Copper Further Sublimes As Rupee Recovers Ahead of Budget

Copper...


Mr Finance Minister will be presenting the Union Budget. All eyes are set on the proposals from Mr Chidambaram. The commodities will be hoping that there is no transaction tax imposed on it. The anxiety is high and height of it is making Rupee recover against its rival US Dollar. Internal factors have upper hand at the moment as markets will digest only reform friendly budget that will further underpin Rupee from current levels of 53.69, up 0.32% ahead of the budget. Copper sublimed further on MCX as pressure continued even as LME Copper forwards showed recovery.

The metal breathed easy after assistance from Federal Reserve that the bond buying will continue. Copper is seen trading at $ 7904 per tonne on Thursday.
