World Economic Forum-How much did supply constraints boost US inflation?
September 5, 2022--The recent inflation surge remains a huge topic of debate among academics and policymakers.
US analysts have created a research framework that allows them to quantify the effects of the pandemic on inflation, as well as decompose the contribution of demand- and supply-side factors.
Inflation in the US would have been lower at the end of 2021 without supply chain problems, their findings suggest.
It is possible that the ongoing easing of bottlenecks will cause a substantial drop in inflation in the near term, the researchers say.
What factors are behind the recent inflation surge has been a huge topic of debate amongst academics and policymakers. We know that pandemic-related supply constraints such as labor shortages and supply chain bottlenecks have been key factors pushing inflation higher. These bottlenecks started with the pandemic (lockdowns, sick workers) and were made worse by the push arising from increased demand caused by very expansionary fiscal and monetary policy.

The housing market slowdown, explained in 7 charts
September 4, 2022--It's becoming harder for buyers and renters to afford housing with steep mortgage rates and ultra-high prices.
After mortgage rates hit record lows during the pandemic, driving up demand for new homes and pushing up listing prices, the housing market is now slowing down.
That's good news for buyers who can afford to stay in the market. But many prospective buyers are being priced out as high mortgage rates and steep prices make it unaffordable for some to purchase a new home. At the same time, new home construction has decreased as builders become warier of falling demand - and rent prices have continued to increase.

'Anti-woke' and sin ETFs could get caught up in SEC rules scrutiny
September 1, 2022--The MAGA, Vice and BAD ETFs would be impacted by ESG Funds and Names Rule changes, if adopted.

All ETFs - including the MAGA ETF, Vice ETF, BAD ETF and the not-yet-launched God Bless America ETF-would be required to align 80 per cent of their portfolios with their names, if the proposed amendments are enacted.

Stark differences revealed under the bonnet of clean energy ETFs
August 30, 2022--An analysis of the offerings the funds provide show how important it is to look beyond the name
The invasion of Ukraine, surging oil prices and devastating evidence of climate change are likely to have helped contribute to the sustained demand for clean energy funds this year, even as broader environmental, social and governance (ESG) portfolios have seen their popularity ebb amid the wider sell-off in growth stocks.
That is despite some mixed short-term performance: most of the broad clean energy funds discussed in this piece are slightly down or flat for the year to August 11 if we look at local currency returns, although the strength of the US dollar has translated into some big gains for sterling investors in many cases. It is only the Invesco Global Clean Energy Ucits ETF (GCLX) that is still notably down over the period in sterling terms.
