1. EU tweaks Russia oil sanctions plans
In a bid to win over reluctant states, the European Commission has proposed changes to its planned embargo on Russian oil. Following the EUโs announced plans earlier this week, Hungary and other member states expressed concerns of impact on their own economies, however this adjustment allows some countries to upgrade their oil infrastructure.

2. Chinese EV NIO turns to Asian stock exchanges
The Chinese EV manufacturer NIO $NIO (+2.12%) is planning on listing its shares in Singapore, making it the third listing, following a secondary listing in Hong Kong earlier this year. This comes amid heightening geopolitical tensions between China and the USA. The US Securities Exchange Commission added over 80 companies to a list of (mostly Chinese) companies facing expulsion from US exchanges, and there has been a wave of โhomecoming listingsโ, with giants such as Alibaba joining the HKSE.

The US Federal Reserve has announced the biggest interest rate hike in more than two decades to increase their fight against high inflation. The Fed said it is raising rates by half a percentage point, following a smaller increase in March. While inflation is at a 40 year high, further increases are expected. This push is the latest attempt to curb rising costs affecting households across the world.
Major stock indices rose after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is โnot actively consideringโ raising interest rates in three-quarter percent increments, with tech stocks posting the biggest initial gains. However, US stocks then fell sharply as investors assessed the impact of the Fedโ aggressive monetary tightening.

An organisation in India has developed a pioneering model, which works together with local communities, in order to protect the snow leopards in 12 countries, including India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Among other things, the association has introduced insurance schemes to compensate herders if they lose their livestock to snow leopards - a measure designed to reduce retaliatory killings.
