These factors are helping to stabilize outlooks, particularly in manufacturing.
However, challenges remain. According to the ifo Institute, demand has dropped sharply, with around 40% of companies now facing a shortage of new orders following the rush to front-load purchases ahead of expected tariff increases.
DE40 has been trading in a tight range today, with early gains getting ereased after the release of PMI data. Neverthless, the contract is not so confident about dropping well below 24000 mark. Source: xStation5
