In context then an updated view of the US dollar: The dollar indeed rejected from the technical pivot and is now forming a potential cup and handle pattern. Keep in mind, though, the election is only one driving force and the Dollar may quickly shift its focus to a more pressing set of fundamental factors. Tesla, the EV industry leader, patented their single crystal cathode for their million dollar battery earlier this year. … But again, gold is going up regardless of the outcome of the election, and the dollar is going down.
Overall, Peter said he was surprised that the dollar didn’t fall more and that we didn’t see a bigger rally in gold and silver on the news. We think the US dollar remains the risk-off asset to hold at the moment and we also like low-correlated equity sectors such as global mining. The deal will result in a one-time gain of around $65 million, just over a dollar per share. The U.S. Dollar often follows an interesting sequence in historical election years.
Indeed, the picture gets much clearer on an absolute dollar basis. Coupled with this demand is the fact that the US dollar had a 3rd quarter to forget. Source: Bloomberg But then again, the dollar did continues its recent renewed decline… So while the euro is strong right now, it will be difficult for the currency to sustain its gains with clear signs of slowdown in the recovery.

Oil
At HFI Research Natural Gas, we give you guidance on natural gas fundamentals, weather, and set-ups to help you navigate the dangerous natural gas market. Weir wanted out of the oil & gas market and this deal gives them a clean exit and the freedom to restructure as a pure-play on mining and aggregates. The two companies announced that, subject to typical approvals (including Weir shareholder approval), Caterpillar will acquire Weir’s Oil & Gas business for $405 million in cash.
Oil dropped back below $40/bbl, natural gas futures rolled to the next month and sit above $2.50/mmbtu as the weather turns chillier. For readers investing or trading natural gas or natural gas equities, don’t be blinded by the incoming moves. As about 80% of the Weir Oil & Gas business was in North America, I believe that will aid Caterpillar’s integration and synergy attempts. Low oil prices hurt energy revenue, while weak economic activity likely stymied industrial revenue.
Coal was negatively impacted by lower natural gas prices and overall softness in the market. Higher beta, upstream-oriented names (Plains GP Holdings (NYSE:PAGP), Rattler Midstream (NASDAQ:RTLR), ONEOK (NYSE:OKE), Targa Resources (NYSE:TRGP), EnLink Midstream (NYSE:ENLC)) were sharply positive despite oil prices being sharply negative. All that’s left is for us to see the physical improvements in Brent time spreads, and we think oil prices will be much higher from here. Falling fuel costs appear to be knock-on effect of waning demand for oil and a dismal economic outlook.
Wow, November natural gas futures jumped as much as ~11% at one point in the day before falling back to $2.64/MMBtu. Here’s the chronological order of an oil price recovery, write it down, tattoo it on your arm, or whatever you need to remember this. Energy led the way higher, trading in sympathy with the rise in oil. Crude oil stopped rising, reflecting slower growth ahead. We bought UCO when the crude oil price fell to $20.00/bbl levels.
Crude oil price topped at $43.75/bbl and started its downtrend. Now as some oil traders will tell you, this is by no means of “real” refining margins. When we found out that crude oil had difficulty to move to above $44.00/bbl, we sold it. BP is the worst performer among the major oil producers.
