Crude –Daily Chart

Crude Oil (Rs/Bbl): Crude oil prices have hit fresh swing lows of 2732. Sharp intraday spike towards 2770/2800 levels cannot be ruled out in the counter but selling at higher levels can drag prices lower again.

Natural Gas –Daily Chart

Natural Gas (Rs./Mmbtu): Natural gas prices sold-off post the inventory data and the counter broke below support at 185 levels yesterday.

Copper –Daily Chart

Copper: Copper prices are consolidating in a tight range between 338 to 342 levels Prices need to decisively breakout above 342 to move higher towards 344 levels.

Until then dips will find buying support and prices will rebound higher.

Zinc –Daily Chart

 Zinc: We reiterate our positive outlook on zinc until prices stay above 118 levels. Until then intraday dips will find buying support. Sustenance above 120 will see prices move higher towards 120.60/121 levels Next major resistance for the counter is seen between 121.55-122 areas.

Lead: Lead prices will remain positive until prices stay above 112 levels today. Until then traders must use intraday dip towards 113-112.50 levels to go long in the counter. Prices can re-test 114.45 levels. A break out above 114.50 will see prices advance higher towards 115.251115.55 levels. A daily close below 112 will be negative for Lead.
