NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2023 / Franklin Templeton has been recognized for the first time as one of Barron''s Most Sustainable US Companies. Franklin Templeton placed #73 on the 2023 list. Barron''s list was determined by Calvert Research & Management, a leader in ESG investing. Calvert ranked each of the 1,000 largest publicly traded companies by market value on how the company performed with five key constituencies: shareholders, employees, customers, community and the planet. Calvert reviewed more than 230 ESG performance indicators from seven rating companies, including ISS, MSCI and Sustainalytics, along with using other data and Calvert''s internal research. The data was organized into 28 topics that were then sorted into five categories. Calvert assigned a score of zero to 100 in each category, based on company performance. Then, it created a weighted average of the categories for each company, based on how financially material the category was in its industry. To make Barron''s list, a company had to be rated above the bottom quarter in each material stakeholder category.

Indian shares were tipped to open slightly lower on Wednesday, ahead of a widely expected interest rate hike, with traders waiting for details on the central bank''s outlook in its fight against domestic inflation.

Morgan Stanley upgraded its outlook for China equities and expects a move toward ending zero-COVID controls to boost stocks. Hong Kong''s Hang Seng index could rally 13% from its current level by the end of 2023, strategists said. Major Chinese cities including Shanghai and Shenzhen started easing lockdown measures earlier this month. China looks like a tempting investing option again with policymakers moving toward an economic reopening, according to Morgan Stanley. The easing of zero-COVID controls that started earlier this month will likely boost earnings, the US bank said, upgrading Chinese stocks to an ''overweight'' rating against emerging markets for the first time since the pandemic started ravaging the global economy in March 2020. "Multiple positive developments alongside a clear path set toward reopening warrant an upgrade and index target increases for China," a team of strategists led by Laura Wang wrote in a research note published Sunday. Cities across China including Shanghai and Shenzhen eased their Covid-19 testing requirements last week, which many analysts believe signals that Beijing is shifting toward ending its harsh "zero-COVID" pandemic policies in favor of an economic reopening.
