Dude, according to the news Bloomberg covered yesterday, the German government is seriously considering selling its stake in Commerzbank. So if you do the math, the shares held by the state could hit the market—who knows? 🤔
Commerzbank’s situation has always been a hot topic, but now with the government giving the green light for a sale, things get interesting. What do you think? Could this sale trigger some market turbulence, or is it just a boost for Germany’s budget? Share your thoughts!
Will Commerzbank shares be sold off in Germany? And what about the stock market impact?

Yeah, we were actually talking about this exact topic with friends last night. Germany selling off Commerzbank shares could really shake up the market, especially if the government’s holding a big chunk. Something similar happened a few years back with Deutsche Bank—share prices dropped 5-7% in a day. When the state sells, it usually puts downward pressure on prices because investors worry it signals bad news about the company’s future.
But not everyone reacts the same way. If the government sells below market price, there might be some short-term jitters, but long-term, it’s riskier if shareholders start dumping shares just to ease budget concerns. I think the real volatility would hit the DAX—Germany’s main index—since Commerzbank has a decent weight there. It’s not just about the budget boost; the market reaction would matter way more.
