Monday:

Slightly better economic data from China 🇨🇳. Industrial production is up, but Chinese consumption continues to cause problems. The growth rate in the retail sector was two percentage points below economists' estimates. The reason for this is the ongoing real estate crisis.

The Purchasing Managers' Index in Germany is worse than expected. Values above 50 signal growth, values below signal contraction. The index currently stands at 47.8 points, higher than in November but worse than expected. However, the manufacturing sector continues to plummet to 42.5 points. The service sector is at 51 points.

Tuesday:

Several insider purchases at $TMV (-1,24%) Teamviewer, after the share was sold off due to the 1E purchase. We ourselves hold the share in our value portfolio.

Retail sales in the USA 🇺🇸 are slightly above expectations. Compared to the previous month, they increased by 0.7%, while experts had expected 0.6%. Car sales in particular were higher than expected.

Wednesday:

The equipment manufacturer $M5Z (-66,19%) Manz slides into insolvency. Most recently, the company focused on production technology for battery factories. However, the boom in battery factories was not quite as strong as expected. The share is down more than 80% today. In 2021, the share was still trading at more than 70 euros.

The Fed cuts interest rates again by a quarter of a percentage point, but holds out the prospect of fewer rate cuts in the coming year.

Thursday:

The US economy is growing more strongly than previously thought, with consumer spending in particular boosting growth. Consumer spending rose by 3.7% in the third quarter. GDP increased by 3.1 %. Exports also exceeded preliminary estimates. This means that the Fed is unlikely to cut interest rates more than twice in the coming year.

Friday:

Today, however, there is a direct counter-indicator with regard to the Fed's decision. Inflation in the USA 🇺🇸 is rising, but less strongly than expected. At 2.4%, inflation was only slightly higher than in October (2.3%).

[Watch-List-News 🔭] - 𝐖𝐨𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐠𝐞𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐞 for Manz AG 🌍🚘☀️🔋? 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝟑𝐃 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚!

After the 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐳 𝐀𝐆 $M5Z (-66,19%) was awarded the contract to build BMW's battery production line last week, today comes an interesting announcement about an investment in a 3D printing company called Q.big 3D.

We definitely think this is an exciting investment, which shows us the foresight and innovation of MANZ Ag. 𝐆𝐥𝐞𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐰𝐨𝐡𝐥 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐭 𝐳𝐮 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐄𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐮𝐟 𝐝𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐤𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐡ä𝐟𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐳𝐮𝐤ü𝐧𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐙𝐚𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐦𝐞𝐧. A few interesting projects (far in the future) can possibly be implemented, but it will not have a significant impact on Manz Ag's operating figures overnight. Furthermore, it can be noted that while other companies are just in a takeover frenzy, Manz AG is content with a minor investment for the time being. A conservative path for the ambitious Manz AG for the time being.

𝐀𝐮𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐥ä𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐡, 𝐰𝐢𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐠𝐭 𝐳𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧:

"By partnering with Q.big 3D, we are further expanding our technology and competence portfolio. After the investment in CADIS Engineering GmbH, a specialist for industrial inkjet systems, this is now the next step to be able to offer our customers, especially from the automotive industry, an even more comprehensive service portfolio in the future, for example in the context of prototype production of battery modules or in sampling for pre-series developments. In addition, this will strengthen our Contract Manufacturing division, because with the innovative technology of Q.big 3D, we can produce special parts for our customers on a large scale much faster and more cost-effectively than before."

Sono Motors - The company wants to accelerate the solar-powered automotive industry. Their solar-electric car Zion already has 16,000 pre-orders. The vehicles are scheduled to start production in the first half of 2023. So far, the company has posted a loss of $108.8 million, but that is expected to change as deliveries begin.

When it goes public, Sono Motors plans to issue 10 million shares at a price of $14 to $16.

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 🏛️

Ceconomy ( $CEC1 ) - The group wants to expand with its Media Markt and Saturn brands and open 35 department stores. Group CEO Wildberger is pursuing the goal of becoming the first omnichannel platform that combines e-commerce and in-store retail. In doing so, he even wants to compete with Amazon ( $AMZ (+0,13%) ). During Corona, Ceconomy was already able to significantly improve logistics and thus shorten delivery times.

The stores will become smaller and more "smart shops" of 600 to 800 square meters will be built in the city centers, because 33% of the total turnover is already attributable to online trade.

Bayer ( $BAYN (+0,25%) ) - Bayer was supported by strong demand for seeds and crop protection products as well as over-the-counter medicines in the last quarter. Bayer shares recently rose 2.16 percent to €51.09. There will also be a change at the head of the Crop Science division. Rodrigo Santos will succeed Liam Condon, who terminated his contract early, as COO. In the third quarter, Bayer was able to increase sales for the entire group by almost 15 percent year-on-year to €9.8 billion. In total, the company made a profit of 85 million euros. The profit was depressed by the high costs of restructuring measures.

Elon Musk - The founder of Tesla ( $TL0 (-0,03%) ), let his fans vote on Twitter whether he should sell ten percent of his Tesla shares. More recently, he has been called upon to pay more taxes to help solve famine problems. Out of just over 3.5 million users, 58 percent voted in favor of a sale. This means that the block of shares to be sold would currently be worth about US$20 billion. Based on this vote, Tesla's share price collapsed by 8.47% to 965.66 euros.

Gazprom ( $SCF ) - After several months of energy crisis and rising prices, the Russian gas company is once again supplying gas to Germany and Austria under pressure from Putin. Gazprom's vice president also said that Russia has no interest in such high gas prices, as it would accelerate the transition to renewable energy in Europe.

The crypto-currency market's gold rush - Last night, the two leading crypto-currencies Bitcoin ( $BTC-EUR (-1,07%) ) and Ethereum ( $ETH-USD (-0,24%) ) were able to reach new all-time highs. Bitcoin was able to set the mark now at $68,642.00 with a daily increase of almost 5%. This brings its market capitalization to $1.28 trillion, with bitcoin managing to leave Tesla ( $TL0 (-0,03%) ) behind it. Ethereum followed Bitcoin and also hit a new all-time high of $4,857.25. Successes like these have been evident in the market in recent weeks. For example, Cardano ( $ADA-USD (-1,88%) ), Ethereum's competitor, gained 12 percent overnight, and Litecoin ( $LTC-EUR (+3,43%) ), which had long been treading water, rose 20.3 percent in one day. This very strong performance, which can be seen across all crypto-currencies, led to the total market capitalization of all crypto-currencies crossing the US$3 trillion mark for the first time.

Shiba Inu- The co-founder and creator of Dogecoin, the origin of all

"meme coins" explicitly distanced himself from Shiba Inu on Sunday. He also stressed that he himself was not the holder of the coin. Before that, various theories have been circulating that he might be involved in the project.

Very interesting company, which has already performed well in recent months.
