What's unraveling the economic powerhouse of Europe?Once a stalwart of European stability, Germany's economic engine is facing unprecedented challenges. This deep dive explores the intricate factors driving its recession and the far-reaching implications for the continent.
Geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions have wreaked havoc on Germany's economy. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, coupled with the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, has disrupted energy supplies, increased production costs, and hindered global trade.
Rising interest rates and weak global demand have further exacerbated the downturn. The European Central Bank's aggressive monetary tightening to combat inflation has made borrowing more expensive for businesses and consumers, dampening investment and spending. Meanwhile, a global economic slowdown, driven by factors such as rising interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and inflation, has reduced demand for German exports, a crucial driver of its economy.
The consequences for Germany and Europe are profound, with potential for increased unemployment, slower growth, and political instability. As Germany is one of Europe's largest economies, its downturn has a ripple effect on other countries in the region. The recession could lead to job losses, as businesses cut costs to weather the storm, exacerbating social tensions and increasing the burden on government welfare systems. Slower growth in Germany will contribute to slower growth in the Eurozone as a whole, limiting the ECB's ability to raise interest rates further and potentially hindering its efforts to combat inflation. Economic downturns can often lead to political instability, as governments face increased pressure to implement policies that alleviate economic hardship. This could lead to political gridlock or even changes in government.
Can Germany weather this storm? Join us as we delve into the complexities of this economic enigma and explore potential paths forward.
Rheinmetall just surpassed their All-time high!Good afternoon everyone. GETTEX:RHM just surpassed their All-Time high (Adjusted for dividends). They tested their new resistance at €568.274, which is about 0.8% above their previous All-Time high from April 09th.
There will likely be a small correction in the next few days. Worst case, Rheinmetall has a downward potential of 17.9% to their last big support zone, but in my opinion, this is highly unlikely.
I will personally hold Rheinmetall, as I'm still seeing big potential in them.
I'm working on a bigger Analysis on Rheinmetall's Long-Term potential, which will be published in the next few days. Please check out my Analysis on the Uranium mine GETTEX:CJ6
I wish you a pleasant weekend, see you soon.
German Bund Is On The Rise, So As EURUSD PairWe talked about a bullish turn on German Bund back on June 20th, where we mentioned and highlighted more gains within wave C of an A-B-C rally, which can also recover the EURUSD pair.
As you can see today on August 05, German Bund is extending strongly higher within a five-wave bullish cycle for wave C with space up to 140 area. At the same time EURUSD is also nicely recovering due to a positive correlation and with still bullish Bund, EURUSD can easily see more upside.
Dax 40 Germany 40Just a simple spike and channel pattern, and I'm waiting for the price to move in a trading range for a short time before the next upward movement. For now, I'm looking to take advantage of the current situation. I'll take small profits that align with the upward spikes as I try to catch the small upward movements in the lower timeframe. Hopefully, you'll make some money from this. As always, thank me later!
German Bund Can Stabilize and Recover The EURUSD PairGerman Bund is nicely breaking above important trendline after a completed complex w-x-y corrective decline in wave B, which can now send the price higher for wave C towards 140 resistance area. If we respect a positive correlation between German Bund and EURUSD currency pair, then EURUSD could easily stabilize and recover.

Macro Monday 38 - German Zew Sentiment Index (extra chart)Macro Monday 38 - Please review the full report shared prior to this. This is only the German chart in Isolation.
GERMAN ZEW INDEX
The German ZEW Index data is not derived from all the countries in Europe, it is derived from the views of collection of 350 economists and analysts that operate from and represent the German economy. As Germany is the largest economy within the Euro Area, its performance significantly impacts the overall region and this this metric could be considered the economic sentiment spearhead of Europe. Germany is also the 4th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP. As of 2023, its nominal GDP stands at approximately $4.43 trillion. This index could be monitored as a measure of not only European sentiment but as an important global sentiment gauge.
How to read the chart
The index ranges from -100 (pessimism) to +100 (optimism). 0 is neutral however the historical average reading for the German ZEW chart is 20.79 which is the point where the red area meets the green area on the chart. We show on the chart if we are above or below the average levels of optimism.
The current reading of 19.9 indicates current optimism among analysts for the next 6 months, however we are below the historical average of 20.79 thus a definitive move above this level this coming Tuesday could be a confirmation step into potential sustained optimism.
The Trend
Sentiment made a recovery from -61 in Sept 2022 to +19.9 in Feb 2024. We have moved from deep in negative sentiment territory into positive numbers but we are not above the historic average of 20.79 yet.
Lets see how both perform this coming Tuesday. The beauty of these charts is that you can review both on my Trading View at any stage, press play and it will update with the most recent release. This way you will have a full explainer of what this dataset is and can keep yourself up to date on its direction with the color coded map, the average line and the neutral line, all of which will at a glance give you a good indication of where we stand in terms of trend and sentiment. I'll keep you informed here too

Porsche reclaims higher price tags and wants to join its peersLast year in September, we analyzed Porsche's stock following its 2022 initial public offering. At the time, we noted Porsche's shares had great prospects in the long term and viewed a potential pullback in price as a great opportunity to buy this stock at relatively reasonable prices (judging by Porsche’s performance during its short life span on the exchange). When Porsche was still trading above €100, we eyed an ideal entry 10% below its market price. However, we also emphasized the need to leave some more capital aside to execute additional purchases once the opportunity arises. After patiently waiting a few months, we signaled another opportunity in late January 2024 when Porsche was trading near its all-time lows, looking relatively cheap to its peers like BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Fast forward to today, and shares of Porsche are trading up about 30% from that level and above the level we signaled in late September 2023 as well (above the area between €90 and €92). As far as our outlook goes, we remain bullish on Porsche in the long term and believe it has a chance to reclaim all-time highs and continue higher (though it might be a rocky ride).

Volkswagen: Limit Order Set for Surge to €200!At Volkswagen, we're now placing a limit order for Wave (ii), as we've once again failed to master and reclaim the trend channel. Consequently, we've fallen below it again. However, we believe we're dealing with Wave (ii) and anticipate a significant push upwards after a bit more selling pressure. This situation has a somewhat sour aspect, as it's possible we're facing an unfinished Wave ((ii)). In such a scenario, we should form a double bottom, given that the currently assumed Wave (i) is precisely at 100% of the overarching Wave ((ii)). Therefore, we want to set an relatively larger stop-loss to ensure safety and avoid being stopped out. Looking upwards, we have high expectations for Volkswagen and therefore have no concerns about sacrificing a few percentage points downward, as the upward potential is significant, with a minimum level of euros up to 200€. Hence, we see no issue in slightly increasing the stop-loss.
