COMMODITY MARKET NEWS

Precious metals are trading higher on COMEX today. We expect prices to trade range bound for the day as investors remained cautious ahead of the naming of the next U.S. Federal Reserve chair and ahead of a two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, both this week.

Industrial metals are trading higher on International bourses today. We expect prices to trade range bound for the day, not far from a two-week low hit in the previous session on persistent headwinds from a stronger dollar.

Crude oil is trading mix on NYMEX today. We expect prices to trade range bound for the day, with Brent remaining above $60 per barrel supported by expectations that an OPEC-led production cut due to expire next March would be extended.

Crude oil prices jumped about 2 percent on Friday, with global benchmark Brent crude rising above $60 per barrel, on support among the world's top producers for extending a deal to rein in output and as the dollar retreated from three-month peaks.
