MAJOR EVENTS US gold futures recorded a recovery on Thursday from its worst year in more than

three decades. A steep decline in the yellow metal prices has prompted the bullion

investors to reverse bets. US gold futures for February delivery electronic platform

was seen trading with a gain of $20.3 at $1222.6 per troy ounce as of 09.55 IST on

Thursday. Short holdings in gold rose 1.1% to a three-week high of 76,052 in futures

and options in the week that closed December 24, according to the US Commodity

Futures Trading Commission data. India Gold Futures opened on a positive note and

was seen trading up tracking an upward movement in US gold prices on Thursday.

trading with a gain of 0.87% at Rs.28665 per 10 grams as of 10.05 IST on Thursday.

A list of US data releases is scheduled for the day and traders may try to gather clues

for their trading from the data released. US Department of Labor is scheduled to

release its weekly data on Initial Jobless Claims, Continuing Jobless Claims at 19.00 IST

while US Institute of Supply Management is expected to release its PMI at 20.30 IST

on Thursday.

Crude oil prices saw their biggest drop in nearly 14 months at the NYMEX with oil

prices for most active February expiry closed nearly 3% lower yesterday. A slew of

positive economic numbers from the US were unable to press-in any kind of

optimism into the commodity which was weighed by rise in US Dollar amidst

speculation that the US Fed would continue with its monetary tapering. Additional

pressure seeped-in by the fact that Libya is planning to open one of its key oil fields

over the next two weeks which if happens would nearly double the supply form the

country as compared to current levels. By the end of the trading session on Thursday,

WTI oil was down around $3 per barrel to close at $95.44 a barrel and marking its

biggest single session drop since Nov, 2012. In Libya, oil output still hovers around

250,000 barrels per day (BPD), sharply lower from the near 1.5 BPD during the first

half of 2013 as ports in the eastern part of the country remain shut. Recently, its

National Oil Corp (NOC) said it plans to restart the El Sharara oilfield and hopes to

advance country’s output to near 600,000 BPD after protesters agreed to suspend a

strike that has blocked the field since the end of October.
