Germany’s economy faces renewed pressure as both the government and
the Federation of German Industries have cut their 2026 growth
outlook. Meanwhile, Tesla’s German plant in Grünheide is cutting
1,700 jobs — far more than expected — while Volkswagen turns to car
recycling in Zwickau to make better use of its capacity.

In finance, all eyes are on the European Central Bank’s latest
meeting minutes, with investors searching for clues about future
rate decisions. And across the Atlantic, Berkshire Hathaway’s
possible exit from Kraft Heinz has rattled markets.

On the tech front, Austrian fintech Bitpanda is expanding into
stock and ETF trading, while Netflix celebrates record subscriber
growth — but tempers expectations for the months ahead.
