Daily Commodity Analysis – Gold down, Copper crisis, Oil up, Gas struggles.​

Introduction​

“As Gold struggles near a two-month low, the stronger-than-expected US CPI data diminishes hopes of a Fed rate cut, keeping the precious metal below $2,000. Meanwhile, copper faces pressure from a stronger dollar and concerns over slowing economic growth, exacerbated by a massive deposit discovery in Zambia. Oil prices rise on positive demand forecasts, while natural gas languishes due to warmer weather predictions reducing heating demand.”

Gold Price Struggles Near Two-Month Low As Hot US CPI Temper Fed Rate Cut Bets.​

Gold price hits a fresh two-month low amid bets that the Fed will keep rates higher for longer. The expectations were reaffirmed by the stronger-than-expected US CPI released on Tuesday. A softer risk tone lends support to the safe-haven XAU/USD and helps limit any further losses. Gold price (XAU/USD) continues with its struggle to attract buyers and languishes below the $2,000 psychological mark, or a two-month low through the early European session on Monday. The stronger-than-expected US consumer inflation report released on Tuesday reaffirmed market expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest rates higher for longer. This, in turn, is seen undermining the non-yielding yellow metal, though a combination of factors lends some support and helps limit the downside.

Daily Commodity Analysis – oil dives, corn lows, gold reacts to bonds.​

Introduction​

WTI faces renewed selling pressure, hovering around $76.00 amid a second consecutive day of retreats. Despite geopolitical risks, a surge in US inventories weighs on oil prices, while OPEC’s positive global demand outlook fails to provide support. In the corn market, futures hit new lows, influenced by a red trading session and ethanol-related data. Gold prices tick higher due to sliding US bond yields and geopolitical tensions, while Silver stabilizes above $22, awaiting guidance from US Retail Sales data. Federal Reserve comments suggest a hesitant stance on rate cuts, impacting precious metals.

Daily Commodity Analysis – Monitor oil, gas, gold, and silver.​

Introduction​

Oil prices paused after the International Energy Agency (IEA) issued a forecast indicating slowing demand, contrasting with the optimism sparked by weak U.S. retail sales data hinting at potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. The IEA’s report projects a slight reduction in global oil demand growth, while OPEC maintains a more optimistic outlook. Natural gas prices reach a new trend low of 1.57, reflecting prolonged bearish sentiment. Gold prices hover around $2,000 following weak U.S. retail sales, still facing weekly losses. Silver experiences a 2.50% surge as lower US bond yields increase its appeal.

Oil Flat As Weaker IEA Outlook Weighs On US Rate Cut Hopes.​

Oil prices stalled on Friday over a forecast of slowing demand by the International Energy Agency after gaining in the previous session on weak U.S. retail sales data that sparked optimism that the Fed might cut interest rates sooner than expected. Both contracts climbed over 1% on Thursday as a larger-than-expected drop in U.S. retail sales prompted hopes the Federal Reserve will soon start cutting interest rates, which could be positive for oil demand. The IEA’s monthly report said it expects global oil demand to grow by 1.22 million barrels per day (bpd) this year, slightly down from last month’s estimate. OPEC on Tuesday stuck to its much steeper growth forecast of 2.25 million bpd.

Both Brent and WTI contracts had settled higher on Friday, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East offset slowing demand forecasts from the International Energy Agency. Markets are also yet to see the direction of demand from China after it returns from a week-long Lunar New Year holiday, while Presidents’ Day in the United States is set to keep trade relatively muted.

Daily Commodity Analysis – Gold, oil surge, gas defies.​

Introduction​

Gold consolidates near a two-month high, hovering around $2,088-2,089, as it takes a breather after last week’s robust surge. The US Dollar weakened further due to disappointing ISM survey results and less hawkish Fed comments, boosting gold’s appeal. Meanwhile, copper prices dip ahead of crucial cues from China’s National People's Congress. WTI oil extends gains to nearly $79.50, supported by OPEC+ decisions, while U.S. natural gas futures defy bearish fundamentals with technical resilience amid a surprising storage withdrawal.

Markets In Focus Today – GOLD​

Gold Price Consolidates Near Two-Month Peak, Bullish Potential Seems Intact.​

Gold price pauses after last week's strong positive move to a fresh YTD top. Slightly overbought RSI on the daily chart acts as a headwind for the metal. Traders also seem reluctant ahead of this week's key US data/event risks. Gold price (XAU/USD) is seen oscillating in a narrow range during the Asian session on Monday and consolidating last week’s strong gains to the $2,088-2,089 region, or its highest level since December 28. The US Dollar (USD) continues to be undermined by the disappointing release of the US ISM survey on Friday, which showed that manufacturing sector activity contracted more than anticipated in February. Adding to this, the less hawkish remarks by several Federal Reserve (Fed) officials reinforced bets that the US central bank will start cutting interest rates at the June policy meeting. This, in turn, is seen as a key factor acting as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal.

Daily Commodity Analysis – Oil dives, gas surges, gold holds.​

Introduction​

WTI oil prices decline to around $77.70, marking a third consecutive session of losses amid rising concerns over demand, fueled by disappointing US factory data and unexpected increases in crude oil stock. Meanwhile, U.S. natural gas futures experience volatility, settling higher as participants weigh lower production against bearish weather forecasts. Gold prices trade slightly lower, approaching the all-time peak, as traders anticipate Fed Chair Powell’s statement and scrutinize geopolitical risks. Silver rebounds near the year-to-date peak, hovering around $24.00, supported by a positive technical setup and bullish prospects.

WTI Extends Its Losses To Near $77.70 As Demand Concerns Rise After US Factory Data.​

WTI price continues to lose ground on concerns over oil demand.US Factory Orders (MoM) dropped by 3.6% in January, against the expected decline of 2.9%.US API Weekly Crude Oil Stock reported 0.423 million barrels, contrary to the expected decrease of 2.6 million barrels. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price extends its losses for the third successive session, trading lower near $77.70 per barrel on Wednesday. Concerns about demand weigh on Crude oil prices following recent data indicating slowing economic activity in the United States, the world’s largest oil consumer. However, the weaker US Dollar (USD) may provide some support to oil prices by increasing demand from buyers using other currencies. The increased apprehension regarding oil demand has tempered the impact of efforts by OPEC+ countries, Russia included, to enact voluntary oil output cuts.
