Online Shopping Survey 2023: Hispanics Are Shopping More Online Than Last Year

Consolidated Credit

Consolidated Credit, the nonprofit organization whose mission is to help families resolve financial crises through financial education, credit counseling, and debt management programs, surveyed over 1,000 Spanish-speaking individuals in the United States to inquire about their online shopping habits. The 2023 Online Shopping Survey [esp] provides us with relevant data on shopping habits, trends, and the use of credit cards in the digital age. "The survey results show a marked preference for online shopping among the Hispanic community. An impressive 63.9% of Latino respondents stated that they prefer to shop online rather than visit physical stores. This demonstrates a significant increase in the adoption of online shopping compared to previous years. In contrast, only 4% of surveyed Hispanics indicated a preference for in-store shopping.” The frequency of online shopping is also notably high among Hispanics, with 75.7% making between 1 and 5 online purchases per month. On the other hand, 55.7% of non-Hispanic respondents shop online with the same frequency. Among the survey results, just over 43.6% of consumers agree that this holiday season they plan to spend between $100 and $500 on online shopping, as it is a more accessible and convenient option for savings and staying within a budget. Another significant finding of the survey is that 48.08% of respondents, both Hispanics and non-Hispanics, prefer to use credit cards as their primary method of payment for online purchases. However, this trend is also reflected in credit card debt, where 29.1% of Hispanics have debts ranging from $5,000 to $10,000, while 21.7% accumulate debts between $1,000 and $5,000. Regarding favorite online purchases, Hispanics highlighted their preference for clothing, with 45.5%, followed by home products at 42.4%. In comparison, the rest of the consumers indicated a higher preference for home products at 35.47%, while clothing received 24.31%. 2023 Marks The 30th Anniversary Of Consolidated Credit! Consolidated Credit celebrates 30 years of assisting in all areas of financial education, from credit and housing counseling to budgeting assistance, speaking with veterans about financial stability, and collaborating with Habitat for Humanity and Junior Achievement of South Florida. Our team members have helped millions of people since 1993. Every individual in our nonprofit organization strives for positive change. We look forward to continuing to serve people in the United States for many more years.

"Emissions across the EU are down double-digit percent this year" - SparkChange

HANetf Holdings Limited

SparkChange head of sales Billal Ismail provides Thomas Warner from Proactive London with some valuable insights into the volatile dynamics of EU carbon allowances over the past few months. The discussion covers the fundamental factors influencing the carbon market and the role of investor positioning in shaping its trajectory. Ismail begins by highlighting the sluggish nature of EU carbon markets fundamentals. Economic output in the EU has been soft for various reasons, while a substantial share of energy production has shifted towards renewable sources like wind and solar, resulting in reduced emissions. He says the demand-supply balance has tilted towards a bearish scenario, with emissions down by a double-digit percentage. Despite the subdued fundamentals, carbon prices have maintained relative stability, hovering between €80-90/t, occasionally dipping into the high 70s. Ismail says consensus forecasts for EUA prices in the near term have already adjusted downward, and investment funds have built up the largest net short position on record. The discussion then turns towards the seasonality of the carbon market and the unique challenges it presents. Ismail notes the rarity of investors carrying significant net short positions into the year-end period, emphasising that a short squeeze could lead to a substantial price spike. In addressing a final question about carbon emissions, Ismail acknowledged the positive impact of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) in achieving emission reduction goals. He emphasises the role of both structural and cyclical elements in this progress, with renewable energy capacity contributing to structural change, while economic factors influence cyclical trends.

Torque Metals convinced New Dawn will be lithium mine

TORQUE METALS LIMITED

Torque Metals Ltd (ASX:TOR) MD Cristian Moreno speaks with Proactive after announcing the company has hit notably high-grade mineralisation in diamond drilling at the New Dawn Lithium Project in the Goldfields region of Western Australia, with intercepts assaying up to 2.45% lithium. The inaugural drilling program over 6,628 metres consisted of four diamond drill holes for which assays have been received from two holes and 19 reverse circulation (RC) holes. Assays are pending from the other two diamond holes along with the RC holes. "Confirmation of high-grade lithium mineralisation at depth, as well as exciting visual observations of shallow RC intervals underscores our confidence,” he said. “I believe we are just touching on a significant lithium-tantalum deposit probably representing an extension of the adjacent Bald Hill mineralised system."

Atlantic Lithium chairman explains rejection of two takeover offers

Atlantic Lithium Ltd

Atlantic Lithium Ltd (AIM:ALL, OTCQX:ALLIF, ASX:A11) chairman Neil Herbert speaks with Proactive after announcing the company has twice rejected a takeover approach from its major shareholder, Assore International, worth just over £200 million. Assore offered to buy all the shares it does not own at a price of 33p or around a 60% premium to the close in London on Tuesday this week. Herbert says the company’s independent directors committee (IBC) considered the latest approach, which was at the same price as an earlier approach on 2 October, before rejecting it as it did with the first. In regard to an updated target price, Liberum analyst Yeun Low wrote in a note to clients this week: "In the absence of competing offers, we believe our updated target price balances upside potential against the various risks associated with (and not limited to) permitting, funding, exploration, development, construction and ramp-up," Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

69% of American pet parents are nose blind according to new research

KISS PR Brand Story

NEW YORK: 69% of American pet parents say it’s possible they are nose blind when it comes to the true smell of their pet, according to a new study. Researchers polled 2,000 pet owners nationwide and found that as well as having gotten used to the smell of their furry friends, 66% agreed they could also be nose blind to pet smell in their home. The new study commissioned by  Sunstar QAIS, an indoor air quality brand, aimed to uncover the reality of pet stinks at home and discovered that 79% of pet owners admit their house has a pet smell and 47% of pet owners have been told their house or apartment smells of their pet’s pee pad or litter box. Cat owners (57%) are more likely to have been told this than dog owners (42%). According to the data, 44% said they were embarrassed to be told their pet smells, 42% responded it was a natural pet smell, 34% said they felt personally insulted or hurt by the news, while 20% defended their pet and said they didn’t smell. In fact, 28% of cat and 24% of dog owners wilfully admit they probably don’t change or clean out their pets as often as they should, with over a quarter saying they always try to get someone else to do it. 26% of pet owners said a family member has told them their furry friends smell, 18% by friends and 3% by a stranger. But despite being told about the stench, 23% claim they don’t change their pet’s litter box or pee pad because they are ‘too busy’, 22% only ‘when it starts to really smell’ and 18% because it’s their ‘most hated chore’ and 16% because it’s a ‘disgusting job’. A spokesperson for Sunstar QAIS, Takuya Watanabe said: “On average our research revealed that litter boxes or pee pads are changed once every five days, while 3% are only changed every two weeks or more. Also, 30% of pet owners spend less than 30 minutes a week cleaning up their pet poop or pee, but a dedicated 5% spend five hours a week. For those suffering their pet’s smell, a simple solution like the air purifier, QAIS-air- 04, would help eliminate pet odors from above the pee pads or cat litter box before they spread, and it is a perfect solution for those with less time as it is filterless and especially designed with pets safety and comfort in mind”.

Navigating Open Enrollment

YourUpdateTV

Open Enrollment season is underway, and as we look ahead to 2024, now is the time to assess health care coverage options and select the plan that is best for you and your budget. Recently, Rhonda Randall, the Chief Medical Officer of UnitedHealthcare Employer and Individual participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to share tips for navigating the Open Enrollment season. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/mhpkMs2vBGk Enrollment periods aren’t the same for everyone, so there are key dates to keep in mind depending on your circumstances. Many employers set aside a 2- to 3-week period between September and December when employees can select health benefits for the following year. But just as millions of Americans prepare to choose health insurance for next year, a recent survey revealed that 1 in 3 people (36%) spend less than 1 hour reviewing their benefits options. For most people, not making an enrollment decision means you may be locked into your current plan for the upcoming year. If anything has changed this year – either with your current plan, health status or budget – that decision to do nothing could lead to unpleasant surprises or missed cost-savings in 2024. Because everyone has unique health and budget needs, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to selecting a health plan, it’s important to stay informed before making these decisions. When choosing a health plan, here are a handful of tips that will hopefully lead to better health and cost savings: Take your time and consider all of your options Learn the language Help prevent financial surprises Check for mental health coverage Don’t forget about specialty benefits Look into wellness programs Explore virtual care services Visit UHCOpenEnrollment.com for tips, resources and information on plans in your area About Rhonda Randall Rhonda L. Randall, D.O., is the Chief Medical Officer of UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual, the nation’s largest business serving the health coverage and well-being needs of nearly 28 million Americans. Dr. Randall collaborates with U.S. employers who are looking for quality, cost-effective, long-term solutions to health benefits for their employees and retirees.
