GOLD
US Unemployment Claims declined the
most in last seven years. Hence a sharp fall was noticed at the US
opening time. There were other data also at the same time i.e.
Manufacturing Sales and Core CPI that made a gap down of almost 5$ at
a time and then a little recovery took place. Else the commodity

Forecast
SILVER
Taking cues from weakness in gold
prices even spot silver prices declined by around 1.3 percent.
Besides, weakness in the base metals complex also exerted downside
pressure on prices. So we expect that the silver price would trade in
a consolidation.
Forecast
Silver prices are expected to trade in
a range of 18.800 to 20.00
CRUDE
Crude oil prices moved down in US
nearly 1% as positive US data and higher inventories earlier pushed
the prices down. Russia faces broader economic and industrial
sanctions from the United States and Europe if it meddles in
Ukraine's presidential elections on May 25.
Forecast
Crude is expected to trade sideway for
today’s session in a range of 102 to 101
