When 17-year-old high school student Nicole (Hohloch) took the stage at the “Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson” in Harrogate, England, her message was as simple as it was difficult to implement: “A little peace”.
The catchy song became one of the biggest hits of the 1980s and was the song of her life for Nicole – she won the song contest with it. At that time, the schoolgirl wore a black and white dotted dress, played the simple little song on her white guitar and convinced with her naturalness. The song written by Ralph Siegel (76) and Bernd opinioner (77) made Nicole famous: “This song and I, we are inseparable.”
Nicole recorded versions in several languages, including Russian: “Njemnogo mira” it says, which is becoming more topical once more in view of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine. The song may seem naïve, but the simple lyrics are touching: “A little peace, a little dreaming. And that people don’t cry that often.”
The singer from Nohfelden in Saarland still lives in her home country, has released 30 albums and sold many millions of albums. The “Song of the Century” is part of every one of their performances: “When I sing it on stage, something still happens to the people: the lighters go on, people hold hands, some even cry.”
New twist in the soap opera Halo Infinite : following repeatedly pushing back the multiplayer of its campaign mode, 343 Industries has finally given a first concrete release horizon. It is in a roadmap published on the blog game official that the studio advances a new date ” goal “ for the launch of cooperative multiplayer… But only for online. You will still have to be patient before you can explore the Halo Zeta in a buggy with your friends.
To many on Halo Infinite next August?
It is therefore the month of August 2022 that the teams of 343 Industries have set themselves the objective for the launch of the coop campaign ofHalo Infinite. The game’s campaign mode has been available since November 2021 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. A first for the franchise, Halo Infinite did not include a co-op multiplayer mode for the campaign, with its developer assuring it would be added in a post-launch update. Except here it is: Initially expected for next May, the multi coop has finally been pushed back open-ended… But might finally be released at the end of the summer.
A clarification, however: this is only the online cooperative mode, and not the local mode in split screen. Before you can pass a controller to a Spartan ally on his sofa, you will have to wait for the launch of Season 3 of content, scheduled for November 2022. Good news, however: it will soon be possible to replay the missions of the mode campaign following an update also expected for the month of August.
Faced with the many criticisms that the game has received since its release, 343 Industries wants to ensure “his commitment to making Halo Infinite the best experience in franchise history”. It is to respect this commitment that the studio has decided to extend the duration of Season 2 of content, which will therefore be extended until the penultimate month of the year in order to add “gaming experience improvements thanks to player feedback.
On the London Metal Exchange, a ton of copper for delivery in three months traded at 10,219.50 dollars around 4:30 p.m., once morest 10,315.00 dollars the previous Thursday at the close.
The prices of industrial metals, such as copper and aluminum, fell slightly over a week shortened by the long Easter weekend and trading limited by Chinese confinements.
“For metals, the Russian risk premium has eroded and attention has turned to Chinese demand due to Covid restrictions,” commented JP Morgan analysts. The city of Shanghai remains confined, weighing down the activity of the Chinese economic capital.
More than 17,000 new positive cases of coronavirus were still announced there on Friday – a figure, however, in decline.
Given the central role of the Shanghai Stock Exchange for the metals market and the importance of China as the leading importer of raw materials, “investors are waiting for the return of the Chinese to the market before taking too risky bets”, both up and down, comments Al Munro, broker at Marex.
Despite the risk of weakening Chinese demand, any downward price movement “would not last as it would be followed by a rebound boosted by government support for the Chinese economy,” analysts at JP Morgan said.
“The need to act to isolate Russia by weaning itself off its oil and gas is likely to accelerate the electrification of the world” to be able to use more renewable energy, “which will require an abundance of copper”, adds Ole Hansen, analyst at Saxo Bank.
On the London Metal Exchange (LME), a ton of copper for delivery in three months traded at 10,219.50 dollars around 2:30 p.m. GMT (4:30 p.m. in Paris), once morest 10,315.00 dollars the previous Thursday at the close. .
The sugar slides
Sugar moved away from its recent peaks over the week, penalized by the prospect of a more abundant supply in several producing countries.
Sugar prices have been buoyed since the start of the conflict in Ukraine by the idea that in Brazil, the world’s largest producer of sugar cane, the harvest will mainly be used to produce ethanol to replace traditional fuels, the price of which climb.
“The price support that comes from higher energy prices is partly offset by the prospect of higher production, especially from Asia,” commented RaboBank analysts.
The production of India, number two in the world, should thus reach a record level for the October 2021 to September 2022 season, at 36.8 million tonnes, before falling to 35.8 million tonnes, estimate the Department of l agriculture (USDA) in its annual report on the subject, published on Tuesday.
In New York, a pound of raw sugar for delivery next July was worth 19.30 cents, once morest 20.03 cents eight days earlier.
In London, a ton of white sugar for delivery in August was worth 531.30 dollars once morest 568.80 dollars the previous Thursday at the close.
Gold melts, palladium resists
The price of gold fell over the week despite the persistence of geopolitical risk, the prospect of a strict monetary policy in the United States weighing on the metal.
US Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell on Thursday did not rule out a half-point hike in May, confirming market expectations of a rapid rate hike in the United States.
“The expectation of tighter monetary policy is weighing on gold,” confirms Rupert Rowling, analyst at Kinesis Money.
This weighs on gold in two ways: the dollar rises, making commodities priced in US currency more expensive for investors using other currencies.
But above all, the rate of government bonds is rising, which makes them more attractive than gold, a metal with no return, as they compete for the interest of investors looking for safe havens.
Palladium, another precious metal, held up better to investors’ lack of interest in this asset class.
“Russia accounts for 40% of global palladium production,” note UBS analysts, who point out that available commercial reserves are limited, making the metal “very sensitive to diminished supply.”
“We believe that the recent surge in palladium prices will push consumers towards platinum,” which is less dependent on Russia, “and remain negative on the one-year price outlook,” adds UBS.
The ounce of gold traded for 1,941.61 dollars, once morest 1,978.25 dollars seven days earlier, and the ounce of palladium for 2,412.77 dollars, once morest 2,372.95 dollars .
