MARKET RECAP


Crude oil prices gained around 1.8% on the Nymex and more than 2.3% on the MCX last week. Oil prices hit an intra-day high of $75.59/bbl on Friday before closing at $75.17/bbl.

 


OUTLOOK


Crude oil prices will take cues from the movement in the DX today. We expect DX to trade with the negative bias today and this factor will act as a supportive factor for the crude oil prices today. However, sharp gains in crude oil prices may not be witnessed as the latest GDP figures of the US indicate slowdown. This may raise concerns over demand for the commodity.


Natural gas prices will take cues from crude oil prices today.
