12/04/24 - US Markets Wrap: Should investors fear the complexity of emerging markets?US producer prices increased moderately in March as a rise in the cost of services was softened by a fall in goods prices, calming fears of a resurgence in inflation.
The report from the US Labor Department led economists to anticipate milder increases in the inflation measures tracked by the Federal Reserve for monetary policy relative to the strong consumer price readings in March.
Gina Martin Adams, Chief Equity Strategist & Global Director of Equity Strategy at Bloomberg LP shares her insights on whether the sell-off following a hot consumer prices report signals hope that we might not see a resurgence in inflation and if investors are too bullish at this point.
She also weighs in on the complexities, opportunities and risks posed by emerging markets, whether leading industries are in the process of losing steam, and the direction of the overall market health.

12/04/24 - Climate Connections: The rice you eat contributes to carbon emissions! So, how do we cut it?Rice is a key staple in many diets around the world. But did you know that rice production accounts for over 10% of global methane emissions? These emissions in turn contribute to climate change.
Bali is an Indonesian island known for its stunning landscapes, famous for its terraced rice fields that cascade down hillsides, creating a picturesque environment. But beyond aesthetics, the Bali rice fields and the Subak system are closely intertwined and they represent the lifeblood of Bali's cultural and agricultural heritage.
The Subak system, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, refers to the traditional irrigation system developed by Balinese farmers to manage water distribution and cultivation in flooded rice fields. It is a cooperative and democratic system that emphasises harmony between nature and the community.
On this episode of Climate Connections - Sharadha Sathiakumar, Research Fellow, Earth Observatory of Singapore shares more about her project exploring potential solutions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in the rice fields of Bali located in Indonesia, the fourth-largest producer of rice worldwide.
She found that the Intermittent Wetting and Drying technique allowing local farmers to improvise based on their experience could very well be the solution to reducing the greenhouse gases emitted by the rice you eat! The results of this experiment were very promising: both methane and nitrous oxide emissions reduced, and rice yield increased.
