COMMODITIES EVENING NOTE
Commodity Overview
October 23, 2012
Gold edged lower after equities gave up early gains today, although demand from jewelers helped prices rebound
from their lowest in more than a month as investors waited on the results of a U.S. Federal Reserve meeting.
Crude oil prices were pressured by expectations that U.S. oil inventories likely rose for the third straight week as
imports recovered. But oil's downside was checked by supply outages and the potential for disruption.
Copper fell to fresh six-week lows as investors played safe ahead of a U.S. Federal Reserve policy meeting, while
awaiting China's next policy moves. Investors are expected to stick to safe plays until after the Fed's two-day meeting
which begins on Tuesday.
