some wild ups and downs this month. what exactly are investor is trying to sort out here during the sessions? honestly, it's been quite frankly, a very interesting and very busy week on wall street, but people are trying the best to figure out is when will this a wild ride come to an end? because the month of january really was a roller coaster. right. we had, in fact, in a one week last week we had a 1000 point move on the upside, and a 1000 point move on the upside. we've seen so much activity go on. and the reason for the decline in the month of january, quite frankly, is the federal reserve, which continues to say that it will continue to live interest rates in the coming year. now it's priced into the market at 5 times the amount this year alone, which again has hurt quite a few love your value weighted companies and factors including the tech sector, as it configures that, operating costs will continue to rise and therefore hurt the markets all around as you said, the dow jones taking it hit the nasdaq in correction territory down more than 12

and a half percent heading towards closing belt. and the s and p 500. also having a bit of a rough start to the year 2020 to change. you mentioned those companies are you mentioned the sectors getting hit. what companies particular are we seeing is big winners and losers from what's going on right now? well, the big loser. well, the big loser sector is a tech netflix, spotify, tesla, all 3 of those companies taking quite a bit of a beating netflix took a hit because it's, it was in the tech sector. again, the federal reserve concerns continue to pay the wait for the drop in that company, but then it got a little bit of a reprieve today and on friday because of evaluation, upgraded from analyst. and the same thing also happen for a spot of fine. there's a little bit of a trend going on there, and if you're wondering what company did well, what company took off it was boeing after securing a $34000000.00 deal with contort airways this month. so that was up about 4 percent . a little bit of positive news overall. not that strong to start out the year.

alright, james sweeney at the end of last month on wall street, thanks very much. you're welcome. the u is meanwhile, seeing slower growth across its economies. new figures release today show the block, expanding 4 tenths of a percent in the last quarter. our countries are mean while recovering at different speeds. france saw its economy expand by 7 tenths of a percent. while the german economy contracted by the same amount. now earlier we spoke with neil wilson, his chief analyst at market dot com. we asked him why countries were fearing so differently. that the dragon in germany probably reflects the automotive output being being down quite sizable last year. that is a big problem for, for the eurozone economy. i think that the numbers in france were encouraging. but of course we're, we're doing with a pandemic that, that hits the eurozone economy. we were dealing with base effects all the time here . and it's hard to really get a handle where exactly we are. i think the keys to outlook where,

where things are going to be heading this year. the panoramic is less of a threat this year than ongoing supply chain and problems, ongoing chip shortages and ongoing inflation. laurie's near wilson, chief analysts, markets are com there. as he mentioned, of supply, put the supply problems rather especially pronounced in germany, which relies on parts and raw materials to manufacture for export. so what he do when those materials don't come in reliably or lively priced? well, here's one company solution. take look in the town of goods, spoke german ladder stool, and scaffold may come monkeys trying to stay one step ahead of the global supply chain shortage. it's invested 10000000 euros and a brand new warehouse to stockpile raw materials and components that have been difficult to source because of the pandemic. a shortage of magnesium from china had a knock on effect on monks alam minium supply. it also had trouble sourcing rubber

. 0 you say, natalie, i cannot hide movie yet, had in 40 years, i've never experienced such a shortage of material. mona, it's prevented us from making deliveries for months and this has been going on for over a year, is happy mine and for to gonzalez. mr. lee, all kinds of german firms of face supply issues scarcity of semiconductors has prompted germany and the rest of europe to consider how it source is crucial components for making cars and machinery. the u has pledged billions of euro's to produce the pieces in europe. but since the effects won't be immediate, it's changing how manufacturers, like monk, a conducting business meter on life, will stay in the long term. and i suspect that companies will have to find a new balance between speed and cost efficiency and their supply chains on the $1.00 hand and crisis resilience on the other one is done and lied to about him all

season. festus cried for monk. rethinking logistics is just the 1st wrong on the ladder towards getting back to some sense of normality. but go now to some of the other business stories making headlines around the world. the controversial nord stream to pipeline won't get approved any time soon. that's according to germany's federal network agency, russian owner, gods prom, has set up a german base subsidiary to meet legal requirements. but the agency says that further steps are missing. the pipeline has become a focal point. as russia increases troops on ukraine's border. german car maker dime lewis changing its name to mercedes benz group. the name change concludes a restructuring process that has seen a dime or truck business split from the auto group. mercedes benz is one of the best known brands on the planet valued at around 50000000000 euros when oil

oranges away for nothing, rather than let the fruit wrought on the branches. hundreds of taken up the challenge. the glories are forced to let people pick oranges for free because of record shipments of south african oranges, a wrecking havoc on the spanish citrus sector. whereas on plymouth, on fairly cob. this is a very delicate problem. the look at the trees and what the owners limousine lead up with. they decided to offer the fruits for free rather than throw them away. but it is very upsetting to know the government doesn't offer financial help for these producers, ronald usaa throws on it. so i look at it on a limb and thoughtful when i'm is how i lost it and i would agree, don't ask me what the allow my grandparents were orange farmers are my grandfather used to give me oranges from our orchards picked early in the morning. this is something priceless now i think the orange is situation has to be we thought, and the situation has to change for the better. e. e. s though the way i can be, our prices have tumbled to kilo's of orange is cost one euro at a supermarket. but gore is at this farm,

only get $0.11 per kilo. that is less than the price of a plastic bag in the store. they argue that competition is unfair saying south african farmers use pesticides that york and producers do not. why unit toyota and gone through that there is a study which revealed the use of 27 different chemical substances used on south african orange trees band and the you know, that this leads to unfair competition between projects, from spain and from south africa, which could endanger a consumer health care point and believe, you know, less hello there can to me there. and they said we labeling where companies import oranges from africa and illegally label them as being produced in spain is a problem. so far, there has been no support from the government for the farmers here. they hope that pictures of people picking oranges for free can help raise awareness and bring about change. and here's a reminder. the top is the story we're following for you. january is now the worst
