Daily Commodity Analysis
Introduction
Global commodity markets remain cautious as investors assess shifting monetary policy expectations and geopolitical developments. Gold, silver, oil, and natural gas are navigating key technical levels, with upcoming Federal Reserve signals, US–Iran talks, and evolving supply dynamics shaping near-term price direction and broader market sentiment.
Markets In Focus Today – GOLD
Gold trims its intraday decline but remains in negative territory above the $4,900 level as fading safe-haven demand weighs on prices.
Gold (XAU/USD) sees continued selling pressure for a second consecutive day, sliding to a more than one-week low near the $4,858 region ahead of Tuesday’s European session. The metal, however, recovers above $4,900 as traders turn cautious and await clearer signals on the policy outlook from the Federal Reserve before committing to fresh directional positions. Attention now shifts to the release of the FOMC minutes on Wednesday, while Friday’s US Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index is expected to be a key driver of near-term US Dollar dynamics. These events could provide fresh impetus for the non-yielding metal later in the week. For now, the USD remains on the back foot amid expectations of a more dovish Fed stance. Markets have increasingly priced in a June rate cut, along with the possibility of more than two reductions this year, limiting demand for the greenback and supporting gold prices. In addition, lingering uncertainty ahead of the second round of US–Iran nuclear talks may further underpin demand for the safe-haven precious metal.

SILVER
Silver (XAG/USD) Price Forecast: Inverse Formation Signals Potential Breakout.
Silver is trying to find a base near long-term channel support, where a potential inverse head-and-shoulders pattern is taking shape. While the metal remains in a corrective phase, holding above Friday’s low at $73.98 could confirm a higher swing low and complete the formation. A bullish breakout, however, would only be validated if prices reclaim the lower swing high at $86.32. Before that, a move back above the 10-day and 50-day moving averages near $80.22 would offer an early, albeit modest, sign of improving momentum. Given the ongoing consolidation, these averages carry less significance but may still provide short-term signals. A sustained recovery toward $86.32 could follow such developments, with price behavior around the descending neckline of the potential base offering additional insight into reversal strength.

CRUDE OIL
WTI Oil trades cautiously above the $63.00 mark as geopolitical developments remain in focus.
Crude oil prices edge lower in thin trading on Tuesday but remain confined within February’s established range, with attention firmly on renewed US–Iran talks. The US benchmark WTI has eased from Monday’s peak near $63.70, though it continues to hold above the $63.00 level at the time of writing. With several Asian markets closed for the Lunar New Year and the US returning from a long holiday weekend, market activity has been muted. Investors are watching closely as discussions between Washington and Tehran resume in Geneva later on Tuesday. Iran’s foreign minister noted earlier that the US stance on the nuclear issue has shifted toward a “more realistic” approach, although tensions remain elevated, underscored by the US deployment of aircraft carriers to the Arabian Sea. At the same time, a weekend report from Reuters suggested that OPEC+ may consider restarting output increases from April in anticipation of stronger demand during the Western summer, a prospect that is limiting upside momentum in oil prices.

NATURAL GAS
Natural gas prices have retreated sharply toward the $3 support area following the winter-driven surge, yet the technical setup points to the possibility of a rebound emerging from the $2.50–$3.00 zone.
On the daily timeframe, natural gas recorded a sharp rally during the winter season, peaking near the $7.40 mark. Following this surge, prices underwent a steep correction, declining by more than 50% to around $3. Currently, the market is attempting to stabilize and rebound from this support area, searching for its next directional move. The orange shaded region on the daily chart represents a crucial support zone, aligned with the neckline of a cup-and-handle formation. As a result, the $2.50–$3.00 range stands out as a pivotal demand area. Holding above this zone could pave the way for another upward rebound in natural gas prices, potentially targeting higher resistance levels in the near term.
