11In the current TV interview on OE24 I spoke about two topics that are currently moving the financial world: the persistent inflation in Austria – and the ongoing shutdown in the USA.

Inflation in Austria
Inflation remains above the EU average at around 4%. This is primarily due to energy, services, and rents. Austria is heavily dependent on external energy supplies, and indexation means that price increases are felt for longer. In the service sector, the wage-price spiral is also at play – higher costs lead to higher prices and vice versa. On a positive note, domestic social partners are currently acting with restraint, thus preventing further escalation of inflation.

Looking forward:
A return to inflation rates below 3% is realistic no earlier than 2026. Those wishing to protect their purchasing power should also consider investments – for example, through tangible assets or company shares that benefit from price adjustments.

US shutdown
The US government has been shut down for over a month – with massive consequences for employees and banks. Millions of people are not receiving their salaries, and many are seeking short-term loans. This is leading to liquidity problems in regional banks and is reminiscent of the dynamics of 2007. If the shutdown continues, it will also affect Europe because purchasing power and demand in the US are declining.

In the coming weeks, we should continue to monitor developments surrounding inflation, energy prices, and the effects of the US shutdown.

Yesterday, the ECB left its key interest rate unchanged at 2% – after eight consecutive cuts. A logical decision: ...

Live on OE24 about the situation on the capital markets. This morning I was in the studio again with Sabrina Fröhlich – at a time when markets around the globe are on a rollercoaster ride. Why? Because a single tweet is enough to move billions. What we are currently experiencing is not a normal market correction. It's a complex interplay of geopolitical decisions, a US election campaign in full swing, and massive uncertainty in the financial world. The rally on the stock exchanges? Often not genuine purchases, but frantic covering of short positions. And while stock prices are faltering, the bond markets are sending a clear message: We don't believe you, Mr. Trump. We talked about possible market manipulation, political influence on corporate decisions, hedge funds, stagflation, and why the market recovery is not a sustainable upswing – but only the beginning of a phase in which trust needs to be rebuilt. For those who want to delve deeper, you can find the entire interview here in the video: What is your opinion on the current situation?

Turnaround Tuesday or Bear Market? My Interview on the Market Turbulence. This morning I was live in the OE24 studio with Sabrina Fröhlich to discuss the dramatic movements on the stock markets. We've just experienced a "bloody Monday"—with capital losses in the trillions, triggered by tariff fears and political escalations. What should investors do now? Stay calm, avoid hasty actions—and enjoy your tea, with or without rum. Anyone without a clear strategy should definitely avoid investing in individual stocks right now. The conversation also touched on psychological effects like "Turnaround Tuesday," the risk of a genuine bear market, and the question of when politicians will finally start taking responsibility.
