Agricultural diesel soars again and now costs 25% more than before the Iran-Iraq war

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General27 August 2026 at 16:10

Agricultural diesel has surged again and now costs 25% more than before the war in Iran. The union Unió de Pagesos has asked the government to apply the reduced VAT of 10% to agricultural fuels to cope with its price increase caused by the war in the Middle East, after the weighted average price of this fuel reached 1.567 euros per liter, above the 1.544 euros recorded a few days after the start of the conflict.

Schroders says the 60/40 rule is not dead, but needs adjustments in the face of stagflation risk

Schroders argues that the classic 60/40 investment rule (60% equities, 40% bonds) is not dead but needs adjustments in stagflation scenarios. Duncan Lamont's analysis, based on 100 years of data, concludes that diversification is less reliable but does not disappear entirely, as the 60/40 portfolio outperformed isolated equities and bonds in stagflation years. The main recommendation is to shorten bond maturity to reduce sensitivity to yield rises, and consider floating rate instruments such as leveraged loans. Schroders also suggests increasing exposure to commodities and hedge funds as alternative diversifiers, and identifying defensive sectors such as healthcare and styles such as quality and value as more resilient in a stagflationary environment.

Obrigado pela correção. Se há uma atualização que indica apenas 5 concelhos sem Volta para Alcoutim, isso pode refletir uma alteração recente no percurso ou na organização da prova. Infelizmente, não consigo aceder a sites externos para verificar a informação mais recente. Recomendo consultar diretamente a página oficial da prova ou do organizador para confirmar os concelhos atuais.

The article addresses the discrepancies between SDR Portugal data and the reality regarding collection points of the Volta system in Portugal. According to the managing entity, only five municipalities have no registered points, but the website indicates 16, information that is outdated according to the source. Mayors from Oleiros, Mourão and Mora report difficulties for residents to access the deposit and refund system, highlighting failures in communication and implementation of the system in several municipalities.
