Swiss solar panel maker Meyer Burger files for US Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief
ZURICH, June 25 (Reuters) - Swiss company Meyer Burger (MBTN.S), opens new tab has filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy relief in the United States, the solar panel manufacturer said in a court filing on Wednesday.
Meyer Burger's operations in both Europe and the United States have struggled to compete with cheaper products imported from Asia, piling pressure on the company.
Late last month the firm announced it was shutting down its U.S. factory in Arizona due to financial difficulties, and soon afterwards filed for insolvency for its German subsidiaries.
In its U.S. court filing, Meyer Burger listed it had estimated assets worth between $100 million and $500 million and liabilities worth between $500 million and $1 billion.

TRADING DAY Whirlwind fades, calm returns
ORLANDO, Florida, June 25 (Reuters) - TRADING DAY Making sense of the forces driving global markets By Jamie McGeever, Markets Columnist After two days of strong gains in world stocks amid the widespread relief over cooling Middle East tensions, relative stability was the hallmark of trading on Wednesday, with major asset classes moving in much narrower ranges. In my column today I look at U.S. foreign direct investment - was the sharp decline in the first quarter an anomaly, or a warning of what's to come in the brave new tariff world? More on that below, but first, a roundup of the main market moves. If you have more time to read, here are a few articles I recommend to help you make sense of what happened in markets today. Today's Key Market Moves Whirlwind fades, calm returns The MSCI All Country index and Nasdaq 100 touched new record highs for a second session, and Asian and emerging market stocks posted solid gains earlier in the day. But the Dow, U.S. small caps and benchmark European indexes all fell. The euro's march higher is taking its toll, and European stocks have underperformed since the brief Israel-Iran war broke out on June 13. The euro on Wednesday rose for a fifth straight day to $1.1665, its highest since October 2021. Sterling hit its highest since February 2022 at $1.3670, and Britain's FTSE 100 slipped to its lowest this month. Bank of England policymakers may be secretly cheering the pound's rally, however, if it helps tame inflation pressures. The latest Citi/YouGov survey of UK consumers' inflation expectations on Wednesday showed that long-term inflation expectations among the British public rose to the highest since September 2022. One sector faring better in Europe on Wednesday, though, was defense, after NATO leaders agreed big increases in defense spending, especially from Europe. U.S. defense stocks have moved in the other direction this week following the Iran-Israel ceasefire. On the policy and macro front, Fed Chair Jerome Powell's second day of congressional testimony passed off without fireworks, although there were sparks in his exchanges with some lawmakers. He reiterated his view that the central bank is right to wait and see what the impact is from tariffs before considering further rate cuts. U.S. foreign investment slump - anomaly or warning? Much of the 'de-dollarization' debate has focused on foreign exposure to U.S. securities like stocks and bonds. But investors shouldn't ignore foreign direct investment flows, the traditionally sticky capital that may also be sending out warning signals. Foreign direct investment typically involves an overseas entity acquiring the assets of a company in another country or increasing its holdings, often via the purchase of machinery, plants or a controlling stake. FDI is therefore considered a longer-term investment compared to portfolio flows, which can be more volatile. U.S. President Donald Trump says he has attracted record foreign investment into the country. Indeed, the White House has a page on its website with a "non-comprehensive running list of new U.S.-based investments" since Trump's second term began. The running total is in the trillions of dollars and includes pledges from several foreign countries. Included are more than $4 trillion in U.S.-bound investments pledged by the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Japan and Saudi Arabia. During Trump's trip to the Middle East last month, he said the U.S. is on track to receive $12-$13 trillion of investments from countries around the globe, which includes "projects mostly announced ... and some to be announced very shortly." These flows may emerge in full, in time. But official figures on Tuesday showed that FDI in the first quarter actually fell to $52.8 billion, the lowest total since the fourth quarter of 2022. That's well below the quarterly averages of the past 10 and 20 years. The Commerce Department figures also showed that the U.S. current account deficit widened to a record $450.2 billion in the quarter, or 6% of U.S. GDP, meaning FDI inflows barely covered 10% of that shortfall. Should the Trump administration be worried? The short answer is probably not, at least not yet. FDI flows are typically far smaller than portfolio flows into equity and fixed income securities, so from the perspective of funding the current account deficit, the drop in FDI is not as pressing a concern. On the other hand, if foreign investors are also buying fewer U.S. securities, capital from elsewhere will be needed to fund that deficit. Additionally, America's balance of payments data in the first quarter was hugely distorted by domestic consumers and businesses front-running Trump's tariffs, loading up on imports before the duties kick in later this year. Trump's bet is that the deficit will shrink this year and beyond as his 'America First' policies spur more "onshoring" from domestic firms as they bring production back home and the weakening dollar helps U.S. manufacturing by making exports more competitive. The subsequent boom will attract investment from companies and governments overseas. In theory. However, these dynamics work both ways. For example, the European Union is by far the largest provider of U.S. FDI, accounting for 45% of the total in 2023, according to Citi. The combination of the continent's German-led fiscal splurge, U.S. tariffs and 'de-dollarization' concerns could easily crimp that flow, perhaps significantly. Another potential risk to U.S.-bound FDI is 'Section 899' - the possible tax of up to 20% on foreigners' U.S. income that could be part of Trump's budget plans. A Tax Foundation report in May found that Section 899 would "hit inbound investment from countries that make up more than 80 percent of the U.S. inbound FDI stock." Industry pushback may water down Section 899, but it remains a cloud on the U.S. investment horizon. The U.S. is the world's biggest recipient of FDI, with a 25% share of global volumes in 2023, up from around 15% before the pandemic, according to Citi. Its economy is the largest in the world, a thriving hub of innovation, pioneering technology, artificial intelligence and money-making potential. That will always attract FDI. Whether it attracts as much in this new environment remains to be seen. What could move markets tomorrow? Want to receive Trading Day in your inbox every weekday morning?

Qatar Airways passengers on diverted flights all put on new flights within 24 hours, CEO says
DUBAI, June 25 (Reuters) - Qatar Airways said on Wednesday that all of the roughly 20,000 passengers who were on flights that were diverted on Monday night after Iran fired missiles towards a U.S. military base in the Gulf country were put on new flights within 24 hours. Iran launched a missile attack on Al Udeid Air Base in Doha after the U.S. joined Israel's attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, threatening a further escalation in regional tensions before a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was announced. The attack forced Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain to shut their airspace temporarily while Dubai's two airports in the United Arab Emirates briefly halted operations. The closures created a backlog of thousands of passengers at Doha's Hamad International Airport who queued for hours, facing long delays and flight cancellations. "All passengers from diverted flights — approximately 20,000 in total — were cleared within 24 hours," Qatar Airways CEO Badr Mohammed Al-Meer said in an open letter posted on X. "More than 11,000 resumed their journeys during the morning wave on 24 June, with the remainder departing through the evening wave and morning bank on 25 June. As of today, there are no passengers from diverted flights left stranded." Traffic at the airport on Wednesday was regular with minimal delays and no crowds, according to a Reuters witness. Al-Meer said that at the time of the attack, over 90 Qatar Airways flights heading to Doha "were forced to divert immediately" while more than 10,000 passengers were already in transit at Doha's airport. The airline, which carried just over 43 million passengers in the year to the end of March, activated its business continuity plans, increasing capacity to destinations with high volumes of displaced passengers, in response to the turmoil following the attack, he added.
