The Swiss group $NESN (-1,69 %) Nestlé sells its peanut allergy business Palforzia. The biopharma company Stallergenes Greer is buying Nestlé's shares. However, Nestlé will continue to be involved in research successes.

Thursday:


$NESN (-1,69 %) Nestlé buys chocolate manufacturer Copenhagen for about EUR 500 million. This improves Nestlé's position in the Brazilian market.

$SAP (-0,16 %) SAP buys the software management company Leanix. The company offers a cloud platform for transparency of its own IT systems. Customers thus learn which IT systems they actually use, which helps with modernization. According to experts, the deal could have cost around 1.2 billion euros.

$AAPL (+0,17 %) Apple is under pressure because of bans in China. Allegedly, Beijing is banning officials from using IPhones. The ban affects a few million people, so the stock is also giving way. Already when Felix was in China, the state promoted switching to the Chinese manufacturers ZTE or Huawei. With the ban, China is now presumably also reacting to the USA's ban policy.

Initial jobless claims in the U.S. 🇺🇸 fell further to 216,000. This is the lowest level in 7 months and is increasingly fueling concerns that there could be another interest rate hike.

Friday:


Bad data from Japan 🇯🇵 makes for a bad start to the day. Japan's GDP is growing more slowly than expected. Japan grew 4.8% in the second quarter, but growth of 5.5% was expected.

In China 🇨🇳 , auto sales are picking up again for the first time since May. Compared to the previous year, car sales increased by 2.2%. Tesla in particular benefited from this, with almost 65,000 Teslas sold in China in August alone thanks to discount campaigns.

$1COV (-0,8 %) Covestro is finally ready for talks with Adnoc. The Abu Dhabi-based oil company wants to buy Covestro, but the Board of Management has so far rejected this. Talks were only held through advisors, but now official talks are being held. Adnoc would probably be willing to pay EUR 60 per share.
