⭐ JSW Steel’s green push

JSW Steel plans to invest $1.2 billion to cut down carbon emissions at its plants. For this, it will partner with Germany-based SMS Group, which will provide its technology, design, engineering consultancy to execute various decarbonisation projects. JSW Steel said it aims to bring down greenhouse gas emissions by 42% to less than 1.95 tonnes of carbon dioxide per tonne of crude steel by 2030.

⭐ India’s palm oil imports jump in August

The country’s palm oil imports jumped 87% month-on-month in August. This is the highest level in 11 months after a sharp fall in prices prompted refiners to ramp up the buying. India buys palm oil mainly from Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.

⭐ US annual inflation falls marginally 

The US annual inflation slowed in August to 8.3% from 8.5% in July. This comes on the back of a 10.6% fall in gasoline prices in August. However, the consumer price index actually rose 0.1% in August as compared to July. This was mainly due to food inflation, which increased 11% year-on-year, the largest 12-month increase since May 1979.
