Alarmingly, U.S. consumer confidence has weakened to 92.9, its lowest in 12 years, escalating recession fears. Deutsche Bank warns that U.S. stocks remain close to historical highs despite equity prices seeming discounted, while Barclays lowered its S&P 500 target to 5,900. Furthermore, SAP's ascent to Europe's most valuable company symbolizes substantial shifts in the global economy.
