Deutsche Bank has maintained a bullish rating on Micron Technology (MU.US) and raised its target price to $500.

Thoughts on the matter.

It is clear that Deutsche Bank is now desperately trying to make its figures look good for the earnings report on March 12 regarding the shares it holds.

In fact, their previous forecast in January was notably poor, and they faced heavy criticism from shareholders as a result.

Analyzing the current state of Germany’s economy from this point, it becomes evident that the situation is quite dire.

Though this is more anecdotal, I feel there are fewer Germans coming to Japan. And given the rising cost of living in Germany, the struggles of its citizens have become apparent. This aligns with the reduction in air traffic to and from Germany and the sudden disappearance of Lufthansa flight crews whom I used to encounter regularly.

The scenario of Deutsche Bank's collapse is once again gaining attention. Though it’s an oft-repeated concern, the sense of their current struggles feels very real.

A collapse here would devastate the core of Germany’s economy, delivering a blow across Europe and the world, potentially becoming the final nail in the coffin for global economic stability. It’s terrifying to think about the incalculable impact on Japan—it was indeed a chilling assessment.
