Base Metal Outlook

• MCX copper and aluminium prices marched higher on Thursday on worries that stoppages due to high energy prices or other disruptions will spur shortages

• Further, European smelters are estimated to have cut an annualised 800,000 to 900,000 tonnes of aluminium production since energy prices began to rise last year

• We expect copper prices to trade with a positive bias for the day amid concerns over output cuts in Europe. Hence, the potential is high for a move higher in base metals prices
