COMEX Gold is holding steady after being supported in the last session though the
worries over investment demand are curbing the upside in the yellow metal. As per
the latest Gold Demand Trends report released by World Gold Council, world gold
demand for Q22014 was 964 tonnes, down 16% year on year from 1,148 tonnes
followed by a major drop in bar and coin demand. COMEX Gold futures are trading at
$1314.10 per ounce, down 20 centsper ounce on the day. Prices had hit a three week
high around $1325 per ounce last Friday. MCX Gold futures for October are trading at
Rs 28679 per 10 grams, down Rs 9 per 10 gramson the day. As per the latest Gold
Demand Trends report released by World Gold Council, world golddemand for Q2
2014 was 964 tonnes, down 16% year on year from 1,148 tonnes, central
bankpurchases rose 28 % year on year, to 118 tonnes from 92 tonnes, total bar and
coin demandfell by 56% year on year to 275 tonnes from 628 tonnes, ETF outflows
were 40 tonnes, atenth of the outflows seen in the same period last year. Total
jewellery demand fell by 30% year on year, to 510 tonnes from 727 tonnes.
Technology demand came in at 101 tonnes,down 3% versus the same period last year.
Total supply increased by 10% to 1,078 tonnes.
ConocoPhillips (COP) and Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA) are among global oil
companies needing crude prices as high as $150 a barrel to turn a profit from
Canada’s oil sands, the costliest petroleum projects in the world, according to a
study. The next most-expensive crude projects are in the deep waters off the coasts
of Africa and Brazil, with each venture needing prices between $115 and $127 a
barrel.
As the U.S. shale drilling boom floods the world’s biggest crude market with supply,
explorers are at greater risk of a price collapse that would turn some investments
into money losers. Energy explorers are willing to invest in high-cost oil-sands
developments because once they are up and running, they produce crude for
decades longer than other ventures such as deepwater wells. “Where else can you
get 10 to 30 years of predictable cash flow?” estimated new oil sands projects require
$60 to $100 crude to make sense. “The returns may not be stellar compared to some
other projects but they are steady.”

Copper
Rebounds as U.S.
Factory Output
Beats Estimates.
Copper rose in London for the first time in six sessions as factory production topped
analyst estimates in the U.S., the world’s second-largest metal consumer.
Output at manufacturers increased in July at the fastest pace in five months and was
more than estimated, figures from the Federal Reserve showed today.
Global copper inventories monitored by exchanges in London, New York and Shanghai
fell for the second straight week. “The strong factory number might promote some
buying.
Copper for delivery in three months rose 0.7 percent to settle at $6,870 a metric ton
($3.12 a pound) at 5:50 p.m. on the London Metal Exchange. This week, the price fell
1.8 percent, the third straight drop, partly amid signs of stalled economies in Germany,
the third-biggest user, and France. Aluminum, lead and tin advanced today in London,
while zinc and nickel declined. Copper futures for December delivery rose 0.4 percent
to $3.1245 a pound on the Comex in New York. The price has dropped 8 percent this
year. China is the top consumer.
