Gold and silver prices moved lower due to a stronger US dollar, with gold hitting a nine-month low and silver dropping 19% over the past three months. Copper futures also edged lower due to weaker-than-expected Chinese manufacturing data, adding to concerns over China's economy. Crude oil futures took a beating as investors ditched the commodity on worries about ample global supply and soft demand. Most metals were expected to continue moving lower, with recommendations to sell gold and silver on rallies.

Fundamental News:
• Gold futures hit a fresh nine-month low on Tuesday, as a broadly stronger U.S. dollar dampened the appeal of the precious metal.
• Gold futures are on track for a 9.2% drop in the three months ending September 30, while silver prices are almost 19% lower since the end of June, amid speculation a strengthening economic recovery in the U.S. would prompt the Federal Reserve to hike rates sooner and faster than previously expected..

6. 01st Oct’14 Aaj Ka Trend
Fundamental News:
• Crude futures took a beating on Tuesday, the last day of the third quarter, as investors ditched the commodity on concerns that the global market is awash in crude while demand remains soft.
• Investors finished the third quarter abandoning oil positions on concerns that the global oil supply remains very ample and far outstrips demand.
• Oil has seen some support in the past on perceptions that the U.S. economy may offset softening demand in Europe and Asia, but a disappointing consumer confidence report released earlier exacerbated the selloff.
