USDINR (MAY FUTURE)
Currency 9th May 2019 USDINR May Future

Dollar/rupee jumped towards one-week high and gained 0.33% yesterday supported by buying activities by nationalized banks likely on behalf of oil importers amid lingering risk woes around the US-China trade tiff, which has increased safe haven demand for the dollar. Australian dollar surged as the Reserve Bank of Australia kept its key official cash rate at its record low of 1.50% at Wednesday's review, thwarting expectations of a further cut. Local stocks ended at two month lows as uncertainty surrounding US-China trade war.

Technical, On the EOD chart, USDINR has breached its immediate resistance 69.75 and tested day high 69.9225. Formation of long bullish candle stick and recent breakout is creating probability for upside move towards 70.20 and above. On the downside, crucial support is seen at 69.45-69.20.

Labour Party made the entry into a customs union as a red line, and according to reports, the Government is yet to move on the matter.

Gold and silver prices lose its early gain after U.S. equity and dollar index recovered from lows. Gold is also test key resistance of $1292 in international markets but unable to hold above $1292 and slide again after sharp gain in dollar index. Looking to the slowdown in Chinese economy and rising trade tensions between US-China we expect gold prices will hold its support levels of $1266 and will show strength in coming sessions. Gold is having support at $1274-1266 and resistance at $1288-1292. Silver is having support at $14.70-14.55 while resistance at $15-15.15. TECHNICAL OUTLOOK Today, Gold is having support at 31588-31492 while resistance at 31853-32022, silver is having support at 37285-37167 and resistance at 37595-37787. Traders are suggested to trade in a range with strict stop loss.   ENERGY Crude oil gain on lower U.S. inventory; trade tensions will limits gain. Trend volatile. Review Yesterday, Crude oil prices gain in international market WTI Crude settled at $62.12 while Brent settled at $70.24 per barrel. At MCX Crude oil settled positive at 4334 per barrel with the gain of 1.64%. We have clearly mentioned in our yesterday’s report as crude oil can test resistance of $62.50, crude oil prices gain on surprisingly lower U.S. weekly crude oil inventory. The EIA said in its regular weekly report that crude oil inventories slumped by nearly 4 million barrels in the week to May 3, versus forecasts for a build of 1.2 million barrels. Crude stockpiles had risen by a net of nearly 30 million barrels in five earlier weeks, and oil bears had expected the trend to continue. After U.S. weekly inventory data U.S. is announced to increase tariff on $200 billion Chinese imports from 10% to 25% with effect from 10th May. After this news crude oil again came in pressure as due to escalation of trade war between world’s two biggest economies will affect demand of crude oil in coming days. We expect crude oil to trade in a range of $58.80-$62.50 Crude oil is having support at $61.50-60.80 and resistance at $62.50-62.80. TECHNICAL OUTLOOK Crude oil is having support at 4275-4217 while resistance at 4371-4409, trades are suggested to trade in a range with strict stop loss.   BASE METALBase metals slips; Copper near three months low on US-China trade war. Trend volatile. ReviewYesterday, base metal prices settled mixed in international market. 3M LME copper settled at $6135 per metric ton down by 0.37% from previous close. Copper fell to a near three-month low on Wednesday on concerns over a potential resumption of tit-for-tat trade tariffs between the United States and China ahead of last-ditch negotiations. U.S. announced to increase tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods on Friday has raised the risk of an escalation in the spat between Washington and Beijing. This could further slow the global economy, while clouding the outlook for demand from top metals consumer China. The two sides will hold last-ditch talks in Washington on Thursday and Friday. We expect looking to the trade tensions between US-China and rising dollar index will affect base metals and it is expected to remain volatile during today’s session. Today, Copper is having support around 427-424 while resistance at 434-438. Nickel will trade in a range of 820-848, Zinc will trade in a range of 210-218, and Lead will trade in a range of 128-133 while Aluminium trade in a range of 144-149.TECHNICAL OUTLOOK Copper is having support at 427 and 424 while resistance at 434 and 438, traders are suggested to trade as per levels with strict stop loss. AGRI COMMODITYHigher Chinese import supports soybean prices; trade war will limits gain. Trend volatile. ReviewYesterday, Soybean settled positive in domestic markets at 3695 per quintal with the gain of 1.29%. CBOT were settled at 825. Soybean prices shows strength in yesterday’s trade as Chinese soybean import rises by 10% in the month of April against previous year. Major boost seen in Chinese imports due to lowering VAT from the month of April this year and some shipments were shifted from March to April. We expect after U.S. announce higher tariff on Chinese imports from 10th May, again global commodity prices will show weakness in coming days. Investors are suggested to book profit in soybean in the range of 3700-3740. Other Agriculture commodities at NCDEX shows mixed trend, Chana settled with the gain of 0.30%, Castor seed settled negative with the loss of 1.13%. RM Seed closed positive with the gain of 0.82%.
