The specific process by which Google enshittified its search

I'm touring my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me SATURDAY (Apr 27) in MARIN COUNTY, then Winnipeg (May 2), Calgary (May 3), Vancouver (May 4), and beyond!

All digital businesses have the technical capacity to enshittify: the ability to change the underlying functions of the business from moment to moment and user to user, allowing for the rapid transfer of value between business customers, end users and shareholders:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/19/twiddler/

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/24/naming-names/#prabhakar-raghavan

Which raises an important question: why do companies enshittify at a specific moment, after refraining from enshittifying before? After all, a company always has the potential to benefit by treating its business customers and end users worse, by giving them a worse deal. If you charge more for your product and pay your suppliers less, that leaves more money on the table for your investors.

Of course, it's not that simple. While cheating, price-gouging, and degrading your product can produce gains, these tactics also threaten losses. You might lose customers to a rival, or get punished by a regulator, or face mass resignations from your employees who really believe in your product.

Companies choose not to enshittify their products…until they choose to do so. One theory to explain this is that companies are engaged in a process of continuous assessment, gathering data about their competitive risks, their regulators' mettle, their employees' boldness. When these assessments indicate that the conditions are favorable to enshittification, the CEO walks over to the big "enshittification" lever on the wall and yanks it all the way to MAX.

Some companies have certainly done this – and paid the price. Think of Myspace or Yahoo: companies that made themselves worse by reducing quality and gouging on price (be it measured in dollars or attention – that is, ads) before sinking into obscure senescence. These companies made a bet that they could get richer while getting worse, and they were wrong, and they lost out.

But this model doesn't explain the Great Enshittening, in which all the tech companies are enshittifying at the same time. Maybe all these companies are subscribing to the same business newsletter (or, more likely, buying advice from the same management consultancy) (cough McKinsey cough) that is a kind of industry-wide starter pistol for enshittification.

I think it's something else. I think the main job of a CEO is to show up for work every morning and yank on the enshittification lever as hard as you can, in hopes that you can eke out some incremental gains in your company's cost-basis and/or income by shifting value away from your suppliers and customers to yourself.

We get good digital services when the enshittification lever doesn't budge – when it is constrained: by competition, by regulation, by interoperable mods and hacks that undo enshittification (like alternative clients and ad-blockers) and by workers who have bargaining power thanks to a tight labor market or a powerful union:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/09/lead-me-not-into-temptation/#chamberlain

When Google ordered its staff to build a secret Chinese search engine that would censor search results and rat out dissidents to the Chinese secret police, googlers revolted and refused, and the project died:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfly_(search_engine)

When Google tried to win a US government contract to build AI for drones used to target and murder civilians far from the battlefield, googlers revolted and refused, and the project died:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/01/technology/google-pentagon-project-maven.html

What's happened since – what's behind all the tech companies enshittifying all at once – is that tech worker power has been smashed, especially at Google, where 12,000 workers were fired just months after a $80b stock buyback that would have paid their wages for the next 27 years. Likewise, competition has receded from tech bosses' worries, thanks to lax antitrust enforcement that saw most credible competitors merged into behemoths, or neutralized with predatory pricing schemes. Lax enforcement of other policies – privacy, labor and consumer protection – loosened up the enshittification lever even more. And the expansion of IP rights, which criminalize most kinds of reverse engineering and aftermarket modification, means that interoperability no longer applies friction to the enshittification lever.

Now that every tech boss has an enshittification lever that moves very freely, they can show up for work, yank the enshittification lever, and it goes all the way to MAX. When googlers protested the company's complicity in the genocide in Gaza, Google didn't kill the project – it mass-fired the workers:

https://medium.com/@notechforapartheid/statement-from-google-workers-with-the-no-tech-for-apartheid-campaign-on-googles-indiscriminate-28ba4c9b7ce8

Enshittification is a macroeconomic phenomenon, determined by the regulatory environment for competition, privacy, labor, consumer protection and IP. But enshittification is also a microeconomic phenomenon, the result of innumerable boardroom and product-planning fights within companies in which would-be enshittifiers try to do things that make the company's products and services shittier wrestle with rivals who want to keep things as they are, or make them better, whether out of principle or fear of the consequences.

Those microeconomic wrestling-matches are where we find enshittification's heroes and villains – the people who fight for the user or stand up for a fair deal, versus the people who want to cheat and wreck to make things better for the company and win bonuses and promotions for themselves:

https://locusmag.com/2023/11/commentary-by-cory-doctorow-dont-be-evil/

These microeconomic struggles are usually obscure, because companies are secretive institutions and our glimpses into their deliberations are normally limited to the odd leaked memo, whistleblower tell-all, or spectacular worker revolt. But when a company gets dragged into court, a new window opens into the company's internal operations. That's especially true when the plaintiff is the US government.

Which brings me back to Google, the poster-child for enshittification, a company that revolutionized the internet a quarter of a century ago with a search-engine that was so good that it felt like magic, which has decayed so badly and so rapidly that whole sections of the internet are disappearing from view for the 90% of users who rely on the search engine as their gateway to the internet.

Google is being sued by the DOJ's Antitrust Division, and that means we are getting a very deep look into the company, as its internal emails and memos come to light:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/03/not-feeling-lucky/#fundamental-laws-of-economics

Google is a tech company, and tech companies have literary cultures – they run on email and other forms of written communication, even for casual speech, which is more likely to take place in a chat program than at a water-cooler. This means that tech companies have giant databases full of confessions to every crime they've ever committed:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/03/big-tech-cant-stop-telling-on-itself/

Large pieces of Google's database-of-crimes are now on display – so much, in fact, that it's hard for anyone to parse through it all and understand what it means. But some people are trying, and coming up with gold. One of those successful prospectors is Ed Zitron, who has produced a staggering account of the precise moment at which Google search tipped over into enshittification, which names the executives at the very heart of the rot:

https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

Zitron tells the story of a boardroom struggle over search quality, in which Ben Gomes – a long-tenured googler who helped define the company during its best years – lost a fight with Prabhakar Raghavan, a computer scientist turned manager whose tactic for increasing the number of search queries (and thus the number of ads the company could show to searchers) was to decrease the quality of search. That way, searchers would have to spend more time on Google before they found what they were looking for.

Zitron contrasts the background of these two figures. Gomes, the hero, worked at Google for 19 years, solving fantastically hard technical scaling problems and eventually becoming the company's "search czar." Raghavan, the villain, "failed upwards" through his career, including a stint as Yahoo's head of search from 2005-12, a presiding over the collapse of Yahoo's search business. Under Raghavan's leadership, Yahoo's search market-share fell from 30.4% to 14%, and in the end, Yahoo jettisoned its search altogether and replaced it with Bing.

For Zitron, the memos show how Raghavan engineered the ouster of Gomes, with help from the company CEO, the ex-McKinseyite Sundar Pichai. It was a triumph for enshittification, a deliberate decision to make the product worse in order to make it more profitable, under the (correct) belief that the company's exclusivity deals to provide search everywhere from Iphones and Samsungs to Mozilla would mean that the business would face no consequences for doing so.

It a picture of a company that isn't just too big to fail – it's (as FTC Chair Lina Khan put it on The Daily Show) too big to care:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaDTiWaYfcM

Zitron's done excellent sleuthing through the court exhibits here, and his writeup is incandescently brilliant. But there's one point I quibble with him on. Zitron writes that "It’s because the people running the tech industry are no longer those that built it."

I think that gets it backwards. I think that there were always enshittifiers in the C-suites of these companies. When Page and Brin brought in the war criminal Eric Schmidt to run the company, he surely started every day with a ritual, ferocious tug at that enshittification lever. The difference wasn't who was in the C-suite – the difference was how freely the lever moved.

On Saturday, I wrote:

The platforms used to treat us well and now treat us badly. That's not because they were setting a patient trap, luring us in with good treatment in the expectation of locking us in and turning on us. Tech bosses do not have the executive function to lie in wait for years and years.

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/22/kargo-kult-kaptialism/#dont-buy-it

Someone on Hacker News called that "silly," adding that "tech bosses do in fact have the executive function to lie in wait for years and years. That's literally the business model of most startups":

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40114339

That's not quite right, though. The business-model of the startup is to yank on the enshittification lever every day. Tech bosses don't lie in wait for the perfect moment to claw away all the value from their employees, users, business customers, and suppliers – they're always trying to get that value. It's only when they become too big to care that they succeed. That's the definition of being too big to care.

In antitrust circles, they sometimes say that "the process is the punishment." No matter what happens to the DOJ's case against Google, its internal workers have been made visible to the public. The secrecy surrounding the Google trial when it was underway meant that a lot of this stuff flew under the radar when it first appeared. But as Zitron's work shows, there is plenty of treasure to be found in that trove of documents that is now permanently in the public domain.

When future scholars study the enshittocene, they will look to accounts like Zitron's to mark the turning points from the old, good internet to the enshitternet. Let's hope those future scholars have a new, good internet on which to publish their findings.

Disabled Queer Salish Sea Artist Seeking Some Community Support

Hi lovely people! Would you mind boosting my Salish Sea marine science art? My contract job is on an unexpected hiatus until sometime in July and so my income the next couple months is really dependent on the markets I'm doing and online sales. Scroll for photos of my work.

https://shop.noncompliantcyborg.com/

Other circumstances stuff under the cut

The timing of this is already additionally tough because mid-June I start my summer project as a visiting researcher at Rosario Beach Marine Lab, which I was (am still hopefully) going to be doing community fundraising for both in my local area and online but I've been delaying actively seeking that support out.

This is both because I wanted to have a solid equipment budget confirmed first and then also I've been feeling some serious impostor syndrome with a pretty hefty side of "there are so many humanitarian crises and survival needs fundraisers that people should be funding, how can I ask anyone to support me in doing naturalist documentation and 3D imaging of Salish Sea animals for sci-comm right now?"

It doesn't help that now that I've gotten some equipment quotes it's looking like roughly 5k for just the big ticket items and I don't know how much little incidental stuff will add up and that doesn't even consider any compensation for my labor. Also with the lag time on getting said equipment unless I magically fundraised that super fast stuff the time I'd have to complete the build and collect data could be very tight.

My back up plan is to just do a lot of studio type photography and videography for sci-comm content and art prints. Also embryology work if they have the proper dish-ware I can check out. But I'm still worried about what it does to people's perceptions of me if I don't pull off the project I wanted to. Being disabled and having to create your own non-traditional opportunities and coordinate everything that goes into that because science largely is inaccessible is exhausting. And it's extra exhausting trying to do all that while also trying to piece together accessible ways to financially support yourself.

Anyways, thank you for any support or solidarity you can offer whether through sharing, getting art, or otherwise.

If Alpha-Nine had civilian jobs what do you think they would be?

Ooohhg, fun question!! 😁 I actually think about this a lot, although in a very unserious manner. Sorry this took a while too, I struggle with writing (like heavy on the struggle) but I tried my best to give them in-character answers. Anyways! here's what I have for you…

Buck — for Buck, there's the obvious answer of fisherman. He's had a lot of experience with fishing and seamanship in his childhood, plus he has plenty of strength and stamina now as a Spartan. I don't see him being a particularly smart man so anything that requires higher education would not be a great fit for him. He could be a nice athlete coach too. We don’t know if Buck is interested in any sport but if we’re weighing in his role as Fireteam Osiris’ advisor and mentor, it could work.

Dare — if I'm being honest, it's hard to see her outside of ONI but considering she's a Section One agent, I think she’d be a good fit for a career like archivist, data analyst, or researcher. She might also make a good detective.

Romeo — he'd for sure be a business owner of some kind. I don’t see him being anyone's employee since he can be a little abrasive with authority figures. So it goes without saying that being in a position where he has autonomy/independence is best for him – plus I think he’s smart enough. Also taking into account his previous experience as a Merchant Marine, he could become the marketing specialist behind his business.

And a silly answer I will not give context for, Bartender. (Maybe bar owner…?)

Dutch — He could continue pursuing religious studies and philosophy. We know he studied religion and philosophy prior to being drafted, and sometime before then, he was a truck driver. A religious study degree could lead him to do non-profits or social work, but there's nothing directly related to the degree that fits Dutch. It's the same story with philosophy – though it's useful for understanding things like business or economics. That being said, why not become business partners with Romeo? They were pretty attached in Helljumper (tbh that was kind of just Romeo… my poor clingy boy.) Of course, he could always go back to being a truck driver, but according to Bad Blood that wasn't very fulfilling after being an ODST.

Mickey — in my personal opinion, he could be a firefighter. It gives him the chance to help others in his community, which we know he's all for, and it's dangerous enough that I think it could work for someone like him. He could also thrive as a political activist or (less likely imo) a political leader. Regardless, I think making money wouldn't be a big concern for him as he would be way more inclined to work for non-profits than someone like Dutch.

Annnd joke answer: GameStop employee.

Gretchen — unfortunately there's not a whole lot on her so anything I say would be pure headcanon. However, I don't think a desk job would make her happy. Despite her disability, Gretchen is still a dedicated and ambitious woman – I’d love to see her in the automotive mechanist/technician field or even just general maintenance and repair (again, there’s nothing to suggest she would, but there’s also nothing to suggest she wouldn’t.) On the other hand, I believe she'd be employed with Romeo and Dutch in whatever business idea they’ve cooked up. She served with them both for… however long… I like to think they became a family.

The Rookie — professional sleeper. 64k a year. I'm joking, Rooks can be whatever you want him to be :)

As global energy demands continue to rise, there is a growing acknowledgment that a transition to cleaner energy sources is necessary. Big petroleum businesses are investing heavily in renewable projects to align with this trend and ensure their long-term viability.

Regulatory Pressures

Another trend influencing big petroleum companies is the tightening of regulations surrounding carbon emissions. Governments worldwide are implementing stricter environmental policies, compelling these companies to adapt or face potential penalties. This regulatory environment encourages investment in cleaner technologies and practices.

Moreover, the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) poses both a challenge and an opportunity for big petroleum businesses. While the widespread adoption of EVs could reduce gasoline demand, these companies can pivot by investing in EV charging infrastructure and battery technology. By embracing this shift, big petroleum companies can position themselves as key players in the evolving energy landscape.

Conclusion

In conclusion, big petroleum companies are integral to the global economy, providing essential energy resources that drive various industries. However, they also face significant challenges, including environmental concerns and the urgent need for sustainable practices. As technological advancements continue to reshape the industry, these companies must adapt to the changing landscape by investing in renewable energy and complying with evolving regulations.

The future of big petroleum businesses will depend on their ability to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship. By embracing innovation and sustainable practices, these corporations can ensure their relevance in a world that increasingly prioritizes sustainability. As the energy transition progresses, big petroleum businesses must remain proactive in addressing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, ultimately shaping the future of energy for generations to come.

Automation and Smart Technologies: Transforming the Machine Tools Market

Market Overviews

In 2023, the machine tools industry generated income of USD 78.8 billion in 2023, which is projected to experience a CAGR of 4.4% over the forecast period, to attain USD 105.6 billion by the end of the decade. This is primarily attributable to the fact that the precision and proficiency in making are the key indicators for minimum wastage and alteration. Machine tool, which has a very high precision level, can help to avoid material wastages and cost reduction at the time of assembly of the part.

The major reason for the growth of automation and robotics in machining technologies can be identified in the weak workforce in the high-level manufacturing industry of the developed countries and greater use of these techniques in the aerospace, defense, medical device, marine and other sectors.

The progress of Industry 4.0 has conversed multiple innovations like artificial intelligence, big data, robots and automation, allowing more efficacy, productivity and flexibility across major sectors. One of the factors, which increased the use of machine tools in the metal fabrication and industrial manufacturing industries, is the growth of the pressure on manufacturers for good quality products with efficiency, sustainability and acceptable lead time and no possible errors.

Key Trends in the Marine Engine Manufacturing Industry

Marine engine manufacturing presents a significant challenge to change through new technological advances, environmental regulations, and higher market demands. The focal point of operations in the maritime sector is commercial shipping, fishing vessels, and leisure crafts, whose engines are the heart of the mechanics involved. Innovations in these areas bring about improvements in efficiency, emission reduction, and reliability. This is because global shipping is still one of the principal drivers of international trade. Marine engine manufacturers are, therefore, the frontiers of the future in maritime operations. This blog delves into the latest key trends that are shaping the marine engine manufacturing sector.

1. Sustainability and Emission Control

The biggest trend in the industry of marine engine manufacturing is sustainability and emission control. The whole world is reacting to international regulations by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on enforcing MARPOL Annex VI with tighter standards for emissions. This has increasingly forced manufacturers to produce cleaner and more efficient engines.

The designs for marine engines have accounted for the regulations under IMO Tier III, where the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx) must be curtailed on a massive scale. These innovations resulted in dual-fuel engines that can work both on regular fuel and on liquefied natural gas (LNG), reducing emissions substantially. Of late, every effort is being made to use biofuels and synthetic fuels to curb carbon emissions from marine operations.

2. Hybrid and Electric Propulsion Systems

With the growing environmental issues, hybrid and electric propulsion systems are becoming important because of the viable alternative energy solutions that these offer. And with that interest in the marine engine is gaining momentum because people are shifting towards hybrid and electric propulsion systems. This mirrors one of the trends of transportation sectors, automotive and aviation, with electrification.

Hybrid systems take the traditional reciprocating engine or diesel and pair it with electric propulsion from a battery so that during operations, vessels can switch from source to source based on needs. Fuel consumption is dramatically reduced since, most of the time; vessels do not need to reach the full power capabilities of their engine; the majority of activities occur during port operations or slow cruising. Fully electric propulsion is still in its infant stages when applied to large vessels, but it quickly took the industry for smaller boats and ferries.

Advances in battery technologies also mean better lithium-ion batteries which have increased energy density and support longer trips. Hybrid marine engines with ESS are also increasing onboard power management flexibility, thus achieving increased efficiency in fueling and a reduced environmental footprint.

3. Digitalization and Intelligent Engines

IoT and big data are changing the game in the marine engine manufacturing business with the rise of smart engines that have sensors and data analytics tools embedded and can, in real-time, track how the engine is performing its fuel consumption and even maintenance needs.

Predictive maintenance is one of the major areas wherein digitalization is making a difference. Smart systems keep updating the condition of an engine and predict when some of the parts will start failing or require maintenance, thus reducing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency. In shipping companies, it becomes a major cause of concern when production gets stopped due to unplanned maintenance, causing high costs.

Finally, there will be the emergence of autonomous ships. The marine engine manufacturers will, therefore, try to create engines that can be used independently. Smart engines would make vessels highly reliable and require minimal human intervention.

4. Modular Design and Customization

Another major trend that's now happening in the marine engine manufacturing industry is towards modular engine design. In this, more modular designs are to be used in the production of engines. The main reason for this is that manufacturers can easily produce all sorts of custom designs of the engines according to the needs of any type of vessel. For instance, shipbuilders can add or remove the parts of the engine according to the vessel size, power requirements, and for what kind of vessel, and hence all the performance will result in optimized and excellent fuel efficiency.

This trend also reflects a growing demand for customization within the industry. Increasingly, shipowners and operators seek engines tailored to their specific operational requirements, whether for long-haul shipping offshore operations or some other specialized industrial application. To meet the increasing demand for modularity, modular designs are offered by marine engine manufacturers allowing a great deal of design flexibility and enabling more innovative and cost-effective options.

5. Hydrogen and Alternative Fuels

Hydrogen has become the new game-changer in the marine engine industry. A couple of years ago, these hydrogen engines would refuel, and there would be no fuel emissions at all, finally leaving a sustainable future for maritime transport. Indeed, hydrogen technology is still at the developmental stage. So far, several marine engine manufacturers are trying to figure out how to integrate these hydrogen fuels into their designs.

At this point in time, the infrastructure to support hydrogen as a marine fuel does not appear developed, but initiatives such as the Hydrogen Europe initiative do work on their development. Meanwhile, other alternative fuels including ammonia and methanol, are being tested and put into use in marine engines in the ongoing decarbonization of the world fleet of ships.

6. Retrofits and Engine Upgrades

The global ship fleet is mainly made up of older ships with older engine technologies. In this scenario, instead of scrapping the old ships, the common answer to complying with new environmental or efficiency standards has become retrofitting of the engines themselves.

Marine engine manufacturers are providing solutions for upgrading older engines with the latest technologies in terms of scrubbers, gains in fuel efficiency, and emission reduction. This will allow shipping companies to extend the life of fleets while meeting very stringent regulatory demands and improving operational performance.

Conclusion

The manufacturing marine engine industry is passing through a period of very dynamic change with the implications of environmental regulations, technological innovation, and the changing needs of customers. From hybrid and electric propulsion systems smart engines and hydrogen technology, these Marine Engine Manufacturers are innovating to ensure that the future of maritime transport will be cleaner, more efficient, and more reliable. However, despite these trends, the industry will have much play in the globalization movement toward sustainable and resilient maritime operations.

LNG Gains Momentum As A Readily Available Alternative Fuel For Shipping - Peninsula360

It’s been three years since Peninsula made the decision to build the Levante LNG, our dedicated 12,500-cbm LNG bunker vessel, developed in Hyundai Mipo Shipyard, South Korea, through a joint venture with our friends at ENAGAS’ affiliate Scale Gas. Fast forward to now, Levante LNG is fully operational and regularly supplying LNG as marine fuel in the Strait of Gibraltar and Western Mediterranean.

Three years might feel like the blink of an eye to some, but the period has been characterised by remarkable growth for the LNG bunkering market. DNV figures show that globally, the LNG-fuelled fleet has grown considerably since 2020 – with 717 LNG vessels currently in operation. A further 341 are now on order and set to join the mix soon.

Certainly, we’ve seen an uplift in interest in LNG from our customers in recent months. From supplying the Royal Caribbean Group’s cruise vessels Silver Nova and Icon of the Seas to Eastern Pacific’s tanker Starway, MSC’s containership Virginia and, more recently, K Line’s PCC Thor Highway, our Levante LNG bunker vessel has indeed been busy.

Why is demand for LNG bunkering growing?

Beyond shipping, global LNG trading has become strategic since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, particularly in Europe, where there have been efforts to find alternatives to Russian gas pipeline supplies.

Focusing on shipping, there is also significant regulatory pressure to reduce C02 and other emissions, like NOx & Sox, associated with the burning of conventional fuels in marine engines. The International Maritime Organisation has set a target for the shipping industry to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by, or around, 2050 and last January we saw the EU Emissions Trading System come into effect for the maritime sector. Ship operators are now effectively accruing a bill on their emissions for any voyages with a port of call in the EU, and shipping companies will soon need to surrender EU allowances corresponding to their reported aggregate emissions for 2024.

Regulatory pressure has therefore catalysed LNG’s remarkable growth trajectory and this surging demand shows no sign of stopping. Recent analysis from Ship & Bunker of DNV data on the orderbook for new vessels last year reveals that LNG is the most popular alternative bunker fuel, followed at a distance by methanol.

This is good news because as demand for LNG bunkering grows, LNG infrastructure is also improving, making it easier for ships to access LNG supplies all around the world. For a global industry that constantly grapples with re-routing, that’s crucial.

How will LNG help decarbonise shipping?

By transitioning to LNG now, which is readily available, ship operators and owners can slash their CO2 emissions by around 25%.

LNG is one of the cleanest-burning non-electric marine fuels available, producing significantly reduced amounts of CO2, NOX and SOx and virtually no particulates or ash. Not only is it far less carbon intensive than crude oil derived products, but it is also charting a course for even further emissions reductions through the development of bio-LNG and eventually synthetic LNG. This can help us achieve net zero by 2050.

The emerging bio-LNG market is scaling rapidly. Produced from natural waste streams, such as agricultural and forestry waste, sustainable bio-LNG even has the potential to capture methane that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere – so could be carbon-negative. Hot on its heels, research and development into synthetic LNG is ongoing. Synthetic LNG would be produced from renewable electricity to power fleets with 100% clean energy.

Want to find out more?

Your choice of fuel is a big deal – impacting on running costs, maintenance, and retrofit requirements, it can make or break a profitable trip.

LNG as a marine fuel is still relatively new and decarbonisation regulations are complex. At Peninsula, we have operations all around the world and a number of LNG experts who are happy to advise customers on their specific fuel needs and circumstances.

ECB December Rate Cut: How Trump's Shadow is Changing the Euro ECB's December Rate Cut and Trump's Shadow: A Forex Whisperer's Take Imagine the European Central Bank (ECB) like a cautious shopper, eying the discount bin but not entirely convinced it's time to pull the trigger. According to ECB's Robert Holzmann, a moderate 25 basis points (bps) rate cut might be on the table for December—but only if the stars (or, in this case, economic data) align just right. He's keeping his options open, like that friend who might come to the party, but it depends on how they're feeling that day. "25bps and No More": The Subtle Promise Holzmann's comment that a 25bps cut is "conceivable" could sound a bit underwhelming at first, but it tells us a lot about the current European landscape. There’s uncertainty swirling, and no one’s pulling out the big guns just yet. It’s a balancing act—cut rates too much, and inflation might spiral. Do nothing, and economic growth stays in a slump. Now, here's where it gets interesting: President-elect Trump is looming over Europe’s inflation outlook like a cloud on a picnic day. Holzmann suggests that the effects of Trump’s upcoming policy moves could very well drive up inflation forecasts. Inflation might be rising faster than your heart rate after an unexpected spike in EUR/USD, and Trump’s economic vision for the U.S. seems to play a role in that. For traders, the real takeaway here? Keep an eye on Trump's fiscal policies and their ripple effects across the Atlantic. It could mean some unexpected twists for the euro's value. Germany’s Slow Stroll Through 2025 Meanwhile, Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel paints a pretty dreary picture for Germany. A weak economic outlook is on the horizon, and according to Nagel, 2025 isn’t looking any better. Imagine taking a stroll through a neighborhood with nothing but boarded-up shops—that’s the current economic vibe Nagel sees for Germany. He's calling for a "softer debt brake," which is just a fancy way of saying: "Hey, let’s borrow a bit more cash and invest, or this slow stroll is going to feel like a crawl." And this could mean opportunities in the Forex world. If Germany does ease up on its fiscal policies, we might see a boost in infrastructure spending, giving the euro a shot in the arm. If you're trading, watch the bond markets—changes in borrowing might hint at future shifts in EUR pairs. Macron's Staying Power and French Political Drama Ah, France—land of wine, cheese, and a fair bit of political drama. President Macron made it clear that he’s not planning on leaving his post before his mandate ends in 2027, and he doesn’t think Marine Le Pen will join forces with the left to topple his government. It’s like watching a reality TV show where the lead character is confident they won’t be voted off, even when the competition’s heating up. For traders, this stability (or perceived stability) can provide a somewhat predictable backdrop for the euro—at least for now. Hidden Opportunities and Market Strategies So, where’s the hidden gem here? It’s all about deciphering the ECB’s subtle dance around rate cuts, Germany’s fiscal debate, and the U.S.'s shadow over European inflation. These aren’t the headlines that jump out at every trader, but for those in the know, they’re golden. - Anticipate ECB Moves: A 25bps cut is modest, but it's enough to move the market—positioning for potential weakening of the euro in advance of December could be wise. - Trump Effect: Monitor fiscal policy developments in the U.S. closely. If inflation expectations rise in Europe, it could spark ECB action sooner than expected, giving you a chance to pre-empt big shifts in EUR/USD. - Germany's Slow Growth: Weak growth means lower euro confidence. If the debt brake loosens, infrastructure and spending could rise, providing an interesting reversal opportunity for EUR-based trades. Remember: Staying ahead in Forex is all about reading between the lines—finding those hidden opportunities while the rest of the market plays catch-up. —————– Image Credits: Cover image at the top is AI-generated   Read the full article
