VW shares slide

Volkswagen shares looking not so electrified this session. They are down some 3.3% in Frankfurt. The CFO says the company has to change into a tech and mobility company now. Volkswagen say that its earnings margin reached around 8%. This is at the upper end of its 2022 forecast. Plus, it also expects supply chain bottlenecks to ease in 2023. But, perhaps investors are looking more at the outlook and how much in terms of a transition Volkswagen and many other carmakers still have to go through until we get to a fully electrified future.

Investment

Volkswagen says it will invest 180 billion euros in the next five years towards this aim. So where is the salad dressing? Where is Volkswagen AG (Ord) spending all this money? Two-thirds of that huge amount will be spent on electrification, including making batteries, a key component, and digitalization in China. That spend is up from 56% in the previous five-year plan. Some traders out there have said that Volkswagen has been behind the 'electric' curve.

    • In my opinion, higher lev is for scalpers only! For day or swing traders, either spot or lower lev is always recommended!
    • Just now, according to Glassnode data, the number of addresses holding more than 100 BTC has reached a four-month low, currently standing at 15,955.
    • Bitcoin and other major crypto experienced a dip in value on Thursday, erasing gains made earlier in the week. The decline came after the Federal Reserve signaled that interest rates would remain high for an extended period, with Bitcoin retreating 2.3% to $26.5K. Despite the bearish pressure,  the founder and CEO of Bitcoin joint mining company Xive,  Didar stated that the stagnant rate increase is positive for Bitcoin. He suggested that this could reduce the attractiveness of mainstream financial assets to institutional investors in the long term, potentially driving a new rally in Bitcoin's price. Major altcoins and exchange tokens also struggled on Thursday, with ETH changing hands at $1,585, down about 2.6% from Wednesday. Other altcoins such as BNB and BGB also experienced losses. Despite these challenges, some analysts believe that Bitcoin is likely to remain within its recent range between $25,000 and $30,000. Riyad from digital asset data platform Kaiko, noted that the market needs a catalyst to mount any serious rally.  What are your thoughts?
