The S&P 500 experienced a sharp decline on Friday, falling 1.7% in its worst session of 2025, after hitting record highs earlier in the week. Concerns about stagflation spooked investors. In Germany, the opposition conservative CDU/CSU won the election with 28.5% of the vote. In a first reaction, German equities and the EUR rose on Monday morning. Berkshire Hathaway reported strong earnings growth and over USD 300 billion in cash available for investment. This week in focus: Nvidia earnings on Wednesday, core PCE (US inflation) on Friday. Mensur Pocinci, Head of Technical Analysis, notes that the S&P 500 has to hold 5,900 in order to continue its upward trend after last week's drop.
