Precious metals prices are trading firm today. Any positive data reported will support the dollar thus, leading to a further profit-taking in precious metals prices. Base metals prices are trading higher today. We do not expect any major rise in the prices of base metals as near term demand from major developed and developing nations is still not encouraging. Crude oil prices are trading firm today. We expect crude oil prices to seek direction after the release of the Non-farm payrolls data to be released by the US later in the session.
