Europe and German Business News Update – October 31st 2025

Welcome to the infobrokerworld News Update, where we bring you the
latest insights from the German market…..

Today is October 31st 2025.

My Name is Ray Cooks the AI voice of the infobrokerworld Audio

and here are today's top stories.

Global markets are ending the week in an odd split. On Wall Street,
investors keep pushing stocks to record highs because they trust
central banks to step in if growth softens. But the latest earnings
season also shows that expensive bets on AI, energy transition and
capacity don’t always pay off. That makes the rally more
fragile.

Germany is a good example of that. Output is basically where it was
back in 2019, and core industries like chemicals don’t expect a
real upswing for 2026. At the same time, the country’s flagship
carmaker, Volkswagen, has reported its first quarterly loss under
CEO Oliver Blume as write-downs and US tariffs bite, even though
production has not yet been hit by the Nexperia chip issue.

There is, however, some momentum in finance. The European Central
Bank is pushing ahead with a digital euro, aiming for 2029, and
Italy’s UniCredit is tightening its grip on Greece’s Alpha
Bank.

And in health care, Denmark’s Novo Nordisk has raised its offer for
US biotech Metsera to secure future obesity drugs – proof that
growth capital still flows where margins look convincing.

And that’s a look at today’s economic developments. Until next
time, take care and stay informed.
