* Gold fell nearly 1.80% on Friday and registered its first weekly loss in four amid speculation that its rally to an all-time high earlier this week may have gone too far. Another reason for the steep drop in yellow metal is possibly a slowdown in seasonal demand for physical gold, signaling "anxiety over the worsening recession in Jewellery and retail investment demand, especially in China.“

* Crude oil declined more than 2.50% last week, influenced by renewed hopes of a ceasefire in Gaza and concern about the demand outlook. Recent data showed China's economy grew by a slower-than-expected 4.7% in Q2, heightening concerns about oil demand from the world's top importer.

* Natural gas prices fell by roughly 8.60% last week, due to milder weather forecasts and lower feed gas to LNG export plants.

* Last week, base metals extended losses, with copper being the top loser, declining 5.74% due to growing supply and sluggish demand from top metals consumers in China. A lack of economic policy direction from the Chinese government harmed investor sentiment, causing a significant drop in all industrial metals.

* World stock indexes dipped on Friday as investors felt anxious about a global cyber disruption.

* What to Watch: Next week, investors will closely monitor US macro data, which includes the Fed's preferred price gauge, the core PCE deflator, and second quarter GDP data. Apart from this, India's budget is an important macro event for the domestic market.
