MAJOR EVENTS
Gold fell around 2 percent on Friday, its biggest one-day drop in over three weeks, as funds dumped bullion after resilient US jobs data suggested the Federal Reserve could begin to scale back its monetary stimulus later this year. The metal posted its first weekly drop in two weeks after Friday's selloff more than erased gains earlier this week. A sharp dollar drop and strong physical demand had lifted gold above $1,400 an ounce for most of this week. For the week, bullion eased 0.3 percent. The United States added 175,000 jobs last month after adding just 149,000 in April, reducing hopes of prolonged stimulus, and that weighed down on gold's inflation-hedge appeal. Spot gold was down 2.1 percent at $1,383.96 an ounce by 2:28 p.m. EDT (1828 GMT), having hit a low of $1,377.29, the lowest since May 28.U.S. Comex gold futures for August delivery settled down $32.80 an ounce at $1,383.00.The nonfarm payrolls report also showed that U.S. unemployment rate ticked a tenth of a point higher to 7.6 percent, but only because more Americans began to hunt for jobs.

Gold falls 2 pc as US jobs data dims stimulus hope.

Oil rose Friday ahead of the release of a key US jobs report that traders will examine for clues to the health of the US economy. Benchmark oil for July delivery was up 36 cents to $95.12 per barrel at late afternoon Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract gained $1.02 to finish at $94.76 a barrel Thursday. The US Labor Department will release its employment report for May later in the day. A good result is expected, following a drop in jobless claims reported on Thursday. Oil prices were also being supported by a weaker dollar and a bigger-than-expected drop in crude inventories reported by the US Energy Department and the American Petroleum Institute for the week ending May 31. Brent crude, a benchmark for many international oil varieties, rose 55 cents to $104.16 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.

Oil price near $95 ahead of US jobs report.

Copper price movement above $7,500/ton is an opportunity to sell the base metal on likely slowing Chinese consumption over the summer alongside further supply increase through second half of the year. Copper prices are expected to witness a fall in the second quarter of this year on improved supply. The bank favours selling into rally in the base metal. However, in the short term the commodity's prices may go up on recent supply disruptions, fall in scrap supply and short positioning as well as seasonal improvement in Chinese demand. The mining activities at Grasberg, world's second largest copper mine would remain shut till a government enquiry ends on tunnel mishap that killed mine workers. The mine is expected to remain shut for three months. Closure of mine for three months mean loss of 120 Kt of copper production. However, it was subsequently noted by the Indonesian economics minister that the investigation should proceed as quickly as possible, suggesting that the shut-down could be much shorter.

Copper above $7,500/t an opportunity to short.
