Inflation - Inflation in the euro zone rose to 3.4%, estimated to rise to 3.3%. This is the highest level in 13 years. This is the third consecutive month that the inflation rate has been above the ECB's target. One of the main reasons for the increase is energy prices. If you exclude the main drivers food and energy prices, inflation is still at 1.9%, after it was still at 1.6% in August.
The DAX fell sharply today and broke through the 15,000-point mark.
Allianz ($ALV (-1%)) - The Munich-based company was able to transfer a legacy portfolio of Swiss life insurance policies to reinsurer Resolution Re. This will provide Allianz with a financial boost worth billions of euros, which should help protect against upcoming penalty payments.
In addition, Jacqueline Hunt, Member of the Board of Management for Asset Management and U.S. Life Insurance, has stepped down from her post early.

Twitter ($TWR) - The social media and news platform has been a central building block in terms of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and their uses for quite some time. In recent months, for example, more and more well-known personalities, such as Mike Tyson, Timmy Trumpet, Marshmello or Stephen Curry, changed their profile pictures into well-known NFTs (see picture). Predestined for the use as profile picture are especially avatar NFT projects like CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club or Cool Cats. However, a big problem up to now was that anyone could change their profile picture on Twitter into an NFT, even if this person was not the "rightful" owner of the NFT. Twitter now wants to combat this by using a new feature to verify the authenticity of an NFT. NFTs that were actually purchased by the owner of the Twitter account are then marked with a seal accordingly. This increases the usability of NFTs even further and makes it even more attractive for people to invest in them.
