Gold and Silver Weekly Technical Review and Commodity Tips

Gold Commodity Besides, there are several other market dynamics also playing in the market.
Post the Fed testimony, Yellens comment on the economic growth and continuous cut down in
the asset purchase programme in the US has pushed the USD index to revive strongly higher
from the multi weeks low and at present trading at 79.741. We believe USs response over the
economic stance may continue to weigh on the bullion market by which the entire precious
metal group may remain under pressure. The dollars denominated other precious metals also
and likely that they would extend their loss in the near term by which gold may also remain
lower. On a contrary, while we look at the economic data from the US for the next week we
expect most data to come positive for the country by which the risky assets may move higher.
Now, developing a relationship with equity and risk free asset i.e. Bond yield, any improvement
in the economic data may drive equities higher while the 10 year bond yield may perform
inferior. In this regard we may see an unstable movement in the precious metal that is gold.
Possibly this scenario might also push the gold prices higher anytime in the near future and by
which the expected downside potential may be limited. This may also be a risk to our bearish
outlook on gold while Ukraine tension may continue to be a concern in the global market.
Looking at the above scenario we believe the commodity may trade down while volatility is
certainly likely to see in the underlying. From the derivatives front, we have seen a marginal
decline in the prices while both volume and open interest have also declined a tad. This
indicates for the near gold trend may remain lower while any abrupt event could spoil the
existing trend. Lastly, while we look at the implied volatility of GOLDUSD we see that due to
steady price movement with a bearish trend the volatility is lowering indicating that the
underlying may remain in line with the existing trend meaning the prices gold may trade down.
As of Friday the implied volatility for GOLDUSD holds at 13%.

Silver while there were ups and downs in the whitish precious metal last week, as with the case
with gold; overall trend continued to support negativity. Silver prices have been on a continues
downtrend since the recent peak of over $22 per ounce in the month of February as per Comex
markets while the latest low was witnessed in the past week of around $19.10 per ounce.

While as also stated earlier, silver as a commodity takes broad cues from movement in gold
which too has been on a downward spiral for long time now. In the past week, we had
maintained a selling stance on the commodity wherein July month Comex prices recorded a
slippage of 1.8% to $19.20 per ounce meanwhile it also underperformed the move as equated
to gold commodity which was lower last week by nearly 0.8%. The commodity did saw some
optimism seeping in, particularly in the initial sessions of trade though ease of tensions in
Ukraine region and negative momentum into the Euro currency pulled prices lower. Silvers
inherent weakness owing to subdued demand is one of the key reasons behind its continued
underperformance notwithstanding the fact that silver derives a mix of consumption from
industrial and precious metals. With the recent industrial related data points remaining stable
to positive from US and Europe and base metals too advancing moderately, silver should have
had got some support in its price movement though the same scenario has not been playing
out lately.

During the next week, while there are a number of economy related updates due from the US
and Europe, we believe most of them to maintain stand stable to optimistic meanwhile
continue to add negativism over the Bullion complex as a whole including silver. While concerns
regarding problems going on in Ukraine remain as there are fresh tensions arising after
separatists group named Donetsk Peoples Republic have asked for a vote on Sunday i.e. 11th
May to become an independent republic, a probable stride towards amalgamation Russia.
Donetsk is the most populous region of the country, with 4.5 million people and the industrial
backbone of
Ukraine. Insurgents have apprehended government buildings in a dozen of cities and towns,
and fight with government crowd. It is highly likely that tension is going to escalate during the
initial days next week and might drive some gains in Bullion complex. While broader trend for
silver remaining lower, we suggest selling the commodity from higher levels
