    Oil: A review of the market situation

    Prices for WTI crude oil rose moderately, while entrenched above $ 50, as new data pointed to the small increase in inventories in Cushing terminal. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil fell slightly, came under pressure OPEC secretary general comments.

    Genscape reported that oil reserves in Cushing last week rose by 1.7 million barrels. Increase in reserves was smaller than previously expected. Concern that the capacity of the terminal Cushing exhausted, were not confirmed. "These Genscape show much less significant increase in reserves than previously expected. It seems much more oil out of Cushing to the Gulf Coast than we thought. In storage tanks on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico stock levels high, but there is storage capacity is not as close to the complete exhaustion, as in other parts of the United States, "- said Carl Larry from Frost & Sullivan

    As for the statements OPEC secretary general Abdullah al-Badri, he noted that the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries should not reduce production to "subsidize" more expensive shale oil. Recall oil prices in recent months have fallen sharply as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries refused to reductions in production, while production rates in the US were the highest in the past more than 30 years, creating an increased level of supply in the world oil market .

    Also affected the course of trading forecasts Goldman Sachs. According to a recent report in the short term, oil prices could fall to US $ 40 mark as the world's oil reserves begin to grow again. Falling prices almost 60%, which took place last year, was replaced by a moderate rise in prices in January and February. "While we continue to forecast a decent recovery in demand in 2015, we believe that the consistent weakening of activity, the end of winter and reduced demand due to restocking, will cause a slowdown in demand in the spring," - said the Goldman Sachs.

    Market participants also continue to analyze data from Baker Hughes, which showed that the number of drilling oil installations in the US fell by 63 last week to 923, its lowest level since June 2011. Experts note that the shrinking number of drilling rigs in recent months is a sign that in the end the excess supply of oil on the market is reduced.

    April futures price for US light crude oil WTI (Light Sweet Crude Oil) rose to 50.22 dollars per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

    April futures price for North Sea Brent crude oil mix fell $ 0.52 to 59.30 dollars a barrel on the London Stock Exchange ICE Futures Europe.

    Gold: A review of the market situation

    Gold lost previously earned a position at the same time returning to opening levels. Support prices have expectations of the meeting of eurozone finance ministers, who will discuss the proposed economic reforms Greece.

    "It seems that the markets are still unable to ignore the situation in Greece," - said Commerzbank analyst Carsten Commodities Fritsch. The expert suggested that the financial condition of the country is more dangerous than previously thought, which means that Greece may require financial assistance earlier than expected.

    The rise in prices is constrained by expectations of higher interest rates in the United States, which intensified after the release of a positive report on the labor market. Recall, the report showed that the number of people employed in non-agricultural sectors increased by 295 thousand. In February against expectations at the level of 241 thousand. Meanwhile, the figures for January and December were revised downward - as a whole by 18 thousand .. Unemployment rate, the time down to 5.5% from 5.7% in January. Experts predicted that the rate will drop to 5.6%.

    Positive data underlined expectations that the Fed will raise interest rates in the middle of this year. It should be emphasized, after the release of the report, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Jeffrey Lacker said he believes the June meeting of the central bank the best time to raise interest rates. Lacker also said that as the economy corresponds to his expectations, he seems to June "prime candidate" for the onset of action and increase short-term interest rates from the current near-zero levels.

    Small effect has also statistics on China. It is learned that the trade surplus in January-February was $ 60.60 billion, compared with expectations of $ 7.8 billion and $ 60.0 billion since January. In annual terms, exports grew last month at 48.3%, while imports decreased by 20.5%. Reduction in imports points to the continued weakness in the economy, causing speculation that Beijing policymakers need to take additional measures to stimulate economic growth.

    Meanwhile, it became known that the gold reserves in the SPDR Gold Trust fell on Friday to its lowest level in more than a month.

    April futures price of gold on the COMEX today rose to 1166.80 dollars per ounce.

    European stock markets mid-session: Stocks track U.S. losses

    European stocks recovered slightly over the course of the day after a negative start tracking losses in the U.S. Greece remains in the focus as the proposed list of measures is far from complete, the head of Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem said on Sunday. Today Eurozone finance ministers will further discuss on how to proceed with Greece and its reform plans. Time is running out for the country as it is expected to run out of money by the end of the month.

    Today Destatis reported data on the Trade Balance of Eurozone's biggest economy that showed a decline from January's balance and was below expectations. The Trade Balance narrowed from revised 21.6 billion euros (21.8) to 19.7 billion. Economist expected a rise to 22.3 billion euros.

    Exports showed the sharpest decline in five months and slumped by 2.1% after strong gains in December although the weaker euro should bolster exports in the future. Imports declined by 0.3%.

    Market research group Sentix reported data on Investor Confidence today. The survey was conducted among 1000 private and institutional investors. Investor Confidence for March came in at 18.6, climbing 6.2 points, compared to forecasts of 15 points and a previous reading of 12.4, reaching the highest reading since August 2007.

    The stronger-than-expected data eases concerns over the economic outlook of the Eurozone. A weaker Euro, Quantitative Easing and lower oil prices boost the European economy. A level above zero shows that optimism prevails, below zero indicates pessimism.

    Oil prices declined by almost 60% between June 2014 and January 2015 and recovered by almost 35% in 2015.Although prices rebounded after setting new lows, worldwide supply still exceeds demand in a period of low global economic growth, pushing stockpiles to record highs and weighing on prices.

    Gold moderately rebounds from Friday’s selloff

    Gold recovered moderately from Friday's selloff but still trades close to 3-month lows. Better-than-expected U.S. jobs data reported on Friday added to expectations that the FED will hike interest rates rather sooner than later sending the precious metal down to intraday-lows not seen since December.

    A stronger U.S. dollar and the prospect for higher U.S. rates recently weighed on the precious metal as the precious metal is dollar-denominated and not yield-bearing.

    Today Eurogroup meetings will be in the focus where the Eurozone finance ministers meet to discuss on how to proceed with Greece as the proposed list of measures is far from complete, the head of Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem said on Sunday.

    The stronger-than-expected data eases concerns over the economic outlook of the Eurozone. A weaker Euro, Quantitative Easing and lower oil prices boost the European economy. A level above zero shows that optimism prevails, below zero indicates pessimism.

    Press Review: Eurogroup's Dijsselbloem: Greece reform outline 'far from complete'

    RBNZ Likely Looking at New Tools to Avoid Rate Rises, Key Says

    (Bloomberg) -- New Zealand's central bank is probably investigating new tools to slow housing demand because it is unable to raise interest rates in a low-inflation environment, Prime Minister John Key says.

    The Reserve Bank said last week it was seeking views on how to define property investment loans, adding to signs it may tighten rules in an attempt to cool surging house prices. Key said he hadn't been briefed on the issue by the RBNZ while a spokesman for the central bank declined to comment.

    "It's clearly trying to ensure there's not a bubble emerging in the housing market," Key told reporters in Wellington Monday. "It's doing so in such a way that it's not having to lift interest rates."

    Eurogroup's Dijsselbloem: Greece reform outline 'far from complete'

    (Reuters) - A list of reforms proposed by Greece last week to help it win creditor support is "far from complete," the head of the Eurogroup said.

    Speaking at an event in Amsterdam on Sunday, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who is also Dutch finance minister, said the Greek proposal was "serious" but not enough.

    Dijsselbloem, whose Eurogroup of euro zone finance ministers will discuss Greece at a meeting on Monday, said Athens had submitted six proposals, with more expected to come.

    ECB Said to Begin Buying German Government Bonds in QE

    (Bloomberg) -- The European Central Bank was said to start buying euro-area government bonds as it took the first step of its expanded quantitative-easing plan designed to boost price growth in the region.

    Central banks from the region bought German bonds, said two traders in government debt, who asked not to be identified because the transactions are confidential. Sovereign securities across the region advanced. A spokesman for the ECB declined to comment on the purchases.

    Bonds rallied. The yield on Germany's 10-year bunds fell four basis points, or 0.04 percentage point, to 0.35 percent at 8:54 a.m. London time, approaching the record-low 0.283 percent set on Feb. 26. Italy's 10-year yield dropped four basis points to 1.28 percent.

    European stock markets First hour: Stocks decline tracking Wall Street

    European stocks follow the Wall Street and fall at the start. On Friday strong U.S. jobs data led U.S. shares lower on expectations that the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates rather sooner than later.

    Greece remains in the focus as the proposed list of measures is far from complete, the head of Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem said on Sunday.

    Today Destatis reported data on the Trade Balance of Eurozone's biggest economy that showed a decline from January's Balance and was below expectations. The Trade Balance fell from revised 21.6 billion euros (21.8) to 19.7 billion. Economist expected a rise to 22.3 billion euros.

    Exports showed the sharpest decline in five months and slumped by 2.1% after strong gains in December although the weaker euro should bolster exports in the future. Imports declined by 0.3%.

    Markets look forward to Eurozone's Sentix Investor Confidence data due at 09:30 GMT and the Eurogroup meetings scheduled for 10:00 GMT where Eurozone finance ministers will further discuss on how to proceed with Greece. Time is running out for the country as it is expected to run out of money by the end of the month.

    The FTSE 100 index is currently trading -0.60% quoted at 6,870.67. Germany's DAX 30 lost -0.55% trading at 11,487.80, France's CAC 40 is currently trading at 4,928.83 points, -0.72%.
