Global Trade Shows Signs of Life: August Numbers Spark Cautious Optimism
The international trade landscape is displaying modest signs of revival, according to recent data. After a sluggish performance in early summer, August figures indicate a more robust growth of 0.7% in both exports and imports. This uptick, while preliminary, represents the strongest monthly gain since February.
However, experts warn against premature celebration. The observed increase, though encouraging, doesn't necessarily signal a decisive turnaround in global commerce. Economic analysts emphasize the need for sustained momentum before declaring a trend reversal in world trade patterns.

Germany’s Electric Car Market Crashes as Subsidies Fade – Industry in Peril
Germany’s electric vehicle (EV) market is in freefall, with sales plunging by 69% in August compared to the previous year. With only 27,000 EVs sold, the once-promising green transformation faces a harsh reality. Electric cars now represent just 14% of the market, down from over 15% a year ago. This sharp decline is a blow to automakers who had planned to pivot away from combustion engines.
The auto industry is a cornerstone of Germany’s economy, which is the largest in the Eurozone. The ongoing crisis in the automotive sector, combined with a broader economic downturn, threatens to ripple across the entire region. Last year’s sales boom, driven by expiring government subsidies, masked deeper issues. Total car sales in Germany also plummeted by 28% in August, hitting 197,000 vehicles. With the recession deepening, can the industry survive without state support?
Last week, Mario Draghi already hinted at the state of the European Union's economy. He wants to see at least 800 billion euros a year in fresh subsidies with credit money in the market to help the anaemic economy get back on its feet. well, good luck with that!

Interest rate race: Commodity super cycle in preparation
The Fed's interest rate cut yesterday should have made it clear to everyone that central banks are in a race to the bottom and are deliberately devaluing their currencies. The splitting up of the energy markets thanks to the rise of the BRICs and the associated targeted devaluation of the Chinese yuan is exerting immense pressure on the dollar. The interest rate cuts we will see in the coming months should set a possible commodity super cycle in motion and we will reap the harvest of extremely high inflation a little later!

Tech Giants Warn: EU Regulations May Stifle AI Innovation
Leading tech companies, including Meta and Spotify, have sounded the alarm on EU tech regulations potentially hampering AI advancements. In a joint statement, over two dozen firms expressed concerns that Europe might miss out on AI-driven economic growth due to inconsistent regulatory decisions. The letter, spearheaded by Meta, urges the EU to streamline regulations and modernize data protection interpretations.
This comes as tech behemoths like Apple and Meta delay introducing new AI features in Europe, citing regulatory uncertainties. The EU's Digital Markets Act, aimed at ensuring fair digital markets, has raised concerns about product integrity and user privacy among some companies.

The now officially launched cycle of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, flanked by its subordinate central banks in the western hemisphere, could, if everything goes very badly, end in a major fireworks display. This would happen precisely when the BRICS countries, which are clearly forming an energy and resource-strong political bloc, generate pricing power and then encounter a sick fiat money competition that has to keep printing money against its own decline. What this means for inflation in the future, commodity prices and supply chains, we cannot even guess now. Perhaps we don't even want to!

Central banks, including the Fed, are chasing the two-year bond yields like a little puppy dog, and there is still a lot of room to catch up, about 150 basis points. Let the fiat shitshow begin!

The fact that the second assassination attempt on former President Donald #Trump was almost not covered at all in the European media and only tendentiously in the #US media shows that the media sector has long been subsumed into the propaganda machine of the power complex. It is up to us to process and discuss information responsibly and to generate a fruitful public space. #nostr #freedomofspeech

What a shitshow! The markets stare like a manic gang of depressives at the actions of a single institution, the #FED. Me too, obviously. This institution derives much of its power from this herd behavior. Stop the #FiatPonzi! #Bitcoin

Generally speaking, how bad must things be for the European Union as a business location if even billions in subsidies can no longer convince foreign companies to invest in the old continent? We are on the way to becoming an industrial museum that can only be kept half alive by subsidies and state interventionism.
We can see how this works by looking at the example of the green raid, which politicians have labeled the Green New Deal: a panic narrative is created that helps squeeze money out of the taxpayer, an incentive structure is created by a belt of media and subsidy companies that defend this narrative and, ultimately, pseudo-growth that provides the state with further revenue. It's an economic death spiral!

Europe's Tech Ambitions Falter: Semiconductor Industry at Crossroads
The European Union's aspirations to become a global powerhouse in semiconductor production are facing significant headwinds. Recent developments have cast doubt on the region's ability to meet its ambitious goal of doubling its share in the global chip market to 20% by 2030.
Industry experts, including Frank Bösenberg, head of the Silicon Saxony trade association, now view this target as "almost unattainable." The setback comes in the wake of Intel's decision to halt construction of its chip factory in Magdeburg, Germany, despite substantial promised subsidies.
This development underscores a broader trend of major tech investments bypassing Europe, raising concerns about the continent's competitiveness in high-tech sectors.
The absence of cutting-edge semiconductor fabrication facilities on European soil means continued dependence on overseas suppliers for advanced chips crucial for AI and autonomous driving technologies.
The challenges extend beyond Intel, with other U.S. firms like Wolfspeed reconsidering their investment plans in Europe.
These setbacks highlight structural issues in the European business environment, including high levels of regulation and taxation, which may be deterring potential investors.
As Asia and the United States forge ahead in semiconductor technology, Europe faces the risk of falling behind in yet another critical tech domain. This situation calls for a reassessment of Europe's industrial policies and investment strategies to maintain its relevance in the global high-tech landscape.

ECB's Kazaks Signals More Rate Cuts on the Horizon
European Central Bank (ECB) member Martins Kazaks hinted at further interest rate reductions in the coming months. Speaking on Latvian public television, the central bank chief expressed confidence in continued rate cuts, despite two reductions already implemented this year.
Last Thursday, the ECB lowered its key deposit rate by 0.25 percentage points, continuing the policy shift initiated in June. While ECB President Christine Lagarde remains cautious about future moves, Kazaks aligns with market expectations of rates reaching 2.5% by mid-2025, down from the current 3.5%.

Commodity Supercycle on the Horizon?
The S&P Commodity Index vs S&P 500 ratio suggests we may be on the cusp of a major commodity bull market. Historical data shows commodities becoming cheap relative to equities, reminiscent of previous cycles. Gold's recent strength could be the canary in the coal mine, potentially followed by industrial metals and other raw materials if monetary policy remains accommodative.
