market looks unstoppable but all good things come to an end at some stage the question is when. not have very thing that glitters is gold watch out if you're buying bonds of the precious metal counterfeits a doing the rounds and even central banks of pulling forward. and no two factory farms that's the demand for germany's. greens if they join a coalition government they want to give livestock more space and freedom to roam. i've been physical and let's do business equities a locked in a long drawn out bull market the only way is up right now and there's no end in sight that gets analysts anxious of course that a correction or crash could be around the corner but the financial indicators are overwhelmingly positive with robust corporate earnings and booming global trade indices a soaring to record highs in tokyo london new york and frankfurt. german broadcasters

are spellbound and this course is the reason why it just keeps going up and up the dax broke through the twelve thousand mark back in march and galloped past thirteen thousand points two weeks ago the atmosphere down on the trading floor is calm the recipe for success is suddenly simple buy stocks lean back and watch them rise and the expectation seems to be that things won't change anytime soon when makes the shyness or things already seem to be on track next year even in europe and asia their crises are behind in the us growth is continuing whether because of trump or despite them doesn't matter which is a perfect pass into the penalty box for germany's export economy. looks like a home game for germany the world economy is expected to grow stronger than expected next year by three point seven percent according to the i.m.f. more than almost any other nation on earth germany's export economy is geared to

profit from situations like these another indicator that there is no end in sight to the continuing upswing our recent numbers from the german institute for shipping economics and logistics it recently reported that container turnover in the country sports is rising steadily an early sign that companies are optimistic about the next few months and therefore more willing to invest. as our central banks they're plowing billions into economies in the eurozone japan and the us and a lot of that money is ending up on the stock markets that's because interest rates remain low and alternative investments like bonds aren't attractive enough the sheer amount of investment funding out there is driving the dacs and other stock markets to new heights but sooner or later all good things come to an end. as talk about financial correspondent in frankfurt only the million dollar question.

will the n.d.p. . i wish i could tell you that i wish i would know that myself but nobody can really determine that and what's worse nobody can really name the cause that will when it comes time for the market to correct and perhaps crash an initial reaction what kind of cause that might be might be that we don't even have that cause in our list of risks that were aware of at the moment i think the e.c.b. and also the fed in the united states pouring billions and trillions into the market is a major reason why the share prices are where they are when that stops what happens then i just talked to a trader a little while ago here about the market i asked him that very question that you asked me and he said you know i have a bad feeling and i get that bad feeling from friends and relatives who asked me how do i get my hands on i.p.o. material that is a little companies that are coming with the stock market debuts now there's one

scheduled for tomorrow for example investors were raving for the shares even though the company's never made a profit and it was similar with ones that went before it and that reminds a lot of the people here me included of the time when the internet bubble burst in the year two thousand and one. tell me also about the bond market we're just having a look at the dax at the moment of the past three months it's really shot up and shot up even further today quite impressive stuff what about the bond market though because that rally could soon come to an end from what i've been reading. that's right it's highly unusual for the docs to shoot up like we just saw in the graph and also the bond market that the super super strong and when the bond price is a strong the yields are super super low to show you how unrealistic really they're reflecting the risk involved if you put money into german public funds anyway anywhere between five and eight years the yield is negative that is this

practically no risk priced in there spanish you'd think there's a risk priced in there they're only yielding one and a half percent and italy is also pretty low so there's a bubble waiting to burst which would have repercussions for equities as well and we're seeing these strong corporate results not just here in europe also in the united states are there risks involved that we should be aware of looking a little further into the future there are i mean there are reasons why they're going so strongly and making so much money at the moment but look at the car industry one of the major supporters here of the general market mood and the dax in germany immobility self driving cars competition from the chinese becoming stronger look at utilities facing electric power in the future or look at banks facing more competition and fighting with first super low rates at the moment and perhaps with

high rising interest rates in the future so wherever you look there are risks involved there which you can't tell is that going to be a major risk or can these industries survive that. it's on the global market thank you very much. buying gold is a popular impulse among investors in turbulent times but purchasing the actual physical bullion base risks counterfeit bosler in circulation as one joule a found out after buying it from a central bank it sparked an investigation but as officials point out most gold locked away in safes or in on the mattresses when all that glitters is gold you need experts to tell you so especially if purported markings from the royal canadian meant maker's gold really in the budget of it. there is no gold whatsoever it's it's it's not made of gold you know that was a problem for this jewelry business which bought the bar it's since been reimbursed

but investors and jewelers alike might be worried at a compromised supply. for the mint will want to get the bottom of it because it. undermines confidence in their product and they certainly don't don't want that nor does any of the financial institutions in canada want that they don't especially not the royal bank of canada which still the board it since return the piece for testing at the mint but other bogus ones could be in wide circulation and difficult to find. as talks continue between the potential coalition pot as in a future german government the parties have plenty to wade through emotions run high and opinions diverge on agricultural issues like industrial livestock farming greenpeace activists protested in front of the conservative party's head for his for what they say of the inhumane conditions animals face before so her environmental lobby group holds the c.v. united agriculture ministry responsible but not doing enough to in short time the

monitoring of livestock and demands this be made a priority in coalition talks. the greens say factory farms won't be a thing of the future here in germany at least. treat which austin goff is an organic farmer and a member of the german parliament representing the green party his constituents have clear expectations about livestock farming biodiversity and pesticide reduction important topics for germany's greens. plants lana most like to have more room in our animals here each have two and a half square metres almost four times more than the minimum standard allowed by law as well you can see how the animals do much better than the animals are attentive and take part in life here and can live out their needs in the observance always the and here are pigs chickens milking cows and beef cattle the farm has its own shop this farm on the edge of germany's ruhr area is

a symbol of everything the greens are trying to achieve regarding agriculture in their coalition talks greens member robert how pick is agricultural minister and. and the negotiator for the christian democratic union is usually a clerk now she's the daughter of a wine grower so she's the party's farming expert. see the world has changed agriculture has become more professional in german and we take good care of animals and in the areas that need to prove meant we're open to suggestions but we also believe that agriculture is a vital part of the economy. like but this vital part of the economy is facing a huge problem the decline in the number of farms at the beginning of the one nine hundred seventy s. there were more than a million farms in germany three quarters of them have disappeared there were fewer and fewer pig farms too but at the same time farms are getting even larger joints is just us and for us it's important that an animal protection label is introduced kinds we don't want the government organized the voluntary system the advantage of

mandatory labeling is that farmers can plan and they can rely on that system and if . but everyone wants to be able to plan their own system that sure to be a bone of contention in the coalition talks. now if your kids wish for a dog for christmas that's what they didn't mean this one the japanese electronics giant sony has unveiled the latest robotic version of santa is that. a let me put you back fifteen hundred years and shipments won't stop till mid january so after the festive season unfortunately if you are looking for a pet that doesn't need to be taken for a walk and doesn't heal pope i could just become your next best friend the robot dog quipped with night vision facial recognition to identify its owner and it can be remote controlled with an app. the remote control
