watch GOLD EASES FROM RECORD HIGH AFTER CME MARGIN HIKE
peaks of 1980 and the 1930s, and Gold is still below its inflationadjusted record near $2,500. Gold eased on Thursday from the session's record highs after the CME Group raised margins on COMEX Gold futures, but turmoil in the global financial markets and fears of slower growth buoyed sentiment. Spot Gold hit an all-time high of $1,813.79, and U.S. Gold GCcv1 rose to a record high of $1,817.6 early in the day. Both eased after the CME Group raised margins on U.S. Gold futures by 22.2 percent, driving spot Gold down to $1,787.61 an ounce by 0624 GMT, off 0.4 percent from the previous close. U.S. Gold traded up 0.3 percent at $1,789.90. Gold has proven too much of an attraction as an alternative investment and the margins may not have as much influence. On the relative strength index, spot Gold fell to 82.7, suggesting a heavily overbought market, although the index was off its earlier level near 86, the highest since October 2010. The rapid rise in prices has prompted concern of a price retracement. Gold's safe-haven allure has attracted investors fleeing the risk of debt crisis contagion in Europe and slowing global growth. Prices of cash Gold have risen as much as 21 percent since the end of June. Stock market woes have helped push Gold's ratio to the S&P-500 stock index to its highest since 1988. But that ratio remains far below its

U.S. Crude oil futures ended lower on Friday and snapped two days of gains as a slump in consumer confidence reversed an early rally spurred by a jump in July retail sales. Crude futures also closed the week lower, down for the third straight week, as the consumer confidence data added to fears that the economy may slide back into recession after last week's U.S. credit downgrade. Prices rose early after data showed U.S. retail sales rose in July to the highest level since March. Oil markets tracked Wall Street, which rose on the retail sales data but fell back on the consumer pulse report, though in late trading share prices managed to eke out small gains. FUNDAMENTALS

COPPER POSTS 2ND STRAIGHT WEEKLY LOSS, TIN RALLIES

benchmark Copper eased $16 to end at $8,865 a tonne, but managed to claw back from a weekly trough at $8,446.25, it's lowest since early December of last year. In New York, the key September COMEX contract eked out a 0.35-cent gain to settle at $4.0120 per lb, supported by a firmer tone in equity markets and mildly encouraging retail sales in July, which helped to offset the weak consumer sentiment data. A slowdown in China rail investments, reports that China is cutting its target for the construction of public homes and the general impact of its tightening measures have all fueled concerns about the outlook for metals demand.

FOMC Member Dudley Speaks

London Copper prices ended a shade lower on Friday as global economic growth fears lingered and Chinese demand prospects remained unclear, but Copper in New York crept up with equities to end less than a penny higher from the previous session. With investors still worried about the global economy, losses stretched across the base metals complex, continuing the overwhelmingly bearish broader market tone over the past two weeks. The exception was tin, which rallied as much as 5 percent at one point during the session on worries about restricted supplies from Indonesia, the world's largest exporter. Copper posted its first back-to-back weekly decline since early June, with total weekly trading volumes in New York up near their lateFebruary record of 319,000 lots. Despite the global economic turmoil, Diego Hernandez, the chief executive of Chile's giant Copper miner Codelco, remained "optimistic" that Copper prices will remain at current levels until year-end, eyeing an uptick in second-half Chinese Copper cathode imports. Looking ahead into the coming week, metals are likely to remain tied to fluctuations in equities markets and could be affected by a stream of U.S. housing data. Short-term direction is likely to be muddied by thin trading during widespread holidays in most of mainland Europe on Monday. London Metal Exchange (LME)
