General market conditions October 19 Report

General market conditions

Gold and silver traded with a softer bias yesterday as demand from India was muted. Below par demand from India at the beginning of festival season has dashed hopes of higher sales for the rest of the festival demand. A weaker Indian rupee against the US dollar has resulted in a rise in Indian gold prices. Euro/usd retreating off the highs has also resulted in profit taking at higher prices. News from Europe will be the key today as well as on the weekend. Gold could consolidate in $1710-$1810 wider range for the next two weeks before an attempt at $2000. Copper and base metals are firm on the back of not so bad Chinese GPD numbers yesterday.

News flows will determine the intra day direction of gold and silver. There will be demand for gold around $1730 and below till $1710 from all over the world.

COMEX SILVER DECEMBER 2012 – current price $3284.00

• Silver should consolidate in a $3200-$3500 wider range for the next two weeks. There will be a technical break down below $3200.
• The global economy will be the key for silver in the short term.
• Long term bullishness is intact for silver. But the pace of the rise of the silver price rise is hard to predict.
