comex crude intraday
Fresh attacks on Nigerian pipelines and comments by Iran's president raised concerns over global oil supplies and lifted the prices above $125 a barrel in NYMEX.
Light, sweet crude oil for September delivery in the New York Mercantile Exchange traded in the range $122.63 - $125.22, before settling at $125.03 a barrel.
The President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reportedly said that Iran has more than 5,000 active centrifuges for enriching uranium, keeping the focus on geopolitical concerns. The two-week deadline from world powers for Iran to give a final answer on its nuclear plans will end on Saturday.
A Nigerian militant group claimed on Monday to have attacked a couple of pipelines owned by Royal Dutch Shell.
Oil price had retreated from record high levels in the previous two weeks, weighed down by concerns that slowing economic growth might dampen oil demand. Easing of storm threat also added to the pressure. Tropical Storm Dolly did not have a major impact on oil and natural gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Early this month, OPEC had downwardly revised the world oil-demand growth for 2008 and 2009.
OPEC in its latest monthly report had lowered its forecast for world oil-demand growth for 2008 to 1.03 million barrels a day, which represents a decline of 70,000 barrels from its previous estimate. Global oil demand this year is expected to average 86.81 million barrels a day.
Oil price had touched an all-time high of $147.27 a barrel on 11th July but has corrected from there in the succeeding weeks.
Iran reportedly test fired a number of missiles in the second week of July, including a long-range missile capable of striking Israel, sending a defiant message to the West and strengthening the view that Iran has no intentions of halting its uranium enrichment programme.
The Group of Eight leaders from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States had warned that soaring oil and food prices pose a serious challenge to stable worldwide economic growth. They also called for diversifying sources of energy and further efforts to improve energy efficiency.
Potential supply threats due to geo-political tensions and the Atlantic hurricane season also continue to underpin oil prices.
Weekly Outlook (Crude oil NYMEX)
Continuation of weakness expected below $119.80. Supports are $116.00, $110.00, $105.00. Otherwise expecting recovery; resistances $126.40, $132.00, $139.00.
DWTI (Aug) traded in the range $122.76 - $125.10 and closed at $124.73 ($123.26).
TECHNICAL OUTLOOK (Intra-day)
DGCX Crude (Aug) - Bullish above $124.55; bearish below $124.00

comex gold outlook
Gold edged higher yesterday as the dollar weakened against the major currencies and oil price inched up above $125 a barrel in NYMEX.
International spot gold traded in the range $922.35 - $932.80 a Troy Ounce and last quoted at $929.90 ($928.70).
Federal Reserve Board Governor Frederic Mishkin said Monday that recent adverse shocks to the economy - including the financial market turmoil and the sharp increase in the price of oil - may affect the economy for longer than the next three years.
Meanwhile, the US Senate cleared a bill designed to prop up the struggling US housing market and rescue the struggling giant mortgage-buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Saturday. The bill includes billions of dollars in loan guarantees, a tax break for first-time homebuyers and many other provisions.
However worries remained as two more US banks were shut down by federal regulators late Friday, bringing the number of bank failures so far this year to seven.
Dollar had drifted lower on Friday after a report from Commerce Department showed US new home sales in US fell 0.6 % in June, the second straight monthly decline, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 530,000.
Among US data released on Thursday, initial claims for unemployment benefits increased by 34,000 to stand at 406,000 for the week ended July 19, according to the US Labor Department.
The National Association of Realtors reported a 2.6% fall in US existing home sales in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.86 million, the lowest level in 10 years.
The Federal Reserve's Beige Book report of economic conditions last week showed price pressures were intensifying even as growth slowed over the past month.
Also according to the release by Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight on Tuesday, US home prices fell 0.3 percent on a seasonally-adjusted basis from April to May. For the 12 months ending in May, the prices fell 4.8 percent.
The US Labor Department reported that the nation’s Consumer Price Index rose 1.1 % in June to an annual pace of 5.0%, underscoring the Fed concerns about rising inflation and sluggish growth.
Meanwhile, the US trade gap narrowed unexpectedly in May. The US Commerce Department reported a 1.2 % decrease in trade deficit in May to $59.8 billion deficit from the revised $60.5 billion in April.
The US Commerce Department in its final revision to GDP estimates said that the economy grew at a slightly faster pace in the first quarter than originally reported. Real GDP was revised to a 1.0% annual rate in the first three months of the year, up from an originally reported reading of 0.9%.
The recent data from various sectors in the US have given rather mixed hints regarding the economy.
Weekly Outlook (Spot Gold)
Recovery expected above $936.60. Resistances are $943, $950, $959; supports $923, $915, $908.
Last day DGCX Gold Aug traded in the range $923.10 – $933.00 and closed at $931.20 ($929.60).
TECHNICAL OUTLOOK (Intra-day)
GOLD (Aug) - Bullish above $ 932; bearish below $ 927

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
The Bush administration projected the U.S. budget deficit will soar to a record of nearly half a trillion dollars in fiscal 2009 as a housing-led economic slowdown cuts into government revenues. The new report said the budget deficit would fall to $178 billion in 2010, and surpluses would emerge in 2012. However, the deficit projections did not include the full amount of funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan or costly tax law changes, and acknowledged it would be a "challenge" to reach surpluses in 2012. A prudent overseas investor will not buy into US government instruments. Precious metals will benefit as a result of the same.
The US financial crisis is spreading from subprime borrowers to wealthier consumers, with evidence mounting that more affluent people are failing to pay their mortgages and credit card balances. Growing concerns over the financial health of richer borrowers are prompting banks and card issuers to tighten lending practices in moves that could further dampen consumer confidence and spending. More positive news for gold, that is all I can say.
Lead, zinc and other base metals will remain firm on reduced Chinese production capacity and firm global demand. Nickel should bottom out soon. Long term investors should invest in Nickel as the risk to return ratio is in favour of the buyers.
COPPER -- SEPTEMBER FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $354.0
200 day MA around $354 is the key support. Resistance is at 100 day MA around $378. Falls below $354 will result in $347 and $339.
