News & Development
The European Central Bank should decide sooner rather than later whether to start large-scale purchases of government bonds,
ECB Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny said in a newspaper interview published on Tuesday.
The British Retail Consortium said year-on-year retail spending was 1.0 percent higher this December than a year ago, the weakest
December growth since 2008 and a sharp contrast with November's 2.2 percent jump.
China's December trade data beat expectations as demand from a stronger U.S. economy helped offset weakness in Europe and
Japan, while Chinese bargain-shopping in commodities markets put a floor under sliding imports. Exports in December rose 9.7
percent from a year earlier in dollar-denominated terms, data from the General Administration of Customs showed on Tuesday,
handily beating a Reuters poll by nearly three full percentage points. Imports dropped by only 2.4 percent, where analysts'
consensus was for a far steeper decline of 7.4 percent.

Gold
Gold was little changed on Tuesday, paring gains after hitting technical resistance at a 12-week high, moving in choppy trading as the dollar returned near its session highs and as crude oil prices pared steep losses. Earlier, investors sought refuge from turbulence in stock and currency markets after crude oil prices slid to a near six-year low. The dollar gained, still benefiting from more upbeat U.S. economic prospects compared with the rest of the world that should keep the Federal Reserve on track to raise interest rates this year.
Outlook
We expect gold prices are likely to trade on positive note on the back of Greece concerns.

Silver Silver rose 4 percent to a one-month high on potential supply concerns. ECB Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny said in a newspaper interview that the ECB should decide sooner rather than later whether to start large-scale purchases of government bonds. Investors expect the ECB to launch its own quantitative easing at next week's meeting, as data out of the euro zone has become bleaker and bleaker by the day.
Outlook We expect Silver prices are likely to trade on positive note on the back of Greece concerns.

Crude Oil Oil tumbled 5 percent to near six-year lows before recovering ground on Tuesday, and Brent briefly traded at par to U.S. crude for the first time in three months as some traders moved to take advantage of ample storage space in the United States. Traders were searching to store the glut of oil, which has knocked prices down 60 percent in the last six months. So far this week, Brent has lost 7 percent and U.S. crude 5 percent. Oil tumbled earlier after big OPEC producer United Arab Emirates defended the group's decision not to cut output to boost prices. Losses were pared by a flurry of short-covering toward the close, as players moved to cash in on profitable short positions, traders said. Traders said the benchmarks converged as limited storage on land for Brent forced traders to look for storage in the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery point for U.S. crude. U.S. onshore storage tanks for crude are barely a third full, showing the highest vacancy rate since the government's Energy Information Administration began its bi-annual survey of tank farm capacity in 2010. Some said the convergence was not sustainable because the narrowed arbitrage attracted foreign imports. In the case of Brent, some the world's biggest traders booked supertankers to store at least 25 million barrels at sea in recent days in hopes of profiting later if prices recover.
Outlook
We expect crude oil prices likely to trade on negative note on the back of increasing supply and decreasing demand is likely to keep crude oil prices under pressure.

Natural Gas U.S. natural gas futures gained over 5 percent on Tuesday, erasing a 5 percent loss on Monday, on forecasts for heightened demand due to cooler temperatures over the next two weeks. The latest weather models for the lower 48 U.S. states called for slightly colder but near-normal temperatures over the next two weeks, with an expected 462 heating degree days (HDD).
Outlook We expect Natural gas prices to trade on negative note on the back of slightly below normal temperature forecast over the next few days.

Base Metals Copper fell further below $6,000 on Tuesday to its weakest level in more than five years as oil price declines spurred selling by hedge funds in China, despite signs of physical demand for metal there. Worries about lacklustre growth in the global economy and the rout in oil hurt other metals on the London Metal Exchange too, with lead falling to a 30-month low while aluminium and zinc fell to their lowest in nearly eight and seven months respectively. As copper sank towards $6,000, traders had been eyeing two big put option trades, at that level and at $5,500, which they feared could accelerate the market's longest rout in years. China's December trade data beat expectations, as demand from a stronger U.S. economy helped offset weakness in Europe and Japan while Chinese bargain-shopping in commodities markets put a floor under sliding imports. Higher aluminium output from China was highlighted in trade data which showed exports of 540,000 tonnes of unwrought aluminium and aluminium products in December, up from November's 390,000.
Outlook We expect base metal prices to trade mostly on negative note on the back of fears of slowdown in China.
