2. MARKET WRAP
BULLION:
With the US adding just 16200 jobs in the nonfarm sector, the futures of crude
oil closed lower on the Nymex on Friday. The data stoked gold futures higher
and pulled the commodity out of a distress position and helped it cross the
$1300 mark.
“Earlier this week we saw economic data that pointed towards a recovery, and
that coupled with a strong dollar kept gold under pressure,” Tom Power, a
senior commodity broker at R.J. O’Brien & Associates in Chicago said to
Bloomberg.
Gold had gone below the crucial support of $1300 following optimism about
the US economy.
Meanwhile data suggested that US unemployment rate touched 7.4% in July,
according to US labour department.
However, the data was not enough to propel crude oil futures further up even
as some profit booking too took place.

"We've got a pullback from the jobs data, but I suspect we are also seeing
some profit-taking before the weekend," said Bob Yawger, director of energy
futures at Mizuho Securities in New York to Reuters.
"That said, we are still trading at historically high levels. I wouldn't be
surprised if we tested $110, although that won't happen today," he noted.
