The company posted a 7.2% rise in first-quarter iron ore production, slightly above expectations, supported by stable demand from China, the world’s top consumer of the steelmaking ingredient.
The motor vehicle industry already consumes over 36 million ounces of silver per year – and that number will surely grow as global demand picks back up. The GoldSwitzerland Division was created to facilitate the buying and storage of physical gold and silver for private investors, companies, trusts and pension funds.

Oil
Fujairah fuel oil inventory levels for the week ending 12th Oct were lowest since Aug 2019 and were assessed at 8.9 million bbl as per Refinitiv Oil Research. So says the guy who helped manage an oil price war that brought the global oil industry to its knees in the throes of a worldwide pandemic emergency. The IEA cut its outlook for worldwide oil demand to 91.7 million barrels per day this year while OPEC brought its forecast down to 90.2 million in 2020. As both oil and gas demand has seen significant demand destruction this year, prices for both have plunged.
The frequently cited breakeven price for the Saudi government budget is $80 per barrel, although Saudi government budget discussions seem to revolve around an oil price of $50.

United States
The US stock market witnessed a sell-off on Monday due to fiscal stimulus talks shifting market sentiment. “You could say the market is discounting that Trump is going to lose,” said Daniel Clifton, Strategas Research head of policy research. Another positive for Caterpillar is that the US housing market, which is responsible for a significant amount of construction activity in the country, has done well throughout this crisis.

He proceeded to paint a scenario of what he could do – though Trump said he would not actually make the kind of phone call he described. Market participants opted to ditch the US currency in anticipation of an elusive new coronavirus stimulus deal that remains subject to bipartisan wrangling. US stock futures are trading higher today, indicating a positive opening for Wall Street indices.
Wall Street began to realize that the pandemic would have serious implications for the broader market, including retail real estate. The US housing market’s strength should, at least, be an incremental positive for Caterpillar going forward, as this will result in a solid demand baseline for construction machinery.
