International Commodities
Energy Crude Oil
Crude oil prices came under pressure on Monday as expectations of no major military action on Syria led to pressure on prices. US Secretary of State John Kerry suggested that instead of military action, Syria could hand over the chemical weapons. This move was also supported by Russia and taking cues from the same, crude oil prices slipped as this would reduce the risk of geopolitical tensions spreading to other Middle East nations. The near-month Nymex crude oil contract declined around 0.9 percent to close at Rs.109.5/bbl. The delay in decision-making making towards the Syrian crisis also led to sharp downside pressure on Brent crude oil prices, which declined around 2 percent, marking losses higher than the decline seen in Nymex oil prices. Another factor that at added pressure on oil prices was the news that oil production in Libya had bounced back to 600,000 barrels per day due to start-up up of facilities at all oil fields. Export terminals are also expected to be open by the middle of the next week, thus overal overall reducing the fear of supply disruption from the country. MCX crude declined by around 1.7 percent to close at Rs.7056/bbl on account of appreciation in the Rupee. Outlook On the back of slow progress towards actions against Syria and due to expectations that no major military action will happen in the immediate-term, term, oil prices are likely to witness downside pressure in todays trading session. Also, restart of oil producing facilities in Libya has also reduced supply threats from the country and this factor will be additionally negative for prices.

Copper
LME Copper prices gained 0.6 percent yesterday yesterday, mainly taking positive cues from upbeat economic data from China and weakness in the DX. Further, upbeat pbeat global market sentiments and 0.9 percent decline in inventories, which stood at 5,94,625 tonnes tonnes, also supported an upside in prices. The red metal touched an intraday high of $7243/tonne and closed at $7205/tonne on Mon Monday. In the Indian markets, the MCX near-month copper contract declined by 0.2 percent due to Rupee appreciation. The metal closed at Rs.473.4/kg in yesterdays trading session. In the last week, LME Copper declined by 0.5 percent due to ongoing military tensions between the US and Syria and a 2 percent weekly gain in LME inventories. Outlook In todays session, we expect base metals prices to trade on a positive note on the back of weakness in the DX and expectations of positive economic data from China. However, in n the Indian markets, appreciation in the Rupee will prevent sharp gains in prices on the MCX.
