by Wolf Richter, Wolf Street: But China’s renminbi keeps losing ground. The US dollar, still the #1 reserve currency held by central banks, keeps losing share in bits and pieces ever so slowly against a mix of other reserve currencies as central banks diversify their holdings of dollar-denominated assets to assets denominated in other currencies.

WATCH: BREAKING: Large fire at BioLab in Conyers, Georgia sends massive plume of smoke over sky, I-20 being blocked off, residents told to leave pic.twitter.com/JrxfgDYWt9 — Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) September 29, 2024 FOX 5 Atlanta reports: A fire at BioLab, a chemical plant, on Old Covington Highway in Rockdale County led to several road closures in the area early Sunday morning, according to Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office. Emergency services responded and the sheriff’s office is asking residents to stay indoors and keep windows closed to minimize exposure to any potential hazards. Officials say “safety measures are in place to protect the public.” Residents in the immediate area have been evacuated and JP Carr Gym has been set up as an evacuation site. During a 10 a.m. press conference, it was revealed that the incident began around 5 a.m. Officials say that a sprinkler in the plant malfunctioned, causing water to make contact with a reactive chemical. That resulted in a small fire on the roof of the plant and a large plume. Officials did not say what chemical was involved during the press conference. Officials also said that they are waiting for heavy equipment to remove pallets of the chemical from the plant. In the meantime, the EPA will be sampling the plume to determine what chemicals are in it to determine the threat level to the community.

That caused water to mix with a water-reactive chemical, which produced a plume of chemicals. The chief said she wasn’t sure what chemicals were included. There was a small fire on the roof, which was contained, McDaniel said. “We don’t want fear. This is a well-handled incident,” McDaniel said. “We have this under control. We’re looking to get it even more under control, and we will be out here until the very end.” People living close to the plant were told to evacuate and others in the affected area were told to shelter in place with windows and doors closed. Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Christine Nesbitt did not know the number of people evacuated. The federal Environmental Protection Agency and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division were both on site, county Emergency Management Director Sharon Webb said. The agencies are monitoring the air “to give us more of an idea of what the plume consists of.”
