Exceeding the opec plus target and production started to recover. The opec plus cuts ease by over 2 Million Barrels this month and shut in volume compensation. Oil demand as we segue off that is expected to be 91. 9 million per day and sheer 8. 1 million per day. Reducing their 2020 forecast by 140 what we are seeing in that down grade for several months global refinery will lag behind as product inventory levels were high stocks have risen by 16. 2 Million Barrels in june and increased an average rate of 1. 7 Million Barrels per day. Crude prices remain in the range 40. 77 average, for the wti price. For 42. 224, brent the iae does dive in a little bit. Saying since late may, new covid cases seem to be stabilizing since the early days of the pandemic talking about jet fuel in particular and theyve revised data that shows that april the number of aviation kilometers was over 80 over 67 down. Those signs will improve significantly. Theyve down graded estimate we continue to take a look at the travel segment this year also on supply weve seen evidence that the United States was stepping in in production in the may output fell nearly 2 million per day. It was below the alltime high seen in september. Prices average higher since june u. S. Production is starting to rise again canada is seeing production rising a couple of big take messages there. Recovering in the two north American Giants growing as opec plus ease their output cuts. K we are talking about more outputs. Clearly along over oil demand is what they are witnessing in the oil markets so far in prices 45. 30, a slight pull back on wti perched around that handle today. Looking at those majors there in the red. Shale is down 2 hard hit to bp more around total. Getting to marcus who is the commodities strategist areas around Precious Metals and gold we saw significant reversal when gold has been a favorable asset class with investors what is going on with the trend. The underlying bullish narrative is very much in play we had that back up in u. S. Treasuries particularly in real yields in the week if you look at golds performance over the past month or so. It has materially outperformed we run a fair value against u. S. Yields on the dollar we thought gold was looking about 250 we expect it to trade at a bit of a premium it was susceptible whether it got up to those highs when any of the supported past where we saw the support and we have not gone over and of course this sharp correction we did have information around the vaccine and more unusual aspect the russia vaccine and bullish comments about the potential and the testing regime and lack of final stage trials seen as quite significant and whether you want to be holding gold do you have concerns if there is a positive outcome around the vaccine that we see a big selloff around gold. The key thing in terms of how we feel it will work is what impact is it going to have particularly on the employment outlook. One of the key medium term arguments that gold will stay at a high price level is that real rates stay very low. Even as growth recovers in the trough of q 2. Central Bank Policies are at the bound and in some cases negative levels weve seen the rates become negative because we have this big back log in terms of unemployment and Services Unemployment actually a vaccine can change social interpretations and be a pan sea in enabling a more material and faster recovery in employment you start to have a different outlook in terms of Central Banks to tighten a little bit or at least not run quite so lose, it would be negative for the gold price it would be digested over a period of time rather than an immediate catalyst rather than to understand the outcome for the market given understanding how long immunity will last or how long a vaccine will be rolled out to be more immediately, you are seeing a decline in the u. S. Dollar and an extraordinary turn of events and the strength of the u. S. Dollar. Do you have to buy into this story that the longterm bull run at this point to be a buyer of gold. I think it is one of the factors that you need to think is going to be a contributor that you think gold will move higher from here if you want gold to move to 2,500 for example on a sustaining basis and not on an overshoot, real rates can be really materially negative heading towards minus 2 hand in hand with that, you need to believe the dollar would be committed around 130 or so if you want to make the case that gold can sustainably trade higher, you are rerying on those two factors the stability and yield at this level, then you have seen the peak for gold already. Markets will have to navigate in this direction. Is this a gold trade around biden or trump that will depend on how much weve prepriced the outcome weve already prepriced a weaker dollar president there for a narrative that would support gold over the next month. It depends where we are on the price in the election. One possibility on that trade is that if weve got to the level weve got strong again and weak where the position is extended and the market is assuming that biden will be barrish on the dollar if you also see the democrats taking the senate, you could be in a position where you see a bigger fiscal expansion under a Biden Administration that gives you a stronger dollar and outweighs other impact at this point, it is too err will i to put on the trade just yet and depending on what other opportunities that is just yet can i bring out this barbell approach on the concern of the trump policies and clearly, there has been momentum around covid and risk because of some of the political noises around china. Theyve been buying risk and safe haven as well do you think that will continue . Caller that is a fair assumption that that will continue one of the things to be cautious about is that although over time it has a negative correlation with the rates market gold traded with the risk assets here that it is trading more with inflation and real rates in the short term and inflation moved with risk assets you see how gold would rally higher we have seen a pick up in inflation. That pushed real rates lower and lifted gold. If you think youve made a gold allocation and slightly step back and think about the defense asset and factor into what has happened with real rates the risk correlations are different. Really interesting comments about gold the commodity strategist and a quick look at . Market action, weve been weaker since we started in the trading session. Down roughly. 4 in europe, investors parking a lot of the assets on this stock. We rallied about 2 on the ftse. It was a strong day of trade given way to more trading today on these charts. This is how we approach the ftse giving back about half of the gains still above 6,000 points the dax yesterday only up by. 7 . 2 today. Italian stocks slooit sliding by just over. 1 of a percent. Evenly split, weve basic resources weaker foder for the oil market this hour down. 9 from this morning telecom gave us some numbers very strong for the market you can see it takes the top spot well be talking about that beat by Deutsche Telecom on the earnings expectations as it upsets forecast thanks to the historic merger with sprint. Well talk about that shortly. Hike Simon Pagenaud takes the lead at the indy 500 coming to the green flag, racing at daytona. Theyre off. In the kentucky derby. Rory mcllroy is a two time champion at east lake. He scores stanley cup champions touchdown only mahomes. The big events are back and xfinity is your home for the return of live sports. Deutsche telecom has posted a jump along with raising its guidance after the u. S. Tmobile became the second largest state side following the merger with sprint eam monumental shift theout look is one bit better than consensus the Third Quarter itself was a lot better they were expecting some 25. 6 billion euro. The core profit is up more than analysts had expected. Companies are not saying they are impacted by the corona crisis they are seeing a slowing in orders from business clients and slower revenues from rooming that was overcompensated by more broadband and that part of the business that across from the board they call germany rock solid especially when it comes to broadband. They could add more than 80,000 new customers in that quarter. Of course now that is the focus. Three fifths of all the revenue is coming from the states the numbers look really good calling that historic step with the acquisition with sprit, they are playing in a Different League they are parenting the integration with sprint will cost them money and that will weigh on money over the next years. I want to push on to thyssenkrupp the german Steel Company says it is showing signs of inflation after the sale of the elevator unit do you think you are seeing any signs of stabilization it doesnt if you look at the Third Quarter. The steel business is a huge drag on earnings after the Third Quarter, the loss was 334 million for the steel business for the full year, that would be one billion euro they need to p find a partner. That seems to be quite a tough challenging task clearly we know that merger didnt go through because of patent law they seem to be not too much interested increasing pressure on the management to find a improvement on the steel business. It is a huge drag on the earnings if you go through the other areas, it is not looking great but not a huge cat cat astro if i they are seeing a huge pick up as well. Seeing stabilization in the Fourth Quarter of their fiscal year but not for the steel business but that seems to be deteriorating going into the Fourth Quarter they dont see any trend of stabilization here demand is low and competition is strong from china. Back to you. Thank you for the detail there.

That Strong Capital position means they will recover from that loss. That has been unprecedented the riots and the high level of catastrophe which remind us of the fact that planet is in trouble. All together, they came in six months and made this unprecedented half year. We are happy we are Still Standing solidly we are strong and we can still recover from that. Coming up, a rush for cars and clothes pushes core consumers to a sharper high in almost 30 years. Welcome to street signs. These are your headlines the rally fades in europe after the s p closes just shy of the record high. Thyssenkrupp sees losses widen and warns sales will fall sharply. The iea warns of a reduction in forecast despite a boost from chinas recovery beating expectations in the guidance as sprint acquisition boosts performance and Vice President ial candidate makes her Campaign Debut with a scathing call on trump it is because of trumps failure to take it seriously from the start his delusional belief that he knows better than the experts. A modest decline initially. For some of these markets tracking around morning lows trading off one and a quarter percent. We had a pop off slightly better than expected. June saw some improvement. A big move and it is not sticking today we are barely holding on to that handle weaker trade and french stocks also climbing through the end. Something weve been watching the gains despite the moves. The euro, 1. 1825. The seeing anything different y but suggests the reversal. U. S. Consumer prices up increased by 0. 6 during the period, the sharpest jump in almost 30 years. A look at how treasuries are on the result you can see. 65 is where we are trading on the 10year lets bring the investment director at fidelity we did see moves yesterday worth noting on the bond auction what do you make of that market at this point . It is an unprecedented amount of stimulus it is natural. However looking ahead with this Purchase Program this in turn will keep the yields in the negative territory. We dont expect the growth to stay mild. It will take some time to go back to the pre covid levels from a growth point of view. An element of stabilization. What do you make of a link on better news and whether it is the United States or europe . If we were to get a vaccine or if uncertainty were to be unproved the scars the economy have and will have to recover from the strong drop we are seeing an increase in savings which as a result should keep bond markets well supported as people search for income to place their savings in we have placed strong moves on the back of european recovery. Swift moves noted on the yield to what extent do we trust these moves. It seems like fiscal disciplines have been tossed out of the window weve seen bond exposures at this point the bond review has been a meaningful step. For the first time, we have monetary support and coordinated fiscal policy support. A lot of the good news have been priced in. Having to choose where to allocate, we do prefer Corporate Credit to the likes of italy or others who sooner or later will have to deal with what are going to be the rising gdp as a result of the fiscal policy to relate to the policy. Credit better than at this stage. When we talk about Corporate Credit originally seeing swift moves where they raised it they are talking more qe down the track as we continue to see the economic weakness. Who are these bond buying programs supporting now or are they weak areas that they will somehow help they are a broad base in nature that is exactly what those core programs would achieve that will continue but we also think the main impact of the crisis will be an increase even a dramatic increase in the saving rate they have been burned and will think twice. The spectrum stands to benefit fromthat demand it depends on the policy risk. It depends where you are based. That seems like a much cheaper thing to do given that Interest Rate different enteral the dollar has come a long way from the down side. As a result of the actions and the central bank most bond increstors will have mainly bondrelated risks if they are happy to take the risks, they should take that in general. That hedged approach will make Risk Development for investors taking you to news crossing the reaction of the u. S. Decision around tariffs for airbus and other product saying it acknowledges the u. S. Decision not to exacerbate the decision they want to negotiate a position saying the slow down and covid hit make it particularly urgent.
