Toyota Motor Corp's global output in November will be 15% lower than planned.
Toyota Motor Corp will cut its global car production target by about 15 per cent from its previous plan in November, according to unquoted sources. Toyota Motor Corp is affected by the shortage of chips and expects to keep the annual production target at 9 million vehicles. An unnamed Toyota executive reportedly said the carmaker planned to resume normal production and make up for production losses from December, but there was "a lot of uncertainty" about the outlook. Toyota Motor Corp declined to comment on the report, according to the media.
Aluminum prices soared, Alcoa paid dividends for the first time in five years, and its share price nearly tripled in a year.
With aluminum prices rising, Alcoa, the largest US aluminum producer, rebounded strongly in 2021 and finally resumed paying dividends to shareholders five years later. The company said on Thursday that it would pay a dividend of 10 cents a share on Nov. 19 to shareholders of record before the Oct. 29 close. It is the first dividend paid by Alcoa since it spun off its aircraft and auto parts businesses in 2016. The company also announced a $500 million share buyback program. Alcoa's share price has nearly tripled from a year ago, driven by a historic surge in aluminum prices. From cars to MacBook to beer cans, aluminum quilts
The world's largest independent crude oil trader: oil prices still need to depend on OPEC+'s face in the next few months
Original title: The world's largest independent crude oil trader: Oil prices still need to look at OPEC+ in the next few months Mike Muller, Asia director of Vitol Group, the world's largest independent crude oil trader, said that in the next few months, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies will still be the main factor in oil price fluctuations, and pricing control is largely in OPEC+'s hands. In the US, if you need extra oil, then your production simply can't keep up with the number of rigs. Compared to three years ago, this is quite a shift. At that time, due to the second shale oil boom, the United States became the largest in the world

America under inflation: consumers and businesses sit idly by in the stock and bond market
American companies and consumers are worried about the upward pressure on prices; the balance of profit and loss is basically the same; technology stocks outperform cyclical stocks regardless of the White House, consumer price data, or performance conference calls; concerns about inflation dragging down the economy are ubiquitous. There are only two local exceptions, the stock and bond markets. Investors seem to actually believe Powell's “temporary theory” of inflation. Although the inflation rate has reached a high of more than ten years, the measure of inflation expectations in the bond market — the break-even inflation rate — has hardly changed over the past month. At the same time, it is thought to be vulnerable to a rebound in price pressure
New debtor Gang Rak: The current situation is very much like the era of great inflation in the 70s of the last century
Jeffrey Gunlach, CEO of Double Tier Capital and known as the “New Debt King,” said on Thursday that the current inflation situation in the US is reminiscent of when Jimmy Carter was in power in the 70s of the last century, and the Federal Reserve needed to take action to mitigate rising prices. Gunlach said that due to rising inflation and US Treasury yields remaining at such a low level, US bonds are now basically negative yielding assets. Gunlak said, “When you look at the actual yield of long-term treasury bonds, it looks like the Jimmy Carter era. The CPI is 5.4%, the yield on 10-year treasury bonds is even less than 1.4%, and the actual yield is -4
Musk admitted that Tesla electric pickup truck may fail: but I don't care.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a chat with fans on Twitter on Thursday that his company's upcoming electric pickup truck, Cybertruck, "always has some chance" that it will "fail". Still, Musk plans to maintain almost exactly the same "production design" as the display car-a huge metal trapezoid. Musk wrote: "frankly, Cybertruck always has some possibility of failure because it is so different." But I don't care. Even if others don't like it, I like it very much. All the other trucks look like replicas of the same thing, but Cybert
