Natural gas prices in Europe have doubled to an all-time high since Russia’s war on Ukraine began last month, adding to already persistently high prices as inflation squeezes the global economy.

The European Union imports 90% of its natural gas, used to generate electricity, heat homes and supply industry. Russia supplies almost 40% of that. Europe was already in a natural gas crisis with low reserves and high prices, partly because Russian companies like Gazprom had been selling less short-term gas and refraining from filling as much

European storage as it normally does. Analysts expect the global energy market to

remain volatile while the conflict persists.“Russia’s use of its natural gas resources as an

economic and political weapon show Europe needs to act quickly to be ready to face consider-able uncertainty over Russian gas supplies next

winter,” said International Energy Agency executive director Fatih Birol, in a report on ways to reduce dependence on Russian energy.

The conflict has sparked calls within Europe to phase out its reliance on Russian energy, but over the course of the decade.

Unnatural gas prices

EU natural gas prices surge:

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent natural gas prices in Europe

soaring and added to already high prices

amid an energy crisis on the continent.

Yum China Holdings fell to its lowest price in more than three years on Monday after the operator of KFC and Pizza Hut in China said a coronavirus outbreak there will drag down its first-quarter results.

Yum China, a separate company from Yum Brands, said the omicron outbreak in the economically important regions of Guangdong, Shanghai, Shandong and Jilin has caused the government to impose

stricter preventive health and containment measures. Shanghai-based Yum China said same-store sales

fell 4% in January and February and 20% in the first two weeks of March.

“We are staying vigilant to ensure the health and safety of our employ-ees and customers,” said Yum China CEO Joey Wat. “We will keep our restaurants open and provide food services to customers wherever it is possible and safe to do so.”

Inflation barometerThe Labor Department delivers its monthly index of U.S. wholesale prices today.

Economists expect the producer price index, which measures price pressures before they reach consumers, rose a seasonally adjusted 0.9% last month after rising 1% in January. In a further sign of ongoing inflationary pressures, inflation at the wholesale level surged 9.7% in January from a year earlier, just below an all-time high annual gain of 9.8% recorded in both Novem-ber and December.

Manufacturing surveyThe latest monthly snapshot of a key gauge of U.S. manufacturing activity is expected to show an increase.

Economists predict the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Empire State Manufacturing Index, which is due out today, jumped to 7.5 this month. That would follow a reading of 3.1 in February. Any reading over zero signals growth. Economists track the index because it provides a first look at the health of U.S. manufacturing each month.

Solid footingFootwear company Caleres serves up its latest quarterly report card today.

Wall Street expects the company’s fourth-quarter earnings and revenue increased from a year earlier, capping a solid fiscal year. Caleres, whose portfolio of footwear brands includes Dr. Scholl’s Shoes, FrancoSarto and Famous Footwear, benefited last year from strong sales growth, especially in its Famous Footwear line, which helped drive record profits in the third quarter.
