International Commodities
Outlook In todays session we expect precious metals and crude oil prices to trade with a bearish note ahead of talks amongst the US law makers. However, base metals prices are expected to trade with a firm note due to hopes of rise in the demand from China due to positive industrial earnings indicating that the economy is on the path of recovery. Strength in the DX is expected to exert downside pressure on the commodities.
