‘The Fed FOMC minutes of their June 15 meeting were released overnight revealing that all officials agreed that, with inflation still well above their 2% goal and the labour market remaining very tight, maintaining a restrictive stance for monetary policy is still the right course and almost all thought they should raise their benchmark rate further this year. There was disagreement about when the next rise should come however. The release of these minutes brought a yawn from equity and currency markets but set US bond yields noticeably higher, especially at the long end. That will no doubt echo in our markets later today.’
Panda gushing over China and how they are mass producing plastic cooking spoons for our benefit and burning 2 billion tonnes of coal a year for our benefit. Now if ingrate NZ can just dramatically reduce its 0.17% share of global emissions then the climate change issue will be solved!
If only we’d changed our trade policy China wouldn’t have been forced into this position.

China doesn’t give a fig about what we do down here.

EU climate chief is concerned over the expansion of the coal industry in China
Published 12:59 AM NZST, July 4, 2023
BEIJING (AP) — The European Union’s climate chief on Monday expressed concern over the expansion of China’s coal industry, with the building of new coal-fired plants.
At a conference in Beijing, Frans Timmermans said that while China is forging ahead with plans to expand its use of renewable resources such as wind and solar energy, the country has also been constructing an ever-growing number of coal-fired plants in the past few years.

Official plans called for boosting coal production capacity by 300 million tons last year, at least the third consecutive year of growth.

The Communist Party has rejected binding emissions commitments, citing its economic development needs. Beijing has avoided joining governments that promised to phase out the use of coal-fired power.

China accounts for 26.1% of global emissions, more than double the U.S. share of 12.8%.
