    Why geopolitics must not derail the energy transition - or investors’ resolve

    2022-08-02T10:45:00Z By AXA Investment Managers

    July 26-27 FOMC Review: Maintaining a Hawkish Course

    2022-07-29T09:54:00Z By Amundi Asset Management

    The Federal Reserve hiked the fed funds rate by 75bp to 2.25-2.50%, the second consecutive 75bp rate hike. The Fed rate decision was widely expected. With today’s rate hike, the fed funds rate is within the 2 to 3% range of estimates of the long-term “neutral” rate. However, as Chair Powell reminded us during his press conference, policy needs to go beyond neutral into restrictive territory this year in order to reduce inflation.

    2022-07-27T10:56:00Z By Natixis Investment Managers

    Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, many countries – but especially those across Europe – have received a wake-up call when it comes to energy supplies. The shift from fossil-fuels to renewables remains the long-term goal. But how feasible are timescales, given the need for immediate energy security?

    Voilà! Is the ECB Capable of Going Big?

    2022-07-21T11:04:00Z By PGIM Fixed Income

    The European Central Bank (ECB) surprised investors with an outsized 50 bp rate hike today, taking its policy rate out of negative territory in one fell swoop. But the ECB’s Governing Council underwhelmed with its vague announcement of a new tool, known as the transmission protection instrument (TPI). This tool is meant to ensure the even transmission of monetary policy across the euro area.

    The U.S. Federal Reserve is about to Raise Rates: Keep Calm

    2022-07-07T16:30:00Z By Hines [Real Estate - North America]

    With widespread inflation persisting in many western economies, the United States, United Kingdom and to a lesser degree, the Eurozone are moving up the curve of hawkish monetary policy. Emerging from the pandemic-induced lockdowns, the initial burst of inflation was largely driven by so-called base effects as prices were being compared to artificially low prices in 2020 due to the dramatic disruption of aggregate demand.

    Are Biofuels Really the Choice Fuel for the Future?

    2022-07-04T15:04:00Z By Barings

    The most beneficial biofuels for carbon intensity reduction are biodiesels produced by wastes, such as used cooking oils and other fats, which are truly being recycled into energy. However, supply of these feedstocks is largely limited by the amount of food consumption.

    Since the winter of 2020, the energy sector’s weight within the S&P 500 Index has gone from less than 2% to almost 5% as of the end of May 2022. Having more than doubled, how much energy exposure, and in which areas, has become a key consideration for investors in U.S. equities.

    Focus on Spain: macroeconomic projections and fixed income view

    2022-06-29T15:32:00Z By Amundi Asset Management

    Under our scenario and assumptions, Spanish GDP is projected to grow at 4.2% in 2022, moving below 2% in 2023, significantly below Banco de España projections for 2023 and 2024 at 2.8% and 2.6%, respectively, as we expect the current environment of higher energy and gas prices and high inflation to negatively affect consumers, companies and activity.

    Many entities, including federal and regional governments, corporations, universities, and investors are setting net zero targets— as the world looks to tackle climate change. Net zero means achieving a balance between the greenhouse gases (GHG) put into the atmosphere and those taken out. This state is also referred to as carbon neutral.

    Security Concerns Add Urgency to Global Energy Transition

    2022-06-17T10:47:00Z By AllianceBernstein

    Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has caused enormous human suffering and upended the previous political consensus in Europe. It’s also prompted concerns that Western countries will be distracted from environmental priorities as they struggle to replace embargoed Russian oil and gas. But data suggest otherwise—that the global energy transition is accelerating and that the widespread effects from the conflict bolster the secular growth case for renewable energy.

    Since the beginning of the year, the market’s attention has focused on challenges confronting the energy sector, which is in turmoil following Russia’s military attack on Ukraine in February. The embargoes imposed as a result of this offensive have heightened fears, already palpable in the preceding months, of tensions between energy supply and demand, causing a further surge in prices, particularly for oil and gas.
