The DAX has hit a new all-time high, reaching 18,936 points. This
surge is largely fueled by hopes that the European Central Bank
might cut interest rates again. However, despite positive inflation
data, which has now fallen to the ECB’s target of 2%, investor
uncertainty remains high.

Switching gears to the energy sector: It turns out that major
building renovations don’t always guarantee a higher resale value.
Sellers are finding that properties with poor energy efficiency are
still facing significant price cuts, no matter how much they invest
in upgrades.

Over to the shipbuilding industry—Meyer Werft is facing a critical
period. The company is in discussions to secure financial support
from both the state and its owners. A resolution is expected by
mid-September, which could be a turning point for the struggling
shipyard.

Finally, in the banking sector, DZ Bank is grappling with rising
provisions for non-performing loans. This indicates that consumers
are under increasing financial strain, a troubling sign for the
broader economy.

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