ABC NEWS - Low-sulphur, cleaner shipping fuel oil transition looms signalling choppy waters ahead for maritime industry ANL, which operates in Australia, is modifying some of its vessels using exhaust gas cleaning systems, also known as scrubbers.

FINANCE REPORT
 Weekly Market CommentaryUS GDP beat expectations, with growth coming in at 2.1% for the second quarter of 2019, confirming the strong domestic economy. GDP growth was supported by Consumer and Government spending, although a contraction in Business Investment, may be the trigger for the Fedneeds to cut rates next week. The Fed begins a two day meeting next Tuesday and is expected to be 'dovish' in their monetary policy stance. The majority of analysts expect a rate cut, but do not be surprised if Chairman Powell punts the opportunity, despite huge pressure from President Trump. ... read more |
