Bullion Outlook
Metal’s Outlook
* Spot gold is expected to hold its ground near $2300 and rise towards $2345 on increasing bets that the Federal reserve will start reducing interest rates this year. Moderation in US consumer spending along with rising continuous claims would push the Fed to lower its rates. Further, expectation of weaker JOLTs job opening reports would also support the bullions to trade higher. Meanwhile, focus will remain on Fed chair’s speech which could bring more clarity in its direction.
* MCX Gold Aug is expected to hold the key support near 71,200 and move back towards 72,000. Formation of bullish engulfing pattern on the daily charts would help the metal to regain its strength. Only close below 70,800, it would weaken towards 70,200.

* Aluminum is expected to trade weak and move towards 228, as long as it remains under 233 mark. Increasing production from China and higher LME inventory would check its upside.
Energy Outlook
* NYMEX Crude oil is expected to rise further towards $85 mark amid rise in demand over the summer driving season in US. Further, increasing geopolitical tension in the Middle east would hurt global supplies. A decrease in crude oil production in June by OPEC would support the prices. Further, expectation of lower production from US ahead of the hurricane season would support its gains. Meanwhile, focus will remain on US Jolts job opening numbers and speech from the Fed chair Powell which could give further clarity on timing of rate cut.
