Commodity trading strategies

As the risks surrounding Covid-19 diminish with the introduction of vaccines, the growing demand for crude oil raises the problem of restarting "buy-in" deals. Some agricultural products also present great income opportunities. Here are 10 commodities that analysts believe may have returns of up to 8 percent this week:

Gold | Sell | Target: Rs 48,000| Disadvantage: 2%

MCX gold prices have been trading in a consolidation range for the past few days. The moving average crossover on the daily chart prevents prices from breaking past recent highs. The Rs 49,900 level will be a major resistance on a close base. Prices are likely to remain bearish as long as they do not cross this level at the close. It is recommended to "go short" gold (February) in the range of Rs 49,200-49,300 for a target of Rs 48,500-48,000 with a stop loss above Rs 49,900.
