The short-term bias in base metals is negative. Prices have come under pressure from both weaker data from China as well as an oversaturated
speculative market which even though was driven by strong fundamentals continue to remain overpriced in the short term.
Traders should be cautious of the ongoing volatility and weakening correlation between the group metals. We could advise considering short
selling base metals higher on rallies today.
Copper faces the next set of resistance at 445 breaking which another attempt at 448-50 is expected this week whereas, on the downside, a
breakdown below 438 should see the downtrend resume for price objectives at 430-25 in the next few trading sessions.
Crude Oil extends losses as doubts raised over OPECs resolve to cut production
Crude Oil is also trading with a neutral-positive bias in intraday. MCX Crude is trading at 3609, down 12 points or 0.33%.
Crude Oil dropped recently after market participants raised concerns over OPECs resolve to extend production cuts beyond March 2018 when
the cartel meet on November 30. This comes after Russia raised doubts that the OPEC has no concrete plan on how to reduce output and
would possibly extend the decision into next year.
The recent uptrend in prices has been largely supported by falling US inventories along with OPECs increasing compliance to production quotas.
The market fundamentals continue to remain supported but a short-term correction in prices is expected we feel prices may decline to 3550-
3500 and consolidate at lower ranges before further momentum for an upside can be built.
