United Internet ( $UTDI (+0.16%) ) - Ralph Dommermuth wants to buy United Internet for 35 euros per share. This means that he would own more than half of the Internet group. The manager wants to acquire 17 million United Internet shares, either via an existing company or via a new company he controls. The share price, which was close to 37 euros in September, had fallen by about 5 euros by the end of October. United Internet had announced in mid-September that it wanted to end the share buyback prematurely due to low trading volumes. However, it is still unclear whether Dommermuth will actually buy the company.

Platoon ( $2ON (+5.88%) ) - The surplus demand for exercise bikes due to Corona's crisis is over. Last quarter, the fitness equipment maker posted a $376 million loss. That forced Peloton to lower its revenue forecast for the current year and subscriber growth. Investors reacted immediately, and the stock dropped about 33% within a day.

Varta ( $VAR1 (+1.53%) ) - The battery maker lowered its sales forecast for the current fiscal year due to production difficulties at some suppliers. In response, the stock price fell about 19%.

New York City - New York City's new (Democratic) mayor, Eric Adams, discussed in an interview, a day after his official election, his plan to introduce a coin for the city. This is supposed to be one of the first steps in transforming New York into a crypto-currency-friendly city. In addition, he announced that he wants to receive his first 3 salaries in the form of crypto-currencies. He has also already met with Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who is known for his positive attitude towards crypto-currencies and who last week also requested that his salary be paid 100% in bitcoins. Miami already has its own City Coin, which is indeed very popular. Francis and Adams have now decided to engage in a friendly competition to see which of the two cities can show the most progress in the crypto space. Adams' goal is for New York to maintain its reputation as the financial capital of the crypto-currency era.

Commonwealth Bank ( $CWW (+0.62%) ) - Australia's largest bank said the day before that they are working to make bitcoin and other crypto-currencies tradable for their customers in the coming weeks. In addition, they said that they also want to offer their customers to store crypto-currencies for them. Initially, only Bitcoin ($BTC-EUR), Bitcoin Cash ($BCH-EUR), Ethereum ($ETH-USD) and Litecoin ($LTC-EUR) will be available. The implementation will be done in collaboration with Gemini, a U.S.-based company specializing in crypto asset custody. Commonwealth Bank is by far the largest financial institution on the continent, with total assets of $688.4 billion, so this news is a big step for the crypto industry.

BASF ($BAS (+2.68%)) - After strong quarterly figures, BASF raises annual targets again. Thanks to good demand and higher prices, business is going well for the world's largest chemical company. Sales of between 76 and 78 billion euros are now expected. Operating earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and special items are also expected to be between 7.5 and 8.0 billion euros. Compared with the same period last year, which was weak due to Corona, sales increased by 42 percent to 19.7 billion euros. BASF reported a profit of 1.25 billion euros. In the previous year, there had been a loss due to depreciation of 2.1 billion euros.

Deutsche Bank ($DBK (+1.64%)) - The quarterly figures were also positive in the third quarter and the bank was again able to report a profit. However, Deutsche Bank's quarterly profit of 329 million euros is well below that of its competitors. Santander ($BSD2 (+1.19%)) reported a profit of 2.2 billion and UBS ($UBRA (+1.28%)) even posted 2.3 billion euros.

Despite exceeding expectations, investors are disappointed, as revenue stagnated in almost all business areas except asset management, while competitors' results were clearly positive. As a result, the share price fell by around 5%.

USA - Will US banks soon be able to hold bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies? An inter-agency working group has been formed in the US to develop uniform guidelines that will specifically allow US banks to hold and trade cryptocurrencies. This was revealed in an interview with Jelena McWilliams, chairwoman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC). Furthermore, she specifically believes that banks should be allowed to hold cryptocurrencies and that the guidelines are mainly meant to protect banks and investors. She also stated that she is convinced that the new technology of cryptocurrencies must be brought to the banks, as otherwise this industry will develop on its own and regulatory intervention will thus hardly be possible anymore.
