Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

on the topic of low interest rates: My brother borrowed 200K about 2 years ago for 10 years (a 10-year term was cheaper! than 5 years) at 0.45% (through LVM). Making special repayments now probably doesn't make sense - right? ;)

I believe fixed-term deposit rates are just above that right now (although not after taxes). However, overnight and fixed-term deposits will surely rise soon. As soon as they are above 0.75%, your brother can also earn more interest on his money after taxes than he is paying now ;)

For fixed deposits (12 months) there's already 1.18% in Sweden. Saw it yesterday.

Creditplus as a German bank currently offers 1% on 2-year fixed deposits. No withholding tax issue (getting it back is not that easy, as I just learned with French dividends :mad:), no currency risk.

Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck will, according to dpa information, declare the alarm level of the emergency gas plan on Thursday morning. Habeck intends to speak to the press at 10:00 a.m. The ministry announced the topic as "energy and supply security." /

It could slowly become serious now, DAX might also no longer be able to hold the 13k.

... it could slowly be getting serious now, DAX might not be able to hold 13k anymore either

okay ... now I just have to find the really right time to get in. I "have to" put away 150 - 200K for at least 7 years soon (in three to five months) (of course, blowing it would be an alternative) and it seems to me the times are getting better and better for investors? Any recommendations for that? And of course what everyone wants: safe & good returns
