Naturalgas on MCX settled down -0.29% at 209.40 fell in yesterday’s session continuing a small retreat from 2 1/2-month highs on mild weather may limit demand and the market’s ability to keep rallying. Natural gas prices appear to have found solid resistance at the 215.20 level, while according to natgasweather.com, temperatures vs normal averaged over the next 7-days are expected to be warmer than normal over a majority of the US besides the West Coast/NW. This will result in limited demand for heating over the northern US, while only minor demand for cooling over the relatively warm southern US. A rather bearish map in terms of temperatures vs normal even as numerous weather systems traverse the country with rain and snow. They just aren’t very cold besides along the West Coast.

Crudeoil on MCX settled up 1.94% at 3424 climbed higher reaching it best closing level in over a month amid concerns about geopolitical tensions, the price of crude oil showed a notable upward move during trading on Monday.

The field had only just returned to production, after a week-long stoppage ending in early April.

While Syria produces only small volumes of oil, the Middle East is home to more than a quarter of the world's oil output.

Silver on MCX settled down -0.03% at 41366 tracking weakness from Comex Silver which dropped to settled at $17.88 a troy ounce extending last week’s slide as a stronger dollar weighed on precious metals.

Renewed dollar support late on Friday undermined bullion and defensive support for precious metals was curtailed by relief over the US trade stance during President Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi. Silver held steady while support can be seen as growing geopolitical tensions continued to drive safe-haven demand. Top aides to U.S. President Donald Trump differed on Sunday on where U.S. policy on Syria was headed after last week's attack on a Syrian air base, while U.S.

New Delhi [India], Apr 8 : In the current year, tea realizations are expected to remain buoyant following higher demand for tea, particularly given the expected supply side issues in both Sri Lanka and Kenya.

However, buying patterns across tea segments, which had witnessed a considerable change in CY2016, will remain a key determinant of the overall price trajectory in the current year as well.

Despite the buoyancy in prices though, continuing cost pressures, with the increase in wage rates, are likely to keep the margins and debt coverage indicators of bulk tea producers under check. Nonetheless, the capital structure of large companies in the sector is expected to remain favorable.

Washington D.C [USA], Apr. 8 : Walking down a grassy field, have you ever wondered that what lies beneath the surface?

We finally have an answer to that question.
