The Dow has moved up on Friday and could rise towards 44500-45000 eventually, while downside can be limited to 43000 while the Dax has dipped with immediate resistance holding near 24260. A narrow trade between 24260 and 23500 can be possible in the near term. Trade tariff concerns may continue to weigh on the Indian markets, which could possibly push down Nifty towards 24000-23800 while below 24400. A bounce back above 24400 will be needed to prevent the said fall and instill some hopes of a rebound. Nikkei and Shanghai may continue to rise, targeting 43000 and 3700 in the near term.
Brent and WTI are both declining as expected, with further decline towards $64–$62 and $62–$60 respectively. Gold’s recent breakout above $3,500 appears false, and it could fall towards $3,350–$3,300 unless it regains bullish momentum. Silver may drop further if it breaks below $38, while Copper remains range-bound between $4.30–$4.50. Natural Gas has reversed earlier than anticipated and could decline towards $2.80.
