Jul 19, 2025

Producers of metals and other raw materials were more or less flat after one candidate to lead the Federal Reserve staked out a dovish position.

The U.S. dollar dropped against rivals after Fed governor Christopher Waller, who is reportedly under consideration for the lead role at the Fed, advocated for an interest-rate cut at the next central bank meeting in two weeks.

Gold futures, which are particularly sensitive to moves in the dollar, rose 0.4% to finish the week more or less flat, above $3340 an ounce.
