Currencies
The Australian Dollar is advancing following the central bank’s update, supported in part by the weaker US Dollar. Among the possibilities: Hyperinflation, a sovereign debt crisis, a major bull market in gold (XAUUSD:CUR), the loss of reserve currency status for the dollar (UUP, UDN). The recent decline in the US Dollar Index against other major currencies has made many market participants wonder: is now a good time to invest in European stocks? The dollar is still the global reserve currency, and the next bounce from oversold conditions threatens carnage for assets on the other end of the teeter-totter.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback’s strength against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.08 per cent to 93.46. FOREX: A dollar rebound faltered as political wrangling over a U.S. relief plan and the gloomy outlook weighed on the currency. In 2019, eighty-eight percent of global trade was conducted in the US dollar along with sixty-one percent of all foreign bank reserves and nearly 40% of the world’s loans.
The dollar is narrowly mixed among the majors, though we suspect the greenback’s upside correction may not be over. Bondholders would receive about 54.8 cents on the dollar, close to the midpoint of the most recent offers from creditors and Argentina, people familiar said. The dollar slipped as political wrangling over a U.S. relief plan weighed on the currency.

This was evident in FY2020 as the average milled grade came in at 7.1 grams per tonne gold vs. 10.8 grams per tonne gold the year prior. Milled grades during FY2020 came in at 1.17 grams per tonne gold, a nearly 30% drop from the 1.64 grams per tonne feed grade in FY2019.

Oil
Major oil companies were crushed in the second quarter as coronavirus lockdowns led to a sharp decline in demand for oil and gas products. Oil again rejected the sub $40.00 a barrel area as talk starts to circulate that we could see a significant drawdown in U.S. crude oil inventory. Note that oil was in the $80-$100/bbl range for some of this period – so it has more to do than just the price of oil. Average daily production tumbled 38.8% to 202,815 barrels of oil equivalent (boe), while prices crashed 78.1% to $7.88 per boe, the company said.
The U.S. shale producer on Monday posted a bigger-than-expected second-quarter loss as the coronavirus crisis and related lockdowns pummeled demand for fuel and hammered oil prices.
On the Crude Oil front, OPEC+ is doing a delicate balancing act as production cuts of 9.7 million barrels per day expired on July 31st. Royal Dutch Shell is a major oil and gas company that recently announced a cut to its dividend.
