3. SILVER - We continue to see more and more precious metals investors becoming negative because the metal
prices or values have not performed as many have expected. While We thought the silver prices would correct
back higher sooner. However, the revaluation of Silver is not away as some who believe that the Fed and
Central Banks will continue manipulating the market indefinitely. Although there would be some good tactical
opportunities to invest in silver in the coming weeks, While there was something of a correction in Silver in the
latter part of this week, our view of it as a valuable asset to hold in an inflationary backdrop remained. Silver
prices rallied higher in COMEX about 0.8% and trading in a range of $18.35 to $18.43. Silver prices were
likely to face its important resistance at $ 18.5. A break above $18.5 with volumes could take prices to new high

7. MCX - WEEKLY NEWS LETTERS
INTERNATIONAL UPDATES ( BULLION & ENERGY )✍
Gold prices retreated from five-month highs on Friday as the stronger dollar weighed on the precious metal.
Gold for June delivery settled up 0.21% at $1,255.95 on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile
Exchange, having touched highs of $1,272.85 earlier. Prices surged early Friday after the U.S. launched
cruise missile strikes on a Syrian air base in the aftermath of suspected chemical-weapons attacks. But the
precious metal gave back gains as the dollar rose despite disappointing U.S. employment data as investors
remained focused on the Federal Reserve’s plans to tighten monetary policy. The Labor Department reported
on Friday that the U.S. economy added just 98,000 jobs last month, the fewest since last May and well below
the forecast for jobs growth of 180,000. Lower temperatures and winter storms accounted for the slowdown
in hiring. The unemployment rate ticked down to a 10-year low of 4.5%, pointing to underlying strength in
the labor market. The dollar initially sold off following the release of the weaker-than-anticipated
employment data before regaining ground. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength
against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, was up 0.47% to 101.08, the most since March 15
late Friday. The dollar was boosted after New York Fed President William Dudley said on Friday that plans
to trim the Fed’s balance sheet later this year would prompt only a "little pause" in its rate hike plans. A
strong U.S. dollar usually weighs on gold, as it dampens the metal's appeal as an alternative asset and makes
dollar-priced commodities more expensive for holders of other currencies. Elsewhere in precious metals
trading, silver was down 1.39% at $17.99 a troy ounce late Friday.
In the week ahead, investors will be eyeing Monday’s speech by Fed Chair Janet Yellen for fresh cues on the
timing of the next U.S. rate hike and plans to trim the bank’s balance sheet.Traders will also be looking
ahead to Friday’s U.S. data on retail sales and inflation ahead of the long Easter weekend.
Gold demand in Asia remained soft this week, with premiums in China notching a slight uptick and those in
India remaining unchanged, as higher prices kept physical buyers at bay. Indian demand for the yellow metal
fell this week primarily due to a rally in overseas rates, though an appreciating rupee capped upside in local
prices. "Retail buyers are struggling to adjust with the sudden price rise. They are delaying purchases
expecting a correction in prices. In the local market, gold futures MAUc1 were trading around 28,900 rupees
per 10 grams on Friday, up 1.5 percent from a week ago. "If prices remain at higher level for a week or if
they rise above 29,000 rupees then people will resume buying. They are waiting for a clear trend,". The
Indian rupee has risen 5.5 percent against the U.S. dollar so far in 2017, partly offsetting gains in overseas
gold prices. Dealers in India were charging a premium of up to $1 an ounce this week over official domestic
prices, unchanged from the last week. The domestic price includes a 10 percent import tax. "The demand
should improve by month end due to Akshaya Trititya," said a Mumbai-based gold dealer with a private
bank. In the last week of April, Indians will celebrate the Akshaya Trititya festival, when buying gold
considered auspicious. In top consumer China, premiums were around $10 to $12 per ounce against the

8. international benchmark XAU= , up from last week's to $8 to $10. "The demand has been quite stable this
year. While investors are looking to sell, the physical flows are quite stable," a trader with a Shanghai-based
bullion bank said. Premiums in China had risen early this month as traders said supplies of the precious
metal were limited due to tightening import restrictions to stem currency outflows. Hong Kong, premiums
were quoted in a range of 70 cents to $1 an ounce, mostly unchanged from last week, while in Singapore,
gold was being sold at premiums between around $1.20 to $1.50. "A lot of people, mostly high net worth
investors, have been looking into gold kilo bars purely for investments as a safe-haven," said Brian Lan,
managing director at gold dealer GoldSilver Central in Singapore. Premiums were flat in Tokyo due to
limited demand. Traders, however, said demand for platinum has risen on industrial buying. Gold prices
were on track for its fourth straight weekly gain, with the bullion rising over 1 percent so far this week.
Gold prices climbed to five-month highs on Friday, as news of U.S. airstrikes against Syria boosted demand
for safe-haven assets. On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold futures for June
delivery were up 0.89% at a five-month high of $1,264.55. The June contract ended Thursday’s session
0.38% higher at $1,253.30 an ounce. Futures were likely to find support at $ 1,254.40, Wednesday’s low and
resistance at $1,318,60. The precious metal strengthened after the U.S. launched cruise missiles at an airbase
in Syria, sparking concerns of an escalation in the Syrian civil war. U.S. President Donald Trump said on
Thursday he ordered missile strikes against a Syrian airfield from which a deadly chemical weapons attack
was launched. The air strike came during a two-day summit between Trump and Chinese President Xi
Jinping which, on Thursday, had a strong focus on trade and North Korea's military program. Trump had
warned that he would be ready to act unilaterally to address North Korea's nuclear program if China does not
step up to help in the matter. Market participants were also looking ahead to the U.S. nonfarm payrolls
report, due later Friday, a day after the release of upbeat jobless claims data. Elsewhere in metals trading,
silver futures for May delivery jumped 1% to $18.428 a troy ounce, while copper futures for May delivery
declined 0.53% to $2.645 a pound.

Gold spiked to five-month peaks Friday in Asia after the U.S. military launched cruise missile strikes against
a Syrian air base controlled by President Bashar al-Assad's forces. Gold for April delivery on the Comex
division of the New York Mercantile Exchange rose 0.93% to $1,265.00 a troy ounce. Copper dipped 0.04%
to $2.658 a pound. The missile strike came after President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi
Jinping in Florida for a summit that is expected to focus in major part on North Korea. Overnight, gold
prices traded higher on Thursday, despite increased expectations of a June rate hike, after the release of a
better than expected initial jobless claims report. Gold futures eased from a session high $1,260.65, after the
U.S. Department of Labor reported that initial jobless claims decreased by 25,000 to 234,000 in the week
ending April 1 from the previous week’s revised total of 259,000. Analysts had expected jobless claims to
drop by 8,000 to 250,000 last week. Meanwhile, expectations of June rate hike grew, after the Federal
Reserve released the minutes from its March meeting on Wednesday. The Federal Reserve said that it would
start to unwind its $ 4.5 trillion balance sheet “later this year” and maintained its view, rate hikes would be
gradual. Some analysts supported the idea that the Federal Reserve is poised to increase interest rates in
June. “We have expressed a strong conviction that, unless the data deteriorate or financial conditions ratchet
tighter, the Fed will next hike rates at its June meeting.” 58% of traders expect a rate hike in June compared
to 50% of traders prior to the release of the Fed minutes. Gold is sensitive to moves in U.S. rates, which lift
the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets such as bullion. Meanwhile, a two-day summit between
U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping later today, is expected to be closely
watched by investors, as a negative outcome could weigh on China-U.S. trade relations.
Gold prices firmed in European trading on Tuesday, extending gains into a third session as investors turned
their attention to U.S. trade data ahead of President Donald Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi
Jinping. Comex gold futures rose $ 5.80, or around 0.5%, to $ 1,259.80 a troy ounce by 2:55 AM ET, after
hitting an overnight high of $ 1,260.15, its strongest level in a week. Meanwhile, spot gold was up $4.20 at $
1,257.80. Prices of the yellow metal ended gained $ 2.80 on Monday as investors parsed through mixed
manufacturing data and weaker-than-expected auto sales numbers. Also on the Comex, silver futures for
May delivery tacked on 15.0 cents, or about 0.8%, to $18.36 a troy ounce. It reached its highest since March
2 at $18.37 earlier. The U.S. trade deficit data is scheduled for release Tuesday at 8:30AM ET. Economists
expect it to have narrowed in February to $ 44.8 billion from a five-year high of $ 48.5 billion a month
earlier. The main focus for markets this week centers on President Donald Trump's first meeting with
Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Thursday and Friday. The U.S. dollar index was at 100.44 in London
morning trade, keeping distance from last week's four-and-a-half month low of 98.67. Market experts do not
expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again until June. Futures traders are pricing in around a 50%
chance of a hike at the Fed's June meeting. Odds of a September increase was seen at about 75%. The
precious metal is sensitive to moves in U.S. rates, which lift the opportunity cost of holding Non-Yielding
assets such as bullion. A gradual path to higher rates is seen as less of a threat to gold prices than a swift
series of increases. Elsewhere in metals trading.

10. Gold rose on Monday on geopolitical worries, but was trading in a tight range in the absence of any fresh
clues on U.S. monetary policy and as the market looked to economic data later in the week for more
direction. Supporting gold was geopolitical tension sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump who on Sunday
held out the possibility of using trade as a lever to secure Chinese cooperation against North Korea. equity
markets eased on Monday as investors assessed how Trump's protectionist stance on trade will play out
during meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping slated for Thursday and Friday. Spot gold XAU= was 0.3
percent higher at $ 1,252.66 per ounce by 2:15 p.m. EDT, trading in a range between $ 1,244.05 and $
1,253.52. "While the European elections, Brexit negotiations and Trump's foreign policies could reignite
safe-haven interest, gold is not without hurdles. "We believe the fragile physical market and Fed rate hikes
will create a softer footing for gold prices. We maintain our view that Q2 and Q3-2017 are likely to mark the
strongest quarters for gold prices this year." Gold is often seen as an alternative investment during times of
geopolitical and financial uncertainty. Bullion largely shrugged off a firmer dollar .DXY, which hit a two-
week high against a basket of currencies before easing to trade up 0.2 percent. The dollar was up after U.S.
construction spending and manufacturing data on Monday were positive overall, affirming the economy's
steady improvement. is holding well in spite of being torn between buyers and sellers now as interest rate
curve flattening in the U.S. indicates possibly less inflation. New York Fed President William Dudley, an
influential monetary policymaker, did not comment on interest rates in his prepared remarks on Monday.
The focus has now turned to U.S. payrolls data on Friday which could provide more clues on the direction of
interest rates. Spot gold notched a quarterly gain of about 8.4 percent on Friday, marking its best quarter in a
year, mostly driven by uncertainties around Trump's policies and elections in Europe. Hedge funds and
money managers raised their net long position in COMEX gold for the second straight week in the week to
March 28, and boosted it slightly in silver, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data showed on
Friday. other precious metals, spot silver XAG= edged down 0.3 percent to $ 18.17 per ounce but held near
one-month highs.
Gold prices edged lower on Monday, kicking the week off with modest losses as investors awaited fresh
signals about the timing of the next U.S. interest rate increase this year. Comex gold futures dipped $ 2.50,
or around 0.2%, to $ 1,248.65 a troy ounce by 2:45AM ET. Meanwhile, spot gold was down $ 2.30 at $
1,246.80. Also on the Comex, silver futures for May delivery shed 5.3 cents, or about 0.3%, to $ 18.20 a troy
ounce. Global financial markets will focus on Wednesday’s minutes of the Federal Reserve’s latest policy
meeting for further hints on the timing of the next U.S. rate hike. There are also a few Fed speakers in the
coming week, with New York Fed President William Dudley, Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker and
Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker all set to speak Monday. Dudley is on tap again on Friday. Investors
will also keep an eye on key U.S. economic data, with Friday's monthly employment report in the spotlight.

Oil prices were firm on Monday, supported by strong demand and political uncertainty in Syria, although
another rise in U.S. drilling activity kept a lid on gains. Brent crude futures LCOc1 , the international
benchmark for oil, were at $ 55.39 per barrel at 0109 GMT, up 15 cents, or 0.3 percent, from their last close.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures CLc1 were up 24 cents, or 0.5 percent, at $52.48 a barrel.
Traders said prices were being supported by strong demand, and also political uncertainty following the U.S.
missile air strikes on Syria late last week. ANZ bank said on Monday that strong oil demand and "an
unsettled global backdrop (is) leaving the market very finely balanced." However, another increase in U.S.
oil drilling, which has run up for 12 straight weeks to 672 rigs - the highest level since August 2015, kept
markets from breaking last week's one-month highs of over $56 per barrel. bank Goldman Sachs said
following the rig data release that year-on-year U.S. oil production "would rise by 215,000 barrels per day in
2017" once a backlog of production waiting to be brought back online was taken into account.
Oil futures settled higher for the fourth session in a row on Friday, extending a rally to the strongest level in
around a month after the U.S. fired missiles at a Syrian government air base. Oil pared some of the gains
later in the session as concerns about a wider escalation in the region faded and U.S. economic data weighed
on global markets. On the ICE Futures Exchange in London, Brent oil for June delivery tacked on 35 cents,
or around 0.7%, to settle at $ 55.24 a barrel by close of trade. The global benchmark hit $56.08 earlier
Friday, the most since March 7. London-traded Brent futures logged a gain of $1.71, or about 3.1%, on the
week, the second weekly increase in a row. Elsewhere, the U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude May contract
inched up 54 cents to end at $52.24 a barrel by close of trade. It touched its highest since March 7 at $52.94
earlier in the session. For the week, the U.S. benchmark rose $1.64, or around 3.1%. Crude prices jumped
overnight after two U.S. destroyers based in the Eastern Mediterranean fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at
a Syrian air base, which the U.S. said was in retaliation to Bashar al-Assad's alleged use of chemical
weapons against his own people. But analysts said the initial knee-jerk reaction to the airstrike may have
been overdone given Syria’s role as a very minor oil producer and after U.S. officials described the attack as
a one-off event that would not lead to wider escalation. Meanwhile, oil traders continued to focus on the
ongoing rebound in U.S. shale production, which could derail efforts by other major producers to rebalance
global oil supply and demand remained in focus. Oilfield services provider Baker Hughes said late Friday
that the number of active U.S. rigs drilling for oil rose by 10 last week, the 12th weekly increase in a row.
That brought the total count to 672, the most since September 2015. Earlier in the week, the U.S. Energy
Information Administration said that crude oil inventories increased by 1.57 million barrels to yet another
all-time high of 535.5 million. It was the 13th weekly build in U.S. stockpiles in the past 15 weeks, feeding
concerns about a global glut. Market participants, however, remained optimistic that OPEC would extend its

13. current deal with non-OPEC producers to cut output beyond June in an effort to rebalance the market.
In November last year, OPEC and other producers, including Russia agreed to cut output by about 1.8
million barrels per day between January and June. A joint committee of ministers from OPEC and non-
OPEC oil producers will meet in late April to present its recommendation on the fate of the pact. A final
decision on whether or not to extend the deal beyond June will be taken by the oil cartel on May 25.
Elsewhere on Nymex, gasoline futures for May tacked on 1.6 cents, or about 1% to end at its highest since
August 2015 at $1.746 on Friday. It closed up around 2.7% for the week. May heating oil added 1.5 cents to
finish at $1.628 a gallon, the most since March 1. For the week, the fuel gained roughly 3.5%. Natural gas
futures for May delivery dropped 7.0 cents to $3.261 per million British thermal units, trimming its weekly
gain to around 2.2%. In the week ahead, market participants will eye fresh weekly information on U.S.
stockpiles of crude and refined products on Tuesday and Wednesday to gauge the strength of demand in the
world’s largest oil consumer. Meanwhile, traders will also continue to pay close attention to comments from
global oil producers for further evidence that they are complying with their agreement to reduce output this
year.
Oil pared gains Friday after rising as much as 2% in a knee-jerk reaction to U.S. air strikes against Syria.
The strikes were against an airbase which the U.S. claims was use to launch the chemical bombing of a
rebel-held area. The move sparked concerns about a possible disruption to oil supplies. Major producers
Russia and Iran are backers of the Syrian regime. U.S. crude was up 45 cents, or 0.87%, at $ 52.15 at 07:15
ET. Brent crude added 35 cents, or 0.64%, to $ 55.24. Baker Hughes rig count data are due out later in the
session. There are underlying concerns that higher U.S. output could cancel out the impact of cuts by major
producers. OPEC and non-OPEC producers are cutting output by 1.8 million barrels a day in the first half.
Oil prices soared by around $ 1 per barrel on Friday after the United States launched dozens of cruise
missiles at an airbase in Syria. U.S President Donald Trump said he had ordered missile strikes against a
Syrian airfield from which a deadly chemical weapons attack was launched earlier this week, declaring he
acted in America's "national security interest" against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. tepid trading before
the news, Brent crude futures LCOc1 , the international benchmark for oil, jumped by around $ 1 per barrel,
or almost 2 percent, to $55.78 per barrel by 0237 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures CLc1
also climbed around $1 per barrel, or almost 2 percent, to $52.64 a barrel. It was the highest level for both
benchmarks since early March. The strikes rattled global markets. While oil prices surged as traders priced
in what has in the past been called a Middle East risk premium, and safe-haven products like gold jumped
=XAU , stock markets and the U.S. dollar .DXY slumped. U.S. officials said the military had fired dozens of
cruise missiles against the airbase, controlled by Assad's forces, in response to a poison gas attack on
Tuesday in a rebel-held area. The Pentagon said it had informed Russia ahead of the strikes, and that it did
not target sections of the base in Syria where Russian forces were believed to be present.
Oil prices dipped on Friday as ongoing concerns about oversupply outweighed an OPEC-led production cut
and strong refinery activity. Brent crude futures LCOc1 , the international benchmark for oil, were at $54.85
per barrel at 0109 GMT, down 4 cents from their last close. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures

14. CLc1 were down 1 cent at $ 51.69 a barrel. Traders said that despite a recent uptick in sentiment, which this
week helped prices reach a one-month high, there was still concern that markets remained oversupplied,
even with efforts led by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to cut supplies to prop up prices.
Oil trading data in Thomson Reuters Eikon shows that globally shipped crude volumes stood at 1.4 billion
barrels in March, up from 1.1 billion barrels in February, although on a daily basis the figure was similar to
February's 45.5 million bpd due to that month's fewer days. Both figures, however, were higher than at any
time during the second half of 2016, before the OPEC-led cuts were implemented, implying either poor
compliance with the supply reductions, or plentiful alternative supplies. Despite this, there were factors
supporting prices, especially strong demand from refineries, and a supply disruption in Canada. "Utilisation
rates at refineries jumped 1.9 percent to 90.8 percent, which should result in a drawdown in U.S. crude oil in
coming weeks. "A disruption at a Canadian oil sands operation is also raising concerns of tightness in heavy
Alberta oil. A fire at Syncrude Canada's a 350,000 barrels per day plant could be offline for weeks," it added.
The disruption stemmed from the shutdown of the Syncrude plant after a fire in March damaged the facility
and forced the operator to bring forward planned maintenance.
Crude prices jumped in Asia on Friday after the U.S. fired dozens of missiles into Syria in response to a
chemical weapons attack on civilians. On the New York Mercantile Exchange crude futures for May
delivery spiked 1.51% to $52.48 a barrel, while on London's Intercontinental Exchange, Brent gained 1.55%
$55.70 a barrel. Meanwhile, market participants turn attention to Baker Hughes rig count, due to be released
on Friday at 13:00 EDT. Overnight, crude futures settled higher on Thursday, as expectations that an OPEC-
led cut would be extended beyond June offset bearish U.S. inventories data. Crude futures settled higher for
a third straight day, despite renewed concerns that a ramp up in U.S. crude production would dampened
OPEC’s efforts to reduce supply, after U.S. crude inventories swelled to a record high on Wednesday. A
report from the Energy Information Administration on Wednesday, showed an unexpected rise in U.S. crude
inventories, which confounded expectations of a drop in inventories, as the U.S. approaches the ‘summer
driving season’. The summer driving season officially kicks off in April, when U.S. consumer demand for
gasoline usually peaks during the summer months. Investors, remained hopeful that OPEC would extend its
current deal to cut production beyond June in an effort to curb the current glut in supply. In November last
year, OPEC and other producers, including Russia agreed to cut output by about 1.8 million barrels per day.
Non-OPEC oil producers that joined the global deal to reduce output delivered only 64% of promised cuts in
February, an industry source said March 20, which was far below the roughly 90% compliance with the deal
from OPEC members.

Oil climbed to a near one-month high on Wednesday on signs of a gradual tightening in global oil
inventories and on concerns about a supply outage at a field in the United Kingdom's North Sea that feeds
into an international benchmark price. Prices for Brent crude futures LCOc1 , the international benchmark
for oil, were at $ 54.46 per barrel at 0457 GMT, up 29 cents, or 0.5 percent, from their last close. U.S. West
Texas Intermediate crude futures CLc1 were up 33 cents, or 0.6 percent, at $ 51.35 a barrel. Both
benchmarks on Wednesday hit their highest levels since March 8. "The immediate reason for the move was
an unplanned production outage in the North Sea unplanned production outage at the Buzzard oil field in the
North Sea. produces about 180,000 barrels per day. It is the largest contributor to the Forties crude stream
that is a key component of the physical Brent oil price that the Brent futures contract settles against. Traders
also said that prices gained amid slowly tightening market conditions, with the Organization of the
Petroleum Exporting Countries leading an effort to cut output. With most of OPEC's crude exported on
tankers, tracking ship movements can be a good gauge of market conditions. Shipped oil supplies have fallen
by as much as 17 percent this year. The U.S. rig count rose for an 11th straight week last week to 662,
making the first quarter of 2017 the strongest quarter for rig additions since mid-2011, according to energy
services firm Baker Hughes. Following a slump in 2015 and 2016, U.S. oil production C-OUT-T-EIA has
risen 8.5 percent since mid-2016 to 9.15 million bpd, the same level output stood at in 2014, when the
market downturn began. "Price upside will... be capped by the recovering U.S. shale sector.
Oil prices climbed on Wednesday on signs of gradual tightening in a market bloated by years of
overproduction that has left storage tanks around the world brimming with unsold fuel. Prices for front-
month Brent crude futures LCOc1 , the international benchmark for oil, were at $54.28 per barrel at 0149
GMT, up 11 cents from their last close. In the United States, West Texas Intermediate crude futures CLc1

Shipped oil supplies have reduced by as much as 17 percent since the beginning of the year. "We have seen a
significant reduction in global oil supply since January, with oil on water going from 978 million barrels on
Jan. 1 to 812 million barrels on April 3.

16. Oil prices fell on Tuesday as a rebound in Libyan oil production combined with an increase in U.S. drilling
to signal the potential for increased crude supply.International Brent LCOc1 crude futures were trading
down 22 cents, or 0.41 percent at $ 52.9 a barrel as of 0643 GMT from the previous session. U.S. benchmark
West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices CLc1 were down 23 cents, or 0.46 percent, to $ 50.01 a barrel. U.S.
oil may drop to $ 49.62 per barrel as it failed to break a resistance at $ 50.95. Brent oil may also retrace its
steps back to $ 52.79 per barrel. oil prices fell as increased drilling in the United States and a rebound in
Libyan output weighed on investor sentiment. Libya's crude output increased after state-owned National Oil
Corp lifted a force majeure on loadings of Sharara oil from the Zawiya terminal in the west of the country,
sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. U.S. drillers last week added rigs for an 11th
week in a row,
data from energy services company Baker Hughes showed on Friday, extending a 10-month drilling
recovery. OPEC producers are also raising output. Iran's exports of crude oil and gas condensate hit a record
3.05 million barrels per day by March 20, the end of the Iranian month of Esfand, according to a report by
the Islamic Republic News Agency. oil market continues to look for signs of a tightening market as concerns
linger that compliance with producer-led output cuts remains insufficient to erode a supply glut and the
United States raises oil output. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, and non-OPEC
members including Russia, agreed late last year to cut output by almost 1.8 million barrels per day in the
first half of 2017. The market's focus has now shifted to whether the major oil producers will extend the cuts.
Oil prices edged lower in early Asian trading on Tuesday as a rebound in Libyan production put pressure on
the market, along with a rise in U.S. drilling rig capacity that signals potential for increased supply.
International Brent LCOc1 crude futures were trading down 3 cents at $ 53.09 a barrel at 0141 GMT from

Russia, agreed late last year to cut output by almost 1.8 million barrels per day in the first half of 2017. The
market's focus has now shifted whether the major oil producers will extend the cuts.
China's loadings of West African crude oil are expected to slip in April from the record level reached the
month before, according to a Reuters survey of shipping fixtures and oil traders on Monday. West Africa's
loadings for China, the world's second-largest oil consumer, are on track to fall to 1.357 million barrels per
day, down from their highest ever tracked by Reuters, 1.41 million bpd, in March. Overall loadings for Asia

17. fell to 2.07 million bpd as a result, roughly 2 percent lower than March. Spring refinery maintenance across
Asia has cut consumption, while the decline has also followed months of strong imports. "The east has been
buying huge amounts of crude ... They need to find a way to digest these barrels, either by processing them
or by storing them," Asia, and China in particular, has been absorbing rising amounts of West African oil in
recent months, much of it from Angola. The region's overall crude oil deliveries jumped 13.7 percent in
March to 105.03 million tonnes. Storing oil has also become less attractive this year as contango, the gap
between current prices and those in the future, has narrowed, cutting the potential profit of holding barrels of
oil.
Ahead of the coming week significant events likely to affect the markets.
Tuesday, April 11
The American Petroleum Institute, an industry group, is to publish its weekly report on U.S. oil supplies.
Wednesday, April 12
The U.S. Energy Information Administration is to release weekly data on oil and gasoline stockpiles.
