Commodity Tips for the Week

Gold:

US gold futures ended above $1,100 an ounce on Friday, gaining 1 percent on the back of a euro rally based on a Greece rescue plan, and the metal was expected to take trading cues from the currency market.

Technicals

Comex gold is still technically weak, & last week it was in a range between $1083 to $1110 an ounce. If COMEX gold sustains below $1083 an ounce then it can test the level of $1050 and on the upside $1150 will be a major hurdle to change the trend of Gold. In the coming week traders can use the sell on higher level strategy by keeping the strict stop losses in gold.
Major resistance in COMEX gold is $1160 and $1175 and supports at $1078 and $1050. Major resistance in MCX gold is 17250 and 17650 and supports at 15970 and 15710.



Copper:

US copper futures settled up near a two-week high on Friday as investor appetite for risk improved and the dollar surrendered recent gains against the euro after euro zone leaders agreed on a plan to help debt-strapped Greece.
Comex copper has been in a tight range between 343 and 330 levels for the past two weeks. Unless the prices sustain above 349 level we can still say that copper is weak and if it breaks and sustain below 329 level it can further test the support of 319. For the coming week traders should use the strategy of sell on higher levels until copper sustains above 349. Comex copper has a crucial support of 329 and 316 and resistance at 355 and 375. For MCX copper support is found at 323 and 311 and resistance at 354 and 371.

Stock Tips for the Week

Nifty commenced the week on a subdued note on the back of rate hike by the Reserve Bank of India and weak global cues. However, it continued its upward journey after this short correction and managed to close around 5,280 mark. The BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty added 0.5% each to close at 17,645 and 5,282 respectively.
Banking and the FMCG stocks were in demand, on the other hand, Realty and the Small-Cap stocks witnessed some offloading.
The FIIs continued to be net buyers in the Indian markets; they bought to the tune of Rs21.3bn in the last five days. On the other hand, the DIIs were net seller to the tune of Rs6.58bn.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) unexpectedly raised rates for the first time since July 2008 after inflation accelerated to a 16-month high. India’s central bank increased the benchmark reverse repo rate to 3.5% from a record-low 3.25% and the repurchase rate to 5% from 4.75%. The surprise decision comes a month before the bank’s scheduled monetary policy meeting.
FOR THE NEXT WEEK, Upside 5325 is the immediate major resistance for Nifty and if this level is breached, an upward move until 5,375 can be expected. Downside, it can test 5150-5120 levels if the crucial 5180 support level is breached.

Global markets movement will also remain the key factor in deciding the trend for Indian market.

Commodity Outlook for the Week

Commodity Tips



Copper:

Technical view:

Copper MCX has broken an important trend channel on the downside, so overall trend in copper is weak. As a natural technical tendency it might go for testing the trend line of the channel which has resistance around 340 area and then correct again on the downside. Major support levels on the downside are 323/318/313.50. A crossover of 345 levels on the higher will doom the chances of correction and the trend then will be positive.

Strategy:

As the overall trend is weak, copper should be shorted on rise to the levels near 338-340 for targets 330/323/318/313.50 or if doesn’t shows a rise it should shorted below 323 levels for targets of 320/318/313.50.

Gold:

International COMEX Gold is currently trading in a range of a symmetrical triangle which is most likely to break to its important supply zone of 1132 level and shoot up.

The up move breakout will of course not be easy as 1129-1132 levels will act as a strong hurdle which needs to be crossed before we confirm an uptrend in gold.
Gold is also forming a inverted head and shoulders which is again signaling a reversal in trend on the positive side.

Strategy:

Long positions can be built in gold above 1132 for targets of 1141, 1147, 1162. However if gold breaks 1088 level on the downside, it dooms the chances of an uptrend in short term.

Silver:

International COMEX silver is also forming a symmetrical triangle, after it had a breakdown from big head & shoulders pattern, overall longer term trend looks negative in silver, but in short term, if we talk about next 1-2 weeks, it might see some corrective rally on the upside if it crosses the major resistance level of 1657.

Strategy:

Long positions can be built in silver above 1657 levels 1680/1695/1725. On the higher 1725-1740 can act as a good supply zone and bears will try hard to take the lead from there and trend can move in a negative direction. So one should be looking to short around 1725-1740 levels on the rise.

Crude:
Technical view:


Crude is overall in bullish trends and is facing strong resistance around 80.50-81 levels.
Beyond $ 81 it can continue the uptrend up to 82.30, 83.90,86 levels. On the downside $ 76 is a major support level and below which the trend can move in the negative direction for targets of $ 74, 72.50, and 69.50.

Strategy:

Long positions can be built above the levels of 81 for targets of 82.30, 83.90,86.
And could be shorted below $ 76 for targets of $ 74, 72.50 and 69.50.
