GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS

Next week we have Easter Vacation and the Fed meeting. The Fed will not disappoint the markets and may cut interest rates by 0.75%. Trading volumes will fall next week. However the current market situation will prevent fund managers to be lazy as the market circumstances are changing every day. Some of the investment instruments have either hit historical highs or historical lows and investors asking themselves whether to exit the highs or invest in lows. For the rest of the March the US dollar and movement of US equity markets will be the key for almost all investments.

Some of the central bankers are continuously speaking on the higher volatility and dollar depreciation but do nothing. Markets have learned to live with the comments from various central banks over the pace of the US dollars depreciation and they will not get unnerved by the same as they know that central bankers will do not anything. For the central bankers “words speak louder than actions”. It remains to be seen as what will be the tolerable level of euro and yen against the US dollar by the ECB and bank of Japan.

Gold futures finally tested $1000. $1000 is nothing but psychological. One should expect greater volatility in gold next week on position squaring and rebuilding. Base metals will be volatile as they are long term bullish and short term bearish as per the technical charts.

NICKEL – LME 3 MONTH

It is bullish over $30214 and as long as nickel holds $30214 it will target $34000 and $37000 in short term.

NYMEX CRUDE OIL -- FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $106.0

Crude oil fails to break $112-$114 zone by next week then it will fall back to $106 and $100.0

Bullion intraday

· Gold gained in MCX/COMEX reversing an earlier decline, after the dollar fell against the euro on concern the Federal Reserve's plan to provide funds to banks won't be enough to revive lending among banks.

· The Fed said yesterday it will make as much as $200 billion available to revive lending among banks. The plan drove the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to its biggest gain in more than five years. Asian stocks rallied yesterday.

· The Federal Reserve has sold outright of 15 bln usd in Treasury bills maturing in May and June. The so-called coupon pass sold 3 bln usd each of T-bills maturing on May 8, 15, 22 and 29 and on June 5. Bids for the 15 bln usd in T-bills totaled 57 bln usd. The sale permanently changes the size of the Fed's System Open Market Account (SOMA) portfolio, transferring cash from the financial markets to the Fed's account.

· The euro continued to trade close to record highs against the dollar after euro zone industrial production data came in well above forecasts, suggesting that the European Central Bank will not be cutting interest rates any time soon.

· Data show industrial output for the region rose by 0.9 pct from December for a very strong 3.8 pct annual gain, far above the forecasts for much more moderate increases of 0.3 pct and 2.5 pct, respectively.

GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS

Another comment this time from US president Bush that the US dollars’ decline was not ``good tidings'' for proponents of a strong dollar. If these comments continue, the US dollar’s fall and crude oil’s rise will not stop unless there is coordinated central bank intervention. Traders and investors will use a rise as an exit opportunity in equities and invest the same else where or sit on cash. Metals and energies will be volatile. The federal reserve has been trying to use a series of measures to bring the house in order but markets have ignored such calls.

China's retail sales climbed 20.20%, the fastest pace in at least nine years, a sign that consumer spending may sustain the world's fastest- growing major economy as export demand weakens. China will slowly move away to a domestic demand growth against an export led growth and will be less dependent on US exports over the coming years. If Chinese domestic demand remains firm base metals’ long term bullish trend will be there but volatility will remain high. Steel, we are very bullish and will prefer to invest in steel stocks and steel futures for long term on any five to ten percent dip. Copper, Nickel and other base metals will be volatile.

COPPER -- MAY FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $372.

Copper has managed to hold $372 and will target $392 and $402 once again.

NYMEX CRUDE OIL -- FUTURE -- INTRA DAY PIVOT: $106.0

It remains to be seen whether $112 is broken or not. Support at $106.

Energy intraday

· Oil was steady near a record hit earlier as investors favoured holding commodities, especially crude, as safe assets in the midst of global economic turmoil.

· New York's main WTI benchmark hit a record 109.72 usd this morning as the dollar slumped to a record low against the euro. The price briefly fell to a day low of 107.43 usd as the greenback later trengthened against major currencies after central banks announced coordinated central bank action to shore up liquidity.

· Crude oil has become linked to the greenback's value, as it becomes relatively cheap or more expensive for those trading in other currencies when the dollar moves.

· Oil prices have soared over 100 pct since mid-January 2007. Analysts agree that supply/demand balance has got tighter but they say the latest rally, which has seen WTI rise 15 pct in one month is mostly down to speculative interest from investors keen on diversifying their portfolios amid economic turmoil.

· International Energy Agency (IEA) today reduced its demand forecast slightly for this year by 100,000 bpd, which was widely expected, because of downward pressures from weaker economic growth in the OECD.

· The agency, an advisor to 27 industrialised nations, cut its forecast for 2008 demand by 80,000 barrels a day to 87.54 mln bpd, leaving annual demand growth at 2 pct, in a monthly report.

· Most analysts agree that demand is likely to take a hit if market weakness persists, but this belief is doing little to stop the crude oil price rally for now.

· Citigroup analyst Tim Evans warned, however, that current higher prices could end up destroying demand.

· Looking ahead, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) will release its weekly inventory numbers tomorrow, which could provide some price direction.

· Early estimates show analysts expect crude stocks in the world's top consumer to have risen last week and gasoline stocks fell for the first time in eighteen weeks.
