MCX Gold, Silver, Copper, Crude Oil Updates Today 26 Feb. 2013


Bullion: Gold futures were up on domestic exchanges tracking rise in international prices, but a firm rupee against the dollar limited the gains. On COMEX, gold futures rose due to weakness in the dollar against the euro and on bargain buying after the recent fall in prices. 

Metals: Base metal futures on MCX were trading lower tracking firm rupee against the dollar, but mild upward correction in benchmark contracts on London Metal Exchange limited losses. LME contracts moved higher today on bargain buying, but demand concerns and release of discouraging Chinese manufacturing Purchasing Manager's Index data capped gains.

Energy: Domestic crude oil futures were trading lower tracking New York Mercantile Exchange and also due to appreciation in rupee against the dollar. China, the worlds second-biggest oil consumer after the U.S., and the engine for oil-demand growth, is sending mixed signals. China's crude oil imports rose in January by a healthy 7.4% from a year earlier, but early indications show manufacturing activity dropped in February to a level that barely indicates a growing economy.
