Good morning, everyone. Rio Tinto’s iron ore boss says long-term demand for iron ore in China remains strong despite volatility in the country’s share market. The Shanghai Composite Index fell dramatically in its last day of trade on Monday, and had another volatile day yesterday before ending marginally lower at 1.3%. Rio’s Andrew Harding says the company isn’t worried about short term of fluctuations in China. Meanwhile, Chinese authorities have pledged more export for the stocks exchange to ensure market stability over there. Twitter’s revenue and earnings for the second quarter have beaten expectations, but co-founder Jack Dorsey has said he’s not satisfied with its user growth. The Microblogging site posted revenue of 502 million dollars, up 61% year on year, leading its own top forecast, but active users reached 316 million in a period, up only slightly on the first quarter. Mr. Dorsey said the firm had to do more to realize its full potential. To the markets, and some strong corporate earnings as well as worst stability on Chinese markets, so the Wall Street lifted overnight. The Dow gained 190 points. The Nasdaq was up 49 points. Well, the S&P 500 was up one and a quarter percent. In London, the FTSE was up 0.8%. Checking commodity prices, West Texas Crude is trading at 48 US dollars a barrel.
