Metals Inch Higher Despite Demand Uncertainty

0327 ET – Metal prices are rising despite a strong dollar and possible rate hikes keep prices largely range bound in recent weeks. Three-month copper is up 1.2% to $8,313 a metric ton, while aluminum is 1.3% higher to $2,308.50 a ton. Gold meanwhile is up 0.5% to $1,887.60 a troy ounce. Metal prices in September have largely been mixed, with copper down 1.5% while aluminum has risen 4.8%, amid demand concerns. Analysts at BMI attribute this to weak Chinese demand and dollar strength keeping prices capped. “With the US dollar remaining strong, we see little scope for a strong rise in metal prices in the coming months, given their historical inverse relationship with the greenback,” BMI adds in a note.

  Inside the Mormon Church’s Globe-Spanning Real-Estate Empire From Guam to Cape Verde, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is using the financial cushion of its $100 billion investment portfolio to go on a temple-building spree A whistleblower revealed a few years ago that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had an estimated $100 billion investment portfolio, and at the time, church officials called the holdings a rainy-day account. They now say the money also has provided a financial foundation that gives the Mormon Church confidence to construct more than 100 temples, from Cape Verde to Guam, a series of stone-clad monuments exhibiting the church’s vast and expanding wealth. In Pocatello, Idaho, a city of 56,000 in the rural southeastern corner of the state, a recently constructed temple stands at 71,125 square feet. Its polished limestone flooring was quarried in Bethlehem, the biblical birthplace of Jesus, and wood for its doors was imported from the Congo

 Good to know. The way tech companies continue to deliver ever-faster and more capable computers is undergoing a profound change—at the atomic level. Performance gains that were for decades accomplished mostly by shrinking the individual components on microchips—often described as Moore’s Law—are now increasingly the result of materials science, which is evolving faster than it has in decades. Santa Clara-based Applied Materials, founded in 1967, a year before Intel, is the biggest of the companies that are leading the way. It’s a change born of necessity. Chip makers are bumping up against a hard limit on how tiny the elements on chips can become, as some of their features can now be measured at the scale of just a few atoms. As a result, manipulating what materials are in these tiny machines, and how they’re connected to one another, has become a primary way that engineers can continue to make them faster and more capable.
