BULLION - Bullion counter may remain on weaker side as gold hovered on Tuesday near a five-week low touched in the previous session as rising U.S. Treasury yields boosted the dollar, making gold expensive for holders in other currencies. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday he thought the United States and China were �on the cusp� of a deal to end their trade war, adding to positive signs about negotiations from both sides of the Pacific. China has set its 2019 economic growth target at 6.0 to 6.5 percent, Premier Li Keqiang said in his annual work report on Tuesday, lower than last year�s goal of around 6.5 percent. Gold can dip lower towards 32200 while facing resistance near 32600. Silver can test 38500 while facing resistance near 38850. Asian shares stepped back on Tuesday after China cut its economic growth target and pledged measures to support the economy amid growing challenges from rising debt and a dispute over trade and technology with the United States.
ENERGY- Crude Oil- Crude oil may open on negative note as oil prices dipped on Tuesday amid tepid prospects for growth in fuel demand, but OPEC led efforts to cut output offered some support. And despite optimism that the United States and China will soon end their bitter trade disputes, oil demand growth has been slowing along with an economic slowdown especially in Europe and Asia. The OPECled supply cuts, as well as U.S. sanctions against its members Iran and Venezuela, come at the same time as U.S. crude output chases ever new records, rising by more than 2 million barrels per day (bpd) since early 2018 and above 12 million bpd for the first time in February. Crude oil can test 3980 while facing resistance near 4050. Natural gas may test 205 while taking support near 198 in MCX. U.S. natural gas futures held near a five-week high on Monday on forecasts for the massive storage deficit to grow as utilities pull huge amounts of gas out of inventories to heat homes and businesses this week as brutally cold weather blankets much of the country.
BASE METAL - Base metals prices may trade with sideways bias. China will cut billions of dollars in taxes and fees, increase infrastructure investment, and step up lending to small firms, Premier Li Keqiang said on Tuesday, as the world's second-largest economy looks set to slow further this year. Copper may test 466 while taking support near 458 in MCX. The amount of available copper stored in the London Metal Exchange's (LME) warehouse system fell to 21,600 tonnes last week, the lowest level since 2005. Zinc can test 195 while facing resistance near 199. Lead can trade on mixed path in range of 148-152. Nickel can also test 960 while taking support near 945. Nickel prices climbed to a six-month peak on Monday as expectations of a fourth consecutive year of supply deficit were reinforced by signs of robust demand from stainless steel mills in China. Data from the International Nickel Study Group shows the nickel market deficit at 46,000 tonnes in 2016, 115,000 tonnes in 2017 and 127,000 tonnes last year. Nickel stocks at 196,542 in LME-registered warehouses have nearly halved since the start of January last year, while cancelled warrants metal earmarked for delivery stand at 37 percent.
