Who’s Done What?

From some recent feedback we are going to include each week this section called “who’s done what”, this will include some company announcements that we find of interest. This week:

• Recent unemployment data shows a drop, and our dollar is up 9% in two weeks 
• Australia’s biggest iron ore producer Rio Tinto has set a new quarterly record for sales of the steelmaking commodity. It produced 50 million tonnes of iron ore during the quarter, up five per cent on the same quarter in 2010.
