Less CO2 through power plants EUEmissions trading paying off

Status: 06/17/2021 3:36 p.m.

The European emissions trading system had an impact last year. According to figures from the Federal Environment Agency, CO2 emissions in Germany’s power plants have fallen sharply. It looks different with industry.

From Martin Polansky, ARD capital studio

The German power plants emitted 15 percent less CO2 last year than in 2019. Coal power plants in particular were shut down. The energy sector and industry in this country have reduced their CO2 emissions by 33 percent since 2013. This is shown by current figures presented by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA).

According to the head of the German Emissions Trading Authority at UBA, Jürgen Landgrebe, European emissions trading has proven its worth. “The greenhouse gas emissions of the plants in Germany have fallen significantly.” Since 2018, the EU has decided to significantly strengthen its ambitions in European emissions trading. “And as a result, the markets reacted immediately,” said Landgrebe.

Significant price increases since 2018

Emissions trading is seen as a market-based instrument to reduce CO2 emissions. The system has existed since 2005. It ensures that around 1,800 power plants and industrial companies in Germany require emission certificates in order to be allowed to emit CO2.

The certificates are traded. The number of these decreases annually, which means that their price increases gradually. As a result, CO2 emissions are also becoming more and more expensive. While the certificate price was quite low for a long time, it has increased significantly since 2018 – to more than 50 euros per ton of CO2.

Gas-fired power plants and renewable energy systems have benefited from this, said the head of the emissions trading office. Last year, more than 45 percent of the gross electricity consumption in Germany was covered by renewable energies. “The aim is for us to price fossil fuels heavily so that renewable energies also become competitive more quickly,” said Landgrebe.

Weak effects in industry

Many market observers assume that emissions trading could lead to the shutdown of coal-fired power plants in this country much earlier than 2038. This end date was agreed a good two years ago in the so-called coal compromise between industry, environmental associations and trade unions. The federal government had largely adopted the compromise in the coal exit law. In industry, however, the effect of emissions trading has so far been less pronounced. Emissions have only fallen by around eight percent since 2013 – also due to the corona pandemic. In many cases there is a lack of marketable alternatives, for example for chemical plants or the steel industry. The latter is to switch from coke to hydrogen in the long term.

Help for retrofitting

The head of the German Emissions Trading Authority advocated increasing the pressure on industry. Fewer CO2 certificates should soon be issued. In addition, public aid is available for retrofitting. Landgrebe referred to the European innovation fund, which will provide approximately 20 billion euros for corresponding investments.

“The national decarbonisation fund is also providing around two billion euros to strongly promote such technologies and bring them to market readiness,” said Landgrebe.

Special taxes on industrial imports?

The steel industry and other sectors fear that European companies could suffer competitive disadvantages if the pressure to switch becomes too strong. The argument goes that climate protection does not benefit from steel coming more from India or China in the future.

In the European Union there are therefore considerations to impose special taxes on industrial imports from regions of the world with low climate standards in order to protect domestic industry. The EU Commission wants to present plans in July on how emissions trading can be used even more. On the one hand, consideration is being given to lowering the CO2 cap more quickly in order to meet the more ambitious European climate targets. On the other hand, certificate trading could be expanded to the areas of transport and buildings.

Surcharge at the gas station

In Germany, there has been a national CO2 pricing for fuel, heating oil and natural gas since the beginning of the year. However, this system is currently not based on a fixed CO2 cap, which is gradually being lowered, but on a price surcharge, for example at the petrol station – in the hope that people will use less fuel.

Similar to the issue of phasing out coal, European emissions trading could in the long run make the special national regulations superfluous in this country – if it proves to be the more efficient and market-compliant system for reducing CO2 emissions

Adjusted net loss of 4.918 billion yuan increased employee compensation expenses The financial report shows that the cost of sales of Kuaishou increased by 22.3% from RMB 8.2 billion in the same period in 2020 to RMB 10 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Regarding the increase in cost of sales, Kuaishou provided the following explanation in the financial report: The expansion of the user base and business growth have led to an increase in user traffic, as well as increased bandwidth fees and server hosting costs, depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets, and amortization of intangible assets. On the other hand, increasing the number of employees and increasing share-based compensation expenses in order to support business growth has led to an increase in employee compensation expenses. In terms of gross profit, Kuaishou’s gross profit increased by 64.1% from RMB 4.3 billion in the same period in 2020 to RMB 7 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Gross profit margin increased from 34.2% in the same period in 2020 to 41.1% in the first quarter of 2021. Kuaishou’s explanation in the financial report was mainly due to the expansion of other businesses such as online marketing services and e-commerce business, which led to a decrease in our live broadcast revenue as a percentage of total revenue, which in turn led to a decrease in sales cost as a percentage of total revenue. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 44.0% from RMB 8.1 billion in the same period in 2020 to RMB 11.7 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Its percentage of total revenue increased from 65.0% to 68.5%, mainly due to promotion and Due to increased advertising expenses. Promotion and advertising expenditures increase in the first quarter of 2021. The explanation given by Kuaishou in the financial report was mainly due to the increase in marketing expenses and brand promotion activities for our promotion of Kuaishou Express Edition and other applications. In terms of administrative expenses, it increased by 128.2% from RMB 308.2 million in the same period in 2020 to RMB 703.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, and its percentage of total revenue increased from 2.5% to 4.1%. The explanation given by Kuaishou in the financial report was mainly due to the increase in the number of administrative staff and the increase in share-based compensation expenses to support business development, which led to an increase in employee welfare expenses. Excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, the percentages of administrative expenses to revenue in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 are 2.7% and 1.8%, respectively. In terms of R&D expenditure, it increased by 199.2% from RMB 939.5 million in the same period in 2020 to RMB 2.8 billion in the first quarter of 2021, and its percentage of total revenue increased from 7.5% to 16.5%. Kuaishou’s explanation in the financial report was mainly due to the continued investment in artificial intelligence, big data and other advanced technologies, which significantly increased the number of R&D personnel and increased share-based compensation expenses, resulting in increased employee welfare expenses. Excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, the percentages of R&D expenses to revenue in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020 are 10.8% and 6.4%, respectively. Live broadcast revenue declines, online marketing services revenue has increased significantly From the perspective of revenue composition, revenue from online marketing services and other services increased year-on-year, while revenue from live broadcast business declined year-on-year. Revenue from online marketing services increased by 161.5% from RMB 3.3 billion in the same period in 2020 to RMB 8.6 billion in the first quarter of 2021. Kuaishou’s financial report explained that it was mainly due to the expansion of the user base to attract more online marketing customers, and the strength of artificial intelligence and big data to enhance the effectiveness of online marketing services. The revenue of live broadcast business decreased by 19.5% from RMB 9 billion in the same period in 2020 to RMB 7.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021. The explanation of the Kuaishou financial report is mainly due to the fact that the average monthly paying users of live broadcast have changed from 67.0 million in the same period in 2020 to 52.4 million in the first quarter of 2021. There were more monthly paying users in the first quarter of 2020, partly due to strict quarantine during the COVID-19 outbreak, and more users turned to online social and entertainment activities. In the first quarter of 2021, the general public returned to their normal lifestyles. The time spent on activities is reduced. Revenue from other services increased by 589.1% from RMB 175.8 million in the same period in 2020 to RMB 1.2 billion in the first quarter of 2021, mainly due to the expansion of e-commerce business. Over 150 million MAU in overseas markets In terms of user volume, both the scale and activity of Q1 users in 2021 will increase significantly. In 2021, the average daily active users of Chinese apps and mini programs of Kuaishou in Q1 of 2021 reached 379.2 million, a year-on-year increase of 26.4%. The average daily usage time of each daily active user of the Kuaishou app increased to 99.3 minutes, an increase of 10.5% from the 89.9 minutes announced in the fourth quarter of last year.

Data shows that the average monthly active users in overseas markets in the first quarter of Kuaishou exceeded 100 million. In April this year, MAU (monthly active users) in overseas markets further increased to more than 150 million. Kuaishou’s overseas business began to deploy around 2017. Since 2020, Kuaishou has further adjusted its strategy, increased investment and layout in overseas markets, and demonstrated a clear determination to internationalize. At the end of 2020, the former Didi international business COO Qiu Guangyu joined Kuaishou and became the new Kuaishou international business head; in April this year, Kuaishou ushered in a new head of overseas technology, former Facebook Chinese engineering executive Wang Meihong. Kuaishou’s investment in overseas markets shows Kuaishou’s determination to enter the international market. According to statistics, the number of active users of the overseas version of Bytedance TikTok has reached more than 800 million globally.

Prices rise by five percent Highest US inflation since 2008

Status: 10.06.2021 5:44 p.m.

In the USA, consumer prices have risen as sharply as they did almost 13 years ago – which is felt above all by car buyers. The European Central Bank also expects higher inflation in the euro countries. Is it just a short-term phenomenon or is inflation now making its big comeback? In the USA there is a growing fear of ever higher prices. Some are already pulling Parallels to the 1970s when President Jimmy Carter failed to get a grip on high inflation and job misery. Although the USA is still a long way from the double-digit inflation rates of that time, the price jumps are getting bigger from month to month. After inflation had risen above four percent in April, it has now climbed to 5.0 percent in May. That is the highest rate since August 2008. Experts had only expected an increase in the cost of living of 4.7 percent. “The dreaded five has become a reality,” said market observer Thomas Altmann from investment management company QC Partners.

Federal Reserve under pressure

The strong growth impressively proves that the price surge in April was not a slip-up, said LBBW analyst Dirk Chlench. “The US Federal Reserve is coming under increasing pressure to reconsider its view that the recent price hikes are only of a temporary nature.” As in April, the prices for used cars turned out to be the biggest inflation driver. They rose again strongly – and, according to the US Department of Labor, accounted for around a third of the monthly price increase.

Core inflation at its highest level since 1992

Particularly alarming is core inflation, which excludes volatile components such as energy and food. It climbed 3.8 percent in May. The last time there was such a sharp increase was in 1992. In April, the core inflation rate was 3.0 percent. The end of the corona lockdowns and the trillion dollar cash injections by the US government have been driving inflation in the US for months. Prominent economists like Larry Summers, Olivier Blanchard and Mohamed El-Erian warn against underestimating the danger. According to Blanchard, the high government spending under US President Joe Biden could overheat the economy.

Just a passing trend?

Most economists are still looking at the trend with serenity, however. In their opinion, the development is mainly based on temporary factors. The US service sector is back in normal mode in many places. Prices for air travel and hotel accommodation are picking up again and are well above the previous year’s level, says chief economist Thomas Gitzel from VP Bank. “So there are so-called base effects at work once more.” At the same time, the shortage of semiconductors is now at least indirectly affecting consumer prices. If there are no new cars due to a lack of semiconductors, customers switched to used cars. These would have become significantly more expensive. Gitzel predicts that the price level will slowly drop from a high level in the summer months. The US Federal Reserve (Fed) claims that inflation will only pick up temporarily. Because compared to the previous year, the economic downturn in the Corona year 2020 resulted in high rates of price increase. That is why the central bank has not yet seen itself under pressure.

Little movement on Wall Street

Wall Street barely reacted to the renewed surge in inflation. The Dow Jones rose by 0.6 percent, the S&P 500 even jumped to a record high. The US dollar gained against the euro. So investors do not anticipate a tightening of monetary policy in the US for the time being. In the eurozone, too, the money locks are still strongly open. The European Central Bank (ECB) is sticking to its trillion-dollar anti-corona crisis program (PEPP) and plans to expand bond purchases in the next quarter compared to the first three months of the year. In doing so, the central bank wants to avoid tightening the financing conditions for companies, states and private households.

ECB raises inflation forecast

The rising inflation hardly worries the euro watchdogs . The higher euro will dampen inflation, said ECB President Christine Lagarde. Nonetheless, the ECB raised its inflation forecast. According to the central bank, inflation should be 1.9 percent in 2021. In March, the ECB was still assuming an increase of 1.5 percent. For 2022, the monetary authorities expect an annual price increase of 1.5 percent and for the following year unchanged at 1.4 percent. According to the ECB, inflation that is too high can lead to a price spiral. Higher prices mean consumers get less goods for their money. So they demand higher wages in order to be able to maintain their standard of living. In turn, in order to pay the higher wages, companies continue to raise the prices of their products. On the other hand, permanently low prices are seen as a risk for the economy: companies and consumers could then postpone investments – in the hope that it will soon become even cheaper. In the medium term, the ECB is aiming for an annual inflation rate of just under two percent. In Germany, the inflation rate is already above this level. In May the Consumer prices compared to the same month last year by 2.5 percent , the highest value since September 2011.

Rising producer prices “Hidden inflation” as a warning sign

As of: 06/09/2021 1:32 p.m.

In China, producer prices have risen faster than they have been in 13 years. In Germany, too, inflationary pressure from producers is growing. When will consumers feel this? From Angela Göpfert, tagesschau.de In China, producer prices rose by 9.0 percent in May, the strongest they have been since 2008. Anyone who thinks what is happening in China does not affect the German consumer is wrong. As far away as China may feel for some German consumers: The fresh data from China are fueling the inflation debate in this country, as they reveal a problem that Germany and the euro zone are also facing.

“Hidden inflation” also in Germany

In April, producer prices in the Federal Republic of Germany soared by 5.2 percent compared to the same month last year. That was the highest increase since August 2011, when prices rose sharply after the financial and economic crisis. The producer prices are considered to be an important leading indicator for the development of consumer prices. They usually only meet with far less media interest, which is why they are sometimes referred to as “hidden inflation”.

Energy prices as a driver of inflation

So the crucial question is: Will producer price inflation also reach consumers? So far, not much of that has been felt. In April consumer prices in Germany climbed by 2.0 percent compared to the same month last year. Around half of this increase was due to the rise in energy prices. A look at the recent past of the German economy also shows that consumer prices have mostly only increased significantly at a much slower pace when producer prices have risen similarly. The producer price inflation was therefore only to a small extent reflected in rising consumer prices.

Consumers have saved a lot of money

But this time everything could be different. The reason is a special effect of the corona pandemic, which has never come to fruition in this pronounced form: the deferred demand. “The corona pandemic inhibited private demand for months and led to a kind of compulsory saving. The savings surplus now amounts to over 150 billion euros and is likely to rise to around 200 billion euros by the end of 2021,” said LBBW economist Jens-Oliver Niklasch across from tagesschau.de . This corresponds to a potential increase in consumer demand of up to 17 percent compared to the pre-Corona year 2019.

Companies can pass on more costs

“If we open everything now, then this strong additional demand will meet an offer that has become more expensive in terms of costs. The probability is correspondingly high that the companies will be able to pass on a larger part of the costs,” says Niklasch. Michael Holstein, chief economist at DZ Bank, is convinced that “the manufacturing companies will certainly try to pass on part of their cost increase to their customers.”

Savers are actually expropriated

Against this background, LBBW economist Niklasch initially expects inflation rates to continue to rise over the remainder of the year. In the second half of the year, the VAT effect should come into its own: “Then we will probably reach inflation figures of over three percent.” This has very real consequences for consumers and savers in Germany: With interest rates of zero percent and an inflation rate of over two or even three percent, the real interest rates, i.e. the nominal interest rates minus the inflation rate, are negative. Savers who invest their money in overnight money accounts or savings books are actually expropriated. This is fueling the flight into stocks and real estate, which in turn continues to inflate the price bubbles in these markets.

Wage-price spiral not yet in sight

After all: LBBW expert Niklasch sees the rising inflation rates as a temporary phenomenon, the ingredients for a permanent increase are not there. “For inflation rates to rise over the long term, wages would have to go along with them; a wage-price spiral like the one in the 1970s would be needed. But we are not seeing that in Germany at the moment.” From January 2022, the inflation rate should quickly drop below the two percent mark.

Stress on industry harms the economy

But even if the rising producer prices were not or only slightly reflected in rising consumer prices, that would not bode well. If producers cannot pass the rising prices on to consumers, that would indicate weak consumption dynamics. That seems to be the case in China at the moment, as Commerzbank foreign exchange expert Hao Zhou points out. “As a result, there is a risk that industrial profits will shrink rapidly, which will weigh on the general economic outlook.” So regardless of whether the producers pass the rising producer prices on to the consumers or not: they are always a warning signal.

The move comes nearly two months after the submarine KRI Nanggala sank off the island of Bali during training and China increased its activity near the Natunas. According to analysts, the frigate deal with Italy highlights Jakarta’s concerns after being “intruded into its territorial waters” by Beijing’s ships. An Indonesian navy ship leaves to rescue the sunken submarine Kri Nanggala. Photo: Xinhua News Agency SCMP cited a leaked document revealing that the Indonesian Defense Ministry is expected to propose a budget of 124 billion USD, to be divided over 5 years. This is three times more than five years earlier ($38.8 billion). At the same time, the website of Fincantieri Shipbuilding Company (Italy) confirmed that Jakarta has signed a contract to buy 6 new FREMM multi-purpose frigates and 2 used Italian MaStrale frigates. The two MaStrale ships will be delivered after the Italian navy retires them. “The agreement underscores the importance of strengthening cooperation between the two countries in the strategic Pacific region,” Fincantieri said. “The destroyer agreement shows that European countries are increasing their engagement in the Indo-Pacific region,” said Muhamad Haripin, a researcher at the Political Research Center of the Indonesian Academy of Sciences. European countries increasingly respond to the foreign policies of US President Joe Biden, against the rise of China in the region. According to Mr. Haripin, Indonesia is in need of more patrol boats to monitor the 54,000 km long coastline and vast waters. “Indonesia is concerned about China’s growing assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region. It realizes that the rivalry between China and the US can affect regional stability but does not want to interfere. attend directly,” said Mr. Haripin. China claims to have fishing rights in the North Natuna waters and sends fishing boats and coast guard to the area, but Indonesia objected.

First, why did A shares suddenly fall sharply today? What happened in the plate?

1. It is today that the types of basic metal types have fallen sharply, and we have to find the reason from the futures market. As we all know, the stock market reflects the need for price increases, and the price increase depends on the price of the futures market. However, some time ago, Commodity prices continue to rebound, hitting historical highs or new highs in recent years, triggering market speculation on the performance of related metal-type companies, triggering a substantial rebound in stocks, and many metal-type companies in the last three years. The monthly rebound space has reached more than 50%, and even more than several times the rebound space. In the recent period of time, under the trend of continuous suppression of commodity prices, commodity prices continue to fall sharply today, and commodity prices The most direct impact of the crash is the metal-type product company. Therefore, today, the metal-type company has experienced a sharp decline, which triggered the retreat of the second-tier blue chip stocks in the intraday session. This led to a substantial dive in the Shanghai Stock Exchange index. Is the most direct reason.

2. In this round of commodity boom, the main reason is that if the inflation of the U.S. dollar triggers the market through the rise in commodity prices, nitrification and inflation, and just today, the Bank of Russia began to sell U.S. dollars in large quantities. Today, the People’s Bank of China raised the reserve requirement for foreign exchange deposits from 5% to 7%, both in response to the US dollar. Both news detonated at the same time, triggering market concerns. This is the most fundamental reason for the decline in commodity prices today. The decline in commodity prices directly affected the metal-type related companies in the A-share market. This is a chain reaction effect. The decline in bulk commodities has become a trend, and the decline in related companies has also formed a trend, but we We all know that these metal types belong to the second-tier blue chip stocks. Although they have a certain impact on the trend of the A-share market, as long as they do not experience a sharp decline or collapse, the impact on the A-shares is still particularly limited. Therefore, after a wave of time-sharing rapid diving appeared in the intraday market, it is obvious that the ChiNext index has stabilized first and rebounded. Similarly, the Shanghai Composite Index has also experienced a second bottoming at the time-sharing level, so the impact is still limited. The market The market will return to normal.

   Second, today’s decline does not mean the end of the market. From the perspective of traders, this is an opportunity!

1. In the recent period of time, I have been repeatedly emphasizing the military industry and brokerage companies, especially the brokerage sector. I think that there was a rise and fall last Friday, forming a K-line pattern of fairy guidance in the K-line pattern. Therefore, for the second For new brokerage stocks, today’s intraday time-sharing level quickly dives, but it is an opportunity. For the military industry sector, there was an intraday market decline last Friday, but it is obvious that after the decline is ushered in a larger level of rebound. Today the market has become the dominant military industry sector. For the military industry sector, I have always emphasized certainty. It is necessary to have a mid-line thinking. For opportunities in this sector, it is showing a mid-line rebound. After all, the performance of the military sector will continue to explode this year. Compared with the current stock price, there is still a lot of room. , So the decline is more of an opportunity.

1. For the Shanghai Composite Index, the level of the Shanghai Composite Index dropped rapidly at midday, but we can take a look at the trading volume this morning. The Shanghai Composite Index alone is as high as nearly 300 billion yuan, which is already at the level of the sky. You have to know that it has been maintained at around 250 billion yuan some time ago, and the trading volume in just one morning is as high as nearly 300 billion yuan. So what does it mean to increase the trading volume? It means that the market’s trading activity has increased, and trading activity has increased, which means there is an opportunity. Everyone knows that the stock market is driven by funds. If the market continues to maintain a low-volume trading volume, then the market will not have any chance at all. We all know that the judgment of a market depends on the increase in trading volume, and today’s volume of the most recent day volume level is created, which means that the market will continue to explode, so you must believe that my current decline is an opportunity. Don’t miss it.

   1. Finally, I want to tell everyone that since I saw more A shares on May 14th, I have always emphasized that this wave of market is a wave of mid-line opportunities. I also especially emphasized the Shanghai Composite Index. The gap left on May 25 is a definite gap in the market. The market has just formed, and it is certain that it will not usher in a big skyrocket immediately. The market will definitely be divided into three stages. The first is a gap with a certain start-up of the gap, which means that the market is determined, and a mid-line level rebound is to be formed. The second gap represents an explosive gap, which means that the market will start one. It continues to explode, and the volume of transactions continues to grow. At this time, it is a market with a money-making effect, and this market is often very tempting. The third is the exhaustion gap. When the market has the third gap, it often means that the market is over. The reason is that every time the Shanghai Composite Index has three gaps, it will often Within a week, a top structure is formed, a sideways shock is formed at a high position, or a huge decline occurs.

   And now the Shanghai Composite Index is only in the evolution after the first gap, and the current trading volume is still very small. Although the volume is constantly increasing, although the market is moving forward in constant volatility, the market trend is still , So isn’t it an opportunity to call back at this time? Why do you want to be like rabbits? Run away! You must remember that you are a human being, and what you have to do is to pay attention to the bargain, not just run at the bottom.

Indonesian health experts are concerned about the risk of an increase in the number of new cases, due to variants of Covid-19 and a large number of people traveling between many areas after Ramadan. Indonesian health workers vaccinate people. Photo: Reuters In another development, Indonesian President Joko Widodo said on June 9 that the government’s goal in July is to reach the milestone of 1 million doses of vaccination per day. “I want the vaccination of the population to reach 700,000 doses a day this month, and continue to increase. By July 2021, we can reach our goal of 1 million doses per day,” he said. US announced to donate 500 million doses of vaccine USA Today news agency today (June 10) said that the administration of US President Joe Biden will announce a plan to donate 500 million doses of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine to more than 90 countries over the next two years. A senior US official said Biden will announce his plan to donate the vaccines at the G7 summit in the UK this week. The vaccines will be distributed through COVAX, to help deliver them to more low-income countries. Earlier this month, Mr. Biden pledged to share about 7 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine to Asian countries and territories such as India, Thailand, Laos, Bangladesh and Vietnam. .. Russia strengthens epidemic prevention in the capital The authorities of Moscow, Russia said they will continue to strengthen disease prevention and control such as requiring people to wear medical masks and gloves in public spaces such as restaurants and bars amid the number of infections in the country. This city has recently grown strongly. Channel News Asia quoted data from the Russian Ministry of Health on June 9, saying that in the past 24 hours, the country recorded an additional 10,407 infections. In particular, in Moscow, the authorities have recorded 4,142 new infections, the highest level since mid-January. “The epidemic situation is getting worse in Moscow due to the increasing number of infections,” said official Yevgeny Danchikov. China approves 7th vaccine According to the Global Times on June 9, China approved the 7th Covid-19 vaccine. The vaccine was developed by the Biomedical Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in Kunming City, China. Yunnan province, southwestern China. According to China’s Science and Technology Daily, phase 1 and 2 clinical trials have shown that the vaccine is effective, which can quickly induce an immune response in the injected person’s body. On the same day, China’s National Health Commission (NHC) said that more than 808 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine had been distributed across China as of June 8. Some other developments on the epidemic Updated at 5 am on June 10 of the Worldometers statistics page, the Covid-19 epidemic is raging in 220 countries and territories, infecting more than 175.1 million people and claiming the lives of more than 3, 7 million patients.

Following the above decrease, the price of thin pork (wholesale pig/jaw) of grades 1 and 2 also dropped sharply by about 12,000-15,000 VND/kg, to 85,000 VND/kg grade 1 and 78,000 VND/kg grade 2, respectively.

Particularly, young ribs still keep the price of 150,000 VND/kg, while before it was at 145,000 VND/kg. Explaining the above disproportionate price reduction, Mr. Tien said that normally, when the price of pigs goes down, the price of thin pigs will also drop directly, even if the reduction is more than the price of live pigs. Particularly, mixed pork usually does not decrease immediately, but gradually, on the contrary, the increase will also be gradual because traders and traders have signed contracts with each other in advance for a fixed period of time. Retail pork prices are still high, making consumers wonder. That is also the reason why small traders in some retail markets said that the price of pork of all kinds they sold has not decreased much, some places only decreased by about 5,000 – 10,000 VND/kg. Co Nhi, a small pork trader at Go Vap market (HCMC), said that for more than a week now, she has been importing wholesale pork at a high, unchanged price, about 117,000 – 125,000 VND/kg. Therefore, the retail price of pork remains high: young ribs 180,000-190,000 VND/kg, bacon 155,000 – 160,000 VND/kg, thighs 110,000 – 120,000 VND/kg… “The wholesale price of pork has not decreased, so I still keep the selling price. Prices of ham, ribs, and bacon are still high, so customers buy less and consumption is slow. Accordingly, the amount of imported goods also decreased from 100 kg/day to only 40 kg/day. Only when the wholesale price of imported pork and snakehead meat decreases, the retail price will decrease accordingly, which can stimulate buyers to increase pork consumption again,” Ms. Nhi said. Mr. Nguyen Dang Phu – Deputy General Director of Vietnam Vissan Animal Industry Joint Stock Company, also assessed that the sales force for pork products is currently very slow, the company has to reduce the price of all kinds of young ribs and cutlets by 15%. , pork belly pulled ribs… to stimulate purchasing power.

At the beginning of the session (3 – 4 am) pork prices will be high and prices will decrease at the end of the session (6 – 7 am). Some retail sellers will watch out for wholesale markets to import “dropped goods” at cheap prices and sell cheaply to push goods; and those who import goods early, the meat is delicious, the price is higher, so they are forced to retail at a high price. “This whole week, I imported thin pigs with a constant price of 105,000 VND/kg, not 78,000 – 85,000 VND/kg. Not to mention, the purchasing power is slow, there is still a lot of meat left in the afternoon so I have to sell it all cheaply to the shops; The price at the beginning of the session, at the end of the session, is not much profit,” explained Ms. Thuyen – selling pork at Cho Base 26A.
