Materials Extend Rally — Materials Roundup
Producers of metals and other raw materials continued to rally as gold futures snapped a five-session losing streak.
Gold futures spent most of the day higher and ended up 0.1% after U.S. retail sales eased more than expected, prompting worries that a pullback by consumers would spell a weaker outlook for economic growth this year.
Retail sales fell a seasonally adjusted 0.8% in January from a month earlier. Economists had been expecting a 0.3% decline.
Shares of Sylvamo surged after the paper company said a third-party appraisal of its Brazilian forestland showed the value of the land has more than doubled since 2021.
