Gold and bitcoin on a tear, German cars in the dumps | The Dip Podcast

The German auto industry is dragging down the country’s economy, but politicians and individual companies are pointing fingers while claiming to buckle down. We talk to DW’s Chief Political Editor Michaela Küfner from Berlin Briefing and DW Business Correspondent Steven Beardsley. Another drag on the German auto sector? US President Trump’s tariffs. But despite “the flood the zone” economic policies from the Trump administration and the government shutdown, gold, bitcoin and the markets are all on a tear. Hosted by Kassandra Sundt and Daniel Winter. #dwbusiness #dwdip
