Statement At Open Meeting On Exemptions From The Proxy Rules For Proxy Voting Advice And Supplement To Commission Guidance Regarding Proxy Voting Responsibilities Of Investment Advisers, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, July 22, 2020
Date 22/07/2020
Proxy voting advice businesses play an important role in our marketplace, a role that carries with it tremendous power. One root of that power is a 2003 Commission rule that required funds to publish their votes. That rule pushed voting to the front burner for fund advisers, regardless of whether voting was a task that the funds and their shareholders wanted advisers to spend a lot of time on. Advisers looking to check the voting compliance box with as little headache as possible turned to proxy voting advice businesses for help, a move enabled by staff no-action positions. What followed was an outsourcing of the vote; funds’ voting decisions were handed over to proxy advisors, whose consequent power over public companies grew.

Paying More For Less: Higher Costs For Shareholders, Less Accountability For Management, SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, July 22, 2020
Date 22/07/2020
At the proposing stage for these rules, I observed that they would harm the governance process and suppress the free and full exercise of shareholder voting rights. Unfortunately, that is still the case with today’s final rules.

Momentum, Market Sentiment May Carry Commodity Prices Higher For A While Longer, But Not Indefinitely - IHS Markit Expects Fundamentals To Cap The Current Rally By The Fourth Quarter.
Date 22/07/2020
Since IHS Markit questioned last month whether commodities could continue moving higher, they have done just that. As measured by IHS Markit’s Material Price Index (MPI), commodity prices advanced another 5.5% between mid-June and mid-July. From the beginning of the current rally in late April, prices have risen for 11 straight weeks, recording a cumulative gain of 30.4%. Moreover, the rise in prices has been consistently broad-based with, on average, 70% of the MPI’s components increasing each week. The MPI is still down 6.1% in the year to date, but given the optimism in markets, it is conceivable that prices will erase their first quarter plunge before the end of September.
