outlook in the market. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI
are turning neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If March extends this week's rally,
January's high crossing at 942.20 is the next upside target. Closes below Tuesday's low crossing at 888.40 would open the door
for a larger-degree decline during February. First resistance is today's high crossing at 924.50 then January's high crossing at
942.20. First support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 908.30. Second support is Tuesday's low crossing at 888.40.
March silver closed higher on Friday and the high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Monday.
Stochastics and the RSI are turning neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If March

targets. First resistance is today's high crossing at 17.220 then last Friday's high crossing at 17.345. First support is today's
low crossing at 16.785 then the 20-day moving average crossing at 16.494.

October-December decline crossing at 352.60. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Monday.
Stochastics and the RSI are bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If March extends today's
rally, the 87% retracement level crossing at 363.80 is the next upside target. Closes below the 10-day moving average crossing
at 330.82 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. First resistance is today's high crossing at 356.40. Second
resistance is the 87% retracement level crossing at 363.80. First support is today's low crossing at 342.50. Second support is

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
In 2008 the trend so far in gold has been that gold rises multiple times faster than declining including last week. It seems equity investors are the most nervous lot as they increase their investment in gold and gold related instruments. Every now and then we hear comments on the progress of the global economy from some central banker, political leader, or big names in hedge fund industry. These comments are only creating uncertainty in the mindset of equity investors which is benefiting gold more than any other investment. Humans have two ears, two nose, two eyes, two hands, two legs and one big mouth. These guys are using only their big mouths instead of doing something positive to ensure that global financial markets stabilize. Unless the influential people stop using their big mouths global financial markets will be volatile and gold will benefit more than any other financial instrument.
Interest rate cuts will not create overnight growth. There is a time lag for interest rate cuts to have a trickle down effect which may vary from two months to six months. Equity investors need to be patient and remain invested in sector specific stocks and also look for stocks which offer cheap valuations. 2008 will provide a good long term investment opportunity in all markets including India. However returns will be lower than 2007 which investors have to realize.
It's interesting how weather has changed the outlook for base metals. Earlier traders and investors were going short in base metals on every rise and now the reverse is happening. Record Snowfall in China will result in greater demand for base metals, despite expectations of a global slowdown in 2008. China will need more copper and aluminum for electricity transmission and other areas. Factories which were closed due to snowfall will start and there will be greater short term demand for base metals than earlier expected in short term. Steel is still a great long term bull story. Copper, zinc, nickel and lead can rise in the short term and may in the next two to three months but the rise will be accompanied by a high degree of volatility.
The G7 has approved IMF gold sales, which could start as early as April, which is far off. This will not alter the medium term bullish in gold. In the short term gold can fall if some of the traders reduce their longs. This week gold will be volatile. The technical picture is still bullish in gold but will be vulnerable to sharp corrections. It's all about "pace" not just for the day for day traders but also for the medium term traders in gold and silver. "Pace" implies speed of rise or speed of decline in gold and silver. If one is able to determine the pace correctly, he will mint money.
GOLD -- APRIL FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT:$920.30
NYMEX CRUDE OIL -- FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $90.20
Crude oil targets $94.56 and $99.77 as long as $89.90 holds.

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
The European central bank has shifted its focus from inflation to growth after it acknowledged that the Eurozone will be affected by a slowdown in the US economy. Bank of England and Fed interest rate cuts will only prevent investors from investing in equities. If the investor cannot invest in equities, bond yields are too low to invest as they do not cover inflation, real estate prices are volatile, emerging market equities provide cheap valuations at the current prices but are volatile, then where should he park his money? My answer is only commodities which include a balance between soft commodities, precious metals and base metals. If investment in commodities rises, gold will rise and will detach itself away from the movement in the currency markets.
Gold and silver will be volatile for the rest of the day. Silver and copper should outperform gold. Crude oil is finding buyers at higher levels. It remains to be seen whether traders will square off their positions over the weekend or go long. Base metals should rise further as there is a technical break out. Zinc, its better to remain on the sidelines as there are huge longs at higher levels and investors are also averaging at lower levels.
GOLD -- APRIL FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT:$898.0
As long gold holds $897 it will target $924 and $942 once again. Gold has to fall below $897 for further losses to $887 and $872.0
COPPER -- MARCH FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $336.60
As long as copper holds $336 it will target $360.50 and $372 in the short term. LME copper 3 months can rise to $7900 if it holds $7425.
