29Thanks to a clear overweight $IREN (+3.1%) August was also very satisfactory. $KSPI (+0.28%) Sold at exactly the right time and got back in today. First tranche today $FSLR (-0.7%) . Very good position to get another boot in the door in the Renew. E. to get a boot in the door.
In addition, the 100k was cracked in August, which was my target for 2025. It won't always be like this, so I'm more than satisfied and grateful!
As every Sunday, the most important news from the past week, as well as the most important dates for the coming week.

Monday:
The subsidy rules for renewables in the USA are less strict than assumed. Various companies such as $VWS (-3.39%) Vestas or $FSLR (-0.7%) First Solar benefit from this and can make significant gains. Accordingly, many projects will still receive tax breaks if they are started before July 4, 2026. This could lead to many projects being started sooner than originally planned.
Wednesday:
Good news with a view to future inflation. Producer prices fell further in July, by 1.5% year-on-year. Economists had. only expected 1.3 %. Lower energy costs are primarily responsible for this.
Donald Trump is benefiting massively from cryptocurrency profits. In our view, the US president is exposed to an enormous conflict of interest here. Through his investments, he is profiting from his own laws. We are not talking about a few thousand euros here, but several hundred million, if not billions, of USD.
Thursday:
Harvard economist and professor Kenneth Rogoff also indirectly criticized this massive conflict of interest of the "regulatory authorities" in the US. Rogoff became famous in 2018 for his forecast in which he claimed that the $BTC (+0.03%) BTC would be worth USD 100 in a decade and not USD 100,000. Today, he sees the cause of his misjudgement primarily in the overestimation of the US regulatory authorities and the rise of BTC, driven above all by its use in the shadow economy.
Meanwhile, there is good data from the Purchasing Managers' Index for the EUR area. This rose to 51.1 points, whereas economists had expected a decline. The rise in industry in particular was a positive surprise. The index for service providers fell slightly to 50.7 points. Values above 50 signal growth.
Friday:
It almost seems as if the markets have been waiting for nothing else. Jerome Powell holds out the prospect of interest rate cuts by the Fed in his speech in Jackson Hole and the markets rally towards the weekend. The markets are 91% expecting a rate cut on September 17.
These are the most important dates for the coming week:
Monday: 10:00 ifo Business Climate Index (DE)
Thursday: 13:00 GDP figures (USA)
Friday: 14:00 Inflation data (DE)

Today, Jerome Powell is giving a speech, and many people are wondering: will the U.S. central bank cut interest rates? Right now, most experts think it won’t happen—at least not yet. Inflation is still a concern, and Powell has said he wants to be careful before making any big decisions. The chance of a rate cut today is low—around 20% or less.
At the same time, there's a big fight going on between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Trump is angry because Musk doesn’t support his new law, the “Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB). Now Trump is saying negative things about Musk and hinting he might take away government help from Musk’s companies. This fight is making investors nervous and causing Tesla’s stock to drop. $TSLA (+7.29%)
About that bill: it’s very expensive. Experts say it could add over $3 trillion to the U.S. national debt in the next 10 years. It gives more money to the military and cuts taxes but also removes funds for healthcare $PFE (-3.59%) and clean energy $FSLR (-0.7%) . Some people say it could hurt the economy in the long run.
Lastly, let’s look at the 10-year bond—an important signal for the economy. Right now, the yield is about 4.19%, which is lower than it was a few weeks ago. When bond yields fall, it often means investors expect the economy to slow down and that interest rates might be cut soon.
In short: Powell is being cautious, Trump and Musk are arguing, and the bond market is flashing warning signs. Together, these things could shape what’s coming next for the U.S. economy. $SPPX (-0.47%)
