The storm is expected to move little in the coming days though restrengthening is possible within 48 hours, the NHC said.

Commodity Investing – Commodities fell for a third day and are poised for the biggest monthly loss since the recession of 2008 as Europe’s escalating debt crisis dimmed prospects for demand and sent crude oil into a so-called bear market.

The Standard & Poor’s GSCI Spot Index of 24 raw materials dropped 1.1 percent to 596.96 at 11:15 a.m. in New York, down 13 percent in May, the most since November 2008. Earlier, the gauge slipped to 595.8, the lowest since Oct. 6. Crude oil is set for the biggest monthly decline since December 2008 in New York, while copper slumped 12 percent.

Commodity Futures – The first drop in platinum mine supply in four years and record car sales, the biggest source of demand, are reducing a surplus of the metal and shoring up prices on the brink of a bear market.

Output will drop 4 percent to 6.14 million ounces this year as labor strikes and safety concerns disrupt mining in South Africa, the biggest producer, Barclays Plc estimates. That will diminish the annual glut by 90 percent to 37,000 ounces, the bank predicts. Prices will average $1,750 an ounce in the fourth quarter, 22 percent more than now, the median of 13 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg shows.
