The financial world is once again focused on the Federal Reserve,
where investigations into Chair Jerome Powell are creating
turbulence. Many see this as a direct challenge to the Fed’s
independence, a move that’s unsettling investors. Gold prices are
climbing to new highs, while the US dollar continues to weaken,
raising concerns about political interference from Donald Trump’s
camp.

Meanwhile, Germany’s stock market remains resilient. A new DAX
survey points to further gains, even as analysts warn of possible
corrections in the US. Industrial company Deutz is seeing strong
momentum, with its shares hitting their highest level since 2007,
driven by demand in the defense sector.

On the global stage, China’s ultra-high-voltage networks are
revolutionizing energy transport and becoming a major export
success. Europe, however, risks falling behind in this crucial
technology race. At the same time, the EU plans to relax tariffs on
Chinese electric vehicles, signaling a thaw in trade
tensions.

And in Germany’s tech scene, Polarise has secured €117 million to
build a data center for Deutsche Telekom, while the government is
investing €805 million in an AI Gigafactory—a clear sign that
artificial intelligence is now a national priority.

That wraps up today’s business headlines. Thanks for listening, and
