(Reuters) - Clint Eastwood, de 86 años y cuatro veces ganador del Oscar, criticó a la actual generación de estadounidenses por ser débiles y demasiado sensibles, al tiempo que mostró su apoyo al candidato presidencial republicano, Donald Trump, aunque "ha dicho muchas tonterías".

Eastwood, un destacado seguidor del Partido Republicano que participó, incluso, en la convención de 2012, realizó un duro diagnóstico de sus compatriotas en una entrevista con la revista Esquire publicada el miércoles.

"Él tiene algo porque todos se están cansando de la corrección política, de la adulación", afirmó el aclamado actor y director sobre el magnate inmobiliario. "Es la generación lameculos en la que vivimos ahora. Es una generación de cobardes. Todos caminan sobre huevos".

"Vemos que la gente acusa a la gente de ser racista y todo tipo de cosas. Cuando crecí, esas cosas no se llamaban racistas", agregó.

Ante la elección del próximo 8 de noviembre entre la candidata demócrata, Hillary Clinton, y Trump, Eastwood dijo: "Complicado, ¿verdad? Tendré que ir con Trump (...) ya sabes, porque ella dijo que seguirá los pasos de Obama".

En la entrevista, Eastwood se refirió a la polémica generada cuando Trump acusó a un juez descendiente de mexicanos de estar predispuesto contra él en un caso judicial por haber dicho que construirá un muro en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México para frenar la inmigración ilegal.

Eastwood señaló a Esquire que Trump fue calificado "ahora de racista porque habló de este juez".

"Y sí, es una tontería decirlo. Es decir, hacer pública tu opinión sobre el hecho de que el tipo es hijo de padres mexicanos o algo así", afirmó. "Ha dicho muchas tonterías. Ellos también. Las dos partes. Pero todos, la prensa y todos dijeron 'Oh, bueno, eso es racista', creando un gran escándalo. Supérenlo de una jodida vez. Es un momento triste en la historia", agregó.

Goldman Warns ‘Supply Storm’ to Engulf Global Copper Market

A storm’s about to hit the global copper market, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which forecasts that the price may slump to $4,000 a metric ton over 12 months as mine supply picks up, producers enjoy lower costs and demand growth softens.

“Company guidance and our estimates suggest that copper is entering the eye of the supply storm,” analysts including Max Layton and Yubin Fu wrote in an e-mailed report received on Friday. A drop to $4,000 would be a 17 percent slump from Thursday’s close on the London Metal Exchange.

Copper has lagged gains seen in other raw materials so far this year, especially zinc and nickel, which have benefited from forecasts for global shortages. For copper, there’s been solid growth in global mine supply in the first half and that trend is expected to pick up in the coming quarters, according to Goldman.

“This ‘wall of supply’ is expected to translate into higher copper smelter and refinery charges and ultimately, higher refined-copper production, set against softening demand growth,” Layton and Fu wrote. The metal is seen at $4,500 a ton in three months and $4,200 in six, they said, reiterating targets.

Pipes and Wires

Copper for delivery in three months -- which last traded below $4,000 a ton in 2009 -- was at $4,844 on the LME at 2:12 p.m. in Singapore, heading for a weekly loss. The metal used in pipes and wires has risen 3 percent this year, while zinc has surged 41 percent and nickel has advanced 21 percent.

In July, Barclays Plc said supply may exceed demand every year through to 2020. The month before, Stephen Higgins, who heads Freeport-McMoRan Sales Company Inc., a division of the largest publicly traded copper miner, said more production has come on stream at a time demand growth in China has slowed.

For Goldman, the main expansion in mine supply through to the first quarter of 2017 is expected to come from the Grasberg mine in Indonesia, Escondida in Chile and Sentinel in Zambia, according to the report. Growth from Cerro Verde and Las Bambas in Peru may also contribute, it said.

To gauge the outlook for supply, Goldman tracks 20 companies that account for about 60 percent of worldwide production, according to the report. These 20 raised output 5 percent on-year in the first half of 2016, and are expected to increase that to as much as 15 percent in the coming quarters, it said.

Antofagasta Plc, which owns and operates copper mines in Chile, has lost 15 percent in London over the past 12 months, while Rio Tinto Group, the mining giant that produces iron ore and aluminum as well as copper, fell 5.7 percent. In the U.S., Freeport-McMoRan Inc. has gained 13 percent in the period, aided by asset sales and other measures to reduce debt.

Crude Slump Sees Oil Majors’ Debt Burden Double to $138 Billion

When commodity prices crashed in late 2014, oil executives could look at their mining counterparts with a sense of superiority.

Back then, the world’s biggest oil companies enjoyed relatively strong balance sheets, with little borrowing relative to the value of their assets. Miners entered the slump in a very different state and some of the world’s largest -- Rio Tinto Plc, Anglo American Plc and Glencore Plc -- had to reduce dividends and employ draconian spending cuts to bring their debt under control.

Two years on, you could excuse mining executives for feeling smug. As crude trades well below $50 a barrel, Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch Shell Plc and other oil giants have seen their debt double to a combined $138 billion, spurring concerns they’ll need to keep slashing capital spending and that dividend cuts may eventually be necessary.

Worse, the mountain of debt, which has grown tenfold since 2008, is likely to increase further in the third and fourth quarters, executives and analysts said.

“On the debt, it may go up before it comes back down,” Shell Chief Financial Officer Simon Henry told investors last week. “And the major factor is the oil price.”

The main concern is that companies have so far failed to stop the increase in debt load, said Harold “Skip” York, vice president of integrated energy at consulting firm Wood Mackenzie Ltd. in Houston.

“The debt traffic light is yellow,” he said. “In the absence of an oil price uptick or sizable asset sales, commitments to maintain the dividend will face even more pressure.”

The problem for Big Oil is simple: Companies are spending a lot more than they’re earning. Both West Texas Intermediate and Brent crude, the two most prominent benchmark grades, slid into bear markets this week after falling more than 20 percent since early June.

The first-half results indicate that oil companies “are likely to generate large negative free cash flows for the full year,” said Dmitry Marichenko, an associate director at Fitch Ratings in London.

Take Chevron Corp. In the first half of the year, it generated $3.7 billion pumping crude, refining it and selling gasoline and other products. But that wasn’t enough to cover the $4 billion it paid to shareholders over the same period, let alone the $10 billion it invested in projects. Although Chevron tried to close the gap by selling $1.4 billion worth of assets, it still had to take on $6.5 billion in new debt over six months.

The imbalance explains why the debt load has grown so quickly over the last decade. Before oil prices plunged in mid-2014, Big Oil had around $71 billion in net debt, up from a low of just $13 billion in mid-2008, when oil prices hit a record high of nearly $150.

Growing Debt

Debt levels are currently rising at an annual rate of 11.5 percent, more than double the 5.1 percent witnessed between 2009 and 2014, said Virendra Chauhan, an oil analyst at consulting firm Energy Aspects Ltd. in Singapore.

“Whilst credit markets have been expansive and accessible during this time period, investor concerns about the sustainability of this trend are valid,” he said.

For some oil bosses, including Shell Chief Executive Officer Ben Van Beurden, reducing debt is now the main priority, ahead of paying shareholders dividends and investing in new projects. His company’s debt has risen especially fast after borrowing to finance the $54 billion acquisition of gas producer BG Group Plc earlier this year.

Yet, the oil companies have been able to take on more debt fairly easily because ultra-low interest rates allow added borrowing without risking credit-rating downgrades.

BP CEO Bob Dudley said the British company could “actually manage a little bit more” debt. “Money is so cheap right now,” he said.

And Exxon executives believe the company still has significant debt capacity. “We’ve got a very strong balance sheet,” Jeff Woodbury, vice president of investor relations, told analysts during a conference call. “We’re not going to forgo attractive opportunities.”

Los pedidos industriales de Alemania caen inesperadamente en junio

BERLÍN (Reuters) - Los pedidos industriales de Alemania registraron una inesperada caída en el mes de junio por una menor demanda externa de bienes, según datos divulgados el viernes que sugieren que la debilidad mundial pasó factura a la mayor economía europea a finales del segundo trimestre.

Los pedidos de productos "Made in Germany" bajaron un 0,4 por ciento mensual, dijo el Ministerio de Economía, la segunda caída en tres meses, frente a previsiones de un avance del 0,6 por ciento.

La demanda interna creció un 0,7 por ciento, mientras que los pedidos del exterior cayeron un 1,2 por ciento, con la demanda de países de la eurozona hundiéndose un 8,5 por ciento.

El dato de mayo se revisó al alza hasta un incremento del 0,1 por ciento, frente al estancamiento de la lectura inicial.

"Los pedidos industriales mostraron en general un menor ritmo en la primera mitad del año", dijo el ministerio. "La confianza industrial reaccionó de forma muy moderada al voto del brexit en Reino Unido y mantiene una ligera expansión".
