The dollar fell against most major currencies, as investors continue to be convinced that central banks around the world will support measures to stimulate the economy, which immediately led to a growing demand for higher-yielding assets. Add that little support for the U.S. currency has had a report that showed that the number of U.S. workers who filed new claims for unemployment benefits fell for the first time in four weeks, but analysts warn against too optimistic estimates due to seasonal fluctuations around the Easter holiday.

Oil prices fell, dropping at the same time below $ 105 per barrel, not much above the eight-month low, after analysts cut forecasts for global growth and demand for oil, and crude oil in the U.S. has reached its highest level in more than two decades. Unsatisfactory economic growth in the United States and in a number of developing countries, as well as a deep recession in parts of Europe have undermined demand for fuel at a time when oil production is growing rapidly, especially in North America.

Meanwhile, today it was announced that the International Energy Agency lowered its estimate for oil consumption in the 1st quarter of 2013 to 115,000 barrels a day to 89.9 million barrels a day. However, the forecast for growth in global oil consumption in 2013 was left almost unchanged at 0.8 million barrels per day. In addition, the report showed that the growth in oil demand in OECD countries will slow to 480,000 barrels a day in 2013, the IEA also lowered its forecast for oil supply from non-OPEC in 2013 to 20,000 barrels per day to 54.4 million barrels per day. Economists agency also added that the low level of activity in the industry will lead to the fact that in 2013 the demand for gasoline will exceed the demand for gas oil. At the same time, they noted that the current decline in oil prices may be short-lived.

Note that lowering forecasts raised concerns about the strength of the economic recovery. These concerns were highlighted by U.S. data, which were presented last week, and showed that employers hired in March, far fewer staff than expected.

Meanwhile, many traders fear that the outbreak of hostilities between the U.S. and Iran could disrupt oil supplies from the Persian Gulf.

The recent rise in gold was reserved in 1561 marked the beginning of the U.S. session. At the moment, the price of gold fell again to trade at USD $ 1557.68 with a negative bias. Metal is in a bearish consolidation, but prolonged stability above 1570 will neutralize this attitude.

Gold prices rose, while recovering from a week minimum. After yesterday's release of the Fed minutes precious metals and raw materials constantly changed direction, as no one fully knows that the Fed's policy will mean in practice, but many are already aware that the suspension of QE3 will provoke a fall in prices for the yellow metal.

We also add that the dynamics of trade affected U.S. data. According to a report published by the U.S. Department of Labor, initial claims for unemployment benefits in the U.S. for the week March 31 - April 6 decreased by 42 thousand to 346 thousand (Consensus 362 thousand). The obtained data are somewhat offset the recent concerns about the labor market. Initial claims for unemployment benefits in the U.S. for the week of March 24-30, revised to 388 thousand from 385 thousand secondary applications for unemployment benefits in the U.S. for the week of March 24-30 decreased by 12 thousand to 3.079 million

Meanwhile, experts note that the decline in stocks of exchange-traded funds, lowering forecasts for gold in the current year from Goldman Sachs, and the uncertainty about the stimulus programs of the Federal Reserve also influenced the prices.

May futures on COMEX gold rose today, and now stands at 1563.60 dollars per ounce.
