per ounce helped the yellow metal to continue gain on Friday.Gold moved higher,

despite the strong dollar. Gold off the recent near one month highs during the week

thought that the US central bank would be able to raise interest rates in June,

according to minutes from the March meeting. Worries over Indian demand also kept

sentiments under check.The dollar was on track for its first weekly rise in a month on

Friday as jobless claims data eased concern about the U.S. labour market and

year. The average of the claims is almost 10 year low level. The Euro quotes at four

totalled 8 billion cubic feet. Demand for heating is expected to be low for the rest of

this week and into the first part of next week. Cold air from Canada is not expected to

push into the United States, although some cooler weather is forecast for the

the five-year average. The working stocks of natural gas totaled about 1.48 trillion

cubic feet, around 173 billion cubic feet below the five-year average of 1.65 trillion

cubic feet and 651 billion cubic feet above last year's total for the same period.

Copper Fortunes

Linked with

Chinese Economy

and Data Set.

Copper prices are trading in a non-volatile fashion with fortunes now getting linked to

Chinese economic data. When last checked MCX Copper was trading at Rs 379.40 per

kg, up 0.82%. The prices tested a high of Rs 380.65 per kg, and a low of Rs 377.90 per

kg.China's economy probably cooled further to grow 7 percent in the first three

months as per the polls conducted by market agencies. On the supply side, Chile's

Codelco said that operations at its smallest mine will progressively restart on April 20

after torrential downpours forced the world's No. 1 copper producer to halt

them.China reported that the unwrought Copper and Copper products imports

reached 283000 tonnes in the month of February 2015 against 410000 tonnes in

January, down 31% on a monthly basis. The data also mentioned that on a yearly

basis, imports of Copper were down by 25.3% from 3790000 tonnes in the month of

February 2013.Meanwhile, Copper ores and concentrates imports were 758000

tonnes in the month of February 2015 compared to 928000 in the month of January

2015, marking a decline of 18.3% on a monthly basis.If the Federal Reserve delays the

rate hikes and as expected by the trading community, Copper can witness fast revival.

Fed officials have expressed concern about the effects of the strong dollar, which is

weighing on the outlook for economic growth and inflation.
