Metals Report
Monday, April 3rd, 2006

Copper and zinc reversed course to head sharply lower on Friday after hitting new highs earlier in the day. The reversal seemed to be end-of-the-quarter-end window dressing by funds, and was not limited to base metals alone. Selling also engulfed other key commodity complexes, with energy and precious metal prices reversing earlier gains to close lower. Copper peaked at $5510/MT on Friday before closing at $5390/MT, while zinc came off its earlier record high of $2,705/MT to close at $2,645/MT. Ali was also hit hard hit, down $63/MT.
This morning, we are off to a substantially stronger start, as the liquidity generated by Friday’s end-of-the-quarter selling is now being ploughed back into the markets. Copper has practically made up all Friday’s losses, and is up $85/MT, while zinc has soared to new highs, up $82/MT, at $2682/MT.
It should be a busy week on the US economic front starting with today’s numbers; the March ISM manufacturing index comes out today, expected at 57.7. March auto and truck sales will also be out, as will construction spending (expected at .5%). We also get March ISM services readings as well today, (expected at 59), followed by key unemployment and non-farm payroll data on Friday, (expected at 4.8% and 198,000 jobs respectively). March consumer credit numbers come out on Friday, (expected at +3 billion).
Out of Japan, the Bank of Japan's quarterly Tankan survey declined to 20 points in March from 21 points in December, the central bank said this morning. However, sentiment among non- manufacturers rose to 18, the highest since 1992. Similarly strong manufacturing numbers came out of Europe this morning, where Bloomberg reports that March growth in the Euro zone expanded at its fastest pace in more than five years. An index based on a survey of about 3,000 purchasing managers rose to 56.1, the highest reading since September 2000.

Gold set to become even scarcer
By Rebecca Bream in London
Published: April 2 2006 20:21 | Last updated: April 2 2006 20:21

Bobby Godsell, chief executive of AngloGold Ashanti, predicted that worldwide gold production would stagnate, then fall in the coming years as large deposits of the precious metal become scarce.

He said this would support the rally in the gold price, which last week hit a 25-year high of $588 per ounce.

The South African company, the world’s third biggest gold producer, mined 6.2m ounces of gold in 2005 but expects production to be lower this year, between 5.8m and 6.1m ounces, and then increase again in 2007 as new projects come on stream.

But in an interview with the FT, Mr Godsell warned that the gold industry will find it hard to keep up current levels of production. “All of the gold majors are finding it difficult to replace their reserves. New mine production will be flat-to-declining.”

RBC Capital Markets in London estimated that total gold production would rise slightly in 2006 and 2007, be flat in 2008 and start to fall in 2009. “There hasn’t been a big gold discovery for years,” said an analyst.

Mr Godsell said: “Gold is precious because it is scarce. Twenty years ago the majority of gold was produced by four old world countries: South Africa, Australia, Canada and the US. In the future it will be anything but. Tomorrow’s ounces of gold are going to be in interesting countries.”

AngloGold, which has expanded away from its base in South Africa as the country’s reserves of gold dwindle, is focusing on exploration in high potential but high risk areas such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia, Mongolia and Russia.

The high gold price has stimulated exploration activity by smaller mining companies, but Mr Godsell is sceptical about whether this will lead to increased gold supplies as rising costs threaten to kill off these projects. “The juniors have a better track record of finding ore bodies [than major gold companies], but to build a mine now you are talking about $500m for an open pit and at least $1bn for an underground mine,” he said.

Speculation that AngloGold would try to grow by takeover has increased since Anglo American, a UK-listed mining group, said it would cut its stake in the company from 51 per cent to 41 per cent. After Anglo American cedes direct control AngloGold would be “more fleet of foot” in making decisions on mergers and acquisitions, said Mr Godsell. “We look at everything and we have exploratory discussions, but we have no announceable deals.”

Rumours have suggested AngloGold may buy Gold Fields of South Africa, the fourth biggest gold miner, to form the world’s largest gold company. “There are some synergies, we both have mines in South Africa, Ghana and Australia. If we could put together a good deal that would be in the interests of shareholders that would be a great thing to do.”

But he added: “Most M&A activity is value-destructive and this may be particularly true in the gold sector as gold shares trade at a premium.

Rajasthan plans gold, silver exploration
Jaipur | April 03, 2006 7:15:05 PM IST

The Rajasthan government plans to explore gold and silver in a big way following preliminary reports indicating presence of huge reserves of the precious metals in the state.

The decision to go in for the exploration was taken after an initial survey conducted in Lai village in Udaipur district and Jajaron Ka Kheda village in Chittorgarh district revealed high possibilities of the huge gold reserves.

"The detailed report on the availability of gold reserves in Chittorgarh and Udaipur districts is still to come but the preliminary survey has pointed towards the availability of huge gold reserve in the area," Minister of Mines L.N. Dave told IANS here Monday.

Chemical tests conducted at Jajaron Ka Kheda village suggested the availability of up to 0.2 grammes of gold per tonne. Moreover, huge silver and copper reserves have also been located in Ajmer and Bhilwara districts.

The survey conducted at Srinagar area of Ajmer district has predicted the availability of 1.50 percent of copper in a one-metre thick layer located at a depth of 160 metres and 1.9 percent of copper in a 14-metre thick layer in the same area at a depth of 193-207 metres.as/am

@ Schuldenblase

SILBER Spot Quote:
gerade jetzt wieder RIESIGE Preisunterschiede aber jetzt umgekehrt, bei fallenden Kursen, wie vor ein par Tagen:

KITCO 11,55

Forex 11,68

Meinen Forex Kurs bekomme ich von 3 Banken so!
Ich denke daß der Kitco Spotpreis bei offener Terminbörse Comex von dessen Spot Month Kontrakt kommt, also anderen Ursprung hat. Aber nichts genaues weis man nicht.
Ich hatte mal vor 6-10 Monaten bei Kitco angefragt welche Quelle die für den Silber Spot Kurs haben = 0 Antwort !

Jetzt während ich schreibe, wir der Silber-Chart GEBÜGELT !!!

Der Harken, der RUNTER bis auf 11,55 ging, ist jetzt einfach weg !!!

Derartiges "verhalten" kann ich nur als unseriös bezeichnen.

Kann sich jemand hier im Forum erklären was es mit diesem Quotenzauber von Kitco auf sich hat ???
