Precious Metals 
Precious metals are likely to open flat as Jerome Powell was announced as the next Fed Chairman as expected. Powell is a centrist and his polices are unlikely to be radically different than those of the current Fed Chair Janet Yellen. The other important event out of the US was the introduction of the new tax bill which again provided no major surprises. The corporate tax rate is likely to be cut to 20% from 35% and the proposal includes doubling the standard deduction for individuals and families, capping the deduction for state and local property taxes and maintaining the current tax treatment of 401(k) and retirement pension plans

Base Metals 
Base metals traded firm across board with nickel posting its biggest two-day jump in more than three years, zinc hit its highest in decade and aluminium matched last week's five-year peak. Nickel has been on tear surging by around 10% over last 3 days on expectations that demand would be boosted by a rise in electric car buying, while zinc hit its highest since August 2007 on deficit expectations. 

Energy 
Crude oil prices are likely to stay firm as optimism remains high amid expectations that OPEC cuts could be extended for another nine months. Discussion about it will happen in OPEC meeting later this month. Oil prices have jumped in last couple of weeks as OPEC output dropped in Oct and compliance to cuts increased.
