— The U.S. government downgraded Russia to a “non-market” economy. This could result in higher tariffs on some Russian imports.
— The U.S. dollar dropped 2.2% last Thursday, its largest single day drop since 2009 on better-than-expected inflation data.
— Issuances of green, social, sustainability and sustainability linked (GSSS) bonds grew to a 16% share of issued bonds in Q3 2022, a new record.
