World commodity chart update for 04/05/2009

Gold closed lower on Friday as it extended last week's decline. A short covering rally tempered early losses and the high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI are bearish signalling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. Closes below Tuesday's low crossing would temper the near-term bullish outlook. If it renews last week's rally, the reaction high crossing is the next upside target.

Silver closed higher on Friday as it consolidated some of last week's decline. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Monday. Despite Friday's rally, stochastics and the RSI remain bearish signalling that sideways to lower priced are possible near-term. If it extends last week's decline, March's low crossing is the next downside target. Closes above Wednesday's high crossing would signal that a short-term low has been posted.
