☆ Green Steel Is Coming. Europe Is Leading the Charge Thanks to New Carbon Taxes.
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-26 | by ( Yusuf Khan | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +7 min

The need for conversion to low-carbon steel production is greater in Europe, where 57% of steel is produced in coal-fired blast furnaces. Swedish-based startup H2 Green Steel has signed deals to supply low-carbon steel to IKEA, Mercedes-Benz , BMW and Scania. Customers of H2 Green Steel have been willing to support the project based on their own green targets and their end-customers’ willingness to pay a green premium, he said. H2 Green Steel said it would charge a €150 premium, while Swedish steelmaker SSAB expects to charge double that. Research from the Rocky Mountain Institute suggests the IRA will encourage green steel investments that would, by 2030, produce about eight million tons of low-carbon steel, or nearly 10% of U.S. steel demand.

☆ Brazilian Lawmakers Advance Country’s Regulated Carbon Market
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-26 | by ( Paulo Trevisani | Luciana Magalhaes | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +5 min

A Brazilian carbon market would be an important addition to an expanding network of cap-and-trade systems around the world. Brazilian agricultural producers and miners hope the carbon market will help overcome headwinds in developed markets where consumers often associate them with deforestation. Exporters of manufactured goods using Brazilian grains, meat, iron-ore and other raw materials could also get a boost if carbon regulation improves the country’s environmental credentials, according to Brazilian business executives. Sen. Tereza Cristina —a former agriculture and livestock minister—defended the decision to exclude the sector from carbon regulation. “The farm sector isn’t ready for the regulated carbon market,” she said.

A one-time feeIf all you need is a comprehensive financial plan—a look at how your current savings, including your 401(k) and investments stack up—you don’t need to retain a financial advisor.

You want reassurancePlenty of investors work with a financial advisor for less tangible reasons too. ”It’s important that you get quality fiduciary advice on all those subjects because they’re irrevocable.”When a financial advisor probably isn’t worth the costThere are several financial areas where paying for a financial advisor may not be worth the cost, especially if you are willing to do a little basic research and have the discipline to stick to your goals.

☆ Big Banks Are Making Huge Profits Off Today’s Savings Rates—Are You?
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Mallika Mitra | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +6 min

That’s because many big banks have been playing a ‘do as I say, not as I do’ game with customers. Many large bricks-and-mortar banks pay even less—Wells Fargo, for example, pays 0.15% on its standard savings account while JP Morgan Chase pays 0.01%. Evergreen Bank—a locally-owned bank serving the Chicago suburbs—is currently offering a 5.25% APY on savings accounts, one of the best savings account rates for October. Compare that to what big banks offer and you can see the appeal of looking for alternatives to the big banks. For some of the current best interest rate deals, check out our list of the best savings accounts and CD rates.
