Allianz (OTC:ALIZF) Azioni, Catena delle Opzioni

Allianz was founded as a transport and accident insurance firm in 1890 by Carl von Thieme and Wilhelm von Finck, the founders of Munich Re. It took the company five years to expand the business into Europe and North America and subsequently list in Berlin. After World War I, individuals were confronted with the loss of wealth, life, and security and Allianz founded a life business in the 1920s. In the years after World War II, Allianz's foreign assets were seized and it lost its foreign business. By relocating its head office from Berlin to Munich in 1948, Allianz began the long road of rebuilding its domestic business. It took 20 years for Allianz to reacquire its prior foreign interests, starting in Austria. It became the largest European insurer in the postwar boom era.

Mohamed El-Erian, the chief economic advisor at Allianz, took to X, formerly Twitter, to highlight a significant economic indicator that points to a slowdown. He referred to the &#8220;monthly measure of job vacancies,&#8221; which dropped from 8.35 million to 8.05 million, the lowest in three years and well below the consensus forecast.
What Happened: El-Erian suggested that this data point is consistent with his previous observations that the economy is slowing down more than many anticipate, including the Federal Reserve.
Earlier the economist also mentioned the recent ISM data, which showed that the US factory activity in May was below the consensus forecast and at its lowest in three months. El-Erian pointed out that these numbers are in line with other signals of an economy losing momentum at a faster rate than most expect.
El-Erian also highlighted the disparity between the market&#8217;s expectations for Fed policy action and the actual economic conditions.

Notably, on Tuesday El-Erian had said that lower yields and oil price drop were part of the markets&#8217; reactions to the worries about the U.S. economy which he called the &#8220;engine of global growth.&#8221; He said the nation&#8217;s economy may be slowing more than expected.

Why It Matters: In April, U.S. job openings remained steady at 8.1 million, with little change in hires (5.6 million) and total separations (5.4 million), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Tuesday. Within separations, quits held at 3.5 million, reflecting workers&#8217; confidence, while layoffs and discharges were stable at 1.5 million. The report noted changes in job openings and separations across various industries and establishment sizes.
El-Erian&#8217;s tweet comes at a time when the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/06/39165539/bond-market-rallies-as-recession-worries-mount-rate-cut-bets-gain-steam-ahead-of-">bond market is rallying</a>, driven by concerns about a potential recession and increasing bets on a rate cut in September. The recent soft economic data has led to a reevaluation of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s rate cut expectations.
Long-dated U.S. Treasuries, including the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>), have been rallying, breaking a key downtrend that began in late 2023. This surge has lifted TLT, a gauge for long-term bond performance, above its declining trend channel for 2024 and its 50-day moving average, indicating a potential trend reversal.
El-Erian&#8217;s observations are also in contrast with the views of some Federal Reserve officials. For instance, Neel Kashkari, the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/06/39131539/feds-neel-kashkari-advocates-for-no-interest-rate-cut-until-we-get-a-lot-more-data-to-convince-us-am">advocated for no interest rate cut</a> until there is more convincing data to support it, amid inflation uncertainty.

Volkswagen Faces Legal Battles In Germany Over EV Battery Fire: Report

Negative&nbsp;news flows&nbsp;are trickling out of Europe ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket/" target="_blank">Wall Street&#39;s opening bell on Wednesday.</a>
All European stock indices traded deeply in the red, as investors panicked after a fresh acceleration of inflation in the U.K. and a deadlock in U.S. debt limit discussions.
What Happened: U.K. inflation came in at 8.7% annually in April. That&#39;s down from 10.1% in March, but well above the 8.2% expected.
Inflation accelerated 1.2% on the month, more than the 0.8% expected.
The U.K. core inflation rate, which excludes food and energy and provides a more accurate picture of the root causes of inflation, increased by a more alarming 6.8% yearly &mdash; much above the 6.2% forecast and the highest level since March 1992.
Core inflation soared by 1.3% on a monthly basis, far more than the predicted 0.7%.
Traders revised upward their estimates for rate increases from the Bank of England and now fully factor in an additional 100 basis points of hikes&nbsp;in 2023, with rates predicted to peak at 5.5%.
On Tuesday, European Central Bank speakers delivered hawkish comments, with Governor Christine Lagarde stating that &quot;rates are to stay restrictive for as long as necessary.&quot;
In Germany, the Ifo Business Climate indicator for May, dropped from 93.4&nbsp;to 91.7,&nbsp;falling short of forecasts of 93.0. This is the first monthly decrease in Germany&#39;s business conditions since October, as the outlook worsened due to recent hikes in interest rates and persistently high inflation.&nbsp;
Elsewhere, stocks in China, tracked by the Shangai Shenzen CSI 300 index,&nbsp;pulled back to levels unseen since mid-December 2022,&nbsp;erasing all gains made in the year.&nbsp;
<h3>Chart of The Day</h3>
U.K. core inflation climbs to 30-year highs, but Bank of England rates remain well behind.

Google Partners With Allianz, Munich Re For Cloud User Insurance: Reuters

Institutional investors such as BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/blk#NYSE">BLK</a>) and Allianz SE&rsquo;s (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/alizf#OTC">ALIZF</a>) Pacific Investment Management Co. have received the legal go-ahead to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-banks-currency-lawsuit/u-s-judge-orders-15-banks-to-face-big-investors-currency-rigging-lawsuit-idUSKBN235027">pursue</a> their lawsuit against 15 large banks for price rigging in the foreign exchange markets.
<h3>What Happened</h3>
A Manhattan judge has ruled it can be plausibly alleged that the banks&nbsp;conspired to rig currency benchmarks between 2003 to 2013 to profit at the expense of nearly 1,300 plaintiffs, including numerous mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield ruled, &ldquo;This is an injury of the type the antitrust laws were intended to prevent.&rdquo;
The list of 15 spans big names in banking such as Bank of America Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bac#NYSE">BAC</a>), Barclays PLC (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bcs#NYSE">BCS</a>), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/c#NYSE">C</a>), JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jpm#NYSE">JPM</a>), and&nbsp;Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gs#NYSE">GS</a>).
<h3>Why It Matters</h3>
According to Reuters, the plaintiffs allege banks improperly shared trading positions and confidential orders in online chat rooms&nbsp;using names such as &ldquo;The Cartel,&rdquo; &ldquo;The Mafia,&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Bandits Club.&rdquo;
Improper trading tactics&nbsp;such as &ldquo;front running,&rdquo; &ldquo;banging the close,&rdquo; and &ldquo;taking out the filth&rdquo;&nbsp;were&nbsp;allegedly used&nbsp;by banks.
Banks have argued that plaintiffs have shown no transactions where such manipulations caused losses.
Some parts of the claim were dismissed by Judge Schofield, as were Allianz&rsquo;s plaintiffs.
The litigation started in November 2018, after the plaintiffs opted out of similar nationwide litigation, which resulted&nbsp;in&nbsp;$2.31 billion settlement with most banks.&nbsp;
