Earnings at DAX companies remain weak for a third straight year, with the auto sector continuing to drag on overall performance. That lines up with a downgraded outlook from the Handelsblatt Research Institute, which now sees little more than marginal growth ahead.\r\n\r\nCompanies are reacting in very different ways. M\u00fcller has put its China plans on hold and is focusing on Europe, while BASF is doing the opposite, opening a major new site in southern China to strengthen its global chemicals business. Bertelsmann is also looking outward, with Thomas Rabe targeting strong growth in India.\r\n\r\nAt the same time, financing conditions are getting tougher. Bond market volatility, rising credit costs and fresh concerns around private credit show that pressure is building across the financial system. On the investment side, Allianz\u2019s move into Amprion highlights the value of energy infrastructure, while the market is watching Oracle and next-generation AI very closely as big bets on future growth. Overall, the mood is cautious, selective and shaped by resilience rather than optimism.\u00a0\r\n\r\nAnd that\u2019s a look at today\u2019s economic developments. Until next time, take care and stay informed.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/img.hearthis.at\/5\/7\/3\/_\/uploads\/2394199\/image_track\/14053986\/w1200_h628_q70_ptrue_v2_m1774594492----cropped_1774594490375.jpg?m=1774594492","thumbnail_width":1200,"thumbnail_height":628,"html":"<iframe scrolling=\"no\" id=\"hearthis_at_track_14053986_light\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;\" width=\"100%\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/hearthis.at\/embed\/14053986\/transparent\/?style=2&block_size=2&block_space=2&background=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency><\/iframe>","author_name":"infobroker","author_url":"https:\/\/hearthis.at\/infobroker\/"}
