MAJOR EVENTS COMEX Gold slumped near lowest levels in last one year as strong US economic data

hurt the metal. The commodity has been under stress on weak Indian demand and

strength in the US dollar this week. India’s Gold imports dropped by almost 37% to

$1.96 billion in June and most of the traders do not expect any pick up in the Indian

demand. Imports of the precious metal stood at $3.12 billion in the same month of

2014. Positive developments in Greece are supporting stocks around the globe.

COMEX Gold quotes at $1135 per ounce, down 0.70% on the day. MCX Gold futures

are trading at Rs 25583 per 10 grams, down 0.73%on the day. MCX Silver futures are

trading at Rs 34244 per kg, down 0.75% on the day as the global prices linger around

their six year lows. Dollar is quoting around 1.0864 against the Euro - its six week high

mark. The Commerce Department released a report on Friday showing significant

increases in both US housing starts and building permits in the month of June. The

report said housing starts jumped9.8 percent to an annual rate of 1.174 million in

June from the revised May estimate of1.069 million. Building permits, an indicator of

future housing demand, also surged up 7.4percent to an annual rate of 1.343 million

in June from the revised May rate of 1.125million.

MCX Crude oil futures drifted lower yet again as the WTI crude futures slipped in red.

The commodity has been reeling under pressure after testing its four month lows as

hope of rising global supplies after the Iran deal weighed on the sentiments. Oil is

also eying the recent uptick in US dollar. Dollar gained after losing initially on the

Greece debt deal though the single currency gained handsomely to quote under

1.0900 mark against the Euro after a sharp rally in US stocks this week. These are the

highest levels in six weeks for the greenback. WTI futures dropped under $51 per

barrel as stocks wavered in Europe as German lawmakers geared to vote on whether

to approve the plan for a third bailout for Greece. MCX Crude oil futures are trading

at Rs 3229 per barrel, down 0.80% on the day. The demand scenario for oil remains

unenthusiastic. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries said Monday

it revised down the demand for its crude this year, to a level far below its current

output. In its closely watched monthly oil-market report, OPEC lowered its projection

for 2015 by about 100,000 barrels a day, to 29.2 million a day. That’s more than 2

million a day less than the group’s 12 members pumped last month.

Worries.

Base Metals may

trade lower on

Greece factor;

China may offer

respite.

Greece impasse has had its effect on global markets. Base metal prices may trade

lower in July as Greece impasse is all set for a new set of twists and turns as last

deadline of reform approval by Athens nears. However, a temporary respite to prices

will be provided by recovery in Chinese markets after regulators instructed all major

shareholders who sold stock over the past six months to reverse course, adding that

they should increase their holdings by at least 10 per cent of the amount of the

original reduction.

Copper prices will likely trade with a negative bias as supply glut will be the persistent

major cause of concern as production does not seem to ease from China given cost

benefits. Also, Chile’s rising production and weakness in global demand will exert

pressure on prices. Aluminium prices to trade lower in July’15 as swelling Chinese

exports exerted further pressure on the market following which Japan's aluminium

premiums for July-September shipments were mostly set at a six-year low of $100

from a May offer of $130-160 versus an April-June premium of $380. Chinese output

also ceases to trend down as currency benefits and cheaper inputs have allowed most

smelters to stay out of the red.
