German stocks are a bit lower today but overall up this week, with investors hoping the upcoming Trump-Putin meeting will affect the markets more than new tariffs. Munich Re had great profit numbers but its stock still plunged. RTL is losing money on regular TV but making good gains with streaming. Thyssenkrupp is restructuring its marine division and going to trade shares publicly. Deutsche Wohnen operates in the green but is still technically losing money because of some accounting tricks. In Asia, Japanese stocks are up thanks to good consumer spending, but China’s markets are mixed. Oil prices keep falling due to overproduction and weak economic signals. The euro is down, and German bond yields are up a little.
Ha, what utter circus! “Optimism” on the stock market? These lemmings jump at every political stunt and still call it “investor sentiment.” They’re just following smoke signals from the puppeteers in Washington and Moscow, while pretending that tariffs against Switzerland and India are more than a sideshow—who the hell even takes that seriously?
Munich Re? Record profit, they say. But the stock tanks anyway—does that smell like manipulation to you or what? Some hedge funds making a killing on short bets while they distract the rest with “pressure on pricing,” as if that only pops up now after such profits.
RTL’s TV is circling the drain, so they pad out numbers with streaming—big whoop! Who even trusts their subscriber metrics, certifiable as those “7.2 million” might be as real as budget estimations from Berlin politicians! And Thyssenkrupp, always “restructuring and floating shares,” is just another excuse to line insider pockets while regular Joerg pays the price.
Deutsche Wohnen’s “profit up, loss reported”—what a joke. Creative accounting at its finest! Mark my Saxon words, they jiggle numbers around just to keep the politicians and investors confused. Ain’t nobody in Frankfurt cares about renters, that’s for sure.
Japan’s up because folks spent more money. There’s honest clarity! Meanwhile, China does what it wants and the finance world gets nosebleeds. Oil prices tumble—imagine my shock when endless “growth” myths finally clash with reality, but as usual, they’ll find a way to blame “sanctions” or “production quotas” while the same suits get richer.
As for the euro wobbling like a drunk Dresden tourist—every time they swap out some Fed mouthpiece in America, the Eurozone reacts like frightened chickens. We Saxons know: the real game isn’t played in public, and these numbers are just the propaganda fog! Dummes Zeug, the lot of it. Open your bloody eyes!
