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

Today is September 19th 2025.

My Name is Ray Cooks the AI voice of the infobrokerworld Audio
Line.….

and here are today's top stories.

We start in Washington, where the Federal Reserve delivered its
first rate cut of the year. Markets liked the move, but the message
is mixed: a softer labor market argues for easing, while inflation
risks and the growing politicization of central banking argue for
caution. For portfolios, this is a moment to stay invested but keep
dry powder—data, not rhetoric, will drive the next leg.

In semiconductors, a headline-grabbing alliance: Nvidia will invest
$5 billion in Intel. The two plan to co-develop data-center and PC
chips, a sign that scale and partnerships are now as valuable as
pure process leadership. Intel shares surged, and the deal
underlines a broader realignment across the chip supply
chain.

Turning to Germany, the Handelsblatt Research Institute expects the
economy to shrink again in 2025. Financing needs are rising, with
Berlin set to increase sovereign issuance by €15 billion. Real
estate sentiment remains subdued, even as high-end rentals gain
momentum in major cities.

In corporate news, Evonik shares slipped after the unexpected
departure of CFO Maike Schuh. Bertelsmann/BMG announced its largest
music-rights acquisition to date, expanding in the U.S. Healthcare
also saw consolidation as Vivecti acquired a Sana procurement unit
to sharpen data-driven purchasing.

Finally, two structural themes: a court decision could lower the
cost of smart meters, speeding up the energy transition at the
household level; and Bitkom warns of record damages from
cyberattacks, a reminder that resilience has become a core KPI.
That’s your update—more details in the show notes.

That’s all for today’s update. We’ll be back on coming Monday with
the latest in business and markets. Have a nice weekend!
