President Donald Trump has recently announced plans to implement "reciprocal tariffs"
aimed at addressing perceived trade imbalances between the United States and its trading partners. This policy intends to match the tariffs that other countries impose on U.S. exports by levying equivalent tariffs on imports from those nations. The goal is to promote fairness and encourage countries to reduce their tariffs on American goods. Source. Bloomberg, ChatGPT

The Goldman Sachs Bull/Bear Market Indicator measuring market and economic sentiment hit 73% 🚀
One of the largest readings in history. As you can see, this is in line with the previous peaks that occurred before bear markets in 1999, 2007, and 2020. The index uses US stock market valuations, government bonds yield curve, unemployment, inflation, and other economic metrics. ➡️ It simply means that the sentiment has rarely been this euphoric before.

Germany will hold a snap national election on February 23 following the collapse of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's three-way coalition.
Currently, the CDU/CSU leads in Reuters polling aggregate by 8 points over the AfD. The far-right AfD has gained 4.6 points since June 2024. The SPD, the current leaders in the national parliament, have lost 12.1 points since the last federal election, and are currently in third place. Germany has two centrist, “big-tent” parties: Scholz's centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) and the opposition conservatives, an alliance of the Christian Democrats (CDU) and their Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU). Both have lost support in recent years, with smaller parties such as the Greens and far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) gaining ground. The SPD, conservatives, Greens and AfD are all fielding candidates for chancellor. Also running are the pro-market Free Democrats (FDP), the far-left Linke and the leftist Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), who are all at risk of missing the 5% threshold to make it into parliament, according to opinion polls.
