Asian Metals Market Update for 26th February 2024

A fall in Core PCE inflation number will not translate into an early interest rate cut. Most broking houses and hedge fund managers globally are now expecting the first interest rate cut in the June/July Federal Reserve meeting. US February nonfarm payrolls is on 8th March. Preceding the US NFP, there are a lot of US economic data releases.

  • Crude (Nymex/WTI) has to trade over $73.00 in the next two weeks to be in a bullish zone.

  • 5th March and 6th March. ADP etc
  • 8th March. (February NFP)

A better way to make the most of the upcoming trading opportunities is
