Weekly Outlook: The week was largely stable during the initial half however, markets witnessed sudden spurt on Thursday.
Gold gained over 2.5% following the unexpected rate cut and currency adjustment announcement by the Swiss Central bank
while was higher over 5% for the week. . Swiss bank ended its 3 year old cap of 1.20 Franc per Euro which was seen as an
effort to decouple itself from the debt problems in Euro area while indirectly support Bullion. One critical aspect which helps
building a scenario for gold is the PVOI movement this week. Contract volumes for Feb and Apr at Comex increased while the
same was conjugated with higher aggregate OI making positive case. Onto the demand supply side, ETF investment gained
with holdings in SPDR Gold Trust rose around 3% to over 730 MT. In the coming week, there are no major economic cues to be
watched from the US economy however the broader markets would be more keen to track the developments on other side of
the Atlantic and Pacific. Amongst major cues we have the, ECB and BoJ monetary policy meeting and the Chinese GDP numbers
which could create good volatility amongst all asset classes including Gold. Post the strong 5% increase in the commodity in
one single week, we believe buying only on dips would be ideal for traders and investors alike.

REVIEW: (Weekly)



Gold marked one of its best weekly performance in more
than 1 and ½ years jumping around 5% at the Comex
markets as safe haven buying emerged post surprising
move by Swiss Central Bank whereas falling equities and
subdued economic data too supported the yellow metal.
Gold commodity for February expiry contract at Comex
gained 5% closing near the $1,277 per ounce while during
the week also touched highs around the $1,282 its best
since September 2014.
Locally,
Rupee
appreciation
pushed
moderate
underperformance in Gold commodity while adjustment
with regards to past weekly performance also weighed.
Gold MCX Feb contract jumped 3.2% to Rs 27650 per Kg.
OUTLOOK: Bullion wherein especially Gold was little changed on
Monday morning as traders assessed the strong Friday and overall
weekly gains for the commodity. Bullion blasted after the
surprising Swiss bank move and largely subdued equity markets.
While we don’t have any major economic data today and also select
US commodity and others asset classes are shut amidst Martin
Luther Jr. King’s holiday; probably overall movement may remain
shallow. We continue to hold bullish bias in gold commodity and
advice traders look for buying on small dips today.
Gold & Silver: A Comprehensive Daily
With markets lack economic data in intraday, US Dollar
could play major mover today
Global Market Analysis: US equity markets finished on a
positive note on Friday with gains of more than 1% after its
consumer confidence data showed reading jumped to a 11
year high. Asian equity markets are trading on mixed to
positive note however Chinese equities were losing around
6% as per last quote following the suspension of 3 biggest
brokers. China suspended three of the nation’s biggest
brokerages from adding margin-finance and securities
lending accounts following rule violations. In currencies, US
dollar index was moderately higher adding towards 92.66
mark whereas Euro continued to have a volatile to weaker
session and traded near the 1.1550 mark.

Weekly Outlook: The whitish precious metal after the strong performance last week is likely to extend its gains in current
week as well with the broader macro economic factors over currency, monetary policy meetings and economic data variables
supporting a positive case for Bullion. Silver as a commodity gets demand related cues from precious metal as well as
industrial metals as nearly half of its consumption goes into industrial segment thus in the coming week we believe the
Chinese numbers may create good volatility for silver. Market estimates largely call for a Q4, 2014 GDP improvement in the
range of 7.2% to 7.3%, nearly similar to prior quarter on a YoY perspective. However, looking at the recent set of subdued
economic cues from China, it would not be a complete surprise to see a reading even near 7%. However if that happens, we
might see some pressure being coming over industrial metals and also on silver which can cap any major positive movement
in the commodity. On that note, while we maintain buying view in silver commodity too, however trader are advised to prefer
Gold as an investment over silver in the coming week. Also last week we advised Gold/Silver Ratio selling wherein the huge
outperformance of Silver over Gold should have had generated profits for traders taking that strategy. In the next week
though, we would better wait for some more clarity over Chinese data and then look into strategy related trade for the two.
Silver Mar MCX: Buy at 38100-38200 TP 39200/39800 SL 37500
REVIEW: (Weekly)


Silver futures for March expiry contract too advanced
during the week with overall performance remaining inline with movement in the big brother Gold.
Silver owing to its high beat nature managed an even better
performance rising by over 8% in the week at Comex to
move towards $17.75 per ounce.
Gold/Silver ratio: We held cautious view as it stayed
near the critical support area. Hold a similar view as
we await confirmation before building long-short
positions in Bullion.
OUTLOOK: Silver commodity after huge gains last week was
flattish to modestly weaker today morning. The commodity was
moderately underperforming Gold as probably pressure on Chinese
equities front was putting Silver commodity lower. While broad
day’s trend stays positive, we hold buying view in the commodity
on dips for small target today. Risk factor for the day could be losses
extending in base metals in case Chinese data or cues weight.
