Outlook for the new week ending November 24th, 2017

This week, we expect a level of profit taking to dictate activity on the Floor of the Exchange considering that the month of November will be wound up. This will give a number of portfolio managers, as well as traders an ample time to re-assess and rebalance their portfolio holdings. The recent positive economic data are equally expected to dictate activity direction going forward.

Major market outlook will be the OPEC and Non-OPEC meeting holding in Vienna, Austria where issue bothering on possible extension of existing supply cut on Crude Oil would be discussed. By and large, we expect continuation of volatility on main trading indicators.
