MARKET RECAP

 

Crude oil prices traded in the negative territory on Monday taking cues from the strength in the dollar coupled with concerns of rising inventories with the major consumers. Nymex crude oil prices touched a low of $79.13 yesterday.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Today, crude oil prices would continue to trade with a negative bias facing pressure from the strong dollar. However, the crude oil inventories data from the US energy department and the OPEC meeting tomorrow may provide further direction to the prices.


Support for NYMEX April Crude Oil is seen at $78.80/$77.90 levels & resistance at $80.10/$81.00 levels.
