Thursday:
The war of Isreal and Hamas now has a concrete impact on an asset class: cryptocurrencies. Apparently, cryptocurrencies in particular have been used to finance terror. Israeli police now froze all crypto accounts used to publicly solicit donations. Most of the accounts were held at Binance. Binance confirms cooperation with Isreal. However, the SEC is also suing Binance, so in the US the events also have possible consequences for the world's largest crypto exchange. $BTC (-0,28 %)
Inflation data from the US is not coming in well. The inflation rate remains at 3.7%. A decline was expected.
Friday:
Still virtually no inflation in China. Consumer prices stagnated again, a slight increase was expected. China's foreign trade also continues to shrink. Exports and imports each fell by 6.2% compared to the same period last year. Experts see a slow, temporary recovery of the economy at the end of 2023.
Also $VOW3 (+0,29 %) VW also seems to be slowly stabilizing in China. In September, 0.9% fewer vehicles were sold than in the previous month. Worldwide, however, VW delivered 2.3 million vehicles in Q3, which is 7.4% more than in the same period last year. VW is able to make up for the problems in China with significant increases in North America and Europe. This is a healthy development, as it reduces dependence on China. Electric cars already accounted for 7.9% of total sales so far in 2023, or about 530,000 cars. By comparison, Tesla sold only 1.3 million vehicles in the same period.
$EH Ehang gets mega-approval in China. China's civil aviation authority has approved EH216-S. This is an unmanned drone with autopilot.

Hey,
Do you think it would be useful $BIRK (-1,18 %) (Birkenstock) to buy? Is supposed to go on the NYSE tomorrow. I am undecided. Somehow I have the feeling that Birkenstock is overvalued. Especially recently, other IPOs have gone to the exchange which were highly valued and the shares have gone south relatively quickly, for example: $CART .
Would times like to know your opinion on this.
