Producers of metals and other raw materials posted small losses as gold prices fell to end the week.

Aurubis, one of the world's largest copper producers, named a new chief executive in a sweeping restructuring of its leadership following cases of metal theft at a plant in Germany. The metals supplier named Toralf Haag to replace Roland Harings at the helm of the company, and Tim Kurth to succeed Heiko Arnold as chief operations officer for custom smelting, with both appointments effective Sept. 1. Steffen Alexander Hoffmann will take over as chief financial officer from Rainer Verhoeven on Oct. 1.
