Germany’s market surge: trade the GER40 with Instant Funding
For years, Europe has lived in the shadow of the US—slower growth, tighter budgets, and charts flatter than a Central European landscape. But 2025 might be the year that changes—especially for Germany.
Now, Germany is planning a €500B infrastructure wave and a defense budget that could top 3% of GDP. In simpler terms: the spending floodgates are about to open after decades of tight fiscal control.
📊 The markets have noticed
While the S&P 500 is down ~4% YTD, the MSCI Germany Index is up +15% in euros—and +20% in USD. That’s what happens when a sleeping giant finally wakes up.
As a result, retail traders are switching favorites. Tesla is out. Rheinmetall—Germany’s defense leader—is in.

📈 And the hype? Off the charts
Germany’s defense stocks are now a meme-stock battleground. Enthusiasm has reached such heights that traders are reimagining the future of German automakers in… creative ways.
