Analysis and Recommendations:
Silver added 0.293 to trade at 27.388 following on the heels of gold as industrial metals and precious metals witnessed gain on more positive attitudes. Base metals rose in LME as well as in Shanghai. LME copper gained the most in the base metal complex, rising around one per cent. Apart from an upbeat economic indicator from the US, expectation of aggressive monetary easing from China lifted prices. However, persisting worries over Euro Zone debt crisis capped gains.
Comments by the German Chancellor that the solution to the bloc’s problem was not yet in sight made investors to remain at guard. Tracking gains in the international market, base metal complex in MCX too edged higher.
With the US dollar weakened on poor eco data and negative comments from Fed Chairman Bernanke, silver was able to enjoy a weakness.
