embargo

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The local market fell into the red yesterday as the financials and technology sectors weighed down on the market, after hawkish comments from the US Fed, that moved US yields higher. Also weighing down on the market was the European Union’s decision to pursue the ban on Russian oil. This has been in discussion for a while now and yesterday the EU agreed to a partial oil embargo on Russia over the invasion of Ukraine. This aims to cut 90% of Russia’s crude imports by the end of the year and aims to reduce Russia’s income to finance the war it launched on Ukraine three months ago. 

The ASX200 closed 1% lower yesterday will all sectors in the red. Zip (ASX:ASX:ZIP), EML Payments (ASX:EML), Megaport (ASX:MP1), Tyro Payments (ASX:TYR) and Suncorp Group (ASX:SUN) declined the most yesterday. Suncorp was also downgraded yesterday by Morgan Stanley, who now rate SUN as Underweight.

 As for the best performers, Beach Energy (ASX:BPT), De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG) and Whitehaven Coal (ASX:WHC) fought against the market sell-off.   

 The most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients yesterday were Lake Resources (ASX:LKE), Scentre Group (ASX:SCG) and the BetaShares Geared Australian Equity Hedge Fund (ASX:GEAR). 

Over in the US, all three major benchmarks closed lower. The Dow Jones down 0.7%, the S&P500 down 0.6% and the Nasdaq down 0.4%. 

What to watch today:

• The decline is set to continue today. Locally, the SPI futures are suggesting the Australian market will fall 0.36% at the open this morning. 
• In commodities, the oil price is trading lower. OPEC is considering suspending Russia’s participation in the cartel, and this could make room for other producers. And as mentioned earlier, the EU has agreed to ban 90% of Russian crude by the end of this year. This embargo will cover Russian oil brought in by sea, while keeping a temporary exemption for pipeline crude, to meet the demand of Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. 
• The gold price is also trading lower, weighed down by a rebound in the US dollar and firmer US Treasury yields. And iron ore is higher with better demand prospects in the market. 
• In economic data, at 11:30am AEST the GDP Growth Rate for Q1 will be announced. 
• Keep watch of Western Areas (ASX:WSA), as today there’ll vote on the company’s nickel-lithium merger with IGO. 
• Sezzle (ASX:SZL) will hold its AGM today. 
• United Malt Group (ASX:UMG) goes ex-dividend today. 
• Also watch Nordic Nickel Limited (ASX:NNL), which lists on the ASX today. 

Trading Ideas:

• Bell Potter maintain a Speculative Buy rating on De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG), after the company released an updated Mineral Resource for its 100%-owned Mallina Gold Project in Western Australia. They have increased their valuation on DEG by 5% to $1.80. And at its current share price of $1.13, this implies 59% share price growth in a year. 
• Trading Central have identified a bullish signal in Strandline Resources (ASX:STA), indicating that the stock price may rise from the close of $0.37 to the range of $0.44 – to $0.46 over 22 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis. 

Los líderes de la UE han acordado que el embargo al petróleo ruso como represalia por la guerra en Ucrania deje fuera del veto todo el crudo que llega al bloque por oleoducto. Mientras, el presidente ruso, Vladimir Putin, ha trasladado la disposición de Rusia para reanudar las exportaciones de fertilizantes y grano a través del mar Negro si EEUU y sus aliados levantan las sanciones impuestas a Moscú.

El presidente de la Generalitat, Pere Aragonès, ha exigido explicaciones "inmediatas" a la ministra de Transportes, Raquel Sánchez, ante las cifras, según él "inaceptables" de inversiones ejecutadas por el Estado en Cataluña. Desde el Ministerio han puesto en valor las inversiones ejecutadas en Cataluña.

Este martes termina el plazo fijado por el Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Cataluña para ejecutar su sentencia que fija un 25% de castellano en la educación catalana.

Y hoy es el Día Mundial Sin Tabaco. La OMS advierte de que es nocivo para la salud de las personas y del medioambiente, mientras la Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica ha insistido que hasta el 50% de los cánceres son evitables si se eliminara el tabaco. El Ministerio de Sanidad terminará hoy de pulir el plan antitabaco.

If you've ever been faced with an important decision when time was scarce, information was incomplete, or tempers were running high, you'll know that it's difficult to make a good choice. Now imagine a decision that has implications for the entire world, and the people facing that decision are 500 feet below the surface of the ocean in a nuclear-armed diesel submarine that is overheating and running out of power.

In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at decisions under pressure and how our thinking process is affected by stress.

We begin in the Sargasso Sea, just off the coast of Florida, in October 1962. It's the height of the Cold War, and the Cuban Missile Crisis is bringing the U.S. and the Soviet Union closer to open conflict. John F. Kennedy has ordered a naval "quarantine" around Cuba after the discovery of Soviet missile installations there, and the Soviets have responded by sending a squadron of submarines to the area. Those submarines were ill-equipped for the warm waters around Cuba, and the squadron had little to no contact with Moscow. And they were being hunted by the American navy. It was a recipe for disaster.

Dr. Svetlana Savranskaya tells the story of two of the Russian submariners in the fleet, one who demonstrates the dangers of making decisions under extreme pressure and the other who proves why it's best when cooler heads prevail.

Dr. Savranskaya is director of Russian programs at the National Security Archive at George Washington University. 

You'll also hear an American perspective on this dangerous military interaction from a man who was there. Gary Slaughter served as a communications officer on the USS Cony during the Cuban Missile Crisis and is the author of Sea Stories: A Memoir of a Naval Officer.

Next, Dr. Modupe Akinola joins Katy to discuss the mechanics of decision-making under stress. You'll hear how your stress system prepares you to act but also suppresses your ability to think clearly. Dr. Akinola offers ideas on how to prepare yourself for decisions and minimize the negative effects of stress in her paper "Thriving Under Pressure."

Modupe Akinola is an associate professor of management at Columbia Business School, director at the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Center for Leadership & Ethics, and host of the TED Business podcast.

Finally, Katy presents useful advice on being decision-ready and avoiding the hot-headed choice.

In this episode, we cover these questions: Can Europe afford to implement an energy embargo against Russia?, What are Russia's options to retaliate economically against the West? Will China step in and aid financially its Russian ally? Would it make a difference to include other Russian banks in the SWIFT ban?
Don't miss Zach Meyers new paper: The West needs a sanctions strategy

Tras la caída de la Unión de Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas, Cuba quedó ante "el fin de la historia". ¿Cómo se ha enfrentado el régimen cubano a esta situación? ¿Cuál ha sido el desarrollo político en la isla durante los últimos 30 años? ¿Cómo ha conseguido mantenerse pese al embargo y, al mismo tiempo, pese a las protestas de la población? Y, tal vez una de las preguntas más difíciles, ¿qué se puede esperar de Cuba en los próximos años?

Após análise técnica, a Anvisa vai autorizar a aplicação do imunizante da Pfizer contra a covid-19 em crianças de 5 a 11 anos. A farmacêutica já tem o registro definitivo de sua vacina no País e o produto passou por testes de segurança e eficiência para aplicação em crianças. O cronograma de vacinação depende do Ministério da Saúde e das secretarias estaduais. Casos graves de covid-19 nessa faixa etária são menos frequentes, mas a imunização ajuda a dar proteção mais ampla a crianças e a reduzir o risco de que elas se tornem transmissoras do vírus. A dosagem será menor do que a aplicada em maiores de 12 anos. A armazenagem deve ser feita em frascos diferentes.

Nos cinco primeiros meses do ano, a arrecadação do Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços (ICMS) pelos Estados superou em R$ 45,1 bilhões o resultado obtido no mesmo período de 2019, antes da pandemia. Com os preços em alta, os Estados arrecadam mais porque o ICMS é cobrado a partir de uma base de cálculo maior. Os dados – reunidos a pedido do Estadão pela Federação Brasileira de Associações de Fiscais de Tributos Estaduais (Febrafite), com base nas notas fiscais eletrônicas emitidas – refletem o boom internacional de alta das commodities (produtos básicos).

An Oil Embargo in 1973 and the need to maintain the US Dollar Currency relevant changes the way the United States deals with foreign developing countries that produce oil. From assassinations to creating civil wars and even full-on invasions, is there anything the United States won't do?

So far, our series on global trade has focused on ingredients that are either sweet or spicy, and that shaped international trade routes. As our stories make clear, there are ups and downs when talking about the globalization of our foodways. So this week, we go from sugar and spice to bites! We’re going to talk about the role that animals have played in the history of the food trade. Then, we have two stories about bite-sized foods with global footprints.

Note: This series started with episode 100, From the Silk Road to a Globalized World: An Introduction to Trade, and we recommend starting there if you’re just tuning in!
