🔴 Germany’s 10-year bond yield rising to 4% is “entirely feasible” as a reset in the country’s borrowing costs plays out, according to Aviva Investors.
The rate surged to nearly 3% in recent weeks as Germany’s incoming chancellor spearheaded a huge spending package that is expected to lead to billions of euros in extra bond sales. Vasileios Gkionakis, senior economist and strategist at Aviva Investors, says yields are likely to keep rising as the fiscal measures boost economic growth. ➡️ 4% for German 10-Year Bund would mean German mortgages at 5% to 6% and the burst of the epic German real estate bubble. Would it also mean Italian, Spanish and French bonds yields at a level that could trigger the next Euro crisis. Good luck. Source: Bloomberg

Ferrari, which spun out from Fiat seven years before Porsche went public, has raced ahead in the (nearly) 10 years since it hit the market.
Unlike its German rival, the Prancing Horse has kept investors enamoured with measuredly infrequent supercar drops, impressive delivery figures, a loyal customer base, and (unlike other luxury titans) its relatively low exposure to China — though even “relatively low” can still be too high. Ferrari shares were up 760% from its 2015 IPO at Tuesday’s close. Source: Chartr
Greenland Election:
A SURPRISING RESULT ‼️ The Democrats (Center-Right) and Naleraq (Right) have almost 54% of the vote, meaning if they wanted to they could form a ruling coalition that, from what I have read, would likely be more USA centric than Denmark centric. About 65% of the total vote is in (51/72 stations), Democrats in first then Naleraq and then Inuit. Source: CA ET Nerd @earlyvotedata
