MARKET RECAP

 

Crude Oil prices gained marginally on Monday and closed at $81.78/bbl as the dollar ended the session on a flat note. Crude oil prices gained last week amid strong economic data from US which increased investor expectations that the fuel consumption may increase in the world’s largest consumer.

 


OUTLOOK

 

Crude oil prices will take cues from the movement in the dollar today. The dollar is expected to strengthen on concerns in Eurozone. Moreover, concerns of rising inventories in the world’s largest consumer may also put pressure on the prices.

 

Support for NYMEX April Crude Oil is seen at $80.80/$78.80 levels & resistance at $82.50/$83.20 levels.
