Trump for the second time. Thats never happened to any us president before. But following an assault on the us capitol by a mob of his supporters, hes accused of threatening the integrity of the democratic system and interfering with the peaceful transition of power. Big businesses are also halting or reviewing political donations with the likes of amazon, at t, ge the latest to join the list. Investors are nervous. Joining me now is craig erlam, Senior Market analyst, oanda. Good to see you. We saw a little bit of a sell off on wall street, january 20 it seems a bit of a long way away for some . Absolutely. It has been quite the start of the year, even in our Worst Nightmare they dont think we anticipated the events that we we re anticipated the events that we were seeing last week, and it seems that Corporate America has spoken, and the interesting thing about this is the co ordinated response that we are seeing. We are not seeing one or two or three names saying this and pulling these campaign contributions, this is a wide range of massive names from across many different sectors. That sends a very, very bold and powerful message, and it is going to be very interesting to see what the response from politicians will be. I saw twitter stock tumbling 6. 5 on monday after it permanently suspended trumps account last friday. What do you anticipate will happen on Financial Markets in the to january 20. I think theres a few different factors acting as a bit of a drag on these markets right now and this is one of them, but obviously we have got a resurgence in covid i9, we got yields on us debt starting to rise and anticipation of more stimulus and that is potentially causing a bit of a concern as well. But i think when you are looking more directly at some of these stocks, names that are acting out against twitter, facebook are suffering a bit of a backlash for a couple of reasons, primarily the risk of trumps all with effectively pulling out of these stocks and also the political consequences as well. I think across the spectrum there has been growing concern about the power and influence of these tech names and they have taken a big step here in closing the account of the current us president and this really does go across the aisle in terms of some of the concerns that are now being raised about how much power and wind they do have. In asia today i noticed that markets we re today i noticed that markets were a bit wobbly at the start of trade. They have recovered a little since then. The fbi saying they are begging up security not just in saying they are begging up security notjust in washington but in other states across the us for inauguration day. To what extent, in the long term, is this going to have any impact on Financial Markets . Because their focus, really, impact on Financial Markets . Because theirfocus, really, is on the biden administration, isnt it, Going Forward . Absolutely. I thought it was quite remarkable last week that the Financial Markets acted as if nothing was happening. I think three orfour years if nothing was happening. I think three or four years ago you would have seen a very different response but like you say, even when you take into consideration what could potentially happen, it wasnt expected by any stretch of the imagination, it was kind of one of the worst diggers that we we re of the worst diggers that we were gonna see an event of this kind but when it happened the markets acted as if it was almost priced in, as of this type of thing is just what you would expect in this situation and therefore when we are looking at the final days of trumps presidency, you have to wonder exactly what it is that is going to happen to have a Significant Impact on these Financial Markets because as you say, i think they are very much looking ahead to what is to come, they are looking ahead to come, they are looking ahead to the risks of covid but also the spending promises that biden has brought in the fact that they now have effective control of the senate means that some of this could actually be delivered on. This is far more important than pressing as far as the Financial Markets is concerned and the rest of it is probably just being perceived as a political sideshow. All right, craig, thank you for being on the programme. In acute cases, patients with covid i9 need medical oxygen to support their lungs. But even though every country in the world has a supply, some problems have emerged due to the Unprecedented Demand caused by the pandemic particularly in less developed economies where hospitals are often more dependent on oxygen being delivered in cylinders rather than in tankers of liquid gas. While no one was able to foresee the demands this pandemic has put on the industry, a lack of investment in the global oxygen market hasnt helped. Now oxygen firms are calling for a relaxation of regulation to allow industrial oxygen to be used as a back up in medical emergencies. John raquet is chief executive of gasworld. Hejoins us now, good morning john. Good morning. Just tell us more john. Good morning. Just tell us more about the situation that we are in at the moment, and what needs to happen Going Forward to make sure we dont have a lack of oxygen going in the future . Yes, well, certainly. The situation is that across many countries, both developing and developed countries, we are experiencing, as you mentioned, the Unprecedented Demand in hospitals and oxygen therapy is one of the main treatments for countering this awful pandemic and virus. So, the simple thing is that the oxygen, what i would like to say is, the sufficient oxygen production in most countries around the world, it is the logistics of getting the oxygen from the Production Facility through to the actual patient in the hospitals, and that is the key, and whether you are seeing it in essex, which was mentioned yesterday, or whether you are seeing it in egypt or peru, the issueis seeing it in egypt or peru, the issue is that the more patients in hospitals than were ever foreseen for the oxygen systems they have in place, so it is really a case of how companies can get the oxygen to the patient as effectively as possible. Is the relaxation of regulation necessary, and if so, is that safe . Yes. What i would say is, oxygen, obviously we get oxygen from air, and the production process is the same across the world, to a degree. And the quality of the oxygen is normally around about the same level. The difference is, medical oxygen has to be certified, it is normally supplied particularly in developed regions in shiny cylinders and theres a lot of cost involved in getting the oxyg e n to cost involved in getting the oxygen to the patient, but the oxygen to the patient, but the oxygen itself is relatively similar in quality in most circumstances. So, companies, as you quite rightly said, have worked with governments and Health Departments in particularly those countries where there isnt sufficient medical oxygen available, to just create a temporary change to the regulations, because at the end of the day, it would be better to supply a patient with a cylinder of industrial grade oxygen than no oxygen at all, so that has been one measure to persuade the authorities that, asa persuade the authorities that, as a temporary measure, industrial oxygen is supplied in cylinders if it is a last resort. 0k, thank you for explaining, we appreciate that. Its notjust electric cars that are gaining popularity in the renewables sector. Entrepreneurs in australia are looking to the ocean for Sustainable Business opportunities, which includes fisheries, and aqua culture. The so called blue economy seeks to balance economic benefits of the oceans and create jobs with the need to safeguard the Long Term Health of the sea which covers 70 of the earths surface. Phil mercer reports from sydney. The sea could be the food bowl of the future. In jarvis bay, south of sydney, seaweed which is rich in fibre and omega 3 is grown and harvested. Australia has unique seaweeds in the ocean as it has animals and pla nts ocean as it has animals and plants on land, and these seaweeds are found nowhere else in the world. P wynberg is a marine scientist who runs australias first foodgrade farm seaweed company. The crop is grown alongside muscles and is grown alongside muscles and is used and an additive and pastor and other product. Seaweed is also reared in large ta nks seaweed is also reared in large tanks where it absorbs Carbon Dioxide waste from a processing factory. The business is small but could help to reduce the ecological of traditional farming. If we used 1096 of seaweed instead of wheat and breads and pastors, we have eliminated i breads and pastors, we have eliminated 1 million hectares of land, we have eliminated all of land, we have eliminated all of the Carbon Dioxide emissions associated with that and we have also reduced the pressure on very precious freshwater. Spy nisi urchins are another blue economy resource. They can devastate marine habitats, but a recent competition for environmental start ups in australia saw them not as a pest but as a delicacy. One of the entries has actually found a solution to extract those problematic urchins from the ocean environment and put them through a unique aqua culture branching process to sell them high end restaurants all around the world. Seeing not only the problem but the solution and of course the economic opportunities. Aquaculture in australia is nominated by the farming of salmon, tuna and oysters but researchers say the industry should be far, far bigger. Australia has the worlds Third Largest exclusive economic zone, with access to vast areas of ocean. By 2050 we will have 10 billion people on the planet and half of the food they eat will come from the ocean so we really do need to Pay Attention to the way that we manage the blue economy. Generating wealth from the ocean but in a sustainable way. Farming at sea has its challenges. Infrastructure has to be robust as do supply chains and biosecurity. But get these things right and the ocean might just be these things right and the ocean mightjust be the next great economic frontier. Lets get some of the days other news.
