Gold:-

 US Fed Chair Janet Yellen said last week that the central bank was poised to lift benchmark US rates provided jobs and inflation data held up, comments seen as cementing plans for an increase at the Fed's March 14-15 meeting.  Early last week, financial markets saw just a 30 percent chance of the Fed raising interest rates in March; but by Friday after a striking series of comments from Fed officials, traders saw an 80 percent chance.

Silver:-

Silver prices moved lower as growing expectations for a March rate hike in the U.S. and a stronger U.S. dollar continued to weigh on the precious metal. The greenback remained broadly supported after a number of Federal Reserve officials this week expressed their support for a March rate hike. Fed Chair Janet Yellen added her influential voice, saying a hike this month would be "appropriate" if economic data hold up.  Silver dropped amid rise in dollar and markets priced in the increased possibility the U.S.  Central bank would rise interest rates this month

Crude:-

Crude's wavering comes after prices failed to rise this week despite the EIA report that showed a surprise drop in U.S. stockpiles last week, but the drawdown was too small to entice a rally in prices. On the other hand, Saudi oil minister Khalid Al Fallfish’s statements yesterday failed to underpin prices after saying OPEC might continue to cooperate with other producers to cut output after the June deadline if global inventories didn't fall. China's exports for January and February combined rose 4.0 percent from the same period last year, while imports surged 26.4 percent, suggesting there has been solid improvement in demand at home and abroad despite any holiday distortions.
