and here are today's top stories.

First, we observe a notable slump in German shopping trends.
Consumers are increasingly losing interest in shopping and are
avoiding city centers. This decline in shopping enthusiasm isn't
just due to poor service but reflects a broader shift in consumer
behavior.

Next, we report a significant cyberattack on DG Immobilien
Management, the fund management branch of Volksbanken. This breach
could potentially affect tens of thousands of customers, with
highly sensitive information at risk.

In energy news, Total and EnBW have emerged victorious in an
offshore auction, securing wind licenses that are set to generate
billions in revenue. This auction marks a substantial financial
gain for the federal government through the strategic allocation of
these wind licenses.

Lastly, the German real estate market continues to experience a
downturn. House prices in major metropolitan areas have fallen,
with a reported average drop of 5.7% in the first quarter of 2024
compared to the previous year.
