Financial markets retreated in Asia Monday as driven by disappointing US GDP and Fitch's downgrades of credit ratings of several Eurozone countries including Italy and Spain. The situation in Greece remained uncertain. The EU/IMF/ECB troika was unsatisfied with Greece's progress in budget reduction and warned that further funding might be withheld should the country fail to improve efficiency. A FT report stated that Germany required Greece to give up control over its fiscal decision.

Gold's rally from 1523.9 extended further as expected and reached as high as 1739.8. As noted before, whole correction from 1923.7 might be finished with three waves down to 1523.9 already. Initial bias remains on the upside 1804.4 resistance first. Break will confirm this bullish case and target 1923.7 and above. On the downside, break of 1649.2 support is needed to signal short term topping. Otherwise, near term outlook will remain cautiously bullish even in case of retreat.

Crude oil struggled in tight range around 100 psychological level last week. With 102.06 resistance intact, deeper decline is still mildly in favor to 100% projection of 103.74 to 97.70 from 102.06 at 96.02 and below. Though, we'd expect strong support from 92.52 cluster support (38.2% retracement of 74.95 to 103.74 at 92.74). to contain downside and bring rebound. On the upside, above 102.06 will bring retest of 103.74 resistance.

Natural gas drew strong support from medium term falling channel and formed a short term bottom at 2.231 and rebounded. Further rise will remain mildly in favor initially this week, possibly to 55 days EMA at 3.074. But upside is expected to be limited by 3.12 cluster resistance (61.8% retracement of 3.689 to 2.231 at 3.132) and bring down trend resumption. Below 2.512 minor support will flip bias back to the downside for retesting 2.231 low first.
