International Commodities
Outlook In the evening session, we expect precious metal, base metals and crude oil prices to trade on the positive note on the back of expectation of favourable economic data from US coupled with weakness in DX. Further, positive manufacturing data from china and rise in retail sales data from UK will support prices to trade on higher side. However, unfavourable economic data from Europe coupled with expectation of rise in initial jobless claims data from US will prevent sharp gains in prices or even reversal in prices.
