Commodity market outlook - Mr. Vivek Gupta- Director Research - CapitalVia Global Research Limited
Copper prices in COMEX moved down over poor US unemployment data and Durable Goods orders data. However, orders for long-lasting U.S. manufactured goods excluding transportation and a gauge of business spending unexpectedly rose in January. China's factory activity likely expanded only slightly in February. After unveiling the boldest set of economic and social reforms in nearly three decades, China's top leaders meet next week to discuss implementing the changes, but chances are they will play it safe. We expect Copper prices to remain down for the day as poor US data and poor demand from China.
Trend of MCX Copper April future is in consolidation and also sustaining around lower levels.
