MAJOR EVENTS Gold futures are trading sideways today though the COMEX futures linger below

$1300 perounce mark. Prices have come off their five month highs. Sharp gains in US

dollar havecapped gold this week. Safe-haven demand propped up the metal last

week as a break above$1200 per ounce extended following the surprising news that

Swiss National Bank abruptlyabandoned the Swiss franc's peg to Euro. This week, the

traders are booking profits afterprices soared 10% in first three weeks of 2014. Even

the much touted ECB QuantitativeEasing decision is not helping gold much. COMEX

Gold is trading at $1297.10 per ounce,down $3.60 per ounce on the day. MCX Gold

futures are quoting at Rs 28055 per 10 grams, upRs 19 per 10 grams on the day.

The US dollar is quoting near a fresh 11 year high around 1.1300 against the Euro.

ECBPresident Mario Draghi said yesterday that the central bank would make monthly

bondpurchases of as much as 60 billion Euros starting in March, and running through

Septemberof next year. Draghi's announcement came after the ECB held benchmark

rates unchanged atrecord lows. This has boosted stocks around the globe and the

European indices are tradingaround with gains of around 1.5%-2%.

Oil fell to the lowest in almost six years on speculation the death of King Abdullah of

Saudi Arabia won’t signal any change in strategy for the world’s largest crude

exporter.

U.S. benchmark oil futures slid 1.6 percent, reversing an initial gain of as much as 3.1

percent. Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who succeeds Abdullah on the throne, said he

would maintain his predecessor’s policies. The kingdom will not cut production to

boost prices because other producers would fill in the gap, Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin

Talal Al Saud said. U.S. crude inventories rose the most since 2001 last week,

according to a government report on Thursday.

“There already has been a pretty well established succession plan so it’s not a big

deal,” said Kyle Cooper, director of commodities research at IAF Advisors in Houston.

“Supply has been very stout and demand’s not been what people had expected. It

highlights the bearish sentiment in the market.”
