2 Gold Gold fell 1 percent on Monday, touching a 2-1/2-week low, as the dollar strengthened and U.S. Treasury yields rose ahead of a two-day Federal Reserve meeting, while a world stock market index surged to a record and Wall Street also hit new highs. Easing tensions on the Korean peninsula also reduced gold's safe-haven bid. On Sept. 8, gold's session high of $1, an ounce was the highest in 13 months. On Friday, U.S. data showed hedge funds and other speculators had raised net long positions in the precious metal for nine straight weeks. The dollar hit an eight-week high against the yen, as investors increased bets the Fed could raise interest rates in December. Fed policy makers meet Tuesday and Wednesday. Investors expect the Fed will announce plans to start trimming its balance sheet, which should support the dollar and weigh on dollar-priced gold. Investors grew less worried about tensions on the Korean peninsula. Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump spoke about pressuring North Korea with economic sanctions imposed through the United Nations, the White House said. Trump addresses world leaders at the United Nations on Tuesday.

3 Crude Oil Global crude oil prices slipped slightly Monday but stayed close to multimonth highs as traders braced for a potential stockpile build, expected later this week. Oil refineries across the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean were restarting after being shut as hurricanes Harvey and Irma battered the region over the past three weeks. Speculators raised their net long positions in Brent futures and options by 16,962 contracts to 430,699 in the week to Sept. 12, InterContinental Exchange (ICE) data showed, the highest level since March. The increase was the first in four weeks. Hedge funds and other money managers cut their bullish bets on U.S. crude futures and options in the week to Sept. 12, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission reported on Friday.

4 Base Metals Lead prices hit two-week highs on Monday as worries increased about tighter supplies amid China's environmental crackdown, strong demand and falling inventories in Shanghai. China's Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) last month embarked on its fourth round of environmental inspections across eight provinces and regions, including Shandong. Chinese research firm Antaike said the start of environmental inspections in Sichuan province had caused 60 percent of local lead-zinc mines to shut down for month-long maintenance. That could mean lower supplies of zinc and lead in August and September. More than half of global lead supplies come from secondary or recycled sources, which analysts say cannot make up for losses from primary or mine supplies Technical Sep/Nov* Strategy S2 S1 Close R1 R2 Copper* Sideways Nickel Sideways Alum Sideways Lead Sideways Zinc Sideways We expect base metal prices likely to trade sideways on the back of short covering after drop in prices.
