Gold advanced overnight to open at 1332.50/1333.50. It retreated to a low of 1328.25/1329.25 as investors gauged the pace of economic
recovery in the U.S. while Chinese data showed a decline in the rise of home prices for the first time in over a year. The metal then surged
Gold
to a four-month high of 1338.50/1339.50 tracking gains in U.S. equities buoyed by M&A activity as the S&P 500 reached an all-time high
while the Nasdaq touched a 14-year high amidst a wide market rally. Thereafter, it was mostly range bound to finally close the day at
1337.00/1338.00.

Gold had a strong rally today, breaching resistance in the 1330's from previous highs, and closing at 1337. Unfortunately there is some
RSI divergence, as RSI failed to make a new high on the new price high. We will watch this development, but remain bullish so long as
gold trades above support in the 1308 level. The next resistance is at 1337; today's close, as this is also the 61.8% retracement of the Aug
to Dec 2013 downtrend. The next resistance is at 1360-62, the highs from Oct 2013.


Gold gained as investors grew more anxious about economic and political uncertainty over Ukraine.
Weak U.S. manufacturing data and a slowdown in rise in home prices in China raised fresh concerns over the economies, drawing
investors towards gold.


SPDR gold trust holding gained by by 3.30 tonnes i.e. 0.41% to 801.61 tonnes from 798.31 tonnes.
Silver moved higher overnight to open at 22.00/22.05. It dropped to a low of 21.90/21.95 before climbing to a high of 22.15/22.20
as the 10-day MA moved above the 200-day MA, prior to concluding the session at 22.02/22.07.
Silver

Silver also closed higher at 22.02, stalling very close to resistance in the 21.97 level. This is the 50% retracement of the Aug to Dec
2013 downtrend. There is also bearish RSI divergence as noted with gold. However, we remain bullish so long as we hold 21.32,
the 38.2% retracement of the same downtrend. The next resistance is at 22.71, the 61.8% retracement level.

The gold-silver ratio is trading slightly higher at 60.75. Since its big drop on Feb 14th through its uptrend support line, the ratio has
been consolidating. We are bearish the ratio as long as it stays below this prior support line, which is currently at 62.10. The risk is
for a full retracement to the 57.10 low from Sep 2013.

The recent patch of soft U.S. economic data fuelled expectations that U.S. monetary policy will remain accommodative.

3
Silver rose as doubts over the U.S. economic recovery boosted the appeal of the precious metal.

Holdings at ishares silver trust gained by 0.12% i.e. 11.97 tonnes to 10159.49 tonnes from 10147.52 tonnes.

9.6% in January from a year earlier, easing from the previous month's 9.9% increase.
It was the first slowdown in the rate of price increases since November 2012. The slight deceleration comes amid attempts by
policymakers to cool the property sector and rein in lending.
Meanwhile, market players looked ahead to key U.S. data later in the week to further gauge the strength of the economy. The U.S. is
to publish revised data on fourth quarter economic growth, while data on durable goods orders and consumer confidence will also be
in focus.
The U.S. is second behind China in global copper demand.
Data from the Commodities Futures Trading Commission released Friday showed that hedge funds and money managers significantly
reduced their bearish bets in copper futures in the week ending February 18.

Elsewhere, on the ICE Futures Exchange in London, Brent oil futures for April delivery were up 0.02% and trading at US$110.68 a
barrel, while the spread between the Brent and U.S. crude contracts stood at US$8.07 a barrel.
