COMMODITY MARKET TRENDS 17 April 2014

BASE METAL WRAP: 
Nickel extended gains after surpassing $18,000 a metric ton for the first time in more than a year as the threat of sanctions against Russia and Indonesia’s ore export ban continued to stoke supply concerns.

ENERGY WRAP: 
West Texas Intermediate rose for a second day as concern over the escalating crisis in Ukraine outweighed data showing the biggest gain in U.S. crude supplies in more than a decade. Brent was steady in London.

PRECIOUS METAL WRAP: 
Gold was above $1,300 an ounce, set for a weekly drop, as investors weighed signs of an improving U.S. economy against tension in Ukraine. Assets in the largest gold-backed exchange-traded product sank the most this year.

GLOBAL EVENTS TO WATCH
BOJ Gov Kuroda Speaks, Core CPI m/m, Unemployment Claims, Philly Fed Manufacturing Index, Natural Gas Storage.
