Mech-Mind Robotics boasts top R&D and commercialization capabilities, and its products are consistently used and validated by global-leading companies, with outstanding performance both at home and abroad. We expect that Mech-Mind Robotics will become a core supplier of physical AI infrastructure and reply on its mature commercialization loop to continuously drive long-term innovation in general embodied intelligence," Alex Zhou, Managing Partner of Qiming Venture Partners, stated.

Inflationssorgen und steigende Ölpreise haben Europas wichtigste Aktienmärkte zur Wochenmitte spürbar belastet und zugleich die Monatsbilanz eingetrübt. Der EuroStoxx 50 schloss am Mittwoch 0,81 Prozent tiefer bei 6269,02 Punkten. Im Monatsverlauf verlor der Leitindex der Eurozone 2,4 Prozent und beendete damit eine Serie von fünf Anstiegen in Folge. Der DAX gab um 0,79 Prozent auf 25.199,19 Punkte nach, während der britische FTSE moderat um rund ein Viertel Prozent auf gut 10.600 Zähler nachgab.

Treiber der Risikoaversion waren neue Inflationsdaten aus großen Euroländern. In Deutschland kletterten die Verbraucherpreise im September auf 3,3 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr und damit erstmals seit Ende 2023 wieder über die Marke von drei Prozent, nachdem im August noch 2,9 Prozent verzeichnet worden waren. Starke Anstiege der Energiepreise wirkten als Hauptfaktor – eine Entwicklung, die sich nach ersten Angaben auch in Frankreich und Italien widerspiegelt. In Italien kam es zudem zu einem deutlichen Anstieg der Teuerung, was die Sorge nährte, dass der disinflationäre Trend im Euroraum ins Stocken geraten könnte.

Parallel dazu zogen die Ölpreise erneut an. Marktteilnehmer verwiesen auf die angespannte geopolitische Lage im Nahen Osten und mögliche Risiken für die Öllieferungen aus dem Persischen Golf. Berichte, wonach mehrere Tankschiffe in der Straße von Hormuz unter Beschuss geraten sein sollen, verstärkten die Nervosität. Höhere Energiekosten und im Umfeld der Inflationsdaten steigende Anleiherenditen machten Anleger nach Einschätzung von Marktstrategen europaweit selektiver. Ulrich Urbahn, Leiter Multi-Asset-Strategie und Research bei Berenberg, sieht dennoch Chancen für eine Jahresendrallye: Robuste Unternehmensgewinne könnten die Märkte stützen, sofern Firmen ihre Margen und Prognosen behaupten und sowohl Inflation als auch Renditen nicht weiter zulegen.

Im Branchenspektrum fehlten klare Impulse von den Technologiewerten, die nach Vortagesgewinnen überwiegend richtungslos tendierten. Viele Investoren warteten auf die anstehenden Quartalszahlen des US-Speicherchip-Herstellers Micron, die als Gradmesser gelten, ob der Boom rund um Künstliche Intelligenz weiterhin ausreichend im operativen Geschäft der Halbleiterbranche ankommt. Analyst Andreas Lipkow von CMC Markets warnte, eine Enttäuschung bei Micron könne die zuletzt gewachsene Skepsis gegenüber dem KI-Sektor rasch in neuen Verkaufsdruck umschlagen lassen. Einzelwerte wie BMW im DAX konnten sich diesem Umfeld zwar mit Kursgewinnen entziehen, insgesamt dominierte an den europäischen Börsen jedoch zum Monatsende die Vorsicht.
