Daily Commodity News Updates

Copper

MCX copper prices are predictable to trade in a range of Rs 420-Rs 470 for the month of April, SMC India states in a report. Financial concerns from Europe, economic data from the US and the movement of the US Dollar are expected to make copper prices volatile all through the month while Chinese copper consumption is expected to be the focus of investor inquiry.

The global supply of copper will reduce short of demand until the second half of 2013 as environmental and financing difficulties holdup new production plants. Project delays and unexpected production halts have maintained a five-year copper supply deficit of between 300,000 and 400,000 tones a year, or about 3 percent of the world's production, helping prices hit an all-time high early in 2011.

The supply distraction due to strike in mines along with positive economic data can add to the support for prices.

Crude oil

Some companies in the oil and gas business get extra appreciation in the market than they perhaps deserve. Others labor away building their assets and cash flow with little market acknowledgment.

Nynex crude oil prices declined by 1.2 percent yesterday on the back of the news that Iran has agreed to resume its nuclear talks with US and its allies that eased the supply worries.

Gold

While gold got a boost from a soft U.S. jobs report Friday, the data may not be a “game-changer” and the market will soon turn its attention to the next meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, said UBS in a daily commodity meeting.

Some of the industrial metals could come under pressure early in the second quarter before rising beyond into the future, said TD Securities in a daily research note.

Silver

Silver futures at MCX opened positive today because of Rupee weakness against US dollar. However,  spot Silver pressure continued as worries about reduction in manufacturing in both the Euro zone and China triggered a broad sell-off.

Silver May future at MCX is currently trading at Rs 56319, up by 0.03 percent. It touched an intra-day high of Rs 56417. At COMEX, spot silver traded around $ 31.522 per ounce, down by 0.34 percent.
