DE40 (D1 interval)
DAX has broken out to new all-time highs. From a technical perspective, DE40 seems to be in a general uptrend until the 100-day line (purple line) and the 50-day line (blue line) are broken on high volume, so it is worth watching now to see if the index can sustainably stay above these zones (technically important support points). If such a scenario were to occur, it could mean an increase in the chances of the overall uptrend continuing.

Corporate News
BMW (BMW.DE) shares are gaining over 1% in today's session, temporarily breaking out to new monthly highs after UBS upgraded the German carmaker to buy from neutral, citing prospects for improving returns on invested capital. On the other hand, Mercedes-Benz (MBG.DE) is down 1.4% as the same analysts downgraded the stock to neutral. Porsche (P911.DE) is down 1% as UBS said it believes the justification for the company’s current valuation as a multiple of its earnings is no longer sufficient to sustain sentiment.
