US President Trump has long been calling for a full percentage point cut in interest rates and wants to replace \u2018Mr Late Come\u2019 in May next year because he believes the rate cut is coming too late. However, the trigger is not falling inflation rates, but rather the weak labour market data of the last two months, which point more to \u2018stagflation\u2019, i.e. a stagnating economy accompanied by rising inflation. However, he also indicated that the Fed faces major challenges and attaches greater importance to economic development than to price increases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equity, commodity and crypto markets react positively to interest rate cut fantasies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, investors on Wall Street welcomed the Fed&#8217;s interest rate cut speculation. The S&amp;P index rose by 1.5% to 6,466 index points on Friday, which is already close to its all-time high of 6,481 index points. The DAX also gained 0.3% to 24,363 index points. This means that the DAX has risen by 21.67% since the beginning of the year and the S&amp;P index by 10.2%. The euro also gained against the US dollar, rising from 1.16 to 1.17 EUR\/USD. However, gold also rose sharply, gaining 1% to 3372 USD\/ounce, and silver rose by as much as 2% to 38.9 USD\/ounce. All other industrial and precious metals were also in the green, as this was the signal that all investors had been waiting for. Among the market-heavy cryptocurrencies, Ethereum (ETH) rose the most, up 14% to a new high for the year of 4,781 USD\/ETH, with Bitcoin initially rising from 112,000 to 117,000 USD\/BTC, but then correcting back to 114,000 USD\/BTC over the weekend. This means that the price of ETH has almost tripled since its low on 7 April 2025.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trump brings movement to the peace process in the Ukraine war, but&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But there is also finally some movement towards diplomatic peace negotiations in the Ukraine war following the meeting between Putin and Trump on 15 August in Alaska, which at first glance appeared to have been fruitless, but now holds out the prospect of a direct meeting between Putin and Zelensky. At least, that is the wish of US President Trump. However, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov made it clear that an agenda must first be agreed upon before a date for a meeting can be discussed. There is therefore still no specific date for talks between Putin and Zelensky, nor is there a venue where they are to take place. However, Hungarian President Orban is reportedly willing to organise such a meeting in Budapest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8230; the devil is in the details<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The ideas on how to resolve the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and end the war are still far apart. Moreover, the devil is often in the details. It is not yet clear who will be allowed to keep which territories and, above all, who can provide which security guarantees and how these can be monitored and enforced. Russia continues to categorically reject NATO soldiers as border monitors. Now there has even been a proposal to involve Erdogan in the peace process, who would then also make his soldiers available. But there is still no agreement on this either. Meanwhile, Russian troops are slowly advancing further into Ukraine, especially in Prokowsk in the Donetsk region, which remains fiercely contested.<\/p>\n<p>If a ceasefire or even a peace treaty is reached this year, shares from Ukraine in particular, but also from neighbouring Poland, are likely to benefit. However, the war in Ukraine has also led to unnecessary huge increases in defence spending in Western countries. In most Western households, however, tax revenues are insufficient to finance this additional spending, especially as economies are stagnating rather than growing dynamically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Crash in Polish bank shares due to new tax plans by the Polish government<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Polish government has therefore come up with the idea of raising corporate tax on Polish banks from 19 to 30 per cent next year. As a result, the prices of all bank shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange plummeted by over 10% on Friday, causing the PTX index and the WIG index of the Warsaw Stock Exchange to fall by over 5% in a single day. Previously, however, the PTX index for Polish shares had been one of the <strong>outperformers on the global stock markets<\/strong>, with a gain of over <strong>40% (!)<\/strong> at its peak this year. After Friday&#8217;s sharp correction, the <strong>PTX index<\/strong> is still up <strong>33%<\/strong> since the beginning of the year. However, the two other Central European stock exchanges in Prague and Budapest also clearly outperformed the DAX, with the <strong>CTX Index<\/strong> for Czech shares up <strong>35%<\/strong> and the HTX Index for Hungarian shares up <strong>31.7%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eastern European stock markets outperform<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>BTX Index<\/strong> for shares from <strong>Bulgaria<\/strong> also rose by <strong>22%<\/strong> (previous month: +19%), and the <strong>ROTX Index<\/strong> for shares from Romania also rose by 22<strong>%<\/strong> (previous month: +18%), already matching the performance of the DAX. Next year, Bulgaria will become the latest Eastern European country to join the eurozone. The share prices of Eastern European banks are performing particularly well. The CECE banking index (which includes Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic) has already risen by <strong>36%<\/strong> this year (previous month: +43%). Some interesting bank stocks from Eastern Europe and Austria, such as <strong>Raiffeisenbank International (RBI)<\/strong>, were presented in an interview with Michael Mross on <strong>19 July 2015 July 2025<\/strong> (see the new video at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eaststock.de\">www.eaststock.de<\/a> ) and were also highlighted as \u2018Stocks of the Month\u2019 in the stock market newsletter <strong>East Stock Trends<\/strong>. RBI&#8217;s share price rose by 20% afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inform yourself first, then invest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Find out more now about the background and development of the Ukraine\/Russia crisis, as well as the future recovery potential of undervalued stocks from Eastern Europe.
