COMMODITY
MARKET OUTLOOK
GOLD
Gold prices fell to a three-week low on
Tuesday, as demand for riskier assets drove stocks higher and the dollar hit a
six-week peak against the yen.
SILVER
Silver was down 0.4 percent at $16.78 an
ounce, after touching $16.75, its lowest since Jan. 27. It has fallen for 11
out of the past 12 sessions.
CRUDE OIL
OPEC oil output fell for a fourth straight
month in April, a Reuters survey found on Tuesday, as top exporter Saudi Arabia
kept production below its target while maintenance and unrest cut production in
exempt nations Nigeria and Libya. But more oil from Angola and higher UAE
output than originally thought helped OPEC compliance with its
production-cutting deal slip to 90 percent from a revised 92 percent in March,
according to Reuters surveys. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting
Countries pledged to reduce output by about 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd)
for six months from Jan. 1 - the first supply cut deal since 2008. Non-OPEC
producers are cutting about half as much.
COPPER
Copper prices hit a three-week high on
Tuesday due to concerns about supply disruptions in Indonesia, but caution over
slowing demand in top consumer China capped gains. Thousands of workers from
the Indonesian unit of Freeport McMoRan Inc staged a rally near the Grasberg
copper mine on Monday, protesting against layoffs by the miner due to a
contract dispute with the government. China's factory sector lost momentum in
April, with growth slowing to its weakest pace in seven months as domestic and
export demand faltered and commodity prices fell, a private survey showed on
Tuesday.
Natural gas
We expect Natural gas prices to trade
positive on the back of short covering after drop in prices.
