Daily Commodity Analysis – Gold is steady, silver falters, oil surges, and gas puzzles despite drops.

 

Introduction

Gold prices maintain modest gains ahead of the Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting, finding support in Middle East tensions and declining US bond yields. Traders remain cautious amid geopolitical concerns, with a drone attack near the Syrian border impacting sentiment. Meanwhile, silver slips below $23.00, signaling a potential downtrend, while oil climbs on escalating Middle East tensions. Natural gas futures decline despite a significant storage drop, as weather forecasts suggest light national demand.

Gold Price Sticks To Modest Gains Ahead Of Fed Meeting.

Gold price draws some support from escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Sliding US bond yields also benefit the XAU/USD, though the uptick lacks follow-through. Traders also seem reluctant ahead of the crucial two-day FOMC monetary policy meeting. Investors set off the critical week, including the US Federal Reserve (Fed) policy announcements, on a cautious footing after a Reuters report quoted US President Joe Biden and officials stating that three US service members were killed and dozens may be wounded after an unmanned aerial drone attack on US forces stationed in northeastern Jordan near the Syrian border. The US economic docket is relatively light on Monday, and hence, the geopolitical developments and the pre-Fed positioning could influence the Gold price action.

Daily Commodity Analysis – Oil spikes, gas drops 8%, gold gains, copper challenges.

 

Introduction

WTI crude oil sees a slight uptick amid rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East, although concerns over demand in China may limit gains ahead of the FOMC. Traders eye the API report on US stockpiles for short-term opportunities. Meanwhile, natural gas experiences its largest daily decline in nearly two weeks due to an outage at Freeport LNG and milder weather forecasts. Gold prices rise as US bond yields fall, fueled by escalating tensions in the Middle East. Investors await cues from the upcoming FOMC meeting. Copper futures, previously boosted by China’s monetary stimulus, face pressure amid doubts about its impact on economic challenges in the country.

WTI Ticks Higher Amid Geopolitical Risks, China Demand Concerns Cap The Upside.

WTI attracts some buyers on Tuesday amid fears about supply disruptions in the Middle East. Demand concerns in China could act as a headwind for the commodity ahead of the FOMC. Traders now look to the API report on US stockpiles for short-term opportunities on Tuesday. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) US Crude Oil prices ticked higher during the Asian session on Tuesday and for now, seem to have stalled the previous day’s rejection slide from the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) or a nearly two-month peak. A further escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continues to fuel supply concerns and turns out to be a key factor acting as a tailwind for the black liquid.

Oil Falls On Weak China Data; Set For First Monthly Gain Since Sept.

Oil fell on Wednesday as lackluster economic data in China, the world’s biggest crude importer, weighed on demand sentiment, but prices were set for their first monthly gain since September as broadening Middle East conflicts raised supply concerns. Crude oil prices may experience a positive impact following the recent update on global economic growth by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF has revised its forecast, indicating expectations of stronger growth, particularly in the economies of the United States and China.

Daily Commodity Analysis – Explore gold defiance, copper’s challenge, oil rally, and gas amid the turmoil.

 

Introduction

Gold prices defy a Fed stance on prolonged higher interest rates, gaining ground amid safe-haven demand fueled by Middle East tensions. The precious metal’s ascent is tempered by a resurgent dollar. In contrast, copper retreated from a one-month peak, impacted by mixed signals from China’s economic outlook. Oil prices rise as the U.S. Federal Reserve hints at potential rate cuts and China unveils measures to support its property market. Natural gas futures see modest gains despite bearish weather forecasts and lower industrial demand attributed to a Freeport LNG outage.

Gold Prices Rise Even As Fed Shoots Down Early Rate-Cut Hopes.

Gold prices rose on Thursday and were undeterred by the Federal Reserve stating that it will likely keep interest rates higher for longer, while safe-haven buying amid an ongoing conflict in the Middle East also aided the yellow metal. The Fed’s comments spurred a sharp reversal in risk-driven markets, particularly stocks, on Wednesday. This in turn fueled increased safe-haven demand for gold. The yellow metal was also aided by increased demand as a conflict between U.S.-led forces and the Yemen-based Houthi Group worsened. Further gains in the yellow metal were held back by a sharp rebound in the dollar, which traded close to seven-week highs.

Oil Prices In Weekly Slump As Gaza Ceasefire Hopes, Stronger Dollar Bite.

Oil prices fell Friday, to end the week deep in the red as growing optimism over an extended ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war cooled the supply risks premium baked into prices. Faltering growth in China and the possibility of some easing of tensions in the Middle East also reduced prices. High-interest rates, which tend to dampen economic growth and oil demand, in major economies like the United States and the eurozone appear to be here to stay in the near term. A stronger dollar makes oil, priced in the U.S. dollars, more expensive and less attractive to foreign buyers.

Introduction

WTI crude oil prices hover around $72.90 amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The US Dollar’s slight decline supports the uptick, but concerns about global supply disruptions due to Middle East tensions and Russia’s actions in Ukraine may limit the downside.

Gold prices moved little on Wednesday but saw some relief as the dollar eased from three-month highs, although waning bets on early U.S. interest rate cuts kept the outlook for the yellow metal uncertain. Bullion prices were battered by bets on higher-for-longer interest rates, especially following a slew of strong U.S. economic readings and hawkish comments from Federal Reserve officials. The dollar and U.S. Treasury yields had surged on these signals. While the dollar fell slightly from three-month highs on Wednesday, the greenback was still sitting on strong gains so far in 2024.

XAU/USD Declines As Bears Gather Traction Ahead Of US CPI.

The XAU/USD retreated to $2,025 on Friday, registering losses of 0.40% on the day. Despite soft CPI revisions, the metal failed to gather traction. Daily chart indicators hint at a bearish bias, with RSI’s negative slope and MACD’s rising red bars suggesting selling momentum. In the four-hour chart, indicators appear flat hinting at a consolidation of losses. In Friday’s session, the XAU/USD was observed at a trading level of $2,025, marking a dip of 0.40%. Focus is set on next week’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures from January after the US downward revised the December figures, to continue placing their bets on the next Federal Reserve (Fed) decisions.

Daily Commodity Analysis – Gold, Copper, Oil, Natural Gas.

 

Introduction

Gold prices stagnate around $2,020, grappling with conflicting signals amid hawkish Fed sentiments and positive market sentiment. The USD’s defensive stance, driven by Fed rate cut uncertainty, offers support. Traders eagerly await Tuesday’s US CPI data for market direction. Meanwhile, Copper faces a downturn on the discovery of a sizable deposit in Zambia, signaling potential oversupply. Oil prices dip as Israel concludes Gaza strikes, alleviating Middle East supply concerns. Natural gas experiences a three-year low due to increased production and policy uncertainties, reflecting a bearish market sentiment.

Gold Price Flat-Lines Amid Mixed Cues, Look To US CPI On Tuesday For Fresh Impetus.

Gold price struggles to lure buyers amid hawkish Fed expectations and the upbeat market mood. The Fed rate cut uncertainty keeps the USD bulls on the defensive and lends support to the metal. Traders await Tuesday’s US consumer inflation figures before placing directional bets. Gold price (XAU/USD) kicks off the new week on a subdued note and oscillates in a narrow trading range, just above the $2,020 level during the Asian session. The recent surge in the US Treasury bond yields, bolstered by the upbeat US macro data and hawkish rhetoric from several Federal Reserve (Fed) officials, along with a generally positive risk tone, act as a headwind for the safe-haven precious metal. The downside, however, remains cushioned in the wake of a softer US Dollar (USD), which tends to benefit the USD-denominated commodity.

Daily Commodity Analysis – Gold down, Copper crisis, Oil up, Gas struggles.

 

Introduction

“As Gold struggles near a two-month low, the stronger-than-expected US CPI data diminishes hopes of a Fed rate cut, keeping the precious metal below $2,000. Meanwhile, copper faces pressure from a stronger dollar and concerns over slowing economic growth, exacerbated by a massive deposit discovery in Zambia. Oil prices rise on positive demand forecasts, while natural gas languishes due to warmer weather predictions reducing heating demand.”

Gold Price Struggles Near Two-Month Low As Hot US CPI Temper Fed Rate Cut Bets.

Gold price hits a fresh two-month low amid bets that the Fed will keep rates higher for longer. The expectations were reaffirmed by the stronger-than-expected US CPI released on Tuesday. A softer risk tone lends support to the safe-haven XAU/USD and helps limit any further losses. Gold price (XAU/USD) continues with its struggle to attract buyers and languishes below the $2,000 psychological mark, or a two-month low through the early European session on Monday. The stronger-than-expected US consumer inflation report released on Tuesday reaffirmed market expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest rates higher for longer. This, in turn, is seen undermining the non-yielding yellow metal, though a combination of factors lends some support and helps limit the downside.

Daily Commodity Analysis – oil dives, corn lows, gold reacts to bonds.

 

Introduction

WTI faces renewed selling pressure, hovering around $76.00 amid a second consecutive day of retreats. Despite geopolitical risks, a surge in US inventories weighs on oil prices, while OPEC’s positive global demand outlook fails to provide support. In the corn market, futures hit new lows, influenced by a red trading session and ethanol-related data. Gold prices tick higher due to sliding US bond yields and geopolitical tensions, while Silver stabilizes above $22, awaiting guidance from US Retail Sales data. Federal Reserve comments suggest a hesitant stance on rate cuts, impacting precious metals.

Oil Drops As Sticky US Inflation Heightens Demand Concerns.

Oil prices fell as investor attention returned to the demand outlook after reports of higher producer prices in the U.S., the world’s biggest oil user, stoked worries that sticky inflation and higher interest rates would limit fuel consumption growth. Both Brent and WTI contracts had settled higher on Friday, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East offset slowing demand forecasts from the International Energy Agency. Markets are also yet to see the direction of demand from China after it returns from a week-long Lunar New Year holiday, while Presidents’ Day in the United States is set to keep trade relatively muted.

Daily Commodity Analysis – Gold, oil surge, gas defies.

 

Introduction

Gold consolidates near a two-month high, hovering around $2,088-2,089, as it takes a breather after last week’s robust surge. The US Dollar weakened further due to disappointing ISM survey results and less hawkish Fed comments, boosting gold’s appeal. Meanwhile, copper prices dip ahead of crucial cues from China’s National People's Congress. WTI oil extends gains to nearly $79.50, supported by OPEC+ decisions, while U.S. natural gas futures defy bearish fundamentals with technical resilience amid a surprising storage withdrawal.

 

Markets In Focus Today – GOLD

Gold Price Consolidates Near Two-Month Peak, Bullish Potential Seems Intact.

Gold price pauses after last week's strong positive move to a fresh YTD top. Slightly overbought RSI on the daily chart acts as a headwind for the metal. Traders also seem reluctant ahead of this week's key US data/event risks. Gold price (XAU/USD) is seen oscillating in a narrow range during the Asian session on Monday and consolidating last week’s strong gains to the $2,088-2,089 region, or its highest level since December 28. The US Dollar (USD) continues to be undermined by the disappointing release of the US ISM survey on Friday, which showed that manufacturing sector activity contracted more than anticipated in February. Adding to this, the less hawkish remarks by several Federal Reserve (Fed) officials reinforced bets that the US central bank will start cutting interest rates at the June policy meeting. This, in turn, is seen as a key factor acting as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal.

Daily Commodity Analysis – Oil dives, gas surges, gold holds.

 

Introduction

WTI oil prices decline to around $77.70, marking a third consecutive session of losses amid rising concerns over demand, fueled by disappointing US factory data and unexpected increases in crude oil stock. Meanwhile, U.S. natural gas futures experience volatility, settling higher as participants weigh lower production against bearish weather forecasts. Gold prices trade slightly lower, approaching the all-time peak, as traders anticipate Fed Chair Powell’s statement and scrutinize geopolitical risks. Silver rebounds near the year-to-date peak, hovering around $24.00, supported by a positive technical setup and bullish prospects.

WTI Extends Its Losses To Near $77.70 As Demand Concerns Rise After US Factory Data.

WTI price continues to lose ground on concerns over oil demand.US Factory Orders (MoM) dropped by 3.6% in January, against the expected decline of 2.9%.US API Weekly Crude Oil Stock reported 0.423 million barrels, contrary to the expected decrease of 2.6 million barrels. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price extends its losses for the third successive session, trading lower near $77.70 per barrel on Wednesday. Concerns about demand weigh on Crude oil prices following recent data indicating slowing economic activity in the United States, the world’s largest oil consumer. However, the weaker US Dollar (USD) may provide some support to oil prices by increasing demand from buyers using other currencies. The increased apprehension regarding oil demand has tempered the impact of efforts by OPEC+ countries, Russia included, to enact voluntary oil output cuts.
