stripes and i think it's really crystallized concerns that the federal reserve will embark on a much faster tightening cycle and that's push bond deals up but it's also put pressure on the u.s. stock markets and not only u.s. markets the panic spread to asia where investors went on a selling spree on tuesday tokyo's nikkei index fell by nearly six percent. this is a normal it's probably because of the plunge in the u.s. i thought the economy was in good shape with share prices going up but a sudden drop like this makes the future outlook unclear the more the stock prices went up too far without reason it's time to hold tight and. there were big losses in europe too although shares recovered slightly on wednesday only to slide again later in the week analysts tried to look on the bright side because in through we went up too fast twenty one percent last year in the u.s.

alone i'm really no one knew when a correction would come but one thing is clear the fundamentals are stable so we don't have to fear that it's going to keep going down divide montanaro and get the week's final tally hunkers hang seng lost more than nine percent somewhat less than japan's nikkei and the dax in frankfurt u.s. stocks gained on friday but the wild week of losses seem to prove the cliche that stocks take the stairs up and the elevator down. after a marathon session germany's conservatives and social democrats struck a deal on forming a coalition government the grand coalition would keep america as chancellor the social democrats are to receive several top cabinet posts and the interior ministry will go to america's bavarian allies the c.s.u. they praise the agreement. if anyone reads these one hundred seventy seven pages and i hope they will be widely read it will see that what we are proposing is good

for the people of our country in the fall. but the optimism that the three leaders tried to convey is not entirely shared by the german business community industry associations complain that hoped for corporate tax cuts were not written into the deal. and they say the new agreement will end up making firms pay billions more to help insurers. employers also reject tighter restrictions on temporary job contracts they say don't make it harder to react flexibly to the ups and downs of the economy. it's a surprising together of costs regulations and additional changes for the worst especially compared to the program agreed in the initial talks between the parties . this is significantly worse based on business representatives responded positively to a vow to expand internet connectivity but found fault with a time frame which would guarantee fast broadband throughout the country by two

thousand and twenty five too little too late they say. into some the standpoint of german industry we can't be happy with this it's much more about redistribution than about creating the conditions for more prosperity on unions have signaled cautious approval of the agreement including moves to raise child benefits and invest more in schools then a scaling if the coalition agreement succeeds in improving millions of people's lives. whether it's a nursing or an education or in pensions as that would be a very positive signal of change in our society for the positive side and the bidding on was like a special but for business lobby groups that is not a positive signal they want more investment in research and development in future oriented technologies like artificial intelligence otherwise they say the german economy will find itself lacking behind. after serving jail time on charges including bribery perjury and embezzlement one
