12:18 am
a very well choreographed, of breakthrough on the inflation reduction act. that's at some, almost 4 and a $1000000000.00 worth of subsidies on state support and investment in green tech industry here in the united states. and that had left out european countries. they simply weren't within the umbrella of that agreement because the e u doesn't have a trade agreement with the united states. now it was a fund alan came here and this was of course, very well prepared, knowing that they would need to have something to present. and what the 2 leaders of launched to day is more talks yes, but with a clear target of actually reaching an agreement on those crucial wu materials needed at for green tech of the future that goes into batteries for instance. and that will make it easier for also you companies to get at least gain some access at to the tax breaks and the subsidies at that are under the so called ira umbrella.
12:19 am
so at least something in foot was off on the line has to. so for this visit, that is more concrete than just pledge is of unity in this transatlantic alliance. i saw a lots of talk, a little comment. it sounds like progress has been a made. now talking about critical raw materials. i know we're also talking about minerals for electric cars. did they talk about electric cars? i mean progress, they've made there. can you tell us anything about that? well, that really feeds into electric car production. what you're unlikely to see is that entire cars will be exempt from that, and both sides are still and it's, it's an open secret, really competing for where there's industry's of the future will be base. but what both sides of now found is that companies are frankly shopping around at full work where they can get at the biggest subsidies, even if those subsidies don't necessarily determine whether they will build that
12:20 am
next battery factory. for instance, in the e u or in the united states and all the companies we spoke to here at this and also said that there are other factors that play into this, for instance, em skilled labor. that is a huge shortage actually in the united states, not just in europe. and so the, this looks like a good a great times for companies to actually get subsidies without really a new investment decision in returns selling already made decisions as something new. and they're both sides have discovered a joint interest and have said that they will coordinate better in the future. basically let each other know about subsidies that they are planning and be talking to each other. and not just that companies shop around for the highest subsidies or as my hail, i could not bring up insights from washington. thank you so much. us authorities have sees control of silicon valley bank to protect depositors at the

breathtaking. the stock already got to hold it to before and do a lot of other financial institutions and also stock scott, under and heavy selling a pressure here on the last the trading session of the week. sounds like an exciting day at the office for those people. i mean, this is the 2nd us bank failure this week after silver gate. is this purely a coincidence or is this sign of a sign of something greater happening in the space? i don't think that it's a coincidence. there is a lot of pressure building up and if you see what happened, specially with the silicon valley bank, one of the problems is that the federal reserve with a rapid speed has increased interest rates in the last year. that on the other side has put pressure on prices for a treasury. so for bonds in general, and that actually is cost. a lot of us bank to sit on unrealized losses. that is
12:23 am
not a problem unless clients come and want to make their money back, because at that point, banks are forced to sell an asset of treasury with a big loss. and then we have the problem that silicon valley bank is facing. so it is not unlikely that other smaller regional banks might also get under quite some pressure. what i do here from experts in general, nobody really believes this is a situation like 2008 when we had the big financial crisis. but it all depends on a client and the mood of overall, if we will have more runs on the bank in the days and weeks to come with an exciting close out to the week that was young quarter new york have a great weekend now to some of the other global business stories making news. the u. s. government is reporting that employers added more than $300000.00 jobs last month despite beating expectations. analysts say the federal reserve still
