Gold
Global Research Limited
Gold advanced overnight to open at 1277.50/1278.50, which was also the intraday high, as investors turned cautious
amidst last week's weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs data and the ongoing financial crisis in emerging economies. The
metal then dipped to a low of 1272.50/1273.50 while the dollar remained largely unchanged. Choppy trading for the
remainder of the session led it to close at 1274.50/1275.50.
Gold closed higher today at 1274 and tried to break through resistance in the 1278/79 area. RSI is at 61.13, and is testing
resistance at the previous high of 62. This is an encouraging sign, and a break would be bullish. Support is at the most

Copper
Crude
Global Research Limited
The March copper contract ended Friday's session up 0.22% to settle at USD3.236 a pound.
Futures were likely to find support at USD3.191 a pound, the low from February 6 and resistance at USD3.258 a pound, the high from
January 30.
On Thursday, China will release its monthly trade data, which will be followed by inflation numbers Friday. The Asian nation is the
world's largest copper consumer, accounting for almost 40% of world consumption last year.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., data on Friday showed that the economy added 113,000 jobs in January, well below expectations for jobs
growth of 185,000, after December's lackluster gain of 75,000 jobs.
It was the weakest two-month stretch of job creation in three years as inclement weather contributed to a slowdown in hiring.
Yet the report also showed that the number of people participating in the labor force edged up to 63% from a 30-year low of 62.8% last
month, while the unemployment rate unexpectedly ticked down to a five year low 6.6% from 6.7% in December.
Market players now looked ahead to Congressional testimony from new Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen later in the week for clues
regarding the future of course of U.S. monetary policy.
Copper futures were little changed near a one-week high on Monday, as investors looked ahead to key economic data out of China later
in the week to gauge the strength of the world's second largest economy.
On Monday, the New York-traded oil futures hit a session low of USD99.89 a barrel and a high of USD100.07 a barrel. The March contract
settled at USD100.06 a barrel. Nymex oil futures were likely to find support at USD97.14 a barrel, Friday's low, and resistance at
USD100.75 a barrel, the high from Dec. 27.
Oil prices rose on sentiments that recent blasts of cold air have hiked demand for heating fuel and other distillates, though forecasts for
moderating temperatures in the coming weeks capped gains.
Also capping gains were reports of an end to supply snags in the North Sea, while increased exports from Libya to the global market also
watered down gains.
Armed protestors have occupied oil facilities in Libya up until recently, and exports from the Middle Eastern nation are normalizing. Markets
were also eager to listen to Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's testimony before Congress on Tuesday, hoping the nation's new top
economist will shed insight on the direction of the U.S. central bank's USD65 billion in monthly bond purchases.
Nymex crude oil prices fluctuated between small gains and losses on Tuesday during Asian trading hours on fears that recent blasts of
winter storms have taken their toll on heating oil stockpiles more
than anticipated, though reports of increased supply from Libya capped the commodity's gains.
