Buy Natural Gas Sep Fut at 187-188 SL 182.8 Target 199 - HDFC Securities
Gold steadied in Asian trading hours on Thursday after a small decline in the previous session following a report that showed underlying US inflation picked up in August, weakening expectations for an outsized interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve next week.
US data showed the core consumer price index climbed 0.3% from July and 3.2% from a year ago. Treasury yields pushed higher, while the dollar pared early losses following the print. Swap traders now nearly erased bets on a jumbo rate cut by the US central bank this month.
Crude oil gained more than 2.0% on Wednesday as Hurricane Francine hit crudeproducing regions in the Gulf of Mexico, and traders looked ahead to market insights from the International Energy Agency. Hurricane Francine, which made landfall in Louisiana on Wednesday night, has forced the shut-in of about 670,000 barrels a day of production.
Natural gas prices rose in anticipation of warmer US temperatures, which will boost natural gas demand from electricity providers to run air conditioning.
Copper and other base metals pared earlier gains after underlying US inflation unexpectedly picked up in August, undercutting the chances of an outsize Federal Reserve interest rate cut next week.
Following a tech-fueled rally on Wall Street, Asian stocks rebounded in early trading. The Nikkei 225 surged almost 3%, rising for the first time in eight days.
