Global markets are entering a phase of reassessment. A costly
operational mistake at a crypto exchange has pushed Bitcoin lower,
reminding investors that digital assets still carry structural
risks. In the automotive sector, Stellantis has announced massive
write-downs, scaling back its electric-vehicle ambitions and
battery projects, including plans in Germany.

At the same time, competition is heating up. Chinese carmakers such
as BYD and MG are expanding aggressively in Germany, forcing
established brands to rethink pricing and distribution. Toyota’s
unexpected leadership change also signals a renewed focus on
efficiency and profitability.

Financial markets are rotating. Heavy spending on artificial
intelligence is no longer rewarded automatically, yet Amazon,
Microsoft, and Google continue to invest billions, convinced of
long-term gains. In contrast, Berkshire Hathaway is once again seen
as a safe haven amid volatility.

In commodities, shortages of physical gold and silver are
tightening supply, while real-estate lending stabilizes without
reaching past highs. Overall, investors are diversifying and
adjusting expectations.
