Gold edged marginally lower overnight to open at the intraday low of 1317.00/1318.00. It moved up higher following weaker-

thanexpected U.S data that included a drop in NY Fed manufacturing activity and a decline in homebuilder confidence as

investors remain cautious on global economic growth. The metal consolidated to close at the session high of

1324.00/1325.00.

Gold closed lower today at 1324, unable to breach resistance in the 1337 area after moving from a low of 1182 to a high of

1331 since the end of 2013. Support is at 1308, the 50% retracement of the last downtrend (August to December 2013),

followed by the 200-day moving average at 1303. RSI in Gold on the daily chart had moved into serious 'overbought'

territory at 75.60, so a correction is likely healthy for the uptrend. We may see a temporary pullback into the 1284 area. We

would re-assess our bullish view if gold breaches 1278 on the downside

Silver moved marginally higher overnight to open at 21.50/21.55, which was also the low of the day. It moved to a high of

21.88/21.93 prior to concluding the session at 21.87/21.92.

Silver closed higher at 21.92, forming a potential hanging man in the candlestick charts. A hanging man, as implied by the name,

would be bearish, but given it follows a strong advance, it must be confirmed by a down-day tomorrow. The strong breakout on

Friday through resistance in the 20.64 area was bullish, and was confirmed by a breakout in RSI to a new 6-month high in the

76.50 area. There is a downtrend in play off the April 2011 high which may act as resistance. This downtrend currently comes in at

22.51.

The gold-silver ratio made another bearish drop today after a big drop on Friday. The ratio is currently trading at 60.43. It has now

definitively broken its uptrend which had support in the 61.94 area – this area should now act as resistance. This latest move

opens up a full retracement to the 57.09 low from August 2013.

Crude

Copper Copper settled up 0.8% as support from a strong euro helped cushion concerns about short-term demand in China after its central bank

moved to tighten the money supply.

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) issued cash-draining forward bond repurchase agreements on Tuesday, sucking $7.9 billion out of

the system, pushing up the cost of money after unexpectedly strong credit growth in January. China is the biggest consumer of copper,

which is used in construction and power cables. It imported record volumes of copper last month, partly for consumption and partly to

ease tight credit conditions.

Goldman Sachs sees Chinese bonded inventories at 700,000 tonnes, up from 550,000 tonnes since the beginning of the year, it said in

a note. The euro hit a seven-week high against the dollar, which was trading at a six-week low against a basket of currencies.

In the week ahead, the focus will be on the U.S. Federal Reserve's tapering of monetary stimulus, with the release of its minutes on

Wednesday, and on China's slowdown, with a purchasing managers' index due on Thursday. Both factors have been behind this year's

sell-off in emerging markets. U.S. manufacturing last week recorded its biggest drop in more than 4-1/2 years in January as cold

weather disrupted production. It was the latest indication that the world's biggest economy got off to a weak start this year.

On the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate crude for delivery in April traded at USD102.45 a barrel during Asian

trading, up 0.34%.On Tuesday, the New York-traded oil futures hit a session low of USD102.27 a barrel and a high of USD102.66 a barrel

to settle at 102.10 a barrel.

Nymex oil futures were likely to find support at USD100.31 a barrel, the earlier low, and resistance at USD102.95 a barrel, the high from

Oct. 16.Updated weather forecasting models indicated that a strong winter storm was set to sweep over the northeastern U.S. on Tuesday

and bring strong winds and fresh snowfall.

Frigid weather reports sent crude prices rising on sentiments demand for heating oil will climb as temperatures fall across the heavily-

populated northeastern U.S.Soft data out of the U.S. sent prices rising as well due to the monetary implications they may bring.

The dollar weakened after the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said that its general business conditions index came in at 4.48 for

February, down from a 20-month high of 12.51 in January. Analysts had expected the index to decline to 9.00.

Nymex crude prices continued to rise during Asian trading hours on Wednesday after hitting four-month highs on strong U.S. data, a winter

storm and supply concerns in the Middle East.
