FUNDAMENTALS OF COMMODITY:

* Gold extended losses to below $1,770 an ounce on Friday, close to levels not seen in two weeks and recording its worst week in more than a month as prospects of a robust economic recovery pushed Treasury yields higher, denting bullion's appeal. The US economy advanced at an annual rate of 6.4% in the first quarter of 2021, while a slew of economic data, including upbeat personal income and spending figures and a betterthan-expected jobless claims report, reinforced the view of a strong US economic bounce. Meantime, the US Federal Reserve reiterated its ultra-accommodative monetary policy while also acknowledging an improving economic outlook and a rise in inflation.

* Oil prices fell more than 2% on Friday, with WTI crude settling around $63.50 a barrel on concerns that a deepening coronavirus crisis in India may dent oil demand. Still, WTI ended the week on a high note, and, looking for how it performed in April, the US benchmark rose more than 7% as optimism about robust demand recovery in the second half of the year outweighed concerns about the impact of soaring COVID-19 cases in India, Japan and Brazil.

* The rubber market gained some upside momentum, with futures on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange climbing to over 240 yen per Kg for the first time since end-March on concerns that a worsening coronavirus situation domestically and in other Asian countries could result in rubber shortage. The central government approved a third Covid-19 state of emergency for Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo from April 25th to May 11th to curb a renewed surge in infections. In the broader scenario, rubber futures also benefited from higher oil prices and strength in other commodities.
