Today, a historical review takes us back to the period of the Weimar Republic from 1918 to 1933. After the end of the First World War, the government printed money to finance war bonds, jobs for returning soldiers and reparations to the victorious powers. As a result, the money supply increased permanently, prices rose faster and faster, and purchasing power declined. Raw materials for the domestic economy had to be purchased more and more expensively from abroad, but since there were no longer enough goods available, prices continued to rise explosively. From 1922 onward, the talk was no longer of creeping inflation but of galloping inflation. Today, 100 years later, the German producer price index rose by over 45.8% in September. What do investors need to watch out for now?

Anyone who operates at PayPal, Meta or other tech giants has to play by the rules - so far, it's normal. But what happens when market power and regulatory demands cross borders? Just recently, PayPal published a policy that would have fined users USD 2,500 if they spread misinformation. After an outcry, the payment service provider rowed back and now claims that the policy was published "by mistake." So it was all just a coincidence?

It is going to be a lot of work! The Ukraine war is leaving its ugly mark on the humanitarian and material aspects. A lot of money is needed for reconstruction and the return of the many refugees. Since debt levels are high, interest rates will likely continue to rise to meet the growing need for capital. In addition, there is a shortage of fossil raw materials, and there is a threat of supply shortages. In order to avert a default, Russia has settled USD 650 million in interest on various foreign securities, as expected. Can financial chaos still be averted? Who will pay for the war damage? Financial stocks and gold come into focus during large debt movements. Where are the opportunities for investors?

Deutsche Bank, wallstreet:online, PayPal - New opportunities after the slide

  • Investments

Since Russia invaded Ukraine, there has been a mood of alarm on the stock exchanges. The EU's planned sanctions against Russia are causing severe turbulence in the banking sector and have led to disproportionately high share price losses. Although the exposure of German banks to Russia is manageable, Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank lost more than the German market as a whole. Papers of online brokers also lost heavily in recent weeks. With positive annual figures, one Company stands out here, which offers an attractive entry opportunity at a reduced level.
