By Ozan Ergenay German Chip Systems manufacturer, Aixtron, on Wednesday, reported a 10% increase in quarterly orders and stood with its full year guidance and said the risks associated with US rates were “currently insignificant to the sector”. The company placed an order intake in the first quarter of 132.2 million euros, aided by great demand from Asia. “The risks associated with US tariffs are currently considered insignificant, as semiconducting equipment is not currently subject to US rates,” Aixtron said in a statement. Shares in Aixtron, which has dropped by 25.5% since the beginning of the year, increased by 3.7% from 0636 GMT. US President Donald Trump’s greasy rates and uncertainty about his trading policy have made world markets disappear and drain the economic optimism of investors. Still, technology and car-related shares received something from a postponement after China released some goods from US rates and the US removed smartphones and other electronics from its rates on China. Trump also signed an order on Tuesday to soften the battle of his car rates. Aixtron said it would monitor the impact of US rates and any countermeasures to assess the effects on supply chain and production, as well as the client’s demand and to ‘take corrective actions if necessary’. This made the revenue of the first quarter of 112.5 million euros, exceeding the analysts’ expectations of 102.5 million euros in a survey by Lseg. “We are pleased with the beginning of the new year. The intake of higher orders compared to the previous year confirmed that our product range was very well positioned, even in a challenging market environment,” CEO Felix Gragert said. Aixtron also said it expected in a series of about 120 million to 140 million euros for the second quarter, compared to 131.8 million euros last year. Analysts at Jefferies say Aixtron’s first -quarter sales and orders came into the estimates, saying that the timing of recovery is difficult to judge.

Volkswagen’s earnings fell by 40% in the first quarter, as higher manufacturing costs in margins and US rates delayed the German car manufacturer’s prospects. Earnings before tax amounts to € 3.1 billion in the three months to March, from € 5.1 billion a year earlier, the company said on Wednesday. Group ministry margin has dropped to 3.7% from 6%. Volkswagen has dropped profitability as it confronts rising costs and excess capacity at European factories, as well as a weaker demand in China, a key market. Meanwhile, the purchases of electric vehicles in Europe and the US were uneven, and the rates of President Donald Trump threaten to further injure profits. While Volkswagen left its prospects unchanged for 2025, he said that the forecast of up to 5% sales growth did not affect the impact of US rates. However, the company said it now expects an operating return on sales at the bottom of its 5.5% to 6.5% targeted range. European car manufacturers have struggled to judge the full impact of US rates, as the Trump administration still changes its position with warnings, exemptions and delays. Recently, Trump signed an assignment on Tuesday to uplift a few duties on foreign parts and prevent several levies from stacking on top of each other. The move can reduce the total rates imposed on VW models in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Puebla, Mexico, and on Audi and Porsche vehicles sent from Europe. Porsche Ag, Volkswagen’s luxury sports car brand, has reduced its profit prospects this week, referring to the impact of rates and weaker than expected sales of EVs. But uncertainty surrounding rates led to other car manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz Group, Volvo Car and General Motors, had to completely fall off their predictions. Earlier this month, Volkswagen released its quarterly earnings in advance, pointing out that operating profit was hit by around € 1.1 billion to special items. About € 300 million of the charges are attributed to diesel problems and the US tariff impact on cars sent in March. The German company said on Wednesday that European demand for its new models is strong, with ordering the order to almost 1 million units in the first quarter. © 2025 Bloomberg MP This article was generated from an automatic news agency feed without edits to text.

New Delhi, April 30 (PTI), India’s gold demand was a decrease of 15 percent to 118.1 tonnes in the January March of this year, even as value grew by 22 percent to £ 94,030 due to increasing prices, the World Gold Council (WGC) said on Wednesday. According to the WGC forecast, India’s gold question will be between 700-800 tonnes after 2025. Gold prices have risen by 25 percent since the beginning of 2025, approaching the most important psychological threshold of £ 1,00,000 per 10 grams, affecting consumer buying patterns. “The increased prices affected affordability. Yet the lasting cultural importance of gold, especially before Akshaya Tritiya and the upcoming marriage season, still supported the sale sentiment,” WGC India CEO Sachin Jain said in his quarterly report. According to experts, the golden market is excitement at the favorable opportunity of Akshaya Tritiya, which has a tremendous cultural interest in India, which traditionally has a boom in golden purchases. Record prices have driven consumers towards smaller, lightweight pieces, with some delay purchases in the hope of price dips. Despite this, the marriage -related question remained relatively stable, given its essential nature. Experts believe that the inherent cultural importance of gold during Akshaya Tritiya, together with the lasting status as a reliable asset, is constantly a positive momentum in buying the current status as a reliable asset, is the ongoing positive momentum in sale. However, the demand for investments remained resilient with an increase of 7 percent to 46.7 tonnes, from 43.6 tonnes in the corresponding period. In the midst of uncertainty about financial markets, Gold’s role as a safe asset has become more clear and reflected in a sharp increase in demand for gold bars and coins. However, the demand for jewelry fell by 25 percent to 71.4 tonnes during the first quarter of 2025 calendar year, from 95.5 tonnes in the previous year. According to WGC, this has been the lowest volume since 2020, although the value was 3 percent higher. Gold imports increased by 8 percent to 167.4 tonnes in the quarter of January, while recycling fell by 32 percent to 26 tonnes, as consumers kept their gold in the midst of record prices. The average quarterly gold price in the first quarter of this year was £ 79,633.4 per ten grams compared to £ 55,247,2 in Q1 2024. Meanwhile, the global gold demand rose 1 percent to 1,206 tonnes in the January March of 2025-the highest first-quart level since 2019.
