Asia stocks struggle after dire China data
- A + A SYDNEY (May 16): Asian share markets were struggling to sustain even a minor rally on Monday, after shockingly weak data from China underlined the deep damage lockdowns were doing to the world's second-largest economy. China's April retail sales plunged 11.1% on the year, almost twice the drop forecast, while industrial output dropped 2.9% when analysts had looked for a slight increase. The risks had been to the downside, given new bank lending in China hit the lowest in nearly four and half years in April. China's central bank also disappointed those hoping for a rate easing, though Beijing on Sunday did allow a further cut in mortgage loan interest rates for some home buyers. News that Shanghai was relaxing some of its lockdown restrictions offered only cold comfort to investors. Chinese blue chips shed 0.4% in reaction while commodity currencies took a knock led by the Australian dollar, which is often used as a liquid proxy for the yuan.

Earth Stands ‘50:50’ Chance Of Passing 1.5 Degrees Warming Within 5 Years
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Global average temperatures now have a roughly fifty-fifty chance of temporarily rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius beyond pre-industrial levels within five years, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization. The 1.5 degree figure represents an important threshold, as it is nominally the preferred warming limit set by the 2015 Paris Agreement—a limit that nations hope will be sufficient to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. According to the Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update released by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the period 2017-2021 saw only a 10% chance of 1.5 degrees being exceeded. But for 2022, that likelihood now stands at 48%. “This study shows—with a high level of scientific skill—that we are getting measurably closer to temporarily reaching the lower target of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change,” said Petteri Taalas, WMO Secretary-General. “Our … [Read more...] about Earth Stands ‘50:50’ Chance Of Passing 1.5 Degrees Warming Within 5 Years

Crypto’s Richest Lost Nearly $60 Billion In Recent Weeks In Massive Crypto Collapse
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Fortunes rise and fall in the volatile world of cryptocurrency, but over the last few weeks, they’ve only moved in one direction—down. The total value of all outstanding cryptocurrency tokens is down over 26%, and Bitcoin is down 25% since March 11, when Forbes counted 19 crypto billionaires . Now, just 16 are billionaires, Forbes estimates. For moguls whose net worths are hitched to token prices and publicly traded stocks of crypto firms, it’s been a difficult few weeks. Eleven of the industry’s wealthiest individuals have collectively lost nearly $60 billion, Forbes calculates, as the plunge in crypto erased nearly $400 billion in market value. One person accounted for the vast majority of that loss. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) was the industry’s wealthiest person in March with an eye-popping $65 billion fortune. (Binance previously announced it plans to invest in Forbes through a special purpose … [Read more...] about Crypto’s Richest Lost Nearly $60 Billion In Recent Weeks In Massive Crypto Collapse

Family Firms in India: Performance and Relevance
While the average trend is negative, there are family firms across industries that have performed exceedingly well. (Photo by Mikhail Nilov/Pexels) By SOUGATA RAY, NUPUR PAVAN BANG, NAVNEET BHATNAGAR Concentrated ownership of a firm in the hands of a family presents unique opportunities and challenges that impact its performance. In India, family firms are a dominant force in the economy, contributing significantly to nation-building, the exchequer, creation of jobs and asset creation. Their footprints on the Indian economy are indelible. It is imperative for family firms to perform well, grow profitably, create value and contribute to economic progress if India has to realise its full potential. Researchers have argued that family firms have better monitoring and lower agency costs than non-family firms, have incentives to take long-term views of maximising firm value, and are value-driven organisations. Yet, many of them are found to be plagued by rent-seeking … [Read more...] about Family Firms in India: Performance and Relevance
One in four Indian adults is hypertensive, experts blame sedentary lifestyle
IHCI report The Indian Council of Medical Research (CMR)’s hypertension control report says at least one in every four Indian adults suffers from hypertension, but only about 10 percent get their blood pressure under control. Experts have identified a sedentary lifestyle, higher beverage and salt intake as well as lack of sufficient sleep because of smartphone addiction as the reasons responsible for the persistent increase in the incidence of hypertension. “It is estimated that at least one in four adults has hypertension in India. Still, only about 10% of them have their blood pressure under control,” the India Hypertension Control Initiative (ICHI) report said. IHCI is a multi-partner initiative of the Union Health Ministry, ICMR, and the World Health Organisation (WHO), launched to achieve the government’s goal of a 25 percent relative reduction in raised blood pressure in 2017.
