3 charts that show the state of Europe's energy crisis right now

October 20, 2022--Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent curtailment of gas flows to Europe has pushed international prices to new highs.
The EU has managed to fill its gas storage to 90% ahead of winter, according to the International Energy Agency's quarterly report.

Behaviour change and cutbacks may be needed if Russia reduces gas exports further, the agency says.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent curtailment of gas flows to Europe has pushed international prices to new highs, with market turbulence expected to continue in 2023, according to the International Energy Agency's (IEA) latest quarterly Gas Market Report. In the US, prices reached their highest summer levels since 2008, the report adds.

The crisis has led to a decline in natural gas consumption across a majority of regions. In OECD Europe, gas demand declined by close to 10% year-on-year in the period from January to August, falling by an estimated 15% in industry due to production cutbacks, according to the report.

Synthetic ESG funds found to hold polluting collateral

October 19, 2022--Index trackers and ETFs run by firms including BNP Paribas and Amundi are among those with 'unexpected' holdings

Synthetic "sustainable" index-tracking and exchange traded funds run by firms including BNP Paribas and Amundi hold polluting companies as collateral, Ignites Europe has found, risking undermining investor trust.
