MUNICH, Germany - Despite a stagnating global economy, unresolved conflicts, and other geopolitical mood killers, the stock market boom continued, at least in the first quarter of 2025. Then came Trump trouble, with the US president instigating a global trade war. The tariff conflict is not only having an impact on the existing global economic order, but also on financial markets. The stock market went on a roller coaster. Investors are reacting to the unpredictability of the 'America First' prophet, which on a long-term could benefit Europe. In this context, here's an overview of how stock-listed bicycle industry companies fared in the first six months of 2025.

MUNICH, Germany - The year 2021 had it all: rising inflation, low and even negative interest rates, supply chains constraints, political crises, trade wars, more lock-downs, virus mutations, and so on. Despite all these uncertainties the global stock market trudged upwards, not to talk about the most ambitious 2021 bicycle stocks. How does that match?
