Throughout the previous days commodities have plummeted across the board mainly due to US dollar strength. The news from the International Energy Agency, that it will inject into the markets additional supply of oil to trim the high prices have weighed on the black gold which lost almost 2.5 Dollars since Friday to hit a low of 89.82 US Dollars per barrel. The last few hours oil has slightly appreciated as it is now trading at 90.55 US Dollars per barrel, having previously climbed up to 90.76 US Dollars per barrel. The gold has slipped spectacularly since Wednesday; however, the safe haven asset holds most of its gains as fears for default on the heavily indebted peripheral Euro zone economies still persist, increasing the appetite for less risky assets. The precious metal is now trading at 1500.69 USD an ounce, after falling to a six week low of 1490.93 USD per ounce. Similar course for silver which opened the European markets at a six week low of 33.51 USD an ounce, while now is trading half Dollar higher at 34.01 an ounce. Copper has suffered many loses today, after Chinese policymakers stated that they are ready to introduce a more tight monetary policy to constrain inflation within the central bank’s target. China is the world’s biggest copper importer.

What are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files. When you visit a website, the website sends the cookie to your computer. Your computer stores it in a file located inside your web browser.
Cookies do not transfer viruses or malware to your computer. Because the data in a cookie does not change when it travels back and forth, it has no way to affect how your computer runs, but they act more like logs (i.e. they record user activity and remember stateful information) and they get updated every time you visit a website.
We may obtain information about you by accessing cookies, sent by our website. Different types of cookies keep track of different activities. For example, session cookies are used only when a person is actively navigating a website. Once you leave the website, the session cookie disappears.
Why are cookies useful?
We use functional cookies to analyse how visitors use our website, as well as track and improve our website’s performance and function. This allows us to provide a high-quality customer experience by quickly identifying and fixing any issues that may arise. For example, we might use cookies to keep track of which website pages are most popular and which method of linking between website pages is most effective. The latter also helps us to track if you were referred to us by another website and improve our future advertising campaigns.
Another use of cookies is to store your log in sessions, meaning that when you log in to the Members Area to deposit funds, a "session cookie" is set so that the website remembers that you have already logged in. If the website did not set this cookie, you will be asked for your login and password on each new page as you progress through the funding process.
In addition, functional cookies, for example, are used to allow us to remember your preferences and identify you as a user, ensure your information is secure and operate more reliably and efficiently.
