General market conditions

Gold and silver are consolidating at the moment due to lack of trading volumes from the USA. This consolidation phase will be broken and a new range will be formed soon. The real fight between bulls and bears now starts. At lower prices physical demand will prevent prices from a crash while technical traders will be cautious going long at current prices. All the calculations of the US economy will now change due to hurricane sandy. Huge amounts of steel, copper and other base metals will be needed for reconstruction of cities affected and on infrastructure. Temporary laborers will be needed for the same and November’s job non farm payrolls will see a huge increase in employment. I suspect that the federal reserve could resort to more monetary easing to meet reconstruction needs. Insurance company’s liabilities will be high.
There is speculation some of the areas affected by hurricane “Sandy” may not be ready for the US presidential voting next week. Focus will now shift to Greece and Spain and the response from the European central bank. Intra day volatility will rise.
TECHNICAL VIEW
NYMEX CRUDE OIL (1ST CONTRACT)  - current price $85.65
Bullish over $86.40 with $87.60 and $89.50 as price target
Bearish below $85.20 with $82.55 and $81.90 as price target
Break point: $87.00
  • $81.92 is the key support and crude oil needs to trade over $81.92 to target $88.27 and $90.64
  • A daily close below $86.00 on Friday will be bearish for crude oil in the short term.
MCX Nickel November – prices in Indian rupees below
Nickel can rise to 987-1030 in short term as long as it trades over 820. There will be a technical break down only if Nickel trades below 820 for three consecutive days at any time of the year.
