ON CMX, Precious metals were trading lower since morning but later on recovered all of their losses and trading in green as we write this.

Base metals bounced from the more than five years low as credit growth surged in China and the group led by Copper which tested a high of 5699.00 before settling at 5641.00, jumped around 2.5% or 128.75 points. Nickel rose around 2% or 270 points to trade at 14560.00 after having tested a high of 14700.00, followed by rest of the metals which are gaining more or less a percent each.
