2. MAJOR EVENTS
Gold is trading steady today after gaining impressively in the last session. A modest
uptick in US dollar and further rise in US equities capped the metal after a slightly
dovish view of the US Fed took it to a three week high. Bargain buying lifted the metal
sharply as the Fed noted that US economic activity has been expanding moderately
after having changed little during the first quarter. The Fed also stated that growth in
household spending has been moderate and the housing sector has shown some
improvement; however, business fixed investment and net exports stayed soft. This
kept the US dollar under stress and boosted gold.
The yellow metal has been facing constant pressure this week though the recent
surge has ensured that counter extends rally from a two and half month low. Reduced
speculative demand is also hitting the metal after prices tested their two and half
month lows at the start of this month. A mixed undertone is being seen equities right
now and COMEX Gold is currently trading at $1199 per ounce, down 0.25% on the
day. MCX Gold futures for August are trading at Rs 27145 per 10 grams, down 0.04%
on the day. MCX Silver futures are trading at Rs 36850 per kg, down 0.11% on the day.
Crude oil may move in range amid mixed fundamentals as EIA inventory data today
will give further direction to the prices. Overall it can move in range of 3800-3900 in
MCX, as per SMC Global report. MCX Crude Oil June contract was trading up by 0.21
per cent to 3857 levels on Wednesday(11.57am).U.S. crude prices rose on Tuesday as
a tropical storm moved ashore in the oil-producing state of Texas, but global
oversupply limited gains and pressured Brent futures. Gasoline stocks are expected to
be down 300,000 barrels.
A crude oil drop would be a seventh consecutive draw recorded by the government,
with the next Energy Information Administration report due on Wednesday at 10:30
a.m. EDT. Tropical Storm Bill went ashore on the Texas Gulf Coast and is expected to
bring heavy rains and strong winds. Last year, active oil rigs were at 1,536. This means
the current oil rigs are 59% lower than the levels last year. OPEC's (Organization of
the Petroleum Exporting Countries) largest crude oil producer is Saudi Arabia. It
continued to produce more than 10 MMbpd (million barrels per day) in May 2015.

Olympic Dam Mine
Resumes Copper
Production, Prices
Already Rolling
Lower.
BHP Billiton Olympic Dam mine has started the Copper production 2 months ahead of
schedule that is set to keep already bearish prices of Copper under check. The prices
of Copper has been trading at a three months low on COMEX as the worries from
ailing demand from China and lack of support from US policy makers tumbled hopes
for recovery.
The Federal Reserve is all set to move towards rate hikes that will suck the liquidity
from the riskier assets like Copper. It would be the first increase since the rate was cut
to near zero during the 2008 financial crisis. However, the bank said conditions in the
labour market and inflation did not yet warrant an increase.
Coming to the news of BHP Billiton, a forecast 60,000 to 70,000 metric tons of output
has been lost as repairs after the electric failure in January. The news is set to add the
woes to the recovery in Copper as the streamlining of production will increase the
supplies.
Indian Copper prices have seen a decline of 1.5% today and were sulking at Rs 361.2
per kg. The prices declined to Rs 360.4 per kg and a high of Rs 368.7.
