<div id="readability-page-1"><div>Producers of metals and other raw materials fell after warnings from two major steelmakers offset a continuation of precious metals' hot streak. Investors chased the gains in safe-haven precious metals ahead of consumer-price inflation data. Gold futures rose 1% to $4,347.50 a troy ounce, and front-month silver rallied 5.6% to $66.24 a troy ounce, both all-time highs. Nucor and Steel Dynamics warned that their fourth-quarter earnings would fall well short of Wall Street's expectations. Nucor shares fell, but shares of Steel Dynamics rose, even after its warning. Timber giant Weyerhaeuser, America's largest private landowner, said it has launched a venture to turn runty trees and sawdust from its fleet of mills into a replacement for metallurgical coal used in steel making. Federal Reserve governor Christopher Waller, who is on President Donald Trump's shortlist to become the next Fed chair, said inflation is going to soften in the coming months, and that there is room for substantial rate cuts. Bolivia is seeking a financial lifeline from the Trump administration, and intending to open its vast lithium reserves to foreign investors.
