Emanuel Boeminghaus reported that the British malt manufacturer Crisp Malt plans, according to industry reports, to close its malt plant in Hamburg-Eidelstedt by the end of March 2027. The company has not officially confirmed the plans so far. The site has an annual production capacity of 110,000 tons. As reasons for the crisis in the malt industry, Boeminghaus cited the significantly decreased demand for Scotch whisky as well as high energy and transport costs. In Germany, around 350,000 tons of annual malt capacity have already been lost. If the Hamburg plant were to close, the loss would rise to around 460,000 tons, according to his contribution. He cited Vinetur from October 10, 2026, as the source. https://t.co/18Do28BQPK #Industrie #Hamburg #Werksschließung (translated)

Furkan Yildirim wrote that the US Treasury could auction fewer long-term government bonds as early as November and possibly discontinue the 20-year term altogether. According to Yildirim, Citigroup expects Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent to announce a $3 billion reduction in auctions for 20- and 30-year bonds each on November 4. The financing gap is to be closed with government securities maturing within a year at the latest. The department may also ask large banks next week whether pension funds now prefer bonds from Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet to those of the state. The 20-year bond was reintroduced in 2020 after a 34-year hiatus and now offers nearly 5.7 percent interest, more than any other US maturity. At the end of 2020, its yield was just under 1.5 percent. At the same time, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, and SpaceX had already issued dollar bonds amounting to more than $180 billion in 2026; according to Yildirim, Amazon's bonds extend to 2076. According to asset manager TwentyFour, which Yildirim cited, Japanese investors are now receiving enough interest at home to invest their money there. Citi strategist Jason Williams wrote that pension funds may currently be more inclined than usual to invest in long-term corporate bonds of good quality. However, BNP Paribas strategists doubted that smaller auctions would reduce the government's financing costs. Yildirim also pointed out that the yield on 10-year US bonds serves as a basis for mortgages and many other loans, and Bessent had referred to it as an important measure of his success. With an annual deficit of nearly $2 trillion, the debt burden continues to grow as competition for long-term buyers increases. #Finanzen #Anleihen #Wirtschaft (translated)
