weekly drop, underscoring the bearishness in the market.

Oil prices are trading higher today with Brent and WTI gaining by
0.41 and 0.65 percent respectively. On the supply side, data
suggested an increasing glut as a U.S. report showed crude
inventories unexpectedly rose by 7.3 million barrels last week to
their highest December level on record. Analysts had expected a
seasonal draw. MCX oil futures are trading higher by 2 percent at
Rs.3617/bbl.

Commodities Evening Update
Friday, December 26, 2014
International Commodities
Outlook
Volatility will remain high as traders will maximize opportunity to cash in the thin trade today as most of the traders will be at
bay. Although the fundamentals of the commodity remain bearish, weakness in the dollar index will also act as a positive
factor for prices.
Major fundamentals in crude remain bearish with markets oversupplies from the OPEC as well as from the US. Bargain
hunting at lower levels will act as a positive factor.
In the Indian markets, base metals will trade lower today owing to persistent global tensions although sharp movement
would be restricted as major global markets remain closed today on the eve of Boxing Day holiday and Rupee depreciation.
