Normalisierung der ZinskurveZehnjährige Bundesanleihen rentieren am Freitagmorgen mit 2,18 nach 2,15 Prozent vor einer Woche. US-Treasuries gleicher Laufzeit werfen aktuell 3,70 Prozent ab nach 3,65 Prozent vergangenen Freitag. „Am langen Ende hat sich die US-Leitzinssenkung kaum bemerkbar gemacht, dafür am kurzen Ende“, stellt Arthur Brunner von der ICF Bank fest.

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The world’s oceans are home to different habitats that capture and store carbon—known as “blue carbon.” These include habitats that are typically found along coastlines, such as salt marshes and seagrasses, as well as vast seabed sediments further offshore made of mud, silt and sand. The extent to which these habitats are protected and, where possible, restored, could have huge implications for the world’s future climate.
