(Reuters) -German machine and car parts maker Schaeffler on Wednesday joined other auto suppliers in giving a gloomy outlook for 2025, as it sees no rebound for the automotive market during the year. Europe's auto sector is being tested by multiple hurdles ranging from high production costs and managing the shift to electric vehicles (EV) to falling demand and rising competition from China. In particular, Schaeffler sees a negative 2025 operating (EBIT) margin for its e-mobility unit, at -14% to -17%, reflecting the scale of the challenges in the European EV market.

Italy has been courting retail investors since the euro zone debt crisis in 2012 in the belief that they are less likely to withdraw their cash than foreigners at times of market stress. The strategy has been successful, raising around 245 billion euros ($257.52 billion) in a succession of bond issuances dedicated to the sector.
(Bloomberg) -- China’s economic goals drew a mixed response from market watchers, with some lauding Beijing’s commitment to a growth target of about 5% and others ruing that the largely in-line projections lacked any major positive surprises.Most Read from BloombergHow Upzoning in Cambridge Broke the YIMBY MoldRemembering the Landscape Architect Who Embraced the CityRepublican Mayor Braces for Tariffs: ‘We Didn’t Budget for This’NYC’s Finances Are Sinking With Gauge Falling to 11-Year LowUS Tent
