The $30 million rollback

The Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed rolling back the 2024 climate disclosure rules , citing them as 'unnecessary' and 'inconsistent with a registrant-specific, materiality-based approach' for disclosures. The commission claims the rules exceed the scope of the agency's statutory authority and impose significant costs on public companies and their shareholders.

The climate disclosure rules were first approved under the Biden administration in March 2024, requiring public companies to report their carbon emissions and climate change-related risks. This includes reporting greenhouse gas emissions.

The final rule was significantly watered down from the oriinal proposal, not requiring companies to disclose emissions generated by their customers and suppliers.

A separate note: Strait of Hormuz optimism

Optimism is growing about the Strait of Hormuz, with the ptoential for a ceasefire pact between the US and Iran. If the deal is reached, it could lead to an increase in oil exports and a decrease in prices.

However, if the deal falls through, oil prices could surge even higher. The US is currently experiencing low inventories of diesel and gasoline, and demand is expected to rise in the coming months.

This could lead to a shortage of energy products and a subsequent increase in prices. Analysts have warned that the market is overpriced and that a pact is not guaranteed.
