We believe traders are disposed to continue their cautionary attitute until the list shows ability to re-establish stability.
Whest: Scattered selling and long liquidation did not cover stop-loss orders in the early session. Later there was a fair rally, with final figures, Hittle changed from yesterday.
Cotton: The market was small affair with no important trading. either way. We still believe that prices will eventually go bigher and would take advantage to set-backs to make purchases.
Silver: Trading was very light. Lately, very little silver has been offered from London.
Business Done: 200,000 shares.
