China's natural gas pipeline imports from Turkmenistan and Myanmar increased substantially in March compared to the previous year. Copper prices rose sharply due to bottom fishing and a weaker US dollar, testing highs and lows during the session.

2. MAJOR EVENTS
Gold stayed weak triggered by positive equities ahead of the release of the US durable
good orders data later today. Gold jumped impressively yesterday nightas global
crude oil prices soared to their highest levels in nearly four months.However, the
broad sentiments in gold have been hurt after the commodity failed to break above
its 100 day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Positive European stocks and mild
correction in crude oil is keeping a tab on the metal today.
COMEX Gold June contract isquoting at $1,190.80 per ounce, down $3.50 per ounce
on the day. Silver Maydelivery is quoting at $15.805, down 2.4 cents per ounce.
Investors lookfor developments in Greece. Greek bond prices fell, asinvestors waited
to what euro zone finance ministers meeting in Riga, Latvia, have to say about the
country's debt troubles. Greece and its creditors have been unable to reach a deal on
the economic reformsneeded for Athens to receive the next tranche of bailout funds.
Euro is almost in steady tone supportedby strong German IFO numbers in general.
Euro quotes at $1.0814, a tad down0.09% over last day close and the US dollar index
is at 98.49, up 0.06%.
China imported 1.98 million mt of natural gas via pipeline in March, 41.3% higher
than the same month last year, detailed data from the General Administration of
Customs showed Thursday.
The customs department reports natural gas trade data in metric tons, similar to LNG
imports. March's pipeline imports equate to about 2.73 Bcm. The increase was
largely due to a 26.3% increase in inflows from Turkmenistan to 1.57 million mt.
China National Petroleum Corp. is responsible for importing gas from Turkmenistan's
state-owned Turkmengas under a long-term deal expected to hit 65 Bcm/year by
2020.
CNPC also imports gas from Myanmar into China's southern Yunnan province and
surrounding areas. Total volumes from Myanmar in March were up 49.4% to 205,054
mt, the data showed. China's imports of gas from Kazakhstan, where private
company Xinjiang Guanghui imports some of its Kazakh equity production, fell 15.8%
year on year to 18,600 mt last month.

Domestic Copper
Gains On Account
of Bottom Fishing.
Copper rises sharply on the back of bottom fishing at the last session. MCX Copper saw
strong recovery at the last session of the week. This was due to the fact that the prices
had already faced correction that brought some trading and speculative demand back
in the contract. The rise can also be linked to the fall in US Dollar against major
currencies that has given the momentum back to metals. MCX Copper April expiry was
last trading at Rs 382.85 per kg, up 1.60%. The prices tested a high of Rs 383.70 per kg
and a low of Rs 376.30 per kg. The dollar was broadly lower against a basket of other
major currencies on Friday, as the previous session's downbeat U.S. data continued to
weigh and as markets awaited an upcoming report on U.S. durable goods orders later
in the day.
The dollar remained under pressure after the U.S. Department of Labor reported on
Thursday that the number of individuals filing for initial jobless benefits increased
unexpectedly by 1,000 to 295,000 last week from the previous week's total of 294,000.
Data also showed that U.S. new home sales dropped 11.4% last month to 481,000
units, compared to expectations for a 5.3% fall to 513,000 units.
