Bloomberg Launches Climate Risk Management Solution To Help Investors Evaluate The Financial Impacts Of Climate Change On Portfolios
The new solution is part of Bloomberg's award-winning Multi-Asset Risk Management suite MARS, which is used by over 900 firms worldwide
Bloomberg today announced its risk management solutions suite has been expanded with the launch of a new module, MARS Climate, to help portfolio and risk managers assess their exposure to the financial impacts of climate change. The new solution adds to Bloomberg's physical and transition risk offering.
Regulators and central banks across the world increasingly demand that financial firms assess their exposure to climate risks, driven by growing evidence of the economic impacts of climate change. A study by Swiss Re estimates that economic damages caused by natural catastrophes have doubled in real terms over the past two decades, reaching $280bn globally in 2023. As the climate risk regulatory landscape evolves, coupled with the need to integrate climate into risk management systems, firms need tools to manage climate-related risk and comply with regulatory reporting requirements.
To address this need, the new MARS Climate module aims to help buy-side and sell-side firms assess, quantify and manage climate risk and opportunities across portfolios. The solution will enable users to transparently analyze various climate scenarios based on different integrated assessment models, consistent with the framework set forth by the Network for Greening Financial System (NGFS). MARS Climate's transition risk model is powered by BloombergNEF's Transition Risk Assessment Company Tool (TRACT), which projects company revenue risk and opportunities, combining companies' activities, supply chain exposure and regional footprint under different NGFS climate scenarios. Initially users will be provided with a report assessing the financial impact of climate-related risk down to security level, split out by physical acute, physical chronic and transition risk.
Dharrini Bala Gadiyaram, Global Head of Risk Product at Bloomberg said, 'Portfolio and risk managers increasingly look to perform climate risk analysis alongside other financial risk assessments to manage risk and regulatory reporting. As we continue to expand our climate risk solutions across Bloomberg, the latest addition to our widely used risk management offering, MARS Climate, will enable users to assess portfolio vulnerabilities and opportunities related to climate change.'
Customers will be able to access MARS Climate through the Bloomberg Terminal via {MARS CLIMATE }. MARS provides risk analytics for cash and derivatives securities and enables firms to manage front office risk, market risk, XVA counterparty risk, credit risk, hedge accounting, as well as collateral and SIMM requirements – all by using a common pricing and data library, providing consistency from front to back.

Bloomberg Terminal users also benefit from access to Bloomberg's broader sustainable finance offering which spans company-reported climate and other environment-related indicators such as GHG emissions forecasts. In addition, users have access to sustainability research from Bloomberg Intelligence and BloombergNEF. Clients can readily access this data on the Bloomberg Terminal or across their enterprise via Data License at data.Bloomberg.com for use in proprietary or third-party applications.

Crude Prices Pressured on Reduced Concern About an Imminent US Strike on Iran
July WTI crude oil (CLN25) today is down -0.26 (-0.35%), and July RBOB gasoline (RBN25) is up +0.0057 (+0.25%). Crude oil and gasoline prices today are mixed, with gasoline posting a 10-1/4 month high. Today's weaker dollar is bullish for energy prices. Also, concern about the Israel-Iran conflict is bullish for crude after Bloomberg reported Thursday that US officials are preparing for a possible strike on Iran.

Subscribe today! However, crude prices were undercut after President Trump said he would wait two weeks to give diplomacy a chance before deciding if the US should attack Iran. Crude prices were also pressured on signs that Iran is ready to negotiate after Reuters reported that the Iranian government is ready to discuss limitations on uranium enrichment. So far, Iran has not impeded ship movement through the vital Strait of Hormuz, which handles about 20% of the world's daily crude shipments. However, a French naval liaison group stated that navigational signals from over 1,000 vessels a day moving through the Strait had been disrupted due to "extreme jamming" of signals from the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, which led to a collision of two tankers on Tuesday near the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices continue to be undercut by tariff concerns after President Trump said last Wednesday that he intends to send letters to dozens of US trading partners within one to two weeks, setting unilateral tariffs ahead of the July 9 deadline that came with his 90-day pause. A decline in crude oil held worldwide on tankers is bullish for oil prices. Vortexa reported Monday that crude oil stored on tankers that have been stationary for at least seven days fell by -7.2% w/w to 73.97 million bbl in the week ended June 13. Concern about a global oil glut is negative for crude prices. On May 31, OPEC+ agreed to a 411,000 bpd crude production hike for July after raising output by the same amount for June. Saudi Arabia has signaled that additional similar-sized increases in crude output could follow, which is viewed as a strategy to reduce oil prices and punish overproducing OPEC+ members, such as Kazakhstan and Iraq. OPEC+ is boosting output to reverse the 2-year-long production cut, gradually restoring a total of 2.2 million bpd of production. OPEC+ had previously planned to restore production between January and late 2025, but now that production cut won't be fully restored until September 2026. OPEC May crude production rose +200,000 bpd to 27.54 million bpd. Wednesday's EIA report showed that (1) US crude oil inventories as of June 13 were -10.2% below the seasonal 5-year average, (2) gasoline inventories were -1.8% below the seasonal 5-year average, and (3) distillate inventories were -16.7% below the 5-year seasonal average. US crude oil production in the week ending June 14 was unchanged w/w at 13.431 million bpd, modestly below the record high of 13.631 million bpd from the week of December 6. Baker Hughes reported last Friday that active US oil rigs in the week ending June 13 fell by -3 to a 3-3/4 year low of 439 rigs. Over the past 2-1/2 years, the number of US oil rigs has fallen from the 5-1/4 year high of 627 rigs posted in December 2022.

Amazon Ends Speedy Delivery by Kia Soul in Favor of Gig Workers
(Bloomberg) -- Inc. is ending an experiment that saw drivers in Kia Souls make same-day deliveries and will rely on its network of gig-economy workers instead. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' One Architect's Quest to Save Mumbai's Heritage From Disappearing JFK AirTrain Cuts Fares 50% This Summer to Lure Riders Off Roads NYC Congestion Toll Cuts Manhattan Gridlock by 25%, RPA Reports Taser-Maker Axon Triggers a NIMBY Backlash in its Hometown In the test, Amazon contract delivery firms in several US states deployed drivers for four- or five-hours shifts in the boxy little Kia Corp. hatchbacks. The trial, which began to roll out in 2023, gave the world's largest online retailer more control over deliveries. If widely deployed, it also could have reduced the company's reliance on Amazon Flex drivers, who use their own cars to ferry orders to customers' homes. Those gig workers will now pick up the affected routes. Owners of the participating Delivery Service Partners, as Amazon calls its contract delivery firms, were recently notified that the quick-delivery program will be winding down over the next few months, the company confirmed. 'After more than a year of gathering feedback from customers, DSPs, and teams at Same-Day Delivery facilities, we've determined that the DSP model isn't currently the right fit for Same-Day Delivery and we'll be moving away from it,' Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly said in an emailed statement. 'We appreciate the contributions from participating DSPs and their teams, and we'll provide support throughout this transition.' Amazon tested the concept in Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas and Washington. Kelly said the affected DSPs can operate other Amazon routes and that the company will help drivers get jobs with other firms, if necessary. The program's vehicles were rentals and will be returned to the vendor, he said. Amazon, which started out relying exclusively on the US Postal Service and other carriers to get goods to customers, in the last decade built a sprawling logistics operation centered around small businesses. These DSPs lease blue Amazon Prime-branded vans and employ the drivers, who might deliver 200 or more packages a day. Flex drivers opt in via a smartphone app and typically deliver packages from Amazon's same-day delivery depots. Both programs have been criticized by workers' advocates who contend that the drivers, operating at Amazon's direction, should be classified as company employees.
