They were widespread reports last week of an approach by the Tech Giant Qualcomm and reports over the weekend from bloomberg of a multibillion Dollar Investment Approach from apollo global management.

Lets head to Sri Lanka now where the left Leaning Politician Anura Kumara Dissanayake has won Sri LankaS President ial election. The election on saturday was one of the countrys closest and the first since masS Protests unseated the former Leader President Rajapaska in 2022 during Sri Lankas worst economic crisis. Archana shukla has been covering the story. He has won on pledges of making it easierfor ordinary he has won on pledges of making it easier for ordinary Sri Lankans who have been with high living costs, he haS Promised to cut Income Tax as well as Sales Tax on essentials like Food And Medicine and hes also spoken of renegotiating terms of the imf loan. How will he be realistically able to manage and deliver on these promises . While at the same time keeping Sri Lankans Balance Sheet positive, it would be a critical task and experts say it could be difficult at the moment. Sri lankas foreign resource of 6 Million at the moment can only last for the next three months. The Imf Programme is halfway through the country and is still on Aid Money and the Debt Restructuring Plan is still not finalised which means Sri Lanka is not out in the market to get fresh loans. To the eurozone now where Business Activity has taken an unexpected downturn this month according to the latest survey on economic trends. The purchasing Managers Index showed Business Activity drop across the block with germany continuing to decline in France Contracting after an olympic bump. All of which could be feeding into something of a sell off in the euro, which is trading sharply down against the dollar.

Can you break down a bit more of what you found . You break down a bit more of what you found . Gloomy reading indeed for the what you found . Gloomy reading indeed for the euro what you found . Gloomy reading indeed for the euro area, indeed for the euro area, focused on germanys Manufacturing Sector primarily. ItS Producing sector has been hit by a number of headwinds recently, since the ukraine war its had to diversify away from russian energy and buy more expensive energy from elsewhere. That is made its going to list competitive in a market which has already been damaged by the demand for the Machinery Germany usually exports so well to the rest of the world. China is not demanding so many of these goods now. And also intense competition for sectors such as the auto business. Germany is struggling in this environment and to have the Energy Impacts on top of these forces means its Manufacturing Sector is reeling at the moment. But this is not the only sector in europe struggling. The Services Economy across the eurozone is grinding to a halt. Production of and factories in france is doing badly in the rest of the region are struggling. There is no individual sector thatis there is no individual sector that is the weakest as such, its a broad based malaise that has infected the region as a whole... whole.

There seems to be problems here. The European Central Bank has cut rates but is it cutting them fast enough. The survey brought some good news in terms of prices. So it looks like the Inflation Problem is behind us. The Rate Hikes we have seen has killed off inflation. But they have also killed the recovery as well.
