  ConocoPhillips, Alaska’s top oil producer, announced it plans to develop the Nuna field, a move that will add a predicted 20,000 barrels of oil to the state’s daily production.
  
  The company has held the small field since acquiring it in 2019 from Dallas-based Caelus. Drilling at Nuna is set to begin late next year, followed soon after by oil production, the company said. Nearly 30 development wells are planned reported the Anchorage Daily News.

• Past few days rank among the worst for wildfire pollution in U.S. history
  New York City was filled with reddish haze yesterday, with...

  New York City was filled with reddish haze yesterday, with its worst air quality on record. A Broadway matinee was interrupted when its star had difficulty breathing, and some nighttime shows were canceled. Pro sports teams in both New York and Philadelphia postponed their games. In Binghamton, N.Y., a meteorologist said that the area around him “looks like Mars” and “smells like cigars.” In Toronto, residents awoke this week to find a thick layer of ash near open windows.

  
  

  The immediate cause is a series of wildfires in Quebec and Ontario, which began burning weeks ago. The larger cause is the same one damaging the air quality in the West: a sharp increase in wildfires during the 21st century, caused partly by the hotter temperatures and drier conditions created by climate change.

  U.S. stocks ended mostly lower Wednesday, feeling the pressure after the Bank of Canada unexpectedly raised interest rates after a long pause, sparking concern the Federal Reserve also might not be done tightening policy.
  
  Fed-funds futures traders look for the central bank to leave rates on hold next week, but have priced in a hike of at least 25 basis points at the subsequent July meeting. Those expectations rose after the Bank of Canada's decision to lift rates, citing stubborn inflation and strong consumer spending.
  
  The Dow Jones Industrial Average shook off the gloom to rise around 92 points, or 0.3%. But the rate-sensitive Nasdaq Composite slumped 1.3%, while the S&P 500 shed 0.4%.
