𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 🏛️

China/USA - US gas to China instead of Europe? According to Handelsblatt, a billion-dollar deal between the U.S. and China could be imminent, and this in the midst of the gas crisis. Among others, Sinopec ($CHU (-1.38%)) and the China National Offshore Oil Company ($NC2B) are said to be negotiating with U.S. exporters on the supply of liquefied natural gas. Long-term supply agreements have been demanded in the People's Republic to counteract the security of supply in China. Thus, higher prices to be achieved in China than in Europe are leading to an increasing number of tankers with liquefied natural gas heading for China. As a result, wholesale prices in Europe have also risen enormously since the beginning of the year.

IG Bau - Now there is finally a compromise between IG Bau and employers in the long-running collective bargaining negotiations. Workers in the German construction industry will gradually receive more money and will also receive a Corona bonus of 500 euros in the west and 220 euros in the east. In addition, the workers' often long journeys to the construction site could now be compensated.

By 2026, there is also to be a complete alignment of east-west salaries, which every employer can also do earlier.

Bitcoin ($BTC-EUR (+0.22%)) - Following imminent ETF approval, the bitcoin price briefly broke through the $60,000 level for the first time since April. After many ups and downs in recent months, bitcoin was able to regain strong momentum. The price was driven by the probable approval of several Bitcoin futures ETFs by the "Securities and Exchange Commission". Thus, it will soon be possible to trade with them in the USA.
