Base Metals may decline further, Crude Oil to remain volatile focus on API report
Base Metals are trading with a negative bias with Zinc and Lead losing the most, down 1.73% and 1.20% respectively. Copper is trading at
Rs.441.55, down 1.50 or 0.34%.
The intraday bias on base metals is negative and we expect a minor correction in prices in the evening session. Copper finds strong support
at Rs.441 breaking which prices may decline to Rs.438-Rs.436 today whereas on the upside, sustained trading above Rs.443 may see prices
move higher later in the evening. Nickel is expected to rally further if it breaks resistance at Rs.718 with our short-term price objectives at
Rs.725-Rs.730.
Crude Oil is trading at Rs.3,322, down 9 points or 0.27% currently. The intraday bias is currently neutral and prices are seen testing support
at Rs.3320 and we feel a sustained trade below this level could trigger another round of profit booking in the commodity.
In the short term, the trend remains positive given the strong sentiment in the market and a daily close resistance at Rs.3360 should trigger
an upside to oils previous highs at Rs.3450 in the next few trading sessions.
