Hello to you. Scientists have discovered particles of plastic falling in snow in the arctic, highlighting the scale of plastic pollution. A region so many of us think of as pristine is contaminated with microscopic particles, carried on the wind from thousands of miles away. Our environment analyst Roger Harrabin travelled to the Arctic Circle as the Research Teams were working. Heres his special report. The arctic, a place of pristine beauty. Smothered with snow, clean and pure. Or, thats how it appears. But its an illusion. Arctic snow is tainted with microplastics and rubber particles and clothing fibres. Given the amount of pollution in the atmosphere, its perhaps hardly surprising that were finding microplastics in snow. But we have such a strong belief in the essential purity of this stuff that some people will find this news rather shocking. Dr Melanie Bergmann led the research. First stage involves a bit of low technology. A dessert spoon and a flask. I think were not treating
The s p 500 rises and bonds tumble. Wework is said to have slashed valuations in its upcoming share sale. Shery lets get you started lets get you a quick check on how markets closed. We have equities rallying, treasury yields rallying, strong Economic Data. The s p 500 jumped to the highest level in five weeks. It actually broke above its 50day moving average. Tech shares led the gains. From thest losers trade tensions between china and the u. S. We also have banks rallying as we saw the twoyear yield at one point seeing the biggest jump in about a decade. The focus is shifting toward that we arembers getting out tomorrow. Today, very strong private payrolls numbers, but at the same time, jobless claims numbers little changed, so the focus is what happened out of the numbers that we get tomorrow on friday here in the u. S. Futures at the moment not doing much, but lets see how we are setting up for the markets in asia. Friday, were looking at this to continue, gold holding onto losses
Them. We are 19 minutes into the trading day in the u. S. Now julie has been watching the news right now. Stocks little changed at the moment. Part of that news has been economic data. It has been next to this morning. We had jobless claims. There is no clear direction in terms of the data being positive or negative. We are seeing stocks mixed as well. Overall, not seeing much change. I wanted to check on the bond market as well to see if theyre sending more direction there. We did hear from the Federal Reserve yesterday. We are seeing a mixed picture, yield rising, and the twoyear yield is down. Even in the treasury market there is not a clear direction. U. S. Dollar is seeing a more clear direction over the last couple of days. Fifth straight down day for the bloomberg dollar. Down another quarter of a percent today. What is interesting here is only as the dollar falls oil is falling as well. The two have been moving more commonly in tandem, which is a bit unusual. Oil prices tumbled
As much the dow was down 166 points and it bounced off the levels and finished up. Should you buy this bounce, tim . What do you say . If you are short you should be concerned. I think the negative sentiment out there, first of all, still high enough where i think you can see enough of a riff. Saudis oil minister is out there on the tape saying, first of all, we actually want to destroy all the highcost producers. They want to keep largely the same policy but hes also said we do want to freeze production. You have different players saying Different Things and oil is the one that i think calls for todays move. The fact that its been holding on to this 50day moving average, actually kissed it and is now holding it and oil is saying maybe a lot of fear in the market. Stable fuel equals a stable stock market or does that mean higher stocks . I think it means higher stocks. Okay. If crude does stabilize not basically neutral. In fact it fosters the ability for stocks to move higher. I think
