Precious metals are trading higher on COMEX today. We expect prices to trade higher for the day, recovering from a more than two-week low hit in the previous session, on the back of a slightly weaker dollar.

Industrial metals are trading higher on International bourses today. We expect prices to trade higher for the day, with the weaker U.S. dollar prompting investors to buy into copper contracts on the London Metal Exchange (LME).

Crude oil is trading higher on NYMEX today. We expect prices to trade higher for the day, getting support from a decline in oil exports from OPEC's second-biggest producer Iraq and a projected extended fall in U.S. commercial oil stocks.

Oil exports from southern Iraq have fallen by 110,000 barrels per day this month, according to shipping data and an industry source, adding to the drop in flows from OPEC's second-largest producer caused by a shortfall from the northern Kirkuk fields.
