Gold

Gold advanced at Comex while locally gains came on Saturday as government refrained from cutting down the import duty from current 10% levels. Unexpectedly the finance minister left the import tax on the metal unchanged against broad expectations of a cut in the range if 2-4%. Looking at cues from international markets, gold had a mixed week with FED comments supporting along with Chinese cues. In the coming week, one of the major cues over economic side which can drive good volatility in Bullion would be the important employment indicators from the US. The Non-Farm payrolls data for which markets forecasts stand for a reading around 235,000-245,000 monthly Job addition. This is the near the average reading for 2014 while moderately lower than 257,000 added in Jan. If we get a reading in the aforementioned range, other than intraday volatility which the data tends to drive, we believe it would largely be seen on positive footing supporting the bullish case for US Dollar and equities while act negatively for Gold. Though demand from China which saw decent increase in last week may support moderately, overall the commodity is likely to extend its bearish move. Also from India, the import duty staying higher could act moderately negative over consumption and further add weight on the commodity. We recommend selling the commodity on higher levels in next week.
