Summary The Fed wrapped up its Open Market Committee meeting and, as expected, lowered the federal funds rate by another 25 basis points. The fed funds target rate is now 4.25%-4.50%. This was the third reduction in the rate-cut cycle, which started in September after the central bank had hiked rates aggressively during 2022 and 2023. Three meetings, three cuts. But based on forecasts released along with the rate decision, it looks like the Fed will refrain from lowering rates in the months ahead at an aggressive rate. While the Fed has clearly shifted its emphasis from solely fighting inflation,…
Towering prospectsgetty Offices continue to be plagued by high vacancy rates (20.1% in this year’s third quarter, per Moody’s), the bedeviling result of the work-from-home mindset that the pandemic created. In 2019’s fourth quarter, it was 16.8%. Also not helping: Some places have an over-abundance of office space, which brings downward pressure on leasing profitability. But guess what? The outlook for the battered office sector is promising, and some investors are taking notice amid bargains. Just look at the performance of real estate investment trusts specializing in the office sector: Their stocks have gained 28.5% this year, according to industry…

By Tassilo Hummel MAMOUDZOU (Reuters) -People in storm-ravaged Mayotte implored French President Emmanuel Macron to do more to help on Thursday as he toured the overseas territory where scores are feared dead in the rubble left by Cyclone Chido. Some in the crowds that gathered outside the airport booed the presidential motorcade, while others said they were grateful for Macron’s visit and urged him to stay longer. Officials in France’s have only been able to confirm 31 fatalities more than five days after the cyclone, but some have said they fear there could be thousands. A lawmaker told Macron that…
During the past few years, global voluntary carbon markets have been thrown into crisis by fraud and quality scandals. Verra, a major certifier of carbon emission offsets, announced in August that it was rejecting 37 Chinese rice cultivation projects and revoking issued carbon credits, due to quality concerns. Some of the credits from these so-called “phantom” projects had already been procured to offset greenhouse gas emissions by major companies, like Shell and China National Petroleum Corporation. But evidence seen by Dialogue Earth indicates something more serious than quality concerns: some of these projects never existed. Experts say any forthcoming reforms…
By Lucia Mutikani WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The number of Americans filing new applications for jobless benefits fell more than expected last week, almost reversing the prior two weeks’ increases and suggesting that a gradual labor market slowdown remained in place. Other data on Thursday showed the economy grew faster than previously estimated in the third quarter, driven by robust consumer spending. The upbeat reports came a day after the Federal Reserve delivered a third consecutive interest rate cut, but projected only two rate reductions in 2025, citing the economy’s continued resilience and still-elevated inflation. Fed Chair Jerome Powell told reporters on…

Process diagrams of conventional CCU and BICCU. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-51700-3 Researchers from Aarhus University (AU) have developed a new technology that uses microorganisms to convert the CO2 in flue gas directly for new purposes—for example fuels or substances for the chemicals industry. The technology can exploit CO2 as a raw material, unlike conventional carbon capture and storage (CCS), which captures carbon from flue gas and converts it into solid matter that can then be stored underground, for example. The research has recently been published in the journal Nature Communications. “In a net-zero future, we need to use…
NEW YORK (AP) — MrBeast’s ambitious reality show, which the YouTube megastar hopes will expand his giant online reach and turn the corner on recent controversies, is already raising questions from consumer advocates over a partnership with a fintech company. Prime Video’s Thursday premiere of the record-setting “Beast Games” capped off a tumultuous year for Jimmy Donaldson and his production company. Shortly after reaching never-before-seen YouTube subscriber totals, MrBeast began facing heightened scrutiny over past “inappropriate content,” the channel’s philanthropic efforts, its workplace culture and allegations of dangerous on-set conditions that Donaldson has denied. As MrBeast’s loyal following tunes in…
