China/USA - US gas to China instead of Europe? According to Handelsblatt, a billion-dollar deal between the U.S. and China could be imminent, and this in the midst of the gas crisis. Among others, Sinopec ($CHU (-1,26 %)) and the China National Offshore Oil Company ($NC2B) are said to be negotiating with U.S. exporters on the supply of liquefied natural gas. Long-term supply agreements have been demanded in the People's Republic to counteract the security of supply in China. Thus, higher prices to be achieved in China than in Europe are leading to an increasing number of tankers with liquefied natural gas heading for China. As a result, wholesale prices in Europe have also risen enormously since the beginning of the year.

IG Bau - Now there is finally a compromise between IG Bau and employers in the long-running collective bargaining negotiations.

In addition, the workers' often long journeys to the construction site could now be compensated.

By 2026, there is also to be a complete alignment of east-west salaries, which every employer can also do earlier.
