• Munich Re to stop its backing for new oil, gas fields
  Munich Re, one of the world's biggest insurance companies, said Thursday that it will stop backing...
  Munich Re, one of the world's biggest insurance companies, said Thursday that it will stop backing new oil and gas fields beginning next April.  The company said it will also no longer invest in or insure new oil pipelines and power plants that weren't already under construction by Dec. 31, 2022.
  
  Munich Re said the moves were part of its effort to reduce the harmful impact its business has on the environment. The burning of oil and gas is one of the main sources of greenhouses gases fueling climate change.
  
  Munich Re provides so-called reinsurance contracts that help other insurers spread risks. It also invests the insurance premiums it receives from customers and third-party assets, making it a major institutional investor.

• California gas prices are soaring again, averaging $6.42 a gallon. But 'welcome relief' is coming.
  Gas prices hit record highs in many parts of California on Wednesday, with greater Los Angeles seeing...
  Gas prices hit record highs in many parts of California on Wednesday, with greater Los Angeles seeing an unprecedented average of $6.49 per gallon for regular. Prices in some southern California locations spiked at more than $8.00 per gallon. But experts said Golden State drivers whose tanks aren't near empty may want to hold off on filling up, because relief may be on the way.
  
  Statewide, prices reached $6.42 per gallon, up a penny from the day before, and just under the record average of $6.44 set June 14. That's nearly $3 higher than the national average of $3.83, according to AAA.
  
  By midday, however, there was good news: Wholesale spot prices for gasoline sold by refineries and others in the Golden State dropped by as much as $1.25 per gallon off recent highs and could fall further. The single biggest factor contributing to the decline was likely California Gov. Gavin Newsom directing state air regulators to allow oil refineries to immediately switch to producing cheaper "winter blend" gasoline a month earlier than normal. A costlier "summer blend" of gasoline that produces less dangerous smog when it mixes with hot summer sunshine is normally required in California from May until the end of October.
