Base Metals continue to trade range bound; May decline in the evening
Base Metals are trading steady from opening today and is expected to trade lower in the evening session. With the exception of Copper
which is higher by 0.14%, the rest of the metals are trading lower by about half a percent.
The recent strength in Copper was triggered by an earthquake in Chile which spurred fears of a production shutdown and supply shortages
in China ahead of the peak demand season. China banned imports of scrap copper in July-August which is expected to create a domestic
supply crunch in the worlds largest consumer of base metals.
The dropping inventory levels across LME and SHFE have also been supportive of prices. Zinc is increasingly coming under the threat of a
potential correction even though the fundamentals remain strong.
Oil prices have been struggling recently after the recent hurricane Nate shut down almost 100% of the refining capacity in the Gulf of Mexico
region over the weekend. Refining demand has been one the key drivers for crude oil in the recent few months and the shutdown of refining
capacity is likely to drive prices lower in the short term.
The fundamentals continue to improve as the recent data points indicate in the form of dropping US production and oil rig counts along with
reports suggesting that Saudi might cut down its exports into the global market in the near future in a commitment to stick to output quotas.
The focus will shift to the weekly petroleum status report tomorrow which may see crude inventories build further as a result of the hurricane.
