German stocks are crushing Wall Street this year, recording their strongest outperformance against U.S. equities since 1999 — a market dynamic that last emerged just before the infamous burst of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/stocks-to-buy-now">the dot-com bubble.</a>
Through June 20, Germany's DAX Index has climbed 17.5% year-to-date, while the Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) has gained only 1.9%. 
The six-month performance spread between the two benchmarks now stands at nearly 16 percentage points — the highest gap since the second half of 1999.
Currency effects further amplified the gains. The iShares MSCI Germany Index Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWG#NYSE">EWG</a>) – a U.S.-listed ETF tracking German equities and adjusting for exchange rate moves — has soared 28% year-to-date, as the U.S. dollar weakened 10% against the euro.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Are German Stocks Outperforming?</h3>
A mix of aggressive fiscal expansion, monetary easing, and global investor rotation has put Germany at the center of a rare equity resurgence.
In March 2025, Germany's Parliament approved a constitutional amendment that exempts military and infrastructure spending from the country's strict "debt brake" law. 
This legal shift enabled the government to create a massive €500 billion ($565 billion) infrastructure fund, aimed at financing green energy, digitalization, and regional development through 2035 — all off-budget to bypass constitutional debt limits.
Additionally, Germany committed to raising defense spending well beyond 3% of GDP — aligning with NATO&#8217;s Readiness 2030 and the broader €800 billion ($900 billion) ReArm Europe plan. This military push has sparked investor enthusiasm in defense stocks and industrial suppliers.
At the same time, the European Central Bank has aggressively cut rates by a cumulative 75 basis points during the first half of 2025, bringing the deposit rate down to 2% in June, amid cooling inflation.
Meanwhile, the U.S. market has faced headwinds. President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff push fueled trade uncertainty and triggered a first-quarter GDP contraction, as businesses rushed to import goods ahead of higher duties set for April.
The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged in a 4.25%-4.50% range, despite declining inflation.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rheinmetall Leads The Charge</h3>
A handful of key outperformers have driven Germany's stock rally.
Defense heavyweight Rheinmetall AG (OTCPK: RNMBF) is up a staggering 181% year-to-date, contributing 356 basis points to the DAX's total year-to-date return. 
Other top gainers include Siemens Energy AG (OTCPK: SMEGF), up 71.7%, Commerzbank AG (OTCPK: CRZBY), up 83%, and Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>), which has gained 47%, each providing significant contributions to index performance.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">History Echoes 1999?</h3>
The last time German stocks outpaced their U.S. counterparts this sharply was in late 1999. Then, too, global investors rotated into European equities amid optimism about reforms and tech-driven growth. 
Yet that outperformance came at the height of global market euphoria: the S&amp;P 500 peaked at 1,550 in March 2000, then plunged 45% over the following three years. 
Whether 2025's surge ends in sustained growth or a speculative overshoot remains to be seen. 
But for now, Germany is among the leaders in global equity markets — and echoing the late 1990s in ways that seasoned investors may not want to forget.

This Rare Market Dynamic Preceded The Dot-Com Crash — It's Back In 2025

Welcome to the March 2025 update of the Perfect Stocks portfolio.
I am about a week late getting this month's update out, but this is a long-term portfolio, and a week here or there really does not matter all that much.
I am running late because we old out Florida property last week, We are digital nomads for the time being, hanging out down in South Texas at my in-laws' place. The dogs love it, the Gulf is close, and it is not hurricane season.
Hard to beat that.
We will be settling in North Carolina in a couple of months and finding a new perfect abode.
The portfolio managed a one percent gain for March, not counting dividends.
The yield is sitting around 4.09%now.
That is a solid showing considering U.S. stocks have taken a hit, down around three percent for the month. Europe, on the other hand, was up 1.89 percent, Japan up 2.53 percent—Japan leading the way again this month. Canada posted a 1.64 percent gain despite tariffs and weaker economic data, while China, no surprise, lagged badly—down 4.74 percent for the month.
Here in the United States, it has been all about tariffs, tariffs, and more tariffs.
Forget AI, data centers, infrastructure, and EV.
None of that is driving markets right now. It is Trump's trade policy that is dominating every conversation. The prospect of a trade war with just about everyone is casting a big shadow over the economy.
On top of that, we are looking at 300,000 government layoffs. The exact number laid off depends on who you ask, but for every government worker gone, figure three to five contractors and private sector folks tied to those agencies will get hit. That is a serious concern.
There is also the immigration issue. Not the border crossings or smuggling. I am talking about legal immigration. The pace has slowed, and that is a problem.
High legal immigration filled jobs without pushing up wages too much. Cut that down, and you have job market problems.
Put all this together, tariffs, declining immigration, sticky inflation that has been around long before Donald Trump moved back to Washington, and we are staring down the barrel of stagflation.
Mild stagflation looks inevitable now, and that is the biggest fear out there. It is tough to hit the administrations political and fiscal goals without running into that wall.
The result? Volatility. Every new memo, executive order, or tweet from the White House is swinging the market around. I expect that to continue. Our job is simple—take advantage of it without letting fear or greed take over.
Europe, which is now the biggest piece of the Perfect Stocks portfolio, continues to tell the same story. Eurozone inflation is stickier than the ECB hoped, coming in hotter than expected thanks to rising services and wages, especially in Germany and France.
Still, markets are pricing in cuts from the ECB, but those cuts are not coming anytime soon. Expectations are shifting out to June or later. Lagarde and company are staying cautious. Between Ukraine, defense spending, and wage growth risks, they have plenty to worry about.
Germany and France remain the sick men of Europe. Industrial production is weak, exports are soft, and consumer confidence is in the basement. Germany's economic policy mistakes, especially around energy, have hammered consumer faith. The debate in Berlin is now whether to keep the austerity policies that gutted the economy or finally turn on the stimulus spigot.
France lost its AAA credit rating thanks to rising debt and protests over Macron's reform. That is a headline we could have run any year in the last five.
The UK's officially in recession.
The Bank of England's signaling three more cuts by mid-September. Inflation's falling, but so are housing prices and employment levels.
Still, bad markets are the best time to buy. Euro stocks just hit a 23-year high on the back of tech, luxury, and energy. Financials lagged due to rate cut sluggishness, but there has been a big rotation into cyclicals, setting up a rebound.
Incredibly, Italy's leading the pack thanks to stable politics and strong banks printing money.
Europe and Japan today remind me a lot of the U.S. in the 1980s. Both are coming out of tough times, cheap assets, no faith in the government. Back then, the vultures circled. Today, it is private equity, activists, and restructuring experts. They are busy. Telecom Italia's in play. Utilities and industrials are being picked apart. European real estate, offices, hotels, multifamily, is dirt cheap compared to the U.S., and private equity's scooping it up fast.
Up in Canada, the Bank of Canada held rates steady this month. They are open to cuts starting this year. Inflation cooled, mostly thanks to energy prices falling. Service inflation is still sticky. Markets see two or three cuts coming, maybe starting in early summer.
&nbsp;But the real story is economic weakness. Growth's flat to negative lately. Add in tariffs and you have mild-to-severe recession fears. Consumers are pulling back, housing prices are falling, especially in the big markets, while rents keep rising.
High debt loads and weak loan growth have bank stocks dancing on a knife's edge, supported mostly by rate cut hopes.
The worse the news, the more stocks we find that are cheap enough to buy. We have had a market-beating start to the Perfect Stocks adventure, collecting dividends and watching several of our names absolutely slaughter the market. Among our leaders:
Magellan Aerospace (Ticker: MGALF) Canadian aerospace and defense company. They do complex systems, engine components, assemblies, space and satellite systems, and maintenance. Tier one supplier to Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed, Rolls, Raytheon, and Pratt &amp; Whitney. They are in the F-35, satellites, and the 737 Max. Cash flow's steady, dividend is solid, and the military/space exposure is only going to grow.
Commerzbank (Ticker: CRZBY) Old-school German bank, Frankfurt-based. They needed a bailout during the financial crisis but have steadily rebuilt. They are sticking to core business—trade finance, capital markets, corporate lending—and rolling out a digital platform. Loaded with capital, dividend back on. If Germany becomes organized, Commerzbank will soar.
China Yuchai (Ticker: CYD) They make big engines—trucks, buses, ships, generators. Heavy-duty diesel, marine, construction, ag, you name it. They are a major player in China's off-road and marine markets and sell into Southeast Asia and Africa. Solid balance sheet, piles of cash, and a 3% dividend. A rare Chinese company that actually looks financially sound.
Other standouts include THK, Central Pareto, and NACO Industries—all of them crushing the market.
Quick news hits:
Porsche SE (Ticker: POAHY) has cash and control of Volkswagen. They are launching an infrastructure fund—think toll roads, energy assets, defense—and pushing money into Volkswagen.
Fresh Del Monte bought an avocado oil business out of Uganda. Fits nicely with their fruit business and avoids Mexican tariffs. Great margins and growth potential.
Maersk (Ticker: AMKBY) inked a 33-year extension at the Elizabeth Terminal in New Jersey, dropping $500 million into upgrades.
Neo Performance Materials (Ticker: NOPMF) is posting 70% cash flow growth, selling off non-core businesses, and focusing on core high-growth, high-margin materials markets. Rock-solid balance sheet.
That is the rundown.
The Perfect Stock approach—deep value, high margin of safety, dividends—is classic Benjamin Graham. It is working.
We are beating the (Ticker: SPY) by a healthy margin and expect that to continue. If the market tanks, our financial strength, and dividends will carry us through.
We will be back next month with a full rebalance. Spoiler alert: most of the portfolio stays. A few winners have run far enough we will be selling and replacing. Thanks for sticking with the Perfect Stocks adventure here on Benzinga Edge. See you next month.

Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank Slammed With $348M Suit By Russian Gas Giant Subsidiary: Report

Tokyo-based bank Nomura Holdings Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nmr#NYSE">NMR</a>) has invested in Fnality, a blockchain-based interbank payment and settlement network that is now sponsored by 17 major financial institutions.
What Happened: After raising &pound;50 million ($54 million) Series B funding in 2019, Fnality is in the process of raising a similar amount again.
&ldquo;The transformation of financial services powered by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-blockchain-penny-stocks/">blockchain</a> technology is clearly accelerating, and we believe Fnality is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the significant opportunities brought by this evolution,&rdquo; Angel Issa, global head of corporate development and strategic investments at Nomura, said.
&quot;We look forward to leveraging Fnality&rsquo;s technology and expertise to continue delivering differentiated value to our clients and partners globally,&quot; Issa added.

Originally known as the Utility Settlement Coin, Fnality tokenizes funds deposited at a central bank and enables the settlement of DLT-based transactions with on-chain digital currency.
&quot;We at Fnality are excited to draw on Nomura&rsquo;s extensive experience in capital markets across Japan, the U.S., and Europe as we expand beyond the UK,&quot; Fnality CEO Rohomaios Ram said.
Fnality&#39;s other investors include Bank of New York Mellon (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bk#NYSE">BK</a>), Banco Santander (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/san#NYSE">SAN</a>), Barclays (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bcs#NYSE">BCS</a>), CIBC (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cm#NYSE">CM</a>), Commerzbank (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crzby#OTC">CRZBY</a>), Credit Suisse (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cs#NYSE">CS</a>), Euroclear, ING Groep (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ing#NYSE">ING</a>), KBC Groep (EBR: KBC), Lloyds Banking Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lyg#NYSE">LYG</a>), Mizuho Financial Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mfg#NYSE">MFG</a>), MUFG Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mufg#NYSE">MUFG</a>), Nasdaq Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ndaq#NASDAQ">NDAQ</a>), SMBC, State Street (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stt#NYSE">STT</a>), and UBS Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ubs#NYSE">UBS</a>).
Why It Matters: After Mizuho, MUFG, and SMBC, Nomura is the fourth Japanese company to back Fnality.
Japan has emerged as one of the most successful countries when it comes to security token issuances.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/05/27182986/nomura-brings-in-its-first-bitcoin-derivatives-just-as-crypto-market-tumbles">Nomura</a>, which has been active in the blockchain and capital markets for several years now, also founded Boostry, which offers a tokenization platform used for bonds and other securities. It also established Laser Digital Holdings, a company that deals in digital assets, in Switzerland.
What&#39;s Next: Since HM Treasury has formally recognized Fnality as a payments system, it is anticipated to introduce its first currency, the British Pound, next month, followed by Euros, U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, and Japanese Yen.
Fnality is reportedly progressing with its digital euro effort, which was supported by an investment made by Euroclear earlier this year.
The necessity for settlement with cash on a ledger in central bank money will become more pressing as security token issuances progress further.

Morning Brief: Top Financial Stories Dominating on Monday, May 23

A single portfolio manager at&nbsp;Capital Group&nbsp;caused an &euro;8 billion sell-off of European bank stocks this year following the Ukraine crisis and global recession concerns,&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.ft.com/content/57d318ca-19bd-44f5-b7b3-ca25f9ec7270" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">the Financial Times reports</a>.&nbsp;
Capital, until recently, had been one of the few active investors backing European bank stocks, which had been marred after a decade of depressed profitability, misconduct scandals, and market share losses as they restructured after the financial crisis.&nbsp;
Capital had built up large, top-five stakes in lenders, including&nbsp;Barclays PLC&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bcs#NYSE">BCS</a>),&nbsp;Deutsche Bank&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/db#NYSE" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">DB</a>),&nbsp;Commerzbank AG&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crzby#OTC">CRZBY</a>),&nbsp;Societe Generale&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scgly#OTC">SCGLY</a>), UniCredit, Santander,&nbsp;BNP Paribas&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpzy#OTC">BNPZY</a>), and&nbsp;UBS Group AG&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ubs#NYSE">UBS</a>).
The drop in the European Stoxx and FTSE bank benchmark indices by 20% and 14% restored the belief in investors that European banks were inherently undervalued.
Portfolio manager Nick Grace had earned good returns as the global economy recovered from the initial shock of Covid-19, and central banks started to raise rates meaningfully for the first time in a decade.&nbsp;
Grace bet that European lenders were undervalued and traded at an unfairly steep discount to the book value of their assets and were poised to generate billions more in profits as interest rates rose, improving loan margins.&nbsp;
Grace and other managers hoped that a long-awaited consolidation would generate value through cross-border and domestic mergers.&nbsp;
But concerns over rising inflation and falling growth sparked by Russia&rsquo;s invasion of Ukraine pushed Grace and some of his fellow Capital managers to sell &euro;8.1 billion of those banks&rsquo; shares.

In addition, Crypto Fear and Greed Index is at 27, which is classified as &lsquo;Fear&rsquo; levels and further indicates negative sentiment. Historically, low a significantly low interest from retail has created profitable buying opportunities.
Despite retail being fearful and uninterested, institutional adoption continues as the second-largest listed bank in Germany, Commerzbank (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crzby#OTC">CRZBY</a>), has now applied for a local crypto license. This would allow it to provide exchange and crypto asset services and become the first major bank in Germany to make this step.
