Asian Metals Market Update for 4th August 2023

US July nonfarm payroll has to come it at or above 2,00,000 along with a sharp fall in unemployment rate to cause a selloff in gold, silver, and copper, base metals and energies. If not, then all the dips should be used as a short term investment opportunity. BUT use stop loss higher than you normally do.

Copper, base metals and crude oil rose sharply yesterday after the initial morning fall. There will be buying on dips is the message. Trend is bullish as long as yesterday’s low hold. US stock markets needs to crash or crumble for another wave of sell off in all asset classes except bond yields.

Trend after London PM Fix is the key for gold and silver and should continue till next week. Trend between 6:00 pm Indian Time and 9:00 pm Indian Time is the key for copper and base metals. WTI/Nymex Crude oil if it rises today and Monday will target $90+ by next week.

  • Daily support: $1917.70, $1937.30

  • Spot gold has to trade over $1927.30 today to be in an intraday bullish zone and rise to $1954 and $1972.
  • Crash or sell off will be there if and only if spot gold trades below $1927.30 after Nonfarm payrolls and till day’s close.
