recentlyIch hatte mich bei dem Vergleich auf das Model S bezogen von dem zu sprachst. Das Fzg. und der von mir genannte befinden sich in etwa in derselben Preisklasse. Wenn ich einen Dacia für 12000€ mit einer S-Klasse für 120000€ vergleiche ist schon klar, dass ich in der Qualität Abstriche machen muss. Ich finde es bemerkenswert wie locker ihr das Thema "Elektronik" nehmt. Ich kenne Fälle, da sind Fahrzeuge 8 Wochen in der Werkstatt weil die Fehler nicht zu finden sind. Die Elektronik ist der moderne Rost.

All eyes on next week’s Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium where comments on inflation, bond asset purchase tapering will be closely watched. The dollar rose for a fifth day, while Treasury yields continued a slide. Oil prices are currently lower, on track for a 7-day losing streak (longest decline wince 2019) while the U.S. dollar is set for its biggest weekly gain since June (weighing again on commodity prices), currently up at 9 ½ month highs around 93.65 for the dollar index (DXY) with Sept 2020 highs around 94.74.

recentlyThursday, August 19, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow -275.00 0.79% 34,612 S&P 500 -31.25 0.72% 4,362 Nasdaq -86.50 0.58% 14,763 U.S. futures are looking sharply lower, adding to yesterday’s late day slide and tracking weakness in Europe and Asia as noise gets louder that the central bank could start dialing back on pandemic stimulus programs. Stock markets tumbled late Wednesday, closing at the lows after minutes from the July meeting of the FOMC showed a move to pare $80B per month in Treasuries and $40B per month of mortgage securities could happen this year. While there’s still debate regarding the timing and pace, officials said tapering would not necessarily mean an imminent rate increase. European stocks slumped the most in a month as well following the U.S. move. Other factors hitting stocks include China slowing growth fears as the delta variant continues to disrupt global growth. Those fears aren’t helped by a study from the U.K. that showed coronavirus vaccines are less effective against the delta variant and calls from the Biden Administration for a third booster shot. While the next meeting of the FOMC will occur on September 21-22, Fed Chair Jay Powell is scheduled to speak at Jackson Hole next week. Treasuries bounce with yields slipping as the dollar hits its highest levels in about 4-months. Oil prices are falling for a 6th straight day, with WTI crude down over 3%, dropping to around $63 per barrel for WTI as investors remain worried about the outlook for fuel demand as COVID-19 cases surge worldwide Fed officials continue to call for a “taper” sooner. Yesterday St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said he preferred tapering to end by the first quarter of 2022, with the last three months of next year being a “logical place” for a rate increase. Several other Fed officials, including Robert Kaplan of Dallas and Esther George of Kansas City, have urged the central bank to begin removing stimulus as soon as the September meeting in recent days. Fed Chair Jerome Powell may also provide information in remarks to the central bank’s annual research conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, next week. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index fell -304 points (1.1%) to settle at 27,291, the Shanghai Index fell -19 points to 3,465 and the Hang Seng Index declined -550 points (or 2.1%) to settle at 25,316.

For the week, unofficially, the S&P rose 0.94%, the Dow added 0.78%, and the Nasdaq gained 1.11%.

recentlyEarly Look Friday, May 21, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 130.00 0.38% 34,158 S&P 500 13.25 0.32% 4,167 Nasdaq 33.00 0.24% 13,519 U.S. stocks are looking higher to end the week, adding to yesterday’s massive gains that saw major averages snap their 3-day losing streak, led by technology shares as Treasury yields remained subdued and on increased economic optimism after Americans filing for first-time unemployment benefits fell last week to a pandemic low of 444,000. It was another “buy the dip” reaction for major averages as the S&P avoided its longest losing streak since February with yesterday’s advance. Oil prices are looking higher, trying to snap its 3-day losing streak, while gold is little changed after a strong week of gains. Inflation fears still linger for markets as pricing fears remain as the economy improves, keeping gains in check for now. The U.S. Treasury, meanwhile, proposed a minimum global corporate tax rate of 15%, lower than earlier proposals of 21% that received pushback from other countries. Crypto currencies are steady after three days of extreme volatility. Yesterday’s big Nasdaq gains (1.77%) gave it a chance to avoid its fifth straight weekly decline heading into the trading week, which would be its longest in nine years (is up 0.8% heading into today). In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index rose 219 points to 28,317, the Shanghai Index slipped -20 points to 3,486, the Hang Seng Index edged higher 8 points to 28,458. In Europe, the German DAX is up about 25 points to 15,394, while the FTSE 100 is little changed at 7,015.

Energy and Materials were the biggest drags on the market, along with a plunge across the crypto currency space, led by Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the like. Today however, the crypto space is rebounding from overnight weakness with Bitcoin back above the $40K level (after dropping to $30K on Wednesday). The Nasdaq Composite Index is on pace for its worst monthly performance since September 2020, off by more than 5%, as rising inflation fears dent high growth stocks. Treasury yields are down slightly after topping 1.68% on Wednesday.
