Monday:

Inflation in Germany falls well below the ECB's 2% target. In September, inflation was still at 1.6%. The sharp fall in fuel prices in particular has lowered inflation.

Tuesday:

The labor market data is worse than expected. In the USA 🇺🇸 there are still a surprisingly large number of job vacancies. Initial market participants fear that the interest rate cuts in the US came too late.

Wednesday:

$TSLA (-1 %) Tesla misses expectations once again. The carmaker, which is still valued like a tech startup on the stock market, delivered 462,890 vehicles in the third quarter, while analysts were expecting 470,000 vehicles. If Tesla does not significantly increase sales in the fourth quarter, Tesla would have declining sales figures for the first time in its history. Once again, Tesla is only boiling with water. We are currently not seeing much of the priced-in disruption of the car market. That could change on 10.10.

Friday:

But no cooling on the labor market in the USA 🇺🇸. According to the labor market report, 254,000 more jobs were created than the 144,000 expected. This data proves the Fed right that it did not start cutting interest rates too late.
