and here are today's top stories.

Today’s business brief starts with digital assets crossing further
into the mainstream. Gemini’s IPO put crypto squarely back on the
big board, and alongside peers like Bullish, it underlines how far
institutional demand and stablecoin infrastructure have come. The
message is simple: the pipes between Wall Street and Web3 are
getting wider.

Bonds, meanwhile, are reminding everyone who sets the cost of
money. Elevated long-term yields are tightening financial
conditions, squeezing equity multiples and mortgage affordability.
With the ECB holding rates steady, German home loans continue to
track higher Bund yields—meaning buyers who need financing should
plan with little slack.

Commodities add another twist. Silver, platinum, and palladium have
outperformed, but gold ETCs don’t always mirror spot—fees and
tracking can bite. And after a short rally in lithium, a true turn
requires more evidence, even as EV adoption supports demand over
the long run.

On the corporate side, Puma faces activist heat, with a bold idea
of merging with Adidas floating around. Lufthansa is centralizing
network, sales, and loyalty to deliver a consistent premium
product, while Volkswagen pushes back the launch of new ID models,
complicating plant schedules. Microsoft also finds détente with
Brussels over Teams.

Finally, Hannover Re looks like a post-pullback opportunity, yet
the DAX still can’t crack fresh highs. Strong earnings, yes—but
pricing in a world of higher yields is a different game.

That's today's business update. Thanks for tuning in to Business
