The coming weeks will be a critical period for the US stock market, one that will determine whether its latest rebound can continue. Employment data, key inflation indicators, and the Federal Reserves interest rate decision will all be released over the next 14 trading days, setting the market tone for investors. The stock market appears to be at a crossroads: the S&P 500 just posted its weakest monthly gain since March, with September historically its worst month. Meanwhile, market volatility has all but vanished. The VIX index, a fear index, has only touched the key 20 level once since late June. "Investors are right to be cautious in September," said Thomas Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors. "The Fed is resuming a modest rate-cutting cycle after a long pause, making it difficult for traders to determine their positioning." The long-term US stock bull predicts the S&P 500 will fall 5% to 10% this fall before rebounding to between 6,800 and 7,000 points.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: The EUs new 150 billion euro plan to accelerate investment in the EUs defense industry will benefit Poland the most.U.S. Trade Representative Greer: Continue to advance trade negotiations after the tariff ruling (made by the U.S. court).On August 31, Yuzhou Group announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that during the six months ending June 30, 2025, the contract sales amount reached RMB 3.729 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 14.21%; revenue was RMB 2.397 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 62.42%; the loss attributable to the parent companys owners was RMB 5.632 billion, and the loss attributable to the parent companys owners in the same period last year was RMB 6.256 billion.Kremlin: European countries are hindering Trumps efforts on Ukraine.

Panasonic Anticipates A Rise in Global Automobile Production This Fiscal Year

Panasonic (OTC:PCRFY) Holdings Corp, which manufactures batteries for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other automakers, stated on Wednesday that it anticipates a recovery in global vehicle production this fiscal year, but that the two-year semiconductor shortage will persist.


Masashi Nagayasu, CEO of the Japanese conglomerate's automotive business, which manufactures in-car infotainment systems and other auto components, stated, "We will operate our business in consideration of the risks of fluctuations in vehicle manufacturing."


Nagayasu stated on the first day of Panasonic's annual investor event that the company has no plans to produce automobiles.


Panasonic, whose automotive division accounts for approximately 14 percent of its entire revenue, anticipates a 19 percent increase in sales for the fiscal year ending in March 2023. It anticipates an operational profit increase of roughly 17 percent.


Due to component shortages caused by COVID-19 lockdowns in China and higher commodity prices as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the company stated last month that it did not anticipate a profit increase for this fiscal year.


(This item corrects the firm name in paragraph 1 to Panasonic Holdings Corp from Panasonic Corp, and the sales growth forecast in paragraph 4 to 19 percent from 10 percent, and the operating profit forecast to nearly 17 percent from 15 percent decline.)
