The U.S., EU and Japan agreed to seek stronger WTO rules against subsidies, pressuring China. They want to bar unlimited guarantees; aid to troubled firms lacking real rescue plans; assistance to companies that can’t secure commercial finance and are operating in industries with overcapacity; and some debt forgiveness.
BlackRock, the world’s largest fund manager, is dumping more than half a billion dollars in thermal coal shares from all of its actively managed portfolios, as part of a more active global stance on climate change driven by chief executive Larry Fink.
Oil rose ahead of the U.S.-China trade deal signing, even as gold recouped most of its earlier losses. Natural gas rebounded on revised U.S. weather forecasts that cast doubt on the strength of a coming cold spell. Spot palladium surged past $2,150 an ounce. Nickel slumped on the LME.
