ŸGold closed nearly unchanged today at 1317. Key support is at the 1273 low from August 7. Resistance is at the recent high of
1354. While recent price action has not been bullish, we note that a positive reversal formed between August 7 and September
17, which generates a target of 1461. A positive reversal, in the methodology created by technician Constance Brown, is
where the RSI makes a new pivot low while price makes a higher pivot low. We are watching the 1273 support area to
determine if gold is trying to form a base, or if it will make a new leg lower.

Gold eased overnight to open today's session at 1302.50/1303.50. Price dipped slightly to a low of 1301.75/1302.75, before
advancing to peak at 1322.00/1323.00 on higher than expected US continuing claims. Equities declined as the standoff in US
government continued, giving a small boost to precious metals. Gold closed today at 1317.00/1318.00.
Gold gains after softer U.S. services sector data raised expectations that the Federal Reserve would delay any reduction in
economic stimulus.
ŸA partial shutdown of U.S. federal government operations was expected to delay highly-anticipated non-farm payrolls report
for September.
ŸSPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, said its holdings fell 0.20 percent, or 1.8 tonnes, to
899.99 tonnes
Ÿ Silver traded mostly flat on the day. The metal opened at 21.46/21.51, touched a low of 21.41/21.46, before moving
to a high of 21.80/21.85 by midday as USD weakened. Price traded around this level for the remainder of the
session, closing at 21.72/21.77.
Ÿ Silver closed slightly lower today at 21.72. Interim support is at the October low of 20.62. There is also a daily uptrend
in place at 20.53. While technicals have certainly not been bullish, it will be constructive if silver can hold this uptrend
line. There is resistance in the low-22 area which has been a congestion area since mid-September, and which was
previously a big support level from April to June.
ŸThe gold-silver ratio is trading higher today at 60.82; however is still vulnerable to further losses. The downside target
is 58.70, the last major low (from September 19). Resistance is at the recent high at 62.37.
ŸSilver got support by a weaker U.S. dollar, as the shutdown continued into a second day with no end in sight.
ŸInvestors continued to weigh the implications of a protracted U.S. government shutdown.
ŸMarkets were also considering how the political deadlock in Washington will impact negotiations to raise the U.S. debt
ceiling.

in Asian trading Friday. The November contract settled lower by 0.76% at USD103.31 per barrel on Thursday.
Ÿ The U.S. government shutdown has carried on for the third day in a row, as House Republicans are still unable to strike
a deal on spending cuts with the Senate Democrats. A shooting near Capitol Hill, which was later on considered an
isolated incident, also kept risk-taking in check.
ŸIn U.S. economic news out Thursday, the ISM non-manfacturing PMI showed a sharper than expected decline from 58.6 to
54.4, lower than the consensus at 57.4.
Ÿ Oil futures traded lower during Friday's Asian session amid a batch of disappointing economic data and an ongoing
government shutdown that threatens to imperil the world's largest economy.

later this month.
ŸCrude inventories in the United States rose sharply last week as refinery utilisation fell, while the drawdown at Cushing slowed.

ŸCopper prices were likely to find support at USD3.249 a pound, Wednesday's low and resistance at USD3.339 a pound, the high from
September 30.
ŸCopper futures swung between small gains and losses on Thursday, as investors weighed upbeat data on non-manufacturing activity
in China while continuing to monitor political wrangling in Washington.

demand.
Ÿ ISM said its services index fell to 54.4 last month after nearing an eight-year high in August.
