The German stock market has hit a new milestone as the Dax crossed the 25,000 mark. But behind the headlines, only a handful of stocks are truly soaring — most remain far below their record highs. At the same time, more large companies are sliding into insolvency, a worrying sign that Germany’s economic slowdown is deepening.

In the energy sector, Thyssenkrupp is gaining momentum thanks to speculation about a sale of its steel division, and analysts believe oil stocks could surprise investors this year. Meanwhile, innovations like river heat pumps are showing real promise for sustainable heating.

Markets are also looking ahead to what could become a record year for IPOs, with global names like SpaceX and several German firms ready to go public. And while the Eurozone inflation rate has eased to 2 percent, offering relief to policymakers, the automotive industry faces major challenges — VW, BMW, and Mercedes are struggling through what some call their toughest crisis since Dieselgate.

That’s all for today’s update. We’ll be back soon with the latest in business and markets.
