips. The current weakness in the rupee will be short lived, once the arbitrage demand is over, the rupee will once again gain to 40.25. Intra day 40.88 is the key resistance support while 40.48 is the key support.
