The Biden administration is planning to award approximately $6.3 billion in grants to help industries reduce their carbon emissions. The grants will be given to sectors such as cement, glass, chemicals, metals, and pulp and paper, which account for a significant portion of US emissions. The funding aims to support the transition to lower-carbon technologies in these industries, which is crucial for the administration's goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century. The Department of Energy will be responsible for distributing the grants, and details on the projects that will receive funding are expected to be announced soon. [Extracted from the article]

Canadian investors purchased a record amount of foreign securities, totaling C$29.4 billion ($21.8 billion), in December of last year. This marks the largest net outflow of purchases into foreign stocks and bonds since 1988. The surge in investment was driven by Canadian investors' demand for US large-cap technology shares and investment fund shares tracking broad US equity market indexes. Additionally, Canadian investment in non-US shares, particularly European equities, also contributed to the record. Conversely, foreigners showed less interest in Canadian equities but increased their investment in Canadian debt, particularly federal government bonds and money market paper.

Amazon economists Francesco Furno and Domenico Giannone have developed a new model to identify recessions in real-time. Their measure, based on real-economy activity and financial conditions, can provide a reading for a given month on the first business day of the next one. The researchers have created separate versions for the US and Europe, although their paper does not indicate whether either economy is currently in a recession. Their method is designed to be more timely than official indicators, which often declare a recession months after it has begun. [Extracted from the article]

The UK committee advising on financial law has stated that pension trustees may consider climate change when making investment decisions, addressing concerns that this could be a breach of fiduciary duty.

While the guidance is aimed at pension funds, it is also relevant for legal advisers, investment consultants, fund managers, and insurers. The committee's findings are not legally binding, but ESG investors in the UK have welcomed the announcement and called for their incorporation into financial market regulation and monitoring.

The bill's rejection has implications for industries heavily reliant on immigrant workers, such as the hospitality and construction sectors. Macron's attempt to form coalitions to support the legislation has been challenging since losing his majority in parliament, and divisions on the issue of immigration have boosted the popularity of far-right parties like Marine Le Pen's National Rally.
