Asian Metals Market Update for 25th August 2023

Do not fret and worry over the outcome and trend after the Jackson Hole conference. Use higher trailing stop losses on your long/buy positions. If you are short in gold, silver and copper then use significant price crash to close/exit.

Jackson Hole + London Monday holiday = Abrupt and knee jerk price move anytime and a greater chance of a big gap open on Monday. Either the key support or the key resistance has to be broken for a big one way price move.

Please ignore all the news on trend of interest rates. Interest rate bets are overhyped as of now. Use a buy on significant crash in gold and silver and copper till 15th September.

Crash or sell off or a sustained technical breakdown will be there in gold, silver and copper if and only if (i) US stock markets move into a short term bearish trend. (ii) USD/JPY breaks and trades over 148.00 for the next three weeks. (iii) Spot gold does not break $1936-$1940 zone in the next two weeks. Spot silver does not break $25.00 in the next two weeks.

New Singapore commodity exchange aims to launch EV nickel contract this year

  • A new Singapore-based commodities exchange aims to launch the world's first futures contract for a type of nickel used in the booming electric vehicles (EV) sector by the end of this year
  • The Abaxx Commodities Exchange, which is getting its final regulatory approvals in Singapore, plans to launch nickel sulphate futures, the first such contract globally.
  • Liquefied natural gas (LNG) futures and carbon futures will also be launched by the exchange.
  • Instead of having a network of warehouses to store and deliver physical metal like the LME, the new Abaxx nickel contract would facilitate delivery from seller to buyer.
