Nickel futures surged to the highest in almost 3 years with concerns that the metal would also be hit by U.S. sanctions.

Oil prices rallied by more than 3% in reaction to weekly decline in U.S. crude and gasoline inventories and looming meeting between OPEC and non-OPEC producers. Data from EIA showed Commercial crude oil inventories in the U.S. fell by 1.1 million barrels, to 427.57 million barrels, which is close to the five-year average level around 420 million barrels.

Brent Crude Around 72 Dollar Gold Toched 1350 Dollar Level | Today Commodity Market News Outlook 16 April 2018.



Bullion - Opens on positive Note Gold -31200-31230 Silver -39020-39050 

Energy - Opens on mixed Note Crude Oil - 4360-4370 Natural Gas -179.50-179.80

It has certainly been another volatile and unpredictable trading last week for financial markets, as heightened geopolitical tensions have left investors on edge. President Donald Trump’s market shaking tweets have not helped matters, with global equity markets violently whipsawing in recent days. As the trading month progresses, global risk appetite is poised to remain extremely fragile and highly sensitive to the Russia-U.S tensions over Syria. 

This has been a roller-coaster trading week for Gold, with the metal displaying high levels of sensitivity to geopolitics and U.S interest rate hike expectations. While heightened political tensions between the U.S and Russia have supported the yellow metal, expectations that the Fed will adopt a more aggressive approach over U.S interest rate hikes this year has capped upside gains. With uncertainty still a major market theme and investors clearly on edge, gold is likely to remain buoyed in the medium term.


Crude Oil prices were incredibly bullish last week rising around 10%, as escalating tensions in the Middle East fueled concerns of potential supply disruptions. The upside was complemented by encouraging statements made by the IEA saying that OPEC was on the verge of clearing the global oil glut. Price action suggests that oil prices could edge higher near-term amid geopolitical tensions and optimism over OPEC supply cut rebalancing markets. However, rising production from U.S Shale could create obstacles for oil bulls down the road. 


Aluminium hits 6-years high, jumping 12% last week, biggest weekly jump in 38 years, with prices hovering around 11-week high. Supply side squeeze emanating from US sanctions on Rusal has driven the spot premiums higher for the metal. The company produces around 3.5mn tonnes of primary aluminium, contributing 6% to the global output. Other base metals also followed the gains but it’s expected to be short lived as they are teetering on the edge of a bear market due to high inventory, expected slowdown in China and potential escalation of a global trade war. 


Over this week, Risk off Sentiment may prevail and Geopolitical tensions will continue to support commodity space, as over the weekend, U.S., U.K. and France launched targeted missile strikes on Syria in retaliation for an apparent chemical attack by the regime of Bashar al-Assad on a rebel town. President Donald Trump said the missile strikes were focused on chemical weapons sites and he made clear that the U.S. is prepared to sustain the strikes until Syria stops using those weapons

Oil Gains on US Crude Draw down | Today Commodity Market News 06 April 2018


Bullion - Opens on positive Note Gold -30660-30650 Silver -38300-38340

President Trump suggested in a tweet yesterday that they are not in a trade war with China, that war was lost many years ago by the foolish, or incompetent, people who represented the US. Now they have a Trade Deficit of $500 Billion a year, with Intellectual Property Theft of another $300 Billion. 

Precious Metal prices are consolidating in mid-ground; the market seems stuck in a $1310-1360 per oz range. Given jittery stock markets and trade tensions, it is surprising gold prices are not attracting more interest. That said, talk of summits between the US and North Korea and the US and Russia, as well constructive developments between some of the Arab majors and Israel, all point towards some easing in geopolitical tensions. 

Crude Oil prices are supported on fall in US inventories coupled with possibility of extension in OPEC and Russia's cooperation to curb output. Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said that a joint organization for cooperation between OPEC and non-OPEC countries may be set up once the current deal on oil output curbs expires at the end of this year. Meanwhile, risk sentiment improved amid prospect of talks between US and China to avert a full-fledged trade war. However, uncertainty will prevail and if the new import tariffs are imposed they will affect global trade as well as economic growth.

Gold prices rose yesterday and gained more than 1% amidst escalation of trade spat between U.S and China. As market participants fear increases following trade wars between the two largest economies, investors have fled for safe haven bullion. Renewed safe-haven demand comes amid investors after Beijing unveiled retaliatory tariffs on Monday overnight.


Base metals showed some strength, with copper climbing to more than one-week high, finding support from stronger-than-expected mfg. growth in top metals user China, although worries over an escalating trade spat between Beijing and Washington kept the gains constrained.


Crude oil prices sank to their steepest one-day drop pressured by rise in Russia production and Saudis are said to be cutting prices of oil for their Asia customers, contributing to drop, while export data shows that despite OPEC-led production cuts, Russia's output of crude has continued to increase, knocking support out from under oil prices.
