The slide continues early Friday for the latter, but the former remains on standby off the local high at $1835/oz as participants turn to the Nonfarm payrolls.

Meanwhile, Challenger job cuts for Jan-Feb hit the highest level since 2009. The combination of events sent the 2-year treasury yield below 5.0% and the dollar index 0.33% down. Cable rose 0.65% to 1.1920 as a result due to recent sensitivity on yield-differentials speculation and has formed local support at $1.19.


EIA Weekly Inventories Fall More Than Expected


US natural gas storage saw a drawdown of 84B cf compared to expectations of 79-81B, as colder weather persisted in the north and western areas of the country. This follows an upbeat week for WTI stockpiles, with crude and gas prices down for the day, as the initial spike was reversed in the aftermath of the SVB story. WTI lost 3.20% from Thursday’s peak at $78/bbl, and natural gas closed the session 4.13% lower to $2.54/cf. The following support levels are $74.50/bbl and $2.46/cf.


BOJ Leaves Policy Unchanged, As Expected


BOJ sets the reference rate at -0.1%, as anticipated, with no changes to the band of YCC. Japan’s PPI came in lower than expected at -0.4% compared to the -0.3% forecast, and the annual rate of 8.2% was the lowest since October 2021. USD/JPY was down 0.86% on Thursday, and it is currently near resistance at 137.00 as it recovers from a low of 136.12. 137.30 might be next, should the rally continue.
