Gold, silver and copper fell after the Fed cut interest rates by 0.75% as the US dollar gained. In March, the US dollar has fallen too swiftly which contributed to gold and silver’s rise, so the fall was imminent. Gold had further gotten a boost from safe haven demand in the wake of negative sentiment for global stock markets. The Fed funds rate is at 2.25% and the Fed may cut interest rates by another 0.50% by next month end or even before then if the US economy deteriorates by then. After April, the Fed may not cut interest rates for the rest of the year, while other central banks may cut interest rates which will give the US dollar added advantage. Currency traders should buy some far dated US dollar call options on any weakness while precious metal traders should buy some near dated put options as a hedge against any price fall. Crude oil, I am not a bull and expect it to top out soon.
Trading volumes will fall from today as Easter starts. However it’s still not a time to sleep for the day traders or jobbers. Bid – Ask Spreads in MCX as well as Comex are on the higher side which is giving nightmares to the jobbers as his stop losses get triggered very quickly. As long as volatility remains high, bid-ask spreads as bound to remain high.
GOLD -- APRIL FUTURE
Gold can near $930 in the short term and yet maintain the bullish trend. Short Term resistance between $1020 and $1032.

Energy intraday
· Oil prices fell sharply Monday, pulling back at least temporarily from record levels as investors feared that the financial crisis that forced the sale of Bear Stearns Cos. is a sign of deep economic troubles.
· Crude's plunge came even as diesel prices rose to a new record above $4 a gallon, and gas prices remained high. Diesel, used to transport the vast majority of the nation's goods, rose 1.3 cents to a national average of $4.002 a gallon Monday, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service.
· The national average price of a gallon of gas, meanwhile, dipped slightly to $3.283 a gallon, but remains 73 cents higher than a year ago.
· Crude futures offer a hedge against a falling dollar, and oil futures bought and sold in dollars are more attractive to foreign investors when the dollar is weak. Interest rate cuts, and even the prospect of future cuts, tend to weaken the dollar further.
· But the mass selling Monday -- despite the Fed's Sunday rate cut, the prospect of another cut at the Fed's regular Tuesday meeting, and the fact that the dollar dropped to new lows against the euro on Monday -- could be a sign that the oil market's momentum has turned negative, analysts say.
· But it remains unclear whether Monday's price plunge marks the beginning of a longer decline, or a brief profit-taking retrenchment. If prices do fall, gas and diesel prices could follow.
· The drilling frenzy in North Dakota's oil patch has now reached beneath the state's biggest lake. Oil companies have begun tapping crude oil and gas underneath Lake Sakakawea, using advanced horizontal drill techniques. Lynn Helms, the director of the state Department of Mineral Resources, said it was a logical extension to the formation known as the Middle Bakken, which lies two miles under the surface in western North Dakota and holds millions of barrels of oil.
· Merrill Lynch upgraded the shares of a number of natural-gas service companies, citing expectations of higher nat-gas prices and an expansion of gas drilling activity by the second-half of the year.
· BP PLC said it has signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the regional refiner Irving Oil to work together on the next phase for the proposed Eider Rock Refinery project in eastern Canada.
· BP said it will contribute 40 mln usd to the project in St. John, New Brunswick and the two companies will investigate the possibility of forming a joint venture to build the refinery should they decide to proceed.
MCX Crude Oil April (Daily Chart)
Technical Outlook:
Momentum studies are bearish but are now at oversold levels and will tend to support reversal action if it occurs. The daily stochastics have crossed over down which is a bearish indication. The stochastics indicators are decreasing from overbought level, which is bearish and should support lower prices. The market's short-term trend is negative as the close remains below the 9-day EMA. The upside closing price reversal on the daily chart is somewhat positive.

most of any commodity futures. Before today, commodities had gained 20 percent this year.
· The New York Federal Reserve's manufacturing index fell from -11.7 to -22.2 in March, a new record low and a sign of further contraction.

Major Headline:
· China, the world's largest consumer of aluminum, didn't increase imports or cut exports after snowstorms and rising power costs reduce production in the first two months of the year, Macquarie Group Ltd. said. China remained a net exporter of aluminum and alloys in January-February, the Australian bank's analysts said, citing provisional trade figures.
· Global supply and demand will be about equal this year, compared with a
glut of as much as 700,000 metric tons expected, Rio Tinto Group said March 13.
· China's imports of aluminum and alloys were 22,146 tons in February whereas exports were 39,678 tons, customs data showed. Production in China fell in the period after snowstorms damaged power grids and forced smelters to shut down.
· Copper fell to almost a one-month low in London, and aluminum and zinc also declined, on speculation that a two-month rally left metals prices no longer reflecting the outlook for supply and demand.
· Chile, the world's biggest copper producer, said the value of its exports of the metal jumped 33
percent in February. Exports rose to $3.01 billion from $2.26 billion a year earlier, the Chilean central bank said on its Web site today. Chile's government will report February production figures on March 31.
· The London Metal Exchange index tracking six industrial metals rose 26 percent in January and February and copper reached a record March 6. Refined copper and alloy imports by China, the world's largest user of the metal, fell 1.7 percent in the first two months, the Beijing-based customs office said today.
· Copper, which tracks global industrial production, has risen 23 percent this year as China's economy expands, stoking speculation that prices will rise for a seventh year. Hedge, index and pension funds increased investments in commodities including metals to hedge against a weaker dollar and inflation and to diversify as stock markets declined.
· Copper stockpiles on the LME rose for the first time since Feb. 25, expanding 275 tons, or 0.2 percent, to 125,500 tons.
· Including those monitored by the Shanghai Futures Exchange and the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, inventories totalled 198,139 tons, or 3.9 days of global
consumption. The average was 4.9 days last year.
· Zinc consumption lagged behind output in January, leaving a surplus as production from mines and smelters rose, the International Lead and Zinc Study Group said.
· Global consumption of zinc, used to galvanize steel, was 978,000 metric tons in the first month of the year, the Lisbon- based group said today on its Web site. Production of refined
metal was 1.005 million tons in the period, creating an oversupply of 27,000 tons, according to the organization.
· Zinc output from mines soared 15 percent in January. China, the world's largest miner, produced 317,000 tons for an increase of 28 percent. Colombia, where the San Cristobal lead and zinc mine started production last year, dug out 32,000 tons, compared with 14,000 tons in the corresponding period last year. Output from smelters advanced 5.7 percent from a year earlier.
· Zinc has gained 6.3 percent this year, the least among all metals traded on the London Metal Exchange, as supply growth limited gains. Stockpiles of the metal monitored by the exchange
have risen 39 percent this year.
