Analysis and Recommendations:
Silver moved up to 27.563 following cues from the metals pack and from gold. In the midst of unrelenting worries over the eurozone debt contagion, market focus has now turned upon the release of advanced estimates of second quarter US GDP which is scheduled for release tomorrow. Sentiments were mixed in commodities ahead of the key data. Precious metals moved mostly steady, sustaining the previous session gains. Spot gold held above $1600 an ounce, near its three week high. Hopes of more central bank action to support the flagging economic growth boosted the prices. Base metals in LME weakened after trading mostly steady earlier today as worries over demand continued to cap gains. LME copper and nickel dropped more than one per cent. String of weak data from the leading economics weighed on the sentiments. Tracking losses in the international market, base metal complex dropped in MCX too.
US durable goods are a market neutral with large factory orders pushing the total number over economist projections and unemployment coming in better than expected. The question facing markets now, will these changes reduce the possibility of the Fed offering stimulus next week
