COMMODITY MARKET UPDATE 13 JUNE 2014

BASE METAL WRAP:
Copper in London pared a third weekly loss, the longest streak since March, as some physical demand outweighed concerns that a warehousing probe at China’s Qingdao port will curb demand for the metal.
ENERGY WRAP:
West Texas Intermediate crude headed for the biggest weekly advance, and Brent gained as escalating violence in Iraq threatened supplies from OPEC’s second-largest oil producer. Natural gas futures climbed the most in almost four months, reaching a five-week high, after a government report showed that a U.S. stockpile expansion was smaller than forecast.
PRECIOUS METAL WRAP:
Gold rose to a two-week high on demand for a haven. U.S. recovery may be stalling and violence in Iraq will escalate boosted demand for a haven. Gold advanced as equity markets declined, Platinum rose 0.5 percent to $1,451.38 an ounce, Silver rose as much as 0.5 percent to $19.6323 an ounce.
