Pharma and Industry
Bayer's stock took a sharp fall as the company adjusted its
earnings outlook, signaling tougher years ahead. The pharmaceutical
giant faces significant market pressures, and its downgraded profit
expectations have frustrated investors. Similarly, the industrial
chemical company Brenntag is struggling with weakened demand and
pricing pressures, resulting in a substantial drop in its stock
value.

Cryptocurrency Market
Bitcoin recently crossed the $90,000 threshold in a strong rally
that has experts predicting even more gains on the horizon. Among
those optimistic is fund manager Hendrik Leber, who invested in
Bitcoin early on and remains confident about future price
increases. Analysts see promising growth potential in the
cryptocurrency sector as interest continues to rise.

Metal Industry
In labor news, a major wage agreement was reached in the metal and
electronics industry. Employers and the IG Metall union agreed on a
5.1 percent pay increase in two stages for around 3.9 million
employees. This deal is seen as a compromise between union demands
and the economic realities faced by employers, providing support
for workers amid ongoing inflation concerns.

Technology and Finance
Japanese technology investor Softbank is increasing its investments
in artificial intelligence and has recently returned to
profitability. This financial flexibility allows the company to
keep funding promising, high-growth technologies that could shape
the future.
