BULLION - Bullion counter may trade with negative path. Gold prices suffered strong double-digit losses and hit a three-week low today, while the silver market was hammered to a three-month low.

At the same time the U.S. jobless claims report came in and showed a drop in the latest week. The U.S. dollar index began its rally today right after those U.S. data releases.
ENERGY- Crude oil may trade on positive note as oil prices rose on Friday, pushed up by ongoing supply cuts led by producer club OPEC and U.S. sanctions against Iran and Venezuela, which have given crude markets the biggest first quarter price push since 2009.Oil prices have been supported for much of 2019 by efforts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-affiliated allies like Russia, known as OPEC+, who have pledged to withhold around 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) of supply this year to prop up markets. Production cuts from the OPEC+ group of producers have been the main reason for the dramatic recovery since the 38 percent price slump seen during the final quarter of last year.
