Commodities Daily - March 7, 2019

> Oil ticks higher, as refined product stock draw in US offsets crude build. Today, market players will eye the ECB decision, eurozone GDP and US jobless claims. On Friday, US nonfarm payrolls will be on the radar. We think that Brent will remain in its current $65-67/bbl range for the rest of this week, as none of the aforementioned releases, in our view, are likely to be strong enough to move it out of this corridor.> Gold steady ahead of likely pressure from ECB. The ECB meeting, rate decision (at 15:45 Moscow time) and press conference led by Mario Draghi (16:30) will be key today. We maintain the view that both the ECB monetary policy meeting today and the US nonfarm payrolls data on Friday are likely to lead to the dollar strengthening against DM currencies, with EUR/USD moving to 1.125 today and possibly lower tomorrow. However, we still see strong support for gold at $1,280/oz and do not expect it to break below that today.
