Fundamentals:

No major economic data with direct bearing on the commodity today

Comment:  The instrument gaped down on opening for this week' session as the impact of the deadly coronavirus bites harder.  Some countries are resulting in banning entry to foreign nationals who have recently visited China so as to curb the spread. With light production expected to resume in China today, the impact is not expected to fuel a bullish move
