BULLION

Gold and silver prices dip; US equity markets rebound after strong consumer confidence data. Trend volatile.

Review

On Tuesday, gold and silver prices settled on a weaker note in international markets. Gold February futures settled at $1,569.80 per troy ounce, down by 0.48%, while silver March futures settled at $17.46 per troy ounce, down by 3.32%. Domestic markets also settled on a weaker note. Gold settled at Rs40,242 per 10 grams with a loss of 0.85%, and silver settled at Rs45,474 per kilogram with a loss of 3.26%. Gold prices corrected from a three-week high on Tuesday, and silver was badly hammered after strong US Richmond Manufacturing Index and consumer confidence data. US equity markets rebounded and the dollar index also gained after strong consumer confidence data. Ahead of the Fed meeting, we expect prices of both precious metals to remain volatile and test their next support levels. Gold has support at $1,562–1,555 and resistance at $1,574–1,584. Silver has support at $17.30–17.20, while resistance is at $17.55–17.70.

ENERGY

Crude oil prices rebound due to short covering and lower inventory expectations. Trend volatile.

Review

On Tuesday, crude oil settled on a slightly positive note in the international markets as WTI crude settled at $53.48 per barrel, while Brent settled at $59.55 per barrel. Domestic markets also settled on a positive note at Rs3,808 per barrel with a gain of 0.66%. Crude oil rebounded on Tuesday from its crucial support level of $52 per barrel in international markets. Prices rebounded due to short covering and expectations of lower US weekly inventory data. Stockpiles of US crude fell sharply last week, industry group the American Petroleum Institute (API) said Tuesday. Oil inventories posted a drop of 4.3 million barrels for the week ended January 24, API said, as compared to the build of 1.6 million barrels reported last week. The US EIA will release weekly inventory data today. Crude oil prices also got support from strong US Richmond Manufacturing Index and consumer confidence data released on Tuesday. We expect crude oil prices to remain volatile and hold the key support of $52 per barrel. Crude oil has support at $52.80–52.40 and resistance at $54.00–54.60.

BASE METALS

Base metals show volatility ahead of US Federal Reserve meeting. Trend volatile

Review

On Tuesday, base metals settled on a mixed note in international markets. 3M LME copper settled at $5,701.25 per metric ton with a loss of 0.81% from the previous close. Base metal prices witnessed volatility on Tuesday and saw some short covering in early trading sessions, but strength in the dollar index and coronavirus fears again put pressure on the prices. Strong US Richmond Manufacturing Index and consumer confidence data were also unable to lift base metal prices up. Ahead of the US Federal Reserve meeting, we expect prices to remain volatile. Today, copper has support in the range of Rs427–422, while resistance is at Rs438–442. Nickel should trade in the range of Rs918–948, zinc should trade in the range of Rs177–181, lead should trade in the range of Rs147–151, and aluminium should trade in the range of Rs139–142.

AGRI COMMODITIES

Edible oil and oil seeds witness strong volatility; BMD crashes by a record 10% in a single day. Trend volatile.

Review

On Tuesday, agricultural commodities witnessed very high volatility due to coronavirus fears and volatility in international markets. The death toll from the virus continued to rise in China, as the virus also spreads to other parts of the world. Due to strength in the dollar index, agricultural commodities traded under pressure. Bursa Malaysia KLC crashed by a record 10% in single day. Edible oil and oil seed futures witnessed very high volatility at NCDEX after the government refused to reduce import duty on edible oils. Soybean February futures settled on a slightly positive note in domestic markets at Rs4,042 per quintal with a gain of 0.90%. CBOT settled at 895 cents. Other agricultural commodities settled on a mixed note at NCDEX. Chana March futures settled with a gain of 0.64%, and castor seed futures settled with a gain of 0.05%. RM seed closed with a gain of 0.41%. Guar seed settled with a loss of 1.24%, and guar gum settled with a loss of 1.27%. The spices pack settled on a mixed note; coriander settled positive, while jeera and turmeric settled negative. Cotton seed oilcake February futures closed negative with a loss of 2.11%. Refined soy oil February futures closed positive at Rs855.60. We expect refined soy oil to trade in the range of Rs842–868.
