  • According to reports, Global oil inventories rose for the first time in six months in January, despite the OPEC agreement. Iraq is planning to boost output later in the year even as the OPEC member reaffirmed its commitment to the group’s decision to cut production to counter a global glut.
  • Some market players believe that in near term crude oil prices are likely to trade positive on the back of surprise drawdown in U.S. crude inventories.

  • The strong mandate of state elections last week will have a significant impact on economic reforms in the country and will boost it to higher level. This in turn has led to strengthening of Indian currency against dollar and has improved to its highest level in last two years. This will certainly have positive effect on petchem sector as majority of the petrochemical is being imported in the country.
