GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
The pace of slide of the US dollar is a cause of concern. At the current pace euro/usd can reach to 1.50 in 2007. Most of the technical indicators suggest that a trend reversal can happen anytime. However it’s a momentum market and it’s very difficult to judge the life of momentum rallies. Concerns that the US economy could be moving into recession in 2008 has resulted in the US dollar sell and gains in gold and precious metals. Emerging market equities and currencies are gaining at a rapid pace as investors hedge against a slowdown in developed nations. The US dollar should gain and gold and silver should fall before the September payrolls numbers this Friday. The effects of huge layoffs will be felt in the last quarter. However most of the bad news has been factored in and the effect of worse US economic numbers by way of losses in the US dollar will be limited from the current levels.
I did rather be cautious in going short in US dollar and going long in gold at the current calls. I could rather prefer to buy some US dollar calls and gold puts at the current price for the short term as a hedge against a potential reversal. Gold can fall another $20-$30 from the current prices and yet maintain its bullish direction intact. Do not expect a one way traffic in precious metals and base metals. This week will be a charged one with greater volatility.
Indian commodity markets are closed tomorrow due to a national holiday. Traders who have a adverse position should hedge their open positions using spreads (Inter commodity or same commodity). This is just a precautionary call. Hedging strategies will depend on the risk appetite of the individual and will vary from individual to individual.
GOLD -- DECEMBER FUTURE
Gold needs to break $754-$757 for $768 and $787. The earlier resistance of $746.50 is the initial support with $726.50 as the key support.
NYMEX CRUDE OIL --  FUTURE
Crude oil targets $86 as long as it floats over $80.0. Key Support at 77.60
