| MCX MARKET TIPS PROVIDERS |
Precious Metals
Precious Metals are likely to open flattish after a
steep selloff yesterday as equities advanced globally
owing to better risk sentiment. Donald Trump is due
to make his first speech at the UN today and his
comments will be closely watched in the current geopolitical
environment. Apart from that, Central bank
policies are back into focus as geo-political tensions
have eased in the past few days. The BOE last week
hinted that a rate hike may happen sooner than
markets expect. Earlier, the ECB indicated that its
stimulus unwinding plan could be out by October.
The Fed meeting this week will be equally important
for hints about the balance sheet trimming. The Fed
is likely to provide a timeline of its start and keep the
possibility of a December rate hike open.
Base Metals
Base metals retraced some of last week’s losses, with
zinc gaining the most backed by tighter Cash-3M
spread and prices have also heated up given
expectations that tighter mine supply will impede
production of refined metal. China’s August zinc
production fell 4.6%. China’s new home prices rose in
August at the slowest pace in seven months and fell in
more cities as government cooling measures
dampened speculation.
Energy
Crude oil is likely to open flat with WTI holding near
$50 levels. Some support to prices was seen as Shell
declared force majeure on exports of Nigeria’s Bonny
Light crude. US oil rig count fell for yet another week
and helped prices rally further. The number of active
rigs drilling for oil dropped by 7 to 749 last week, a
second straight decline. The rig count has fallen by 7
in Q3 so far after increasing sharply in the first half of
this year.
