Accumulation of mercury and lead in the body has been linked to a range of health problems, including neurological damage, and lead has been linked to learning disabilities and behavioral problems in children. Studies have shown that mercury can adversely affect the immune system, and can be toxic to the nervous system. It is important to understand the sources of these toxins and how to reduce exposure to them. Common sources of mercury and lead include water, food, air, and industrial and medical waste. In particular, mercury can be found in fish, dental amalgams, and natural gas, while lead can be found in paint, gasoline, and lead-acid batteries. To reduce exposure to these toxins, it is important to avoid eating large fish, such as tuna, that contain high levels of mercury, and to limit the amount of lead-based paint used in the home. In addition to avoiding sources of mercury and lead, it is also important to follow good health practices, such as eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and alcohol. Finally, it is important to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns about your health, and to have your blood tested for heavy metals if you are concerned about exposure.
Today is a light day on the international data front, but we get a lot of Nordic data. In Denmark, we get CPI inflation for December 2023. We expect to see that inflation has continued to climb higher to 1.1% y/y, due to base effects from December 2022's decline in fuel and electricity prices. We expect the underlying price pressure to remain low, as it has for the last 3-4 months.
Bank of Baroda’s Q3 FY24 profit after tax of Rs 45.8 billion was in line with our expectation of Rs 46.3 billion. However, the results were below our expectation at pre-provision operating profit level with a variation of 23.2%. The miss on PPOP level was on account of lower other income (down by 20.9% YoY and 32.6% QoQ) due to a higher base effect of mark to market write back of Rs 7.5 billon last year.
The slowdown was due in part to a big drop in energy costs, reflecting the base effect of last year's sharp rise and government subsidies to curb gasoline and utility bills, in a sign of waning cost-push pressure that had kept core inflation at or above the BOJ's 2 per cent target since April 2022.

HEADLINE INFLATION could have quickened further to 3.9% in March due to positive base effects, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Eli M. Remolona, Jr. said on Wednesday. “It would be close to 4%,” Mr. Remolona told reporters on the sidelines of an event. “I think 3.9%, but we’ll see.” If realized, inflation would […]
This hope for evidence de facto won’t be evident as base effects suggest a further upward drift in inflation in the next five months. A first Fed rate cut in June seems highly premature. US yields this morning add between 4 bps (2-y) and 0.5 bps (10-y).
