BULLION:-
Gold prices traded marginally down Friday morning as
investors purchased riskier assets instead of seeking a safe haven in gold,
amid hopes for a new round of U.S.-China trade talks. Spot gold declined 0.3
percent to $1,202.30 per ounce, after earlier hitting its highest level since
Aug. 28 at $1,212.49. Bullion gained 0.7 percent in the previous session in its
biggest single-day rise since Aug. 24. U.S. gold futures for December delivery
settled down $2.70, or 0.2 percent, at $1,208.20 per ounce. The dollar index
declined against a basket of major currencies after data showed U.S. consumer
prices increased less than expected in August, paring traders’ outlook that
domestic inflation is accelerating. A weaker dollar typically makes
dollar-priced gold less expensive for holders of other currencies, but the
correlation broke on Thursday. The CPI data came after soft U.S. wholesale
price data undermined the case for a faster pace of policy tightening by the
Fed. The U.S. central bank is widely expected to raise benchmark interest rates
at its September meeting. Higher rates make gold less attractive since it does
not pay interest and costs to store and insure. In trade talks, senior U.S.
METALS:-
London copper edged lower on Friday, pulling back from a
two-week high reached in the prior session, as investors exercised caution
ahead of possible trade talks between the United States and China to resolve an
escalating tariff war. China will not buckle to U.S. demands in any trade
negotiations, the major state-run China Daily newspaper said in an editorial on
Friday, after Chinese officials welcomed an invitation from Washington for a
new round of talks. Investors were also eyeing a slew of Chinese data due out
this morning for trading cues, including industrial output and retail sales.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange was down 0.3 percent at $6,015
a tonne. The industrial metal has gained 1.4 percent so far this week, having
hit a two-week top of $6,074 on Thursday. The mosttraded November copper
contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange rose 0.7 percent to 48,560 yuan a
tonne.
ENERGY:-
Oil on Friday clawed back some of its losses from the
previous session, when prices fell the most in a month, as concerns about oil
supply are countering worries that emerging market crises and trade disputes
could dent demand. Brent crude was up 8 cents, or 0.1 percent, at $78.26 a
barrel, after falling 2 percent on Thursday. The global benchmark rose on
Wednesday to its highest since May 22 at $80.13. U.S. West Texas Intermediate
(WTI) futures were up 18 cents, or 0.2 percent, at 68.76 a barrel, after
dropping 2.5 percent on Thursday. Brent is heading for a 1.8 percent gain this
week, while WTI is on track for a 1.5 percent increase. The International
Energy Agency on Thursday warned that although the oil market was tightening at
the moment and world oil demand would reach 100 million barrels per day (bpd)
in the next three months, global economic risks were mounting.
