The intraday bias on base metals is negative and we expect a marginal decline in prices in the evening session. The rally this year has been
largely driven by supply shortages instead of a stronger demand forecast.
China, which is the largest consumer of base metals, has been struggling but recent macroeconomic data points to a recovery in the immedi-
-ate term. The market is also being supported by fears of a tighter physical market as the impact of Chinese cuts begin to impact the supply
side in the coming months.
The intraday bias is positive and we expect a strong upside to Rs.3450-3465 in the later session whereas, on the downside, a break below
Rs.3375 could trigger a correction in the commodity this week. The fundamentals are largely bullish for prices particularly driven by the supply
side reductions from OPEC, Russia and the US which has been hit largely due to the hurricanes.
The increased compliance from OPEC countries has done a strong job of countering the excessive supply from the US. The focus this week
will also be on the weekly inventories report which could show a potential drop in crude and gasoline supplies boosting prices in the short term.

Commodity Buzz
Gold and the Dollar: Good news and bad news
We've all had people come up to us and say "Do you want the good news first or the bad news?" I always opt for the bad news first, to get
it out of way and end on a lighter note. The bad news is that the dollar looks set to stage a significant "swan-song" rally in coming weeks,
which will probably result in gold being beaten down again. The good news is that once that's done its toastand that's when the big gold
and silver bull market that longer-term charts are calling for will really get underway.
The last update called for the dollar to drop down to mark out the Right Shoulder of a Head-and-Shoulders bottom pattern, and for gold to
break out of its rather steep intermediate downtrend and rally, and that is exactly what has since happened. On its latest 8-month chart, we
can see how the dollar has backed off to the vicinity of its flattened out 50-day moving average and the vicinity of the Left Shoulder low of
the base pattern, in order to mark out the Right Shoulder low.
Three bullish developments to be noted that result from the dollar rising out of the Head of the pattern are the breakout from the downtrend,
the break clear above the 50-day moving average, and the big improvement in momentum (MACD), which is swinging positive. If our inter-
-pretation that this is a genuine Head-and-Shoulders bottom is proven valid, the pattern targets the 97 area in coming weeks, probably by
early November. Needless to say, this will not be good news for gold and silver prices.
Our prediction made many weeks ago that the dollar would rally off the lower boundary of its big bullhorn pattern shown on the 4-year chart
below to break out above its restraining Dome has proven to be correct, and a projection has been drawn on this chart showing roughly
what is expected to happen.
