Gold futures fell, capping the biggest weekly drop since September, after a U.S. equity
rally and signs of easing tensions in Ukraine curbed demand for the precious metal as
a haven. Silver dropped to an 11-month low. U.S. durable-goods orders unexpectedly
rose in April, indicating manufacturing is gaining, government data showed on May
27. Today, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of stocks climbed to a record. Last year,

monetary stimulus as the economy rebounded. Russia has pulled back most of its
troops from the border with Ukraine, according to a U.S. defense official.
Gold dropped below $1,250 an ounce to a 16-week low and posted the fifth straight
daily decline, the longest slump since April 1. The safe-have premium is waning as
people are gradually shrugging off worries about a slowdown in the U.S. This week,
the metal dropped 3.6 percent, the most since Sept. 13. On May 22, assets in global
exchange-traded funds backed by gold fell to 1,715.8 metric tons, the lowest since
Oct. 2, 2009. This month, gold futures dropped 3.9 percent, the most since December.
The metal has climbed 3.6 percent in 2014.

indicative of a bearish pattern continuing in the near future. Recent US data was
supportive of dollar -core durable goods ordes rose 0.1% in April, US durable goods
orders rose 0.8% compared to previous month. Conference Board Consumer
Confidence Index rose to 83 in May from 81.7 last month,while the Standard &
Poor’s/ Case-Shiller house price index rose 12.4% in March from a year earlier, above
expectations for a gain of 11.8%. Nymex crude slid Wednesday on expectations that
crude-oil supplies rose last week as imports rebounded from a 17-year low. Natural
gas may trade higher. Natural-gas prices jumped to a five-week high Wednesday after
a second day of gains on forecasts for a warm June and it can move in range of 265-
280 in MCX. The international crude oil price of Indian Basket as computed/published
today by Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) under the Ministry of
Petroleum and Natural Gas went down to US$ 107.51 per barrel (bbl) on 28.05.2014.
This was lower than the price of US$ 107.79 per bbl on previous publishing day. Oil
prices have risen in recent sessions on concerns that the Ukraine-Russia conflict will
disrupt crude shipments from Russia, the world's second largest exporter.

Copper Futures
Post Longest
Losing Streak in
Four Weeks.
Copper futures capped the longest slump in four weeks amid concern that demand
will slow in China, the world’s biggest metals consumer.
Chinese home prices fell 0.3 percent in May from April, the first monthly drop since
June 2012, according to SouFun Holdings Ltd., the nation’s biggest real estate website
owner. Prices for copper, used in plumbing and wiring, rose 3.2 percent this month as
exchange-monitored inventories declined. Metals have the look and feel of wanting to
push higher, although slowing growth in China should keep overextended rallies
somewhat in check. Copper futures fell 0.7 percent to settle at $3.1235 a pound at
1:19 p.m. on the Comex in New York. Prices declined for a third straight day, the
longest slide since May 1.
The metal ended the month higher after stockpiles tracked by the London Metal
Exchange plunged 27 percent in May, the biggest drop since 2005.
On the LME, copper for delivery in three months retreated 0.6 percent to $6,845 a
metric ton ($3.11 a pound). The price fell 1.2 percent this week, the most since mid-
March.Aluminum, lead, tin and zinc also dropped in London, while nickel rose.
