An Indian state's move to block General Motors (GM) from shutting a plant and exiting the country defies the state's business friendly image and sends a "concerning message" to potential future investors, the U.S. automaker said on Friday. GM's comments came after authorities in Maharashtra earlier this week rejected the automaker's application to cease operations at its plant in the western Indian state amid protests by workers who demanded GM continue production or keep them on the payroll indefinitely, according to local media. "It sends a concerning message to any potential future investors who want to bring jobs and investment to the state."
* Brazilian real set for weekly losses of 2% * Dollar gains for the first time in four days * Chilean peso outperforms Latam peers for the week By Shreyashi Sanyal Jan 22 (Reuters) - Most Latin American currencies fell on Friday after the dollar snapped a three-day losing streak, with Brazil's real leading weekly losses among regional peers as worries grew about the state of the country's public finances and fiscal reforms. The real led declines on the day, falling 1.2% as a lack of clarity about Brazil's state finances and slowing progress of fiscal reforms overshadowed what investors saw as a hawkish move -- the country's central bank removing its "forward guidance" to keep interest rates low. Analysts believe record-low interest rates should help quicken Brazil's economic recovery, but against the backdrop of rising coronavirus infections and a slower-than-expected pace of vaccinations, the real remains susceptible to corrections.

HGTV’s Alison Victoria Lends Expert Insights to Annual Trex Forecast Alison Victoria Alison Victoria identifies five trends expected to shape the outdoor living landscape in 2021. WINCHESTER, Va., Jan. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Now, more than ever, outdoor living is in! While homeowners have increasingly invested time and money into their yards in recent years, 2020 saw interest in outdoor living spike to unprecedented levels as homeowners everywhere adjusted to a new normal by reimagining how to use and enjoy their exterior spaces. As a result, the outdoor living design trends for 2021 have never been more inventive. “The COVID-19 pandemic has prioritized how we view and use our homes,” said Leslie Adkins, vice president of marketing for Trex Company, the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing and a leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products. “With people spending more time at home, outdoor space has never been more important. It’s where we start our days with a morning cup of coffee, where we enjoy some much-needed fresh air over an al fresco lunch break, where we relish a change of scenery after a day of screen fatigue, and where we can visit safely with friends and family.” Each year, Trex captures input from consumers, contractors, retailers and industry insiders to compile its annual Outdoor Living Forecast. For 2021, the brand teamed with celebrity designer Alison Victoria, star of HGTV’s “Windy City Rehab,” “Rock the Block” and “Ty Breakers,” to identify five trends expected to shape the outdoor living landscape in 2021. 1. Outdoor OfficesAmong the top trends predicted for the coming year is the emergence of outdoor workspaces. With working from home and remote learning expected to continue well into 2021, contractors report increased interest in outdoor spaces that can comfortably and functionally accommodate professionals and students. Requests for stylish sheds and backyard cottages are on the rise. Pergolas, too, are in high demand. In fact, leading home design site Houzz is calling 2021 “the year of the pergola1” due to their versatility and affordability. A relatively easy addition to any deck or yard, a pergola creates the look and feel of an outdoor room while adding a distinct architectural element. Of course, its main purpose is providing shade – essential for enhancing visibility of laptop screens and devices, as well as offering cool relief on hot days. “When it comes to backyard design, pergolas remain on-trend due to their limitless design possibilities,” notes Victoria. “They are great for adding definition – and drama – to any deck.” 2. Expanded Elbow RoomDuring the past year, our homes have become offices, classrooms, fitness facilities and rehearsal spaces. It’s no wonder many homeowners (and occupants) find themselves suffering from cabin fever and desperate for some extra elbow room. One simple solution is to optimize the space beneath an elevated deck, an often overlooked area, by adding an under-deck drainage system. Designed to divert water away from the foundation, systems like Trex® RainEscape® protect a deck’s substructure from moisture and create dry space underneath the deck surface that can be used for any number of purposes – from storing seasonal items to serving as bonus living space outfitted with everything from furniture, accessories, lighting and entertainment components, to workout equipment, toys and games for at-home “recess,” or even a dance floor, mirror and ballet bar! 3. Take the PlungeAnother trend driven by the pandemic has been the dramatic increase in residential pools, spas and water features. Between travel restrictions and indefinite closings of community pool facilities, homeowners across the country are taking the plunge and installing swimming pools, hot tubs and ponds in their backyards2. To give these additions a finished look, surround them with high-performance, low-maintenance composite decking. Unlike wood, composite decking won’t rot, warp, stain or fade and never needs sanding, staining or sealing. “Trex is my go-to material for outdoor projects,” says Victoria. “It delivers the beauty of wood without the environmental impact, the labor-intensive upkeep or the natural deterioration over time. I also love that it’s made from 95% recycled materials and only needs an occasional cleaning with soap and water to maintain its beautiful appearance for decades.” 4. Luxury StaycationFueled by the drastic decline in domestic and international travel over the past year, homeowner interest in replicating the sophisticated style and comforts of a luxury hotel or resort in their homes has continued to grow. From plush towels and perfectly plumped pillows to outdoor accents like composite cladding, fire tables, water features and industrial railing, commercially inspired designs can give any home environment the essence of an extravagant staycation. “Homeowners are finding inspiration in commercial settings like upscale hotels and restaurants,” Victoria comments. “Outdoors, this trend is seen in modern railing styles, such as Trex Signature® Railing. The durable, low-maintenance aluminum railing collection delivers sleek sophistication in a range of designs, including horizontal rods, mesh panels and glass inserts.” 5. Give It a Try with DIYThe DIY category exploded in 2020, encouraging homeowners to roll up their sleeves and tackle even the most challenging projects – a development experts expect to continue in 2021. Industry analysts are predicting DIY home projects and repairs will shift from a trend to long-term habit3 with ambitious DIYers turning to YouTube and sites like Decks.com for inspiration, motivation and how-to tips – saving time and money, and earning some serious bragging rights. “If you can use a hammer and a saw, you can upgrade your backyard with composite decking,” states Victoria. “Building or resurfacing a deck with Trex is a doable DIY project that can be completed over the course of a weekend or two with just a little know-how and the help of a few friends.” For more outdoor living ideas and inspiration, go to Trex.com.

(Bloomberg) -- Spending by the global oil industry outside the U.S. is poised to rebound later this year, according to its largest hired hands, the latest sign of growing confidence in the outlook for crude prices.Schlumberger, the largest oil services company, posted better-than-expected earnings Friday and forecast an increase in overseas spending by customers in the next quarter. Earlier in the week, Halliburton Co. said markets outside North America may see double-digit growth in the second half of 2021, while Baker Hughes Co. predicted a modest recovery in Latin America, the North Sea and the Middle East.The energy sector remains wary following a calamitous 2020 that saw capital expenditures slashed as energy prices plunged. The three largest oil services companies -- who help explorers map underground reservoirs and drill their wells -- fired tens of thousands of workers and took multibillion-dollar writedowns. They’re either lessening their exposure to the shrinking U.S. shale patch and turning their attention overseas, where they see a quicker recovery.That strategy is looking like it’s paying off. Adding wind to their sails is the recovery in crude prices in the first few weeks of 2021 following OPEC+ production curbs and optimism about the recovery in global demand from Covid-19.“We believe this sets the stage for oil demand to recover to 2019 levels no later than 2023, or earlier,” Schlumberger Chief Executive Officer Olivier Le Peuch said in the statement. “Absent a setback in these macro assumptions, this will translate to meaningful activity increases both in North America and internationally.”After selling some North American assets last year and cutting almost one-quarter of the company’s workforce, Houston- and Paris-based Schlumberger now expects international markets to generate up to 80% of its revenue. It posted its worst fourth quarter revenue sales in 15 years. Still, profit for the period, excluding one-time items, was 22 cents a share, exceeding the average of analysts’ estimates in a Bloomberg survey. The stock fell 0.1% in pre-market trading at 8:46 a.m. in New York.The earnings beat is significant and the “outlook is constructive and consistent with what we have heard from HAL and BKR earlier this week,” Kurt Hallead, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, wrote Friday in a note to investors.Schlumberger has been asking investors for more patience. It warned three months ago that it could take until late 2021 to restore profits to 2019 levels. But the company ended up achieving that goal by the end of 2020, posting an adjusted margin of 20% for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, the same level as the fourth quarter of 2019.“Overseas drilling activity held up better than in North America in 2020, yet it’s taking longer to recover from Covid-19-related impacts,” Scott Levine and Justin Rothhaupt, analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence, said in a report. “International upstream spending could decrease almost 20% this year, a bit weaker than anticipated at around the start of the pandemic.”For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

Web infrastructure company Cloudflare is releasing a new tool today that aims to provide a way for health agencies and organizations globally tasked with rolling out COVID-19 vaccines to maintain a fair, equitable and transparent digital queue – completely free of charge. "The wife of one of Cloudflare’s executives in our Austin was trying to register her parents for the COVID-19 vaccine program there," explained Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince via email. After realizing the urgency of the need for something like this tool to help alleviate the many infrastructure challenges that come up when you're trying to vaccinate a global population against a viral threat as quickly as possible, Cloudflare changed their release timetable and devoted additional resources to the project.
European Union countries could call on Monday for a global phasing out of polluting coal power and an end to fossil fuel subsidies as the bloc makes climate change a central part of its foreign policy, according to a draft document seen by Reuters. The statement, which EU ministers aim to finalise on Monday, would commit to an aggressive line on climate diplomacy - by discouraging other countries from investing in fossil fuels and forging "high-ambition" alliances with large economies to spur faster emissions cuts. Countries including China, Japan and South Africa have pledged to eventually cut their net carbon emissions to zero - a commitment U.S. President Joe Biden also made in his election campaign.
A year ago, I pondered whether the flood of venture capital to the real estate and proptech sector could set a new record in 2020. Clearly, I didn't anticipate a global pandemic that brought much of the real estate sector to a full stop early in the year and continues to drag on commercial real estate. The Center for Real Estate Technology & Innovation (CRETI) tabulated the amount of money venture capital invested in proptech start-ups in 2020 and found $23.8 billion was invested, a decrease of nearly 25% worldwide.
