Investors step gingerly as U.S. stocks close mixed
STORY: U.S. stocks spent much of Wednesday wavering between red and green only to finish barely changed, as investors limped toward the finish line of a downbeat month, a dismal quarter, and the worst first-half of the year for the S&P 500 since President Richard Nixon's first term in office. The Dow posted a gain of 0.27%. The S&P 500 ended down fractionally, while the Nasdaq finished about flat.Brian Vendig, president of MJP Wealth Advisors, said investors are likely waiting for personal consumption expenditures data on Thursday to see if inflation has eased.“I think the U.S. stock market today again is looking ahead at the expected PCE indicators tomorrow on inflation and also a little bit of choppiness due to changes in commodity prices around oil. So right now, you know, the market is staying within a range, I think, until we get a little bit more of a consensus view on where inflation is going over the next couple of weeks.”Market leaders Apple, Amazon.com and Microsoft posted gains, providing some upside muscle to the S&P 500.Chipmakers led the declines, with Micron and AMD each falling more than 3%, after Bank of America cut its price targets on several chip stocks.Shares of General Mills jumped after the packaged food company said its sales beat estimates.And Bed Bath & Beyond sank more than 23.5% after the retailer announced that it replaced its CEO, hoping to reverse a dismal sales slump.

Israeli PM Bennett says he will not seek re-election
STORY: It comes as Israel heads toward its fifth election in less than four years, plunging it deeper into political uncertainty as it grapples with rising living costs amid renewed international efforts to revive a nuclear deal with Iran."I wish to let you know that I do not intend to run in the upcoming election," he told reporters. "Soon there will be more important announcements on issues concerning our future."Last week, Bennett moved to dissolve parliament after infighting made his ruling coalition no longer tenable. The final vote on the bill to dissolve the Knesset, which was set to happen by midnight, was delayed until Thursday due to the many amendments filed, Israel's public broadcaster Kan radio said.Once the calling of a snap election gets the Knesset's final approval, Israel's center-left foreign minister, Yair Lapid, will take over from Bennett as prime minister of a caretaker government with limited powers.

Hundreds protest outside U.N. Ocean Conference
STORY: In the crowd attending the 'blue march', there were activists dressed up as mermaids and some were wearing shark suits to raise awareness of the threats faced by these ocean creatures."We are 75,000 years old, Australian Indigenous people, and the ocean is our mother and we love it," said activist Theresa Ardler, who travelled halfway around the world to tell leaders at the conference they are failing to protect her fishing community back home.In the first row of the protest with others behind her who played drums and shouted "Keep it in the ground" Ardler held a sign asking authorities everywhere to halt their plans to mine the deep sea.There is growing interest in deep-sea mining, which would involve using heavy machinery to suck up off the ocean floor potato-sized rocks or nodules that contain cobalt, manganese, and other rare metals mostly used in batteries.At the protest, 38-year-old Laura Meller from Greenpeace also urged leaders to reach an agreement on the long-awaited treaty to shield open seas against exploitation beyond national jurisdictions.

Italy's drought-hit farmers face sea water threat
STORY: As Italy experiences its worst drought in decades, dried out crops aren’t the only threat to farmers.Salt water from the Adriatic Sea is now flowing back into the Po, the country's longest river.The flow of sea water into the Po makes irrigation almost impossible as it risks burning the already parched crops.Giancarlo Mantovani is the director of ‘Reclaiming the Po’, who are fighting to protect the river."If there is no rain in the next 10 or 15 days, the crops that are not yet lost will be gone. At this stage, we are progressively losing the harvest. The longer the situation lasts, the worse the problem gets and the more the sown areas fail to produce.”The Po runs for more than 403 miles across from west to east, across the north of the country, a region which accounts for around a third of the country's agricultural output.The river is suffering the effects of a lack of winter snow compounded by a baking early summer.Large areas of sandbanks lie exposed on stretches of the river as the water levels drop and its flow slows, making it easier for sea water to encroach.These fields in Porto Tolle, near the Po delta, once contained an abundance of soy plants.Now they are dried up and damaged.Federica Vidali works here as an agricultural entrepreneur.She says the lack of rain is starting to concern her."I am trying to be optimistic but at the moment when it doesn't rain and you see the whole year of work lost, you become afraid, you are sad and you try to be positive."As part of efforts for some respite from the crisis, tractors have been set up to pump water from River Po into canals in Isola Pescaroli, a small town in the province of Cremona, which can then water the crops.But in recent weeks the water levels dropped so drastically that the water lifting system was blocked.And it’s not just the Po which is suffering.Italy’s northern lakes are already below, or close to record lows.And the level of natural reservoirs in the center of the country are also plunging.

STORY: A French court on Wednesday sentenced the primary suspect in the brutal 2015 Paris terror attacks to life imprisonment with no possibly of early release - a sentence handed down only four times before in the country.Belgian-born Salah Abdeslam was found guilty on terrorism and murder charges, the judge said.The 32-year-old is believed to be the only surviving member of the group that carried out the November 13, 2015 gun-and-bomb rampage on the Bataclan concert hall, six bars and restaurants, and a sport stadium that left 130 people dead.Abdeslam said at the start of the trial that he was a "soldier" of Islamic State, which has claimed responsibility for the attacks.He's one of twenty people sentenced Wednesday in connection with the attack. Thirteen others in the court room were accused of crimes ranging from helping provide the attackers with weapons or cars, to planning to take part in the attack.

Complicated wheat season leads farmer to soy
STORY: Drought is only the beginning of worries for wheat growers like Juan Francisco Arregui in Argentina’s breadbasket farmlands."This season for wheat is complicated.”Standing in a dusty field that hasn’t seen rain in two months, Arregui and other farmers are also concerned about spiking fertilizer costs and political uncertainty over export rules…a situation that is leading farmers in the world’s sixth top wheat exporter to switch to soy.Arregui: "In our particular case, we'll sow more soy because of the simple reason that its sowing cost is a lot lower and it has less risks attached. The costs of corn and wheat are bigger."That’s bad news for global grain markets still reeling from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – both major wheat exporters – that have snarled global supplies and pushed up prices.Many hope markets like Argentina, which had a record 2021-2022 wheat harvest of some 22.4 million metric tons, can step in to fill the shortfall, but that looks unlikely with a sharp production drop expected.Cristian Russo is the head agronomist at the Rosario Grains Exchange, which has warned about the worst wheat planting conditions in 12 years."Today anything that goes wrong with wheat is more important and means greater losses. That is what we are seeing."The exchange says sowing of the grains has been stuck at 65% due to draught that meteorologist Leonardo De Benedictis says won’t let up soon."In the short term, the rain trend is still very scarce, we don't have any large precipitation events. There might be some isolated phenomenon, but in reality, we continue with the pretty dry weather pattern."In addition to upending the global grains trade, sparking food security concerns and causing sky-high inflation, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has also exacerbated the price of fertilizer shoot-up – with Russia a major global supplier – impacting farmers all over the world.Arregui has seen fertilizer prices more than double compared to last year.“Phosphorous is around $1500, $1600 dollars the tonne. Last year it was $550, $600 or even $700 dollars.”Concerns over government intervention also loom large, with authorities keen on reining in domestic inflation of 60%.Argentina has kept a lower cap on wheat exports than last year, raised export tariffs on soymeal and oil and threatened the same for wheat, though lacks congressional support to do so.
