#Markowitz has died. Harry Markowitz was a crucial pioneer of #portfolio theory and Nobel laureate. He was instrumental in making correlation matter when considering portfolio risk. That is, a portfolio can be less risky despite having risky stocks if individual stocks have little correlation in performance. Among stocks from the same industry, for example, the correlation is often quite high, while other industries correlate less. Other asset classes even less. From a risk perspective, it can therefore also make sense to add gold or cryptos to the portfolio.

Production at #china 🇨🇳 continued to decline. However, the stock markets in China still rose. The main reason was that Li Qiang (Premier) advocates policies that increase domestic demand.
The #inflation in the euro zone is falling more sharply than expected, to now 5.5% compared with the same month last year. In Germany, there was an increase from 6.1% to 6.4% compared with the previous month. However, one-off effects such as the EUR 9 ticket and the fuel price discount played a role here.
