Corporate news:

One of the best performing sectors of the economy in Europe today are banks. The declines in German Budnow quotes and the simultaneous increase in the yields on German debt securities mean that, together with the estimated large investment outlays on armaments (through debt issuance), the largest financial institutions in Europe are doing very well.
