DUBLIN , July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "The Global Market for Wearable Technology and Devices 2022-2032" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The market for wearable devices and technology is growing fast, in improving sleep, health and wellness, pet tracking and smart jewelry  It has accelerated over the past two years with huge investment funding and growing interest in augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) and the metaverse. Wearables are body-borne computational and sensory devices which can sense the person who wears them and/or their environment. Wearables can communicate either directly through embedded wireless connectivity or through another device (e.g. a smartphone).

The data collected by the wearable device about the user or its environment is processed in a processing unit located locally or in an external server, and the results are ultimately provided to the wearer. Smart wearables may have control, communication, storage and actuation capabilities. The number and variety of wearable electronic devices has increased significantly in the past few years, as they offer significant enhancements to human comfort, health and well-being.

Wearable and mobile health monitoring technologies are important due to the rapidly aging global populations and the drastically increasing demand for in-home healthcare. Commercially available and near commercial wearable devices facilitate the transmission of biomedical informatics and personal health recording. Body worn sensors, which can provide real-time continuous measurement of pertinent physiological parameters noninvasively and comfortably for extended periods of time, are of crucial importance for applications of mobile medicine. Advancements over the last few years in electronics have also led to the development of electronic (E-textiles) or smart textiles. Smart textiles and garments can sense environmental stimuli and react or adapt in a predetermined way. This involves either embedding or integrating sensors/actuators ad electronic components into textiles for use in applications such as medical diagnostics and health monitoring, consumer electronics, safety instruments and automotive textiles.

A Denver-based natural gas giant’s decision to let financial hedges on its sale expire this year paid off big this spring, reversing its losses with a $765 million quarterly profit. Antero Resources (NYSE: AR), the fifth-largest U.S. natural gas producer and second-biggest exporter of liquified natural gas, ended a string of regular quarterly losses Thursday with a very profitable quarter benefitting from high natural gas prices. “Antero is in the strongest financial position in its history,” said Paul Rady, the company’s chairman, CEO and president, on the company’s earnings call Thursday.

More than a year after an activist investor-led shake-up, Exxon Mobil has ticked a lot of boxes to endear itself to its shareholders. Exxon Mobil on Friday said it generated nearly $16.9 billion in free cash flow in the second quarter, the highest since 2008 and roughly $900 million more than analysts polled by Visible Alpha had expected. Quarterly net income for both Exxon and Chevron hit a record—not entirely surprising given that Brent crude prices averaged $113.78 a barrel in the second quarter, a $12 per barrel increase compared with the first quarter.

With world hunger on the rise, innovative companies such as Deere and Corteva could make a difference.

Semiconductor companies are awaiting signage of the crucial CHIPS Act by President Biden after it passed both the Senate and House of Representatives this week.

The two largest U.S. oil companies, Exxon Mobil Corp and Chevron Corp, posted record revenue on Friday, bolstered by surging crude oil and natural gas prices and following similar results for European majors a day earlier. Exxon outpaced its rivals with a $17.9 billion quarterly profit, the most for any international oil major in history. Chevron, Shell and Total ran to catch up with Exxon's aggressive buyback program, which was kept unaltered.

No company is completely immune from cyclical forces. But even after conceding that point, it is hard not to be impressed with the strength of the Apple, Amazon and Microsoft numbers...

Coal began to rebound in 2021 for a number of different reasons: high demand for electricity, supply chain problems with renewable project, and the Ukraine War. But coal raises a lot of issues, and its boomlet is unlikely to last. .

Exxon Mobil and Chevron will be reporting second-quarter earnings early Friday. Investors are watching for oil field inflation impact.

Global oil prices decline in July, but Goldman Sachs commodity guru Jeffrey Currie touts a strong upside risk for oil on the back of wide, “unprecedented” spread between physical global oil and oil futures prices.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Oil prices settled up more than $2 a barrel on Friday as attention turned to next week's OPEC+ meeting and dimming expectations that the producer group will imminently boost supply. Oil pared some gains after the release of data from oil services firm Baker Hughes, which showed that U.S. drillers added crude rigs for a record 23 months in a row, indicating more supply ahead. In July, the oil rig count rose 11, increasing for a record 23rd month in a row, while the gas count was unchanged after rising for 10 straight months, the Baker Hughes data showed.

Big Oil has never had it so good, and its immediate priority is rewarding shareholders. The world's largest energy companies, including TotalEnergies, Exxon Mobil and Chevron are ramping up buyback programmes despite criticism that they are not moving swiftly enough to increase oil and gas output as high fuel prices pinch consumers worldwide. Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Shell and TotalEnergies produced a combined profit of $51 billion, with Exxon topping the pile at $18 billion.

Natural-gas futures bucked trend of pullbacks in commodity prices this month and look to finish July with a 50% gain, the second largest monthly percentage rise on record.

Top energy stock Equinor is in the spotlight after the company posted record second-quarter earnings and continues to power forward on all cylinders. Due to rising geopolitical tensions with Russia, there have been few commodities in higher demand than European natural gas. As the second largest supplier of gas to Europe, Equinor is in an enviable position to deliver much-needed gas to Europe.

India had drawn bids totaling at least $19 billion entering the fourth day of an auction for 5G spectrum on Friday, as telecom giants clamoured for airwave rights needed for next generation networks in the world's second largest mobile market. Reliance Industries' Jio, rivals Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea, as well as billionaire Gautam Adani's Adani Enterprises Ltd were all among the bidders for 5G airwaves.
