<span style="background-color: white;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #474747; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Category: Commodities</b><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #474747; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #474747; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="color: #474747; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;">Crude oil rebounded in Asia on Thursday as investors bought on a dip overnight on data that showed the summer driving in the season in the U.S. is not making a major impact on demand.On the New York Mercantile Exchange, WTI crude for August delivery rose 1.27% to $45.32 a barrel. On the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), Brent crude for September delivery gained 1.10% to $46.77 a barrel.Overnight, crude futures fell sharply on Wednesday, retreating back near two-month lows, as investors shrugged off a modest draw in U.S. oil stockpiles placing a greater focus on the sharpest build in distillate fuel inventories in six months.On Wednesday morning, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its Weekly Petroleum Status Report that commercial crude inventories decreased by 2.5 million barrels last week for the week ending on July 8. At 521.8 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are still at historically high levels for this time of year. The draw fell in line with analysts' estimates for a decline of 3.0 million barrels, while defying expectations from the American Petroleum Institute of gains of 2.2 million barrels.Notably, gasoline inventories increased by 1.2 million barrels for the week, while distillate fuel stockpiles soared by 4.1 million barrels. The gains were concentrated in the Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts 1 (PADD 1) region, which covers a sizeable area of the East Coast. In PADD 1 alone, distillate fuel inventories rose by 1.172 million last week, representing nearly 30% of the overall gains.While consumers continue to spend at the pump at a steady rate, they haven't traveled enough over the key summer driving season to push gasoline inventories dramatically lower or offset the excessive supply gains.With gasoline stockpiles remaining far above their five-year average, refiners have been forced to halt production leading to seasonally-low levels in the so-called "crack spread". On Wednesday, the RBOB crack spread or the premium of a barrel of gas over a barrel of crude hovered around $12, hitting a five-year low for mid-July. By comparison, the spread stood at $18 two months ago and $28 in the middle of last summer.Without a considerable spike in gasoline demand in the coming weeks, refiners could be forced to remain on the sidelines, further squeezing their margins.</span></span></div>

Alcoa (NYSE:AA) unofficially started the the Q2 earnings season after the close on Monday. Despite a decrease in both profit and revenue, the aluminum maker managed to beat consensus on both figures and shares jumped nearly 4% in Tuesday's pre-market.Later in the week, investors will undoubtedly focus on bank earnings with JP Morgan’s release on Thursday, followed by Citigroup and Wells Fargo on Friday, as well as other financial companies such as BlackRock and PNC Financial Services.On Tuesday, market players looked ahead to a string of comments from Fed officials to gauge the stance on the future path of U.S. monetary policy.Much along the lines of Cleveland Fed president Loretta Mester who avoided commenting on the economy or interest rates in her speech in Sydney, Australia early on Tuesday, further clues were not expected from Fed governor Daniel Tarullo who will give remarks on shadow banking at 13:15GMT, or 9:15AM ET.However, St. Louis Fed president James Bullard is set to speak at 13:35GMT, or 9:35AM ET, on Tuesday to the Gateway Chapter of the National Association for Business Economics, while Minneapolis Fed president Neel Kashkari is expected to give remarks at 21:30GMT, or 5:30PM ET, on the economy and the role of the Federal Reserve System.On the economic calendar, the May job openings and labor turnover survey (JOLTs) will be released at 14:00GMT, or 10:00AM ET. While policymakers already received information from last Friday’s employment report for June, Fed chair Janet Yellen has commented that JOLTs is one of her favorite measures for the health of the U.S. labor market.Elsewhere, risk appetite continued to be boosted by expectations for new stimulus measures. Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe flagged a fresh fiscal stimulus package on Monday after his ruling coalition won a landslide victory in the Upper House.The coalition’s firmer grip means policymakers can more easily approve a bigger fiscal stimulus package to spur the economy. A stimulus package of at least 10 trillion yen ($97.9 billion) is expected.The yen hit session lows against the dollar on continued speculation for further BoJ intervention after a report that the Japanese government was planning to cut inflation forecasts for this year and provide an estimate of 1.4% for fiscal 2017, well below the central bank’s target of 2.0%.Investor sentiment was also boosted as political uncertainty in the U.K. eased with the imminent appointment of Home Secretary Theresa May as British Prime Minister.In oil markets, crude was higher on Tuesday, bouncing off the prior session's two-month low as investors looked ahead to a monthly report from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Counties due later in the session to gauge global supply and demand levels.The report could show OPEC production rose by 300,000 barrels a day last month to a nearly eight-year high of 32.7 million barrels a day, due to steadily increasing output from Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Iran.U.S. crude futures jumped 2.95% to $46.08 by 11:00AM GMT, or 7:00AM ET, while Brent oil soared 4.20% to $47.73.</span></span></div>

The pair had fallen to lows of 99.97 in the wake of Friday’s jobs report.EUR/JPY advanced 1.22% to 112.43.Japan’s Nikkei surged 3.98% after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s ruling coalition increased its majority in the upper house in parliamentary elections on Sunday.The win for Abe’s coalition fed hopes for a fresh package of stimulus measures to spur economic growth.Risk appetite had already been boosted after data on Friday showing that the U.S. economy added 287,000 jobs in June, well above the 175,000 jobs forecast by economists.The stronger than expected jobs report indicated that the economic recovery is back on track.But the data did little to alter the view that the Federal Reserve will stick to cautious plans for hiking interest rates after May’s payrolls figure was revised down to 11,000, the smallest monthly increase since 2010.The euro edged lower against the dollar, with EUR/USD slipping 0.2% to 1.1027, not far from Friday’s two-week lows of 1.1001.The pound also slid lower, with GBP/USD easing 0.15% to 1.2933, not far from its post-Brexit low of 1.2794 set last Wednesday.Investors were looking ahead to the outcome of the upcoming Bank of England meeting later in the week.The BoE could potentially ease monetary policy to cushion the U.K. economy from the impact of Brexit, which would also pressure sterling lower.The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, was up 0.32% at 96.62.</span></span></div>

At the same time, the company increased quarterly revenues by 4.3% to $96.4 million, amid a spike in maintenance product sales. For the quarter, sales in the division rose by 6%, driven primarily by sharp increases in WD-40's Multi-Use and Specialist products.Nevertheless, further gains from WD-40 were limited by unfavorable currency translation among the company's foreign subsidiaries. On a constant currency basis, the penetrating and water displacing spray company said revenues for the three-month period would have increased to $99.2 million for the quarter and $293 million year-to-date.Analysts expected to see earnings per share of 0.86 on revenues of $99 million for the period."We had a good quarter and are pleased we have seen solid year-over-year sales growth in maintenance products throughout all three of our trading blocs during the third quarter," WD-40 CEO Garry Ridge said in a statement. " Overall, we believe the tribe has positioned us for a strong finish to fiscal year 2016 and we are pleased that we will be able to reward them for their hard work across the globe."Moving forward, WD-40 anticipates to post full-year revenue of $378 to $383 million, down from prior estimates of $385 to $394 million.Shares in WD-40 lost 4.69 or 4.05% to 111.20 in after-hours trading.</span></span></div>
