They want to see this fully electric, innovative thing come to their building door in 20 minutes, delivering their food and groceries. It is very exciting.'

Oil climbs on supply risks; weak fundamentals weigh
Ammon News - Oil prices climbed on Thursday as investors remain cautious the U.S.-Russia summit on Ukraine on Friday will lead to a loosening of Russian crude sanctions and may even result in further action against buyers, while a weak market outlook capped gains. Brent crude futures were up 24 cents, or 0.37%, at $65.87 a barrel at 0356 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 21 cents, or 0.34%, to $62.85. Both contracts hit their lowest in two months on Wednesday after bearish supply guidance from the U.S. government and the International Energy Agency (IEA). Trump on Wednesday threatened "severe consequences" if Putin does not agree to peace in Ukraine. Trump did not specify what the consequences could be, but he has warned of economic sanctions if the meeting in Alaska on Friday proves fruitless. Expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will cut rates in September is also supportive for oil. Traders are almost 100% agreed a cut will happen after U.S. inflation increased at a moderate pace in July. Oil prices were kept in check as crude inventories in the United States unexpectedly rose by 3 million barrels in the week ended on August 8, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Wednesday.

Gold extends rise on Fed rate cut hopes, softer dollar
Ammon News - Gold extended gains to a third straight session on Thursday, supported by rising expectations of an interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve in September following tame inflation data, which also weighed on the dollar. Spot gold rose 0.2% to $3,359.81 per ounce as of 0410 GMT. U.S. gold futures for December delivery added 0.3% to $3,408.50. The dollar languished near multi-week lows against its rivals, making gold less expensive for holders of other currencies. Benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields held near a one-week low. U.S. consumer prices rose only marginally in July, strengthening expectations of a Fed rate cut next month, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noting there is a good chance the central bank will opt for a 50 bps reduction. Non-yielding gold thrives in a low interest-rate environment. Elsewhere, spot silver gained 0.1% to $38.56 per ounce, platinum eased 0.2% to $1,337.12 and palladium rose 1.5% to $1,139.32. Reuters

Gold gains as soft US data pressures dollar
Ammon News - Gold edged higher on Wednesday, supported by a weaker dollar after mild U.S. inflation data cemented bets for an interest rate cut in September, while investors awaited this week's U.S.-Russia talks over the war in Ukraine. Spot gold was up 0.2% at $3,351.46 per ounce, as of 0447 GMT. U.S. gold futures for December delivery were steady at $3,399.60. "The fall in the USD enabled a moderate bounce in the gold price, with the precious metal oscillating around the $3,350 level ahead of the Trump-Putin meeting on Friday," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade. Data released on Tuesday showed that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% in July, following a 0.3% increase in June. On a year-over-year basis, the CPI climbed 2.7%. The dollar index extended declines, making greenback-denominated assets more affordable to holders of other currencies. Elsewhere, spot silver rose 0.8% to $38.17 per ounce, platinum eased 0.1% to $1,335.82 and palladium was flat at $1,129.37. Reuters
